Dear Ya-all,
Let us follow the money when you give say $10 to medical research charity for any disease.
First off, a charity designated by way of a disease label is not about building health and those doing the research are not about building health but almost entirely about removing symptoms. The best health building "charity" that you can contribute to is to start to take responsibility for your own health and to be a good example to others. But I digress slightly, but only slightly.
You hand the $10 to the nice, smiling volunteer. Both you and the nice, smiling volunteer benefit by this gesture. If you stop reading this rant now, you will continue to be benefited by such charity, but you will have made the choice to be ignorant, which is a bad choice. So, you are stuck with reading the rest of this rant. (:->)
The nice, smiling volunteer probably pays lip service to holistic health and/or health building. She/he may even work at holistic health for her/him self. But the money goes elsewhere. In effect, the end-user of the money is using this dear person.
As that $10 bill floats down into the medical research charity basket, it magically turns into a $5 bill because at least 50% disappeared into administration by the charity, probably more. That charity will most likely take the rest of that money and give it to a pharmaceutical company for "research". The pharmaceutical company will divide that money between actual research by actual people in lab coats and for sponsoring continuing education "courses" for doctors. To see what a scam that is, check out what my favorite blogger Jason Fung has to say about continuing education for medical doctors. https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/ ... nd-scenes/ The short read is that medical continuing education courses are such a scam that Dr. Jason Fung, MD refuses to participate in them. Of course, the pharmaceutical aren't inviting him to participate and/or speak any more. But his article is a very good and entertaining read, so I encourage you to read it.
Now, for the roughly $2.50 that goes to "actual" medical research, you might say that that is better than nothing. I say that nothing is not better than nothing. Virtually all of that $2.50 going to actual research by the pharmaceutical drugs must necessarily be done to make or improve drugs that have never seen the light of day since the Big Bang. In other words, your body has no gene complex to deal with those drugs nor the metabolites that those drugs cause in your body. They are like a foreign substance in your body. They do not build health. They almost certainly will help you with your symptom, and dealing with that symptoms may actually save your life and will certainly improve the symptom, but your health is not improved and your ability to not develop new pathologies has not decreased and it may actually have increased.
So, now you see that giving any money to medical charities is enabling fools, con artists, and a scam-machine the likes of which the world as never seen before. Just because thousands of people are involved in a scam doesn't make it any less of a scam. Just because the front-people are sweet and cheerful and well-meaning does not mean that they are not being used by people more concerned about garnering your money than they are about real solutions to health.

Sounds exactly like a description I recently read of what happens to
charitable money in Russia...every one takes some on the way to the charity
until a miniscule amount is left for the charity.

These non-profits are run heavily for the profit of their executives. There is no trickle down anything with them!

OxFam I believe is one of the few who make sure the vast majority of their collections actually go to the people who are supposed to receive them.

There was a list some time ago that detailed these finances so can probably do an online search for that information
