Will there ever be a psoriasis cure?

[D Foster]

I would love for there to be a 100% cure, I think there already is one. But the problem is pharmaceutical companies can make more money treating the symptoms than they ever would by providing a cure.

Lets take cold and flu remedies for example because the stats for that is more readily available in 2009 it was predicted that in the UK alone we would spend £521 million on over the counter remedies while in the US it was $2.5 billion if there's that much money just in those 2 countries imagine the world profit. Why peddle a cure where you could only make a fraction of that total profit and your shareholders lose out when you can keep your shareholder's happy and make a tidy profit.

I'm a firm believer that somewhere in a lab there are cures for cancer, flu, common cold but while there is a lot of money to be made on topical creams etc in the case of P until something changes I sadly cant see them letting us have it.

Sorry for being a bit negative and heading into Tin Foil hat territory. But i believe that until we as a race move forward and leave financial gain behind and start working toward the betterment of mankind as a whole, these cure's wont be in general circulation.

I am sorry but I disagree because I think that the profit part of the equation is the driving force to continue to move forward and if that was not there you would get the same stale economy that used to prevail in the eastern bloc with very little in the way of innovation. I don't think that the cures are in a lab somewhere as it would need cooperation between all the rival companies involved to keep their mouths shut and that would not happen . There will never be a situation that will leave financial gain behind as the if there was it would not work as the majority of people are generally just for themselves and would look after their own life .
