    Breathing in smoke and dangerous chemicals can cause damage to the lungs, including a form of lung scarring called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Sanya Mehta, a postbaccalaureate research fellow in the Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health, is helping to develop a therapy for pulmonary fibrosis that works by shifting the balance between friendly and harmful bacteria living in our lungs. One day, her lab’s findings could be used to treat patients with pulmonary fibrosis and possibly to prevent it in people at risk for the disease.

    These studies take forever! I was told by an FDA attorney that the longer the studies go on, the more money everyone involved makes. Don't think there aren't cures out there already. Think about all the people that have come forward with SUCCESSFUL cancer treatments..and how they are being shut down. That says it all.

      All the major institutions are corrupt. 100%. Only patentable (read: highly profitable) treatments are funded. Then, the process of making it through FDA approval is an extremely expensive process.

      think it thru.. the FDA forces the 3 phase studies.the employees, working for the study get paid for their time...the pts get free meds.. the company paying for the study ...who ultimately gets paid for making and selling the drug is paying out for average of 12 years... then has 17 years to make their profit before the patent elapses and it is manufactured by every company in generic form.....it is in the drug company's interest to get thru testing ASAP.
