1. American Lyme Disease Foundation

Makes fun of patients. Testifies against them in court. Takes money that should go for research and uses it for political lobbying against patients. Will not disclose funding sources. Allegedly started by Insurance Companies, big Pharm and Managed care to counter patient groups. Evil SOBS.

Did you catch the checkbook journalism in the recent Forbes magazine? Attempting to discredit a 70 CT Pediatrician year old doctor who has successfully treated over 7000 children, some internationally, other doctors had given up on. He does not make money on this it is his late life calling. He stands in the way of their lies and must be stopped any way they can. The best they could come up with is that he gave treatement guidelines to an out of state physican to treat a dying child so the child could get well enough to travel so he could be seen. Parents are in an ugly divorce. Dad wanted custody but was probably not going to get it. He was approached by lawyers from a certain "Industry Funded Front Organizations" to file a complaint against the doc and in the process say his wife was doing something wrong by getting treatment for this terribly ill child that again local doctors had given up on.

This country is so screwed up.

6. WOW. Susan G. Kommen Foundation.....

:SIGH: just once I'd like to support an organization that actually wants to cure cancer, rather than come up with a more profitable way to treat the symptoms.

This list just reaffirms my belief that the drug and food and medical industries are working together to make Americans sicker in order to make a huge profit from disease.

7. Yep.. They don't make money when people are healthy, do they?

No profit in pills not prescribed, procedures not needed.
