>Everything else will probably get sorted out in the next century or so
I'd rather see cures within the next decade or two. I have prediabetes. I'm taking care of myself via healthy eating and exercise, but I don't want full beetus looming over my head.

Hopefully, I don't lose my legs or experience any complications. What's your grudge?

>>8883631
That can only have a real impact on germ lines and a few diseases caused by issues with cells constantly derived from a few stem cells. So gut, blood and fertility diseases in men could be good candidates. Otherwise at best you'll have temporary relief.

>>8883642
A few days ago i saw that they used it to successfully cured a mouse that had AIDS in most of its body so maybe with some more time it could be a permanent solution. Also heard about something called NaD+ which could in theory "stop the aging process"

>>8883647
The latter is totaly nonsense and as for the former what they can do in mice in amazing - im pretty sure if someone loved their mice enough today they could make it immortal and have a 190IQ. That's what you get for ethics free experimentation. However it almost never translates over to humans.

Yet if it can be done in mice then it must mean some mechanism exists by which it could be done in humans. Perhaps it involves editing the white cell line to not be infiltrated.

>>8883652
True enough I heard they will try the treatment soon on monkeys or animals close to human biology to see if they can replicate results. It would be nice if NaD+ is a true thing though it does sound to good to be true, tho living forever would be nice.

>>8883662
If you plan on living a long time your best bet would be finding some way of preserving your young DNA now so that you can later be edited back to youthful health. Get fully sequenced or something.

diabetes will require some active gene therapy most likely or some kind of intelligent implant, give that a decade or so

AIDS is fucking tough, it's viciously chimeric and loves to mutate like nuts. That will take a very long time and the best we can do is make better antivirals

Cancer is also tough because its a broad classification of hundreds of radically different diseases. Right now, immunotherapy looks like an excellent tool to fight it, as well as improving detection methods so it can be caught way earlier. Give this a decade for good immunotherapy to attack the most prevalent and dangerous cancers like breast cancer

heart disease is a sumbitch because preventing it is hard and reversing it is even harder. i'm not really sure what the research currently is but i'd be really surprised if we had any very good prevention/reversal methods before 25 years from now. Until then, just eat healthy and exercise a lot

I've had Type 1 diabetes for 27 years now. There's always some cure just on the horizon. When I first got it people were saying it would only be five years until I was cured because of some successful chimp experiments that involved putting islet cells in seaweed so immune cells wouldn't kill them.

I really wish we could just put all the cure research money into developing a wearable device that monitors blood sugar and administers the correct insulin dose.

>>8882886
A cure for cancer will likely never happen, its like asking how long it will take for us to find a cure for bacterial infection. The specificity of cancers varies significantly, and can often arise from various different external or internal stresses. A more important question would be to ask how long to cure specific cancers, much like how you would ask how long will it take to cure tuberculosis.

Not too sure about HIV because a lot of drugs have been developed that worked in the past, but HIV is such an impressive virus due to it's capability to make only a single nucleotide mistake when replicating it's genome. This allows it to evolve rapidly and efficiently compared to other viruses. I also don't know too much about diabetes, but I'd assume it would be eradicated via gene therapy in the coming decades seeing as effective methods like CRISPR have been patented.

>>8883642
There is one treatment using CRISPR to train the body's immune system to attack cancer cells. The reaction is pretty intense and can cure cancer in a matter of days or even hours, but the patient has to endure dangerously high fever caused by the immune response. Also, as far as I know it can only be used to target an identified cancer in the patient, so it can't work as a general cancer vaccine.

>>8888978
They are born with self-repairing telomeres so their cells hardly ever mutate into cancerous forms

Realistically, what would we, as citizens, be able to do to speed up progress in this area to guarantee permanent cures for diseases?

Supposedly there are already cures for cancer, though you would have to verify for yourself whether they're real or not considering the stigma around claiming to have the cure for cancer in general.

>>8890059
I hope there are cures for many of these diseases in our lifetime.

Yes. The entire medical system is designed to treat symptoms for profit, not to cure anything.
The only thing you can do is come into a position where you're making the choices on what to research and release to the public.

>come into a position where you're making the choices on what to research and release to the public.
I'm not smart enough enough for that, sadly.

