[QUOTE="christi99, post: 848010, member: 179601"] Ya - unfortunately where research monies are concerned or distributed, numbers matter, because there is more money to be made on pharmaceuticals- and unfortunately A LOT of the money used in research is received from private Pharma. i.e. new med, new findings, new target etc.- if it can be Rx'd to 10 million people versus help 1 million- they must always be competing to profit. Doctors are approached to do the studies in my country, and they do so as academic faculty etc.and it is expected of them to publish, but many studies are from medical equipment co's or big Pharma. Public grants just aren't going to be spent trying to help a few. Sadly many orphan diseases or drugs are not being used or developed for use because there just isn' t enough Pt base to make it profitable. Really it is just so ...wrong- on every level. [/QUOTE]
