Hi Vicky,
As I mention above I never heard of Ralph Moss before reading the article I posted, and honestly have no idea what other positions he may have taken. However, what he says in this article is, I think, difficult to dispute. Drug companies are not philanthropical organizations--their purpose is to make money for their stockholders. Whatever good they do is secondary and, of course, they do lots of good. Thus, I think it's very important that other, primarily non-profit, organizations be involved in developing and testing drugs that offer no profit to drug companies. Obviously, if a drug can't be patented a drug company is not interested. In cancer research and drug development, we need both: the drug companies and the universities and the governmental agencies. I can't do anything for the drug companies but I can for non-profit groups. So that's my goal for the year.
