3. My daughter

is diabetic. Drug manufactures like Eli Lilly (one of my former employers) fund research based on profits. I am cynical.

We only hope for affordable and timely.

9. Profits, I know. A physician told a co worker who asked about

research for insomnia that isn't wasn't enough $ in it, not enough patients IOW. People usually just get by, she said.

5. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn

has reduced and reversed atherosclerosis (commonly called hardening of the arteries). How did he achieve this? By promoting a vegan diet.

6. Esselstyn is highly regarded and the diet effective. I read some

of his books and mentioned them to a friend who has a family member w heart disease. Unfortunately the relative, and spouse would never agree to go vegan and abide such restrictions, so it's meds for them. What can you do, for some. No problem for me since I'm practically a vegetarian and love plants.

7. I'd also recommend

Doctors Neal Barnard, Michael Greger, Kristi Funk and Garth Davis.
