> I read a very sad article fairly recently which asserted drugs get developed mostly per problems (Sorry- I cof "rich" people in "developed countries"-while meanwhile poor and desitute people in places such as parts of Africa and elsewhere die from diseases that no one has any interest in looking for drugs to help cure- thanks to "no profits"-even though they are conditions such as having parasites that seem like they could easily be curable via drug therapy.Oh yes I've read alot of similar stuff. Its like 95% of drug company research money etc goes into drugs for 'rich' countries and then its usually stuff that we don't *really* need like cold remedies and things like that.
Kind regards