>>8890170
Not really - i live in a country with nationalized healthcare where the overriding motive is to cure as it reduces costs. Our content of treatment is identical to the american with the primary difference being the US has a lot more scans and tests.

>>8890045
>Is the pharmaceutical industry holding back progress in these areas?
There have been rumours, for decades, that Big Pharma is sitting on the "Next Great Thing" that will be launched when their patent portfolio expires. The problem with this conspiracy theory is that Big Pharma has already reached the end of life of patents, called "Patent Cliff" and nothing groundbreaking has appeared. Instead these companies have fired researchers in droves and now aim for making generics, big time.That will put a serious dent in the hopes of new groundbreaking medicine since development is horrifically expensive.

The second factor is that most of the groundbreaking research has taken place in academia and this has been the case for a decade or so and academia lives and dies on publishing, not sales. Thus there is nothing stopping academia from revealing breakthroughs, quite to the contrary. Also how can you stop underpaid students and research assistants from revealing secrets?

>>8882886
Is there anything exciting going on with Crohns?

>>8890525
It's a good candidate for CRISPR, seen as the gut is highly replicated from germ lines as is the immune system. So theoretically editing could remove the reaction or repair the gut. Probably won't be around for a fair while yet though and will be banned on site by leftists for being ableist.

>>8890510
Saying that "big pharma" or the rich are sitting on crazy medical technology is just wishful futurism, same as "if we ever go to war DARPA is going to reveal all their black site tech ufos".

I know an ex-goldman sachs CEO and his son has really unfortunate diseases and he gets the same type of treatment as everyone else, just quicker and more monitored.

Despite what bitter people think, the rich aren't in the mind set of keeping good things from others for no reason.

>>8890606
Not the guy you're responding to, but I'm sure Big Pharma has a lot of crazy medical tech that they're keeping from everybody - Rich included.

And the person that donated the infected blood probably got it from sticking his dick in some other faggot, so the point still stands.

>>8882886
technically you could say diabetes is already cured, in the sense that diabetes is mostly a deficiency in insulin and we can easily provide insulin in injection to the patients. "Curing" it in the sense of administering a single treatment and not having to think about it anymore would basically be solving immortality. The exception to that would be for type 1 diabetes, which is an auto-immune disease which could potentially be screened and stopped before it destroys the pancreas.

>>8882886

>Diabetes
Cures for type 1 diabetes have been reported following bone marrow transplant
Pancreas transplant also cures diabetes
Immunomodulatory therapies are currently being developed to cure type 1 diabetes

>Cancer
This is a massive heterogenous group of diseases. It's like saying "when will we have a cure for all heart conditions"

>AIDS
Antiviral therapies basically suppress viral counts to undetectable levels.
Also, bone marrow transplants have been reported to achieve cure

>>8891805
> Pancreas transplant also cures diabetes

Not really. The problem with Type 1 diabetes is your own immune system destroys the insulin producing cells. A transplanted pancreas stops producing insulin in under a year unless heavy immunosuppressive drugs are used, so you've replaced needing one medication to stay alive with another, and now a common cold will kill you because you've got no immune system.

>>8891836
>No longer has diabetes
>Somehow implying that this doesn't constitute a cure

>>8891840

>have brain cancer
>remove brain and keep body alive on machines
>"what do you mean this isn't a cure?!?"

>>8891842
It is a cure

The adverse consequences of the treatment simply outweigh the benefits. That doesn't mean the treatment isn't curative

>>8891859
Having to inject insulin is better than having a severely compromised immune system.

>>8891867
Not in all cases

Diabetics have to flood their body with high circulating concentrations of insulin in order to reach the liver- the primary organ upon which the liver acts. This promotes further insulin resistance and pancreatic dysfunction as well as increasing body weight.

Diabetic nephropathy is the commonest cause of kidney failure and if a kidney transplant is going to be performed, patients are evaluated for a simultaneous pancreas transplant because this is going to cure their diabetes and protect their new kidney. Their kidney failure and their diabetes are both cured. Without this measure, they will suffer a premature death that is averted despite the need for suppressants.

>>8891757
Crohns

>>8891921
You can control that nowadays with Biologics right?

