Push for Chemical Cancer Treatments Increases
The war on cancer has some fortified soldiers. Some of the nation’s biggest drug companies are investing an increasing amount of resources toward finding treatments for the disease.
The increasing commitment to cancer treatments grows out of a confluence of economic and scientific factors. New cancer treatments can command very high prices and generate substantial revenue, since there is little competition in the field.
Erbitux, a treatment for colorectal cancer introduced last year by Bristol-Myers and ImClone Systems Inc., carries a wholesale cost of between $18,000 to $40,000 a month per patient. Analysts predict Erbitux will also be a blockbuster.
“Drug companies are seeing that cancer can be lucrative,” said David Moskowitz, an analystwith Friedman, Billings, Ramsey. “Look at Erbitux and Gleevec. They may be for small markets, but the prices will let the companies make money.”

Dr. Keith & Laurie Nemec Comment on Chemical Cancer Treatments
This article shows that cancer treatment is big money for drug companies. Up to $40,000 per month per patient.
As analyst David Moskowitz said, “Drug companies are seeing cancer as lucrative.”
Would it make more sense to put your money into maintaining health than getting rid of disease?
As the saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
How can you prevent cancer? The same way you prevent heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, lung disease, etc. Get Healthy!!
Remember, if you give drugs to a sick person, they might help them temporarily–they are a temporary band-aide–but they do nothing for healing, only temporary fixing.
If you give drugs to a healthy person, they will make him/her sick.
If you invest your time, your energy and, yes, your money into your health, you will not have to invest all of your time, all of your energy and all of your money into trying to overcome disease.

There once was an oil filter commercial that showed the man next to the engine of the car holding an inexpensive oil filter in his hand as he looked at the car’s engine. His words were “you can pay me now (with the oil filter) or you can pay me later (by having to buy a whole new engine)”. These words pertain to our health today more than any other time in history.
