Steve Jobs' Biography Covers His Cancer Battle. Doctors Use It To Attack Natural Medicine

I'm not saying that doctors are not right that its possible Jobs waited too long for surgery, but Doctors and medical groups refuse to study what natural medicines may be effective if they can't get a patent on it.  Por exemplo (Spanish of : For Exa,mple): A common glaucoma medicine is also being used to thicken eyelashes. The eyelash product is named Latrisse, the glaucoma product's name is something like Bimatoprost.  Looking this all up one day, for the first time I found a scientific report saying that the glaucoma medicine worked by stimulating cannabinoid recepters.  Being cheap and somewhat sheltered it took me a few hours to realize that some company had synthesized a chemical from marijuana, gotten a patent on it and was now shopping it as a glaucoma med and eyelash treatment even though the use of either could lead permanent discoloration of light colored irises.  Yes, you can turn your blue eyes brown with mascara style product that costs $100 a tube. 

So once they got a patent for a synthetic product just about anything goes.  Till then our medical system won't study it. If someone had, maybe Steve would still be alive, too, but Big Medicine is too full of rich stuffed shirts trying to keep up with the Hedge Fund Managers to test actual natural medicines and see if less invasive treatments could save people's lives and telling us the real deal about natural vs high cost medicine.
