Anything with poly in front of it probably doesn't belong in the body. Polyurethane and may many other Poly's are known to cause cancer. Why don't they do something like grow us a new disc using our own DNA? They are doing that with heart valves, bladders, etc. When are they gonna get around to us? When are they actually gonna really study things that need to be done? I see a lot of studies and none of them address anything real. It is always ADR or an ancient surgery like fusion.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not holding my breath! I know I sound negative but look at the world today. Do you think they are really gonna do anything for us? What if the financial system fails? There will be no more pain management, surgeries, studies. Then when this Universal healthcare comes into play, forget it. It will be worse than the VA and medicare put together. That is one of the main reasons I'm tapering my medicine. I'm in pain but I sure don't need any withdrawals adding to it if I can't get my medicine anymore.

Don't mean to bring anyone down. Just another way of looking at things. To me it's just one big cabal. Doctors tend to not cure people just treat their symptoms. There is no money in curing people. Sure there are a select few doctors that try and they get the shaft by the establishment. Especially in the United States where I live.

Just to prove my point. I had a heart doctor even admit that to me. He said i would have to be on Liptior and Lopressor the rest of my life cause it is genetic. I said whatever. After researching it, I found out a low carb diet cured me and I got off all those meds. I told the doctor and he said, ideally that's the kinda diet everyone should follow. So what the heck! They all get kick backs from big pharma to push certain meds and devices. Hard to know what to believe. Sorry about the rant. Just my 2 cents.
