The yearly US cancer research budget equals what we piss away in Iraq in 2 weeks
Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 12:44 PM by NNN0LHI
Heard that on TV the other day. I think they said that Bush allows 10 billion a year to be spent on cancer research and 5 billion a week for Iraq.

My mother found a lump in her breast last week.

1. If that makes you mad...
it turns out a Bush crony and NIH director has been funnelling money into his own lab. $70 million bucks for his own crappy, trivial work. That's 1% of the annual NIH budget.

Hope it may help.

Also far more people make their living from cancer related services and research than those sufferring from it or so I heard a while ago.

Big Pharma can't profit off herbal formulas. Though they are trying to figure out how to do so through discreditation and regulation.

They won't get away with it.

Best to your mom.

Hope she heals up soon.
