The cancer cure, I'll be watching that one. Countless companies have thought they were down the path too, then the trials fail. Yes heart disease is largely preventable. Problem is, milkshakes and steak taste so damn good. Knowing what to do is easy. My blood pressure gets way too high. If I get back on the elliptical machine, stick to my daily plain oatmeal, and lay off the ice cream, then I can take 150/90 down to 110/70 in a little more than a week. A couple times a year I get lazy. I think if a few cancer cures ever become available, and a segment of the population is cured, then something else becomes the worry by default and the money and medicine will just shift focus. Something else will kill ya, something to treat.
I've had shares in AMRN a long time. They make an FDA approved, highly purified EPA (like fish oil but way better) to treat people with very high trigs. FDA hosed them 7 yrs ago on making the label broader. Said they need an outcomes study. So for 7 years they did the study with thousands of patients. Results came in a few months ago. Outcomes (death, heart attack, stroke) were reduced by 25%. Stock went up 300% in 1 day. Prescriptions are increasing every week. Still need FDA approval for the larger population later this year, but it has the makings of a game changer. Maybe you've seen their ad on Fox news. Their pill is called Vascepa. I guess my point here is that people will take a pill to help if they can just tweak their lifestyle somewhat and find some middle ground.
Rush for Pres.
