Keeping in Mind That A.I.D.S. Is NOT Over in America….?
Question by Thomas P: Keeping in mind that A.I.D.S. is NOT over in America….?
….. are we simply managing the disease with medications so that drug companies can make billions of dollars? No one is actually talking about a CURE anymore!!! A.I.D.S. in Africa is absolutely overwhelming!!! Is there anyone else out there who is wondering why there are no news stories anymore on A.I.D.S. and the people who are continually impacted by this devastating disease? I am deeply moved by this issue. Isn’t there an ethical issue when a drug company has a medication(s) that could prolong someone’s life and they don’t provide it despite the loss of profit? The biggest part of this question is this (too reitterate): Why are the drug companies not working so much toward a CURE for A.I.D.S, as opposed to making so much more money over the years by just maintaining the health of an HIV positive person for 10 or 20 years with medications? Is it MONEY over HOPE?

Question by armybratz33w: What is a good, easy to read book or website about healthy eating and healthy living?
My father has disease and type 2 diabetes, and just recently revealed to me that he’s taking 13 different medications for health related problems. I have been begging him to change his diet (which is extremely poor, and responsible for his health problems). He’s exhausted all the time, and continued to eat poorly, until last week. What is a good, easy to read book that will help him become educated on how the body works and how specific foods affect the different parts of your body. He’s ready to make a diet change!
