Your statement sounds like everything is going well and that this new Alphabet company is just making the situation ever better.<p>I do not agree: the situation is getting worse: all rates of diseases are growing rapidly.  The USA spends the most money on health care and dropped to place 43 on the list of countries with best health.  The USA dropped below Cuba!<p>So it is time to step back and evaluate the situation.<p>Lets look at cancer.  Around 2003 there was a study publisged in the Journal of Oncology stating that 97% of the patients who had radiation or chemo died within 5 years.  There is no followup study but since there are no new treatments, the number is most likely the same.
I like a quote of Einstein: repeating the same experiment and expecting a different outcome is insane.  So I am against more investments in cancer research since it proves for over 50 years that it does not work.
So what to do?<p>I suggest to look at the works of the &quot;alternative&quot; doctors who get results.
The medicince that they practise is &quot;functional medicine&quot; and has great results, but there is no double-blind research to their methods.  It is time that this changes.  Do the research for the various anti-cancer treatments and find out what works best.<p>There are many other diseases where functional medicine has far better results than allopathic medicine but they are ignored most of the time.  The recent online summit by Dr Mark Hyman (the fat summit) had 120,000 viewers so things are changing for the better but there is a long road to go.
