Re: Do They Really Want To Cure It?

Here again they use numbers to manipulate data. Figures don’t

lie............liars figure.

The average income of Oncologists shown is a myth because you have to factor in

people in areas making a lot less changing the numbers drastically.

Off the top of my head I’d like to see any ‘well-situated’ Oncologist,

with his office full and they often are, that isn’t raking in $500,000 to a

Million Dollars annually. The numbers they gave didn’t factor in business

expenses which might include a bunch of ‘goodies’ none of us can have or the

Pension Plan installed by smart Accounting Firms so the ‘good doctor’ can

salt away a big piece of the income OR the salary for his or her spouse.

Thanks for opening this subject up. People need to know the motivation

involved in treating people by the Cancer Industry.

Fact: The average cancer patient generates $1,300,000 of revenue for the cancer

treatment " system " before they die. This is invisible to most cancer patients

because much of it is covered by private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. Over

1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year. Over 570,000

Americans die of their cancer every year -- 1,500 every day. Cancer treatment is

REALLY big business.

Fact: According to Forbes magazine, AstraZeneca made $630 million in 2001 on one

breast cancer drug. Thay call it Nolvadex (commonly known as Tamoxifen). Why has

the name been changed? Because the original patent for this drug was issued in

1972. It has been extended, as is typical for expensive prescription drugs, by

manipulation of the filler and packaging and other trivial changes made by

AstraZeneca to extend the life of the patent and avoid cheaper generic forms of

this drug

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the average

oncologist makes $253,000 a year. Of this, 75% is profit on chemotherapy drugs

administered in his or her office. All of these drugs, like Tamoxifen and

Etoposide, treat the symptoms of cancer, not its causes, and make the patient's

condition worse
