I have read they are changing their research models to be more collaborative with hospitals and universities. New therapies don't have to come from big pharma. Universities can and do patent and find investors.

No, my pa has been using the tests. There are now two places in my area that do it. The second opened recently. I have not pursued it due cost. But I will be able to afford it soon. ( ) She even thought some plans would pay for part of it but I am dubious about that. It isn't like those mail in ones. She forgot to send the info so I need to follow up. The more she uses it the more impressed she is.

I don't have any tv with ads so regretfully I miss them the pioneers I have read don't get money from pharma. They also don't live in the US. Dr Breggin came up with two types of patient centric models that totally make sense. I see some cities have hospitals that are starting to pick up forms of them. Btw, the cities with hospitals using these types of models have lower insurance premiums because they can negotiate lower rates. However they seem to need to change doctor incentive models to salary. It isn't just our bodies that are wholistic

Universities aren't quite at the point they aren't dependent on big pharma money. But there is more visibility to researchers who take pharma money so there is more incentive to avoid it if they care about impartiality in their reputation.
