an email to those people who 'buy pink' in order to cure cancer

I wonder if the people who urge their friends to 'buy pink' to fund cancer research are open to the possibility that they may not be doing the rest of us any favours.  I wrote to my friends as follows:

I wonder if the people who send me requests to 'buy pink' or put a 'fight cancer' statement on my Facebook Wall will put has much effort into promoting this link.  or even reading it.

 

In my view the cancer industry is not looking for a cure, it's looking for a treatment - more specifically, a drug to treat cancer patients.  They would suppress anything natural that really did cure cancer because they cannot patent it and so cannot make money.

Reasonable - they are in business to make money for their share holders.  In fact their share holders demand it.

But I guess that the majority of people will 'feel good' about promoting a link to 'fight cancer' or 'buy pink' (a racket if ever I saw one) but hesitate to research the work of Dr Max Gerson because somehow, it seems quacky.
