At first BCG was described to have a potential to cure, reverse fully established diabetes. Last publications shows us that they have changed paradigm from a cure to a treatment (supporting existing treatments) for diabetes. Which I think proves that even she has changed her beliefs.Łukasz Molińskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631215226662535320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472921328078253036.post-80642074779566929812013-01-07T14:11:58.351-08:002013-01-07T14:11:58.351-08:00Like you, I find the argument without much merit. ...Like you, I find the argument without much merit. The reality is that not only can researchers get NIH funding for those (which pays for much of the discovery research anyway), and increasingly, we're seeing payors (insurance companies) as well as pharmacy benefits managers help pay for research on generic meds because they're cheaper and compliance is often much higher with such meds. In the end, the excuse sounds nice but doesn't really hold as much credibility as one might suspect.Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472921328078253036.post-55950542656091565762013-01-06T21:36:04.109-08:002013-01-06T21:36:04.109-08:00Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog....Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog.
