Default Bobbi, I'm bumping this...

The important development regarding a skin cancer gene has recently been announced. For anyone with any neuro condition, especially those having autoimmune components or aspects- THIS IS NEWS TO CELEBRATE!
Think on it! The ability to essentially 'Turn Off' the gene or mechanism that's caused our problems, or, at least, to turn it in the most constructive direction -maybe one it should have gone to begin with, well...HECK! SCIENCE IS GETTING THERE!
I've been reading avidly medical news updates for the last 6 mos, and hadn't caught this one. Hey, the researchers in some corners have gotten beyond the 'mouse', 'rat', or 'ferret' stage! They've gotten to PEOPLE! REAL LIVE HUMAN BEINGS! While some of the news is good, the test group's overall results were sad. Can we, since we're guinea pigs anyways, voluteer in such trials, and get or help progress help to others? Before it's too late?
THE Safe and sorta-kinda-not-really works or THE risky and could make all the difference? If not for us but all of us in the long run? Everyone, search your conscience & check out NIH's Clinical Trials in your area of concerns - For each of us, small steps can lead to GIANT steps. - j