>>8891933
Not really, any one biologic usually helps about a third of patients and for about 6 years before they become immune to it. All the while at quite potentially drastic side effects. Even during this time on them you might still need intermittent steroids to dampen down attacks.

Im on my first biologic lately, seen as i was only diagnosed a year ago and you have to move through all other medications first. IBDs are second only to degenerative neurological disorders in terms of being shockingly under provided for.

>>8891943
Shit, autoimmune diseases suck. I've got Vitiligo myself, sucks that there's no cure.

>>8891955
I know, reading this thread and it does annoy me that we are so competent in treating diseases like HIV when all it takes to not get it is self control, but there's a huge public lobby for research and funding. Meanwhile those with genetic disease, who had no choice, are told good luck. I just spent a week hospitalized for obstructions and in the end got let go with all consultants saying they had no idea why it happened.

I hope we see some consumer gene editing in our lifetimes as they will massively help auto-immune diseases.

>>8891880
You're getting type 1 and 2 diabetes confused.

Type 1 is not caused by insulin resistance or body weight. It's an autoimmune disease where the body destroys its own insulin producing cells. It's the one where insulin injections are always required. It's also the one where transplants don't work without immunosuppressants for life.

Type 2 is caused by insulin resistance due to diet and exercise. Most Type 2 diabetics do not need to inject insulin. If they get a pancreas transplant they only requires immunosuppressants for a while to stop the initial rejection.

>>8891971
>gene editing
I doubt we'll see it in our lifetime. The body's just so damn complex. It's amazing that a majority of people are generally healthy.

>>8892007
I doubt it too, but it's the one real promise of a cure at all. Otherwise my future is one having all my guts removed, slowly crippled from IBD arthritis, weak bones and diabetes from steroids and cancer and nerve disease from biologics.

And yeah it is but i used to read all the "1 in 200 has this, 1 in 1,000 has this etc" and think surely everyone has something then but i dont know anyone who does. Then i got very ill one year and became one of them, i think everyone has something in the pipeline at some point.

>>8891805

If we can keep for destroying our environment or blowing ourselves up with nukes, there'll come a day when no one has to suffer from disease. The thought of that gives me hope, makes me want to do my part to get us there.

>>8892032
Well if we blow ourselves up with nukes then no-one will have to suffer from diseases either. The hilarious thing is that i was almost a hobbyist "prepper", my house is in the countryside and i own gas masks, weapons etc just out of lazy paranoia. But now if anything were to happen i would be without medicine and die within a year.

>>8892053
That sucks. Good luck anon.

>>8890201
Then why not educate yourself so you can ascend to a position like that? If you truly want to change the path we are spiraling down, then you will learn what needs to be done to change our future.

>>8892003
I don't think you actually understand what you are talking about.

>Type 2 diabetes
>If they get a pancreas transplant they only requires immunosuppressants for a while to stop the initial rejection

You need to learn about the immune system, bro.

Pancreas transplant patients require lifelong immunosuppression, regardless of the type of diabetes they have

There is a lot of overlap between the autoimmune component of diabetes and insulin resistance. For example, you can sometimes find type 1 diabetics on metformin and insulin in an effort to overcome the insulin resistance element of their diabetes.

Insulin is a hormone designed to act primarily on the liver via the portal circulation. In order to achieve the portal insulin concentration, the systemic circulating dose has to be so much higher. This has the unwanted effect of placing systemic organs and adipose tissue in an anabolic state promoting the formation of further adipose tissue. Insulin itself frequently leads to inceases in body weight for this reason. High concentrations of insulin have also been documented to contribute to insulin resistance. This phenomenon is seen in both type 1 and 2 diabetes.

Whilst most type 2 diabetics do not require insulin, a significant proportion of them eventually do.

Basically, the only vaguely correct thing you have said is that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. That is indeed the primary mechanism. Your view of the aetiology of type 2 diabetes is far too simplistic. Everything else you have stated is objectively incorrect

>>8892170
Not that guy, but I thought Type 2 diabetics don't require insulin injections if they watch their diet and are physically active.

Practically all diseases are cured now, the public just doesn't know about it.

