Specialists seem to warn patients in vain

[Bassim]

Have I made any mistakes?

Specialists seem to warn patients in vain not to waste their money on the private clinics that promise miracle cure. It stands to reason that if a state founded hospitals and clinical research centres are unable to discover cure, despite receiving large amounts of funds from the state, how could a private clinic find it with much less resources. The fact that such clinics still exist and thrives on people's misfortunes show that desperate people often react irrationally, looking for a miracle where there cannot be one. But what is more alarming is the ethics of the doctors who work for those clinics and earn large amounts of money selling a lie to their patients. In the end, there is no difference between a crook doctor and a conman as they both leave their victims with empty pockets and in a miserable state.

To seem to do something is to appear to do it without really doing it. (Example: He seemed to be making a lot of money, but he was really heavily in debt.)

Perhaps:

Do those specialists work for the government?

Those specialists work for different institutions, both private and state-founded, and they are angry at their colleagues who exploit desperate patients and their families and take large amounts of money from them, although they know there is no cure for their illnesses. I know that many such clinics were closed down in the US, but then they moved to Mexico and still dupe patients from the US and other countries. I can't understand that people can believe that a little private clinic could help them when large hospitals and their excellent doctors are unable to. Now those clinics are promising a miracle cure using stem cells, despite the warnings from specialists that this treatment is still untested and dangerous. Can you imagine that there are patients with osteoarthritis who pay thousands of dollars for stem cells to be injected into their joints, only to discover later that they had no effect at all on their condition. In the end they had to get a knee or hip replacement anyway.

You said it yourself. They are hoping for a cure and their ailments persist despite their best efforts. (Desperate people do desperate things, and not always with good results.)

Tarheel,

I'm not sure about the use of an article with "cure".
Are these sentence correct?

Bob was desperately looking for a cure for his illness.

Researchers are working day and night to find a cure for Alzheimer.
