Just when you think your hard-earned money is going towards a worthy cause, it's just the opposite. This happens for many reasons, including being misled by fake news, fake causes, fake catastrophes, fake pandemics, fake "retirement" accounts, fake food, fake medicine, and fake wars.

How many Americans have "walked for the cure" (or run) for some huge corporate scam organization that gives 99 percent of the donated money to the pharma thugs that run the show (and it is just a show)? When really, the "search for the cure" for cancer to them means promoting harmful diagnostic tests (mammogram scam-o-grams), pushing for chemotherapy and radiation, and promoting useless surgeries that just temporarily stave off the inevitable. Got bad food disease? Don't use bad medicine to treat it.

It is very difficult to try to discuss with these folks the pathetic ways they waste money, because they have been brainwashed for years to believe just the opposite. They think all of their health problems are "genetic," meaning inherited in their genes from their parents, so they believe there is nothing they can ever do to change it. Their doctors convince them of this so they stay on prescription drugs forever (think blood thinner and cholesterol meds), thinking they can only "manage" the symptoms, and never solve the health ills. They think there is no prevention or cure for cancer, heart disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes, obesity, skin allergies, asthma, and the list goes on.
