There’s No Money in the Cure - Why Your Charity Fun Run Has No Finish Line
20,000 people die of cancer every day. That's 8,000,000 deaths every year including 500,000 Americans. At the turn of the 20th century, 1 person out of 20 got cancer. In the 1940's, it was 1 out of 16. In the 1970's it was 1 out of every 10. Today, 1 out of every 3 people gets cancer. 1 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year. Each patent then feeds into a "system" which employs hundreds of thousands of people and generates billions of dollars for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The so-called cancer "treatment" apparatus is so large and expensive that it requires new patients on a continual basis so that it won't collapse. Simply put, Cancer is big business. Cancer is one of the biggest businesses on earth. The average cancer patent spends at least 50,000 dollars on "treatment". With a million new cancer patients every year, that's 50 BILLION dollars annually spent on cancer "treatment".
