“What Scientific Breakthrough Are We Closer To Than Most People Realize?” (40 Answers)

Lyme is awful. I hope it works out

Does this also include lip herpes (I don't have the correct name)? Is much less important than Lyme (Lyme is AWFUL) but would be very convenient.

Would it be too much to ask to have references for these medical facts? Otherwise, they are quite meaningless.

When I was growing up, the ones on the mouth were called fever blisters or cold sores. I got them often and as a kid and teenager, it was awful. Now, people act like you have a huge STD on your face. Luckily, the older I got, the less frequent were the outbreaks. Now, there's medication I take as soon as I feel the tingle and it stops the outbreak.

Source? I really want this to be true.

Oh, this makes me so happy.

I can confirm. I worked in cancer research for a couple of years and some of the stuff they're coming up with is quite intriguing

Now, if they can make them affordable instead of insanely expensive here in the US...

Cell therapy could have been so far more advanced were it not for the self righteous, right-wing "pro-lifers." Ironically, it was stem cell therapy that kept Donald Trump alive when he had Covid.

WOW! This is awesome! never knew we were so close!!

I pray this is true. Losing my father over a period of ten years broke my heart and I'm terrified I will go the same way

I lost my father last month. He was diagnosed with dementia 2 years prior. Even though it wasn't direct cause of his death. It runs in his family - my grandma, one auntie, another had Parkinson's. We consulted neurologist and other specialist. The answer is - these symptoms starts develop years before first profound sign, at which point they can be diagnosed. Brains damage that will cause Alzheimer's will start 10-20 years earlier, without any symptoms. It's just slow process. The reason why it shows when it's basically late for cure is - it's neurodegenerative disease. Neuropath in body is damaged and your body is shutting down, bit by bit. It starts with least important parts - memory, then it will progress to muscle control, then to other organs. I will leave it here for imagination.

Covering up some Americentric nonsense, have a nice day😊

And still people against ''Big Pharma'' . Unpopular opinion maybe. But research isn't cheap, maybe takes years of invests sometimes leading to nothing,so, yes, they have to earn money to finance that. On the other hand, I don't say insuline prices aren't a scandal in certain countries, but to me it's more a matter of States healthcare policies

If it were able to even slow the progression, I would be over the moon; more older folks could stay in their own homes, if they wanted and have a better quality of life.

Oh, I hope this becomes available. My tinnitus is relatively mild, but it can still be annoying trying to sleep, and I already have trouble with insomnia for other reasons.

I wonder if I would miss my tinnitus. It's been the soundtrack of my life for 30+ years.

Where are you getting that this is FDA approved? That would be a big deal if true.

30 years of tinnitus... I'm somehow accustomed but this would be great

oh my goodness...I have been dealing with this for YEARS. It's almost constant and so invasive to everything.

When I was young they didn't have the meds for treating HIV that are now common (and much cheaper). HIV was a death sentence. Sooner or later it was likely to develop into AIDS and you would eventually die. I still would not want such a diagnosis but there is a lot more hope than their was. The thought that it might become a curable disease is pretty encouraging.

Same with Diabetes treatment. Too much profit in buying monthly meds for the rest of our lives.

That's amazing and will help save the lives of humans and animals.

This is amazing! I am terrified of this disease, hopefully it will be affordable

Acura is definitely needed, but do not forget about the Milwaukee protocols for treating symptomatic rabies

Also, rabies is an expensive vaccine. In the USA I was quoted about $700 ball park. I decided to skip it because if you get bitten - the treatment shots area about the same. And I could probably have purchased them for less money in the country I was traveling to. I never got bitten so didn't find out.

You rea;ize that "some one" has to pay for all these things.

If one human can smell it, I am sure many dogs can be trained to do it too.

Okay I had to look this up because everything with magets in medicine sets off my BS radar. Turns out, it's a thing https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/10/depression-treatment.html
