 In my opinion, pharmaceutical companies are not here to cure any disease because curing means no further need for their drugs. It's a blatant conflict of interest. The substantial funds allocated to research seldom explore natural remedies. Why? Simply put, herbs and homopathic remedies cannot be patented. If a substance can't be patented, pharmaceutical companies cannot monetize it. The FDA is part of this as well. While their mandate is consumer protection, they often prioritize safeguarding the profits of monopolies and pharmaceutical companies. I believe a comprehensive overhaul of the healthcare system is necessary, placing consumers at the forefront. As consumers become more informed and adopt healthier lifestyles, medical practitioners will lose a lot of business.
