Originally posted by Ravello View PostWhilst I don't doubt that advances in medical science in the last 25 years have been mind-bending in some fields of research, there remains a significant number of illnesses for which there is still no known cure (nor in most cases any known cause either).
The most prevalent category (aside from cancers) are neurological disorders, the treatments available for things like MS, ME, Parkinsons, Alzheimers have changed very little in the last 10-15 years and all seek to manage symptoms as opposed to reversing or curing the disease. Stem cell treatments and such like are still yet to be proven even in rats.. Typically, it takes 10 years to make available treatments proven on lab rats to human-kind ... That's if they do transition successfully.
Additionally, the article you linked DA is 3 years old... The quack in question only has 22 years left to make good on his promises
