Everywhere you go, someone asks you for money to help find the cure for some disease. It's the race for the cure! It's the telethon for the cure! It's the walk or run for a cure! At grocery stores, cashiers ask if you want to donate a dollar to help find the cure. Other retailers want to sell you fashion-minded colored bracelets that raise money to find the cure. There's always someone who wants your money in exchange for the hope that your dollar will somehow help them "find a cure" for some awful disease.

I have a very big question to ask about all of this. This has literally been going on for decades. Researchers have been searching for a cure for cancer since the late 1960s, and for other diseases since at least the 1970s. At that time, they said cures were right around the corner; it was just a matter of a few more dollars; then they would have the cures available. Well, here we are, 30 or 40 years later, with still no cures. We've been running this race for decades, funding it with literally billions of dollars. If all this money has gone to the race to find cures for these diseases, then where are the cures?

You've been lied to

Similarly, diabetes is just a name given to a metabolic result caused by certain lifestyle choices. There are no pathogens that cause diabetes. You can't put something under a microscope and say, "Aha! This is what caused diabetes," because type-2 diabetes is actually just a cause-and-effect result that follows a lifetime of consumption of refined sugars, coupled with lack of exercise. That's no disease, that's just a result.

Think of it this way: if I told you to go run up a hill, you'd get to the top of that hill and you'd be breathing hard. Your face might be flushed. Your respiration would be rapid. Your heart rate would be high. It wouldn't be too difficult for me to find a doctor that might diagnose these symptoms as a "disease." We could even give it a name: Hyper-Respiratory Illness or HRI. And then we could easily get a drug company to come up with a drug to mask the symptoms of HRI -- a chemical that would forcibly slow your heart and slow your breathing.

That drug company could claim to be doing "research" for HRI, and they could even sponsor a fundraising run to "find the cure for Hyper-Respiratory Illness." But none of this makes HRI a real disease. It isn't a disease, it's a result. It's the result of running up a hill.

Diabetes is much the same. It's just a metabolic result. There's no disease, no infection, no virus or bacteria. There's just a result, caused by years of incorrect food choice and lack of physical exercise. So, you see, any race to find a "cure" for diabetes is about as silly as trying to find a cure for breathing hard after running up a hill.

No wonder we haven't found cures for these diseases, even after 30 or 40 years of research and billions of dollars from people giving up their money to fund these research efforts. These diseases aren't technically diseases at all.

And yet the con continues. The researchers say, "All we need is a little more money. We're close now! We'll find the cure now!" When you look at the finances of some of these organizations, it's no wonder they're not finding a cure: very little of the money they raise goes to funding research programs in the first place.

Some charities spend very little money actually helping people

Similarly, the Childhood Leukemia Foundation spends only 13.5% of its budget on programs used to help children with leukemia. The rest of the money goes to administration (salaries and other costs) and fundraising (marketing and promotion). (Source: http://www.charitynavigator.org/ind...)

Here's another health-related foundation that spends very little of its money on real programs to help real people: the Wishing Well Foundation USA. Accounting the Charity Navigator, this foundation spends a mere 10% of its budget on programs that directly help people. The other 90%? Marketing, promotion and administration.

You can find similarly disappointing numbers at other disease organizations, such as:

the American Institute for Cancer Research
