Need research help! Pharma companies and research foundations
Can someone that's good with research help me look into a couple things?
I learned last night while watching a documentary that the company that makes one of Aji's insulins, Eli Lilly, also makes rBGH. The company that makes his other one, Sanofi-Aventis, looks to be pretty involved in the vaccine market. There are alternate brands I could use. They are made by a company called Novo Nordisk. From what I could see at a quick glance, they only work with a couple specific things- diabetes, hemophilia, and I think one other. I want to look into Novo Nordisk a little more before trying to switch insulins. But, I'm not sure where to start. Any researchers have suggestions? I also am interested in looking into JDRF- where the money goes, affiliations, ethics, that sort of thing. Thanks!

Re: Need research help! Pharma companies and research foundations
They appear to be primarily focused on diabetes treatments, with heamophilia, growth hormones for humans, and female hormone replacement. They are also focusing research on areas of autoimmune disorders and chronic inflammation (nice!).
I see no mention of vaccines or products for animals or livestock in any of their corporate literature, nor anywhere else.

Re: Need research help! Pharma companies and research foundations
I'm mostly interested to know how ethical they are a a company. I know lots of companies can make their websites look all slick and nice, but they are not great.
My interested started because of a documentary that mentioned how Revlon sponsors a big "walk for the cure" for breast cancer, while simultaneously using carcinogens in their products. So, I'm mostly looking for that sort of thing. Putting their money where their mouth is. We saw Aji' endo last week and she said in her opinion is that Novo Nordisk is a good company.
