clinical trials

Currently listening to: All I Want – Olivia Rodrigo
And I miss the daysWhen I was young and naiveI thought the perfect guy would come and find meNow happy ever after it don’t come so easily

Given unlimited resources, what scientific or medical problem would you investigate?

Prompt snagged from: NY Times

There are two big ones that I would tackle:

  1. Cancer. All of them. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be 2,001,140 new cases of cancer being diagnosed in the U.S. and 611,720 people will die from the disease.
  2. Alzheimer’s. About one in 13 people ages 65 – 84 will develop Alzheimer’s. One third of people who are 85 years and older will live with Alzheimer’s. And as people are living longer, Alzheimer’s seems inevitable and will affect almost every family.

    These two diseases requires extensive research and serious treatment. It’s saddening the numbers of affected people increase

      It really is and the numbers aren’t going to disappear anytime soon…

        Yes, due to processed foods. So sad.

          Also environment, microplastics, stress, sedentary lifestyle, and more 🙁

    It is so sad Alhiemer’s and Cancer take so many lives. You would be doing a good deed by investigating these diseases.

      Thank you!! Unfortunately, research is being dismantled for this but maybe in the future…

      Ikr? Maybe AI will figure it out…

    I wonder sometimes if they are just making too much money on the med’s to make a cure cost effective.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      That and we have lots of regulations, maybe stem cells and AI can help with this too…. People go to other countries for treatment but it’s worth a try. Diseases like diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, congestive heart failure, and etc., are also big pharma money makers.

    A family member had breast cancer, she opted to not getting operated because she loved her body, she said she would keep smiling, she did chemo. if I remember, anyways, it left her system. I’ve got another survivor as well who’s close. “Beethoven’s 5th cures 20% of cancer cells…” in Brazilian lab is in petri and findings distorted some. Ya! It’s a tough one because one can’t assimilate it at all I think, it just does it’s thing if given control. Malignant son of a gun.

    I only recently found this out: Alzheimer’s can kill you. I thought you died WITH it, that there was some other co-mortality that actually turned out the lights. But it causes organ failure. Man 🫤

      Yass unfortunately when the neurons stop working and they cannot connect with one another they die and the damage sets in areas that control speech and other major functions that the brain does such as breathing and swallowing food.

    I will stay on my soapbox. Eliminate sugar, processed foods, and seed oils. Limit carbohydrates. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence proving the benefits when dealing with cancer and Alzheimer’s. I have hope for my future and my son’s.

      All great advice!! These all cause inflammation along with gluten.
