Also it creates a major incentive to disregard diseases. What follows is that a dead patient, while not a source of income, is at the same time not a source of costs. I don't see how such an arrangement could work long-term.

Right. I think I remember it used to be normal in some societies to pay the doctor only if he managed to cure you. That sounds much more plausible. Paying for the state transition from sick to okay should work just fine.

As a general rule, the entire medical profession has the incentives set up the wrong way - the more problems you have, the more they benefit.

Yet one of the biggest selling products ever was a cure for hepatitis C. Pharma hiding cures is internet BS.

I’ve had similar success with toothpastes containing “nano-hydroxyapatite” Amazon has several good ones. I also have 2 kids, the youngest (4 yr old) had cavity issues which required intervention and then we started using the hydroxyapatite toothpaste and had no issues since. I also headed down this path via looking for Novamin. I wish there was a reliable way to get it without the “is it fake” on Amazon. I’d gladly a…

I ordered some from Canada, made in Canada, using Ebay (about as reliable as Amazon but it doesn't come from India and it is cheaper).
