I’m currently in cleansing mode thanks to the folks over at Dr. Natura, who sent me one of their colon cleansing kits to try out. Yep, I’ve done a lot of cleanses over the years, boxed and otherwise, including the extreme drinking 3/4 cup of olive oil (Several times. Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it). And I gotta admit, extreme cleansing isn’t for me anymore. My body doesn’t even do well if I completely cut out animal foods in order to cleanse.

Ed. note: Several weeks ago, I published the first installment of this piece by Raine Saunders, Does Fundraising for Disease Pay Off?, questioning whether or not industry fundraising for cancer, diabetes, and auto-immune disorders’ research really does what it’s supposed to do. In this second installment, Raine gives her take on what we might do instead to cure – or prevent – these diseases that doesn’t take millions of dollars of research and years to discover.
What’s the solution?
Although I won’t claim that there is any absolute cure for any disease, …

Millions of dollars are raised a year to find cures for “incurable diseases”, often through the hard work and limited resources of the average American. But does this fundraising really make people healthier, or simply fatten the pockets of the drug companies?