>>8883613
If you think that's what really causes diabetes you don't have the faintest clue.

>>8892225
Generally speaking yes, but that is by no means a certainty. Many people continue to develop insulin resistance and will still require insulin. This process can take several years but the risk of eventually needing insulin is present in anyone with type 2 diabetes

>>8888888
posting for a link to the get, please ignore.

>>8892240
I know there are cases where people who previously had to take insulin no longer required to do so when they implemented lifestyle changes (diet and physical activity).

>>8892308
This is true. However, even in many of those people, their insulin resistance progresses and they can end up on medication again.

>>8891971
I'm sorry about the auto-immune and the lack of focus they're getting.
I wish effort was allocated equally treating diseases of all types. What do you think can be done to increase awareness and intense effort in treating (and later curing) auto-immune diseases?

>>8892232
>Practically all diseases are cured now, the public just doesn't know about it.
Elaborate.

>>8883153
>what is a vaccine

>>8891799
Your "curing is more of just managing the symptoms.
Not a true cure.

>>8892861
And your understanding of the concept of "disease," as that person said, makes the only cure to make us all immortal.

>>8892960
I guess I meant in reference to chronic conditions.
Sometimes you can be sick and you'll be fine and back to normal if you take a bit of medication and rest.
But things like Diabetes, crohns, asthma, etc. persist forever and are merely dormant.

>>8891777
some people dont know they have it

also its hard to detect in people who have just recently contracted it

>>8892975
so we'd have to do a few passes

>>8892974
That's because some things are just simple infections, and some things are much more complicated than that and the cure to them is to regulate a fundamentally deficient system in the body.

>>8892359
Couldn't that be negated by increasing their insulin sensitivity?

>>8882886
I don't think you will ever be able to cure cancer, especially as people are living longer and longer, increasing the risk of mutations. I think the best we can hope for is a more targeted way of removing it, like drugs designed to destroy specific cells or even tiny nano surgeons that can be simply injected into your bloodstream at an outpatients clinic and left to do it's job as you also go about your life. But such advancements are still decades away at least.

Gene editing is complex as fuck. Chinks have already done it in human embryos (not memeing, they fucking published it) with CRISPR and the best they got were mosaics, which means some cells expressed the changes while others did not.
There is a fundamental difference between understanding the processes at hand and actually making them work. Life is a clusterfuck of molecules after all and all the interactions between them define the living being. Dont expect gene editing to help you in the next 50 years.

It sounds shallow but you need celebrities to have it and then a large public movement. Most auto-immune diseases carry an element of shame about them so anyone high profile with it hides it and regular patients tend to as well. Obviously shame and gay people often don't go hand in hand so we got "Ive got AIDS parades" which helped raise awareness.

There also needs to be more stringent controls on what people can advertise as alternative therapy, because exploitation is rife and i know too many crohns patients killing themselves treating themselves with diet and expensive yoghurt. It's bad that the medical profession cant offer anything but the solution is scientific research, not naturopaths.

>>8891971
>we are so competent in treating diseases like HIV
It is all about the mass market vs. the rarer illnesses. It can take 15 - 20 years from start to getting the compounds on the shelves at the chemists and many projects fail long before clinical trials even.

The only other hope is academic research as that is less bound to big money. As a researcher back in the days (not pharma) my salary was not enough even to pay down student loans so the attraction is not big for this career. You have to be an idealist or have a personal pony in the race.

>>8893484
I think the real villains of the story are the LGBT community trying to undermine society, but that's too political of a topic for this board.
Besides, looking for cures for currently incurable diseases is in the best interest of everybody.

>>8891971
>Meanwhile those with genetic disease, who had no choice, are told good luck.
I think it's more of an issue with how difficult genetic diseases are to cure. With HIV, you can see the virus, study it, find out its weaknesses and come up with ways to target it.
How do you go about curing a disease you don't really know much about? You don't know what genes are causing it, and even if you can take a guess, you haven't got a clue how those faulty genes cause the disease. And gene therapy itself is extremely difficult to pull off.

What are you implying?

>>8894381
We didn't know HIV was a virus first- it took research, then we learned how difficult a virus it was, then 500,000 homosexuals and actors took to the street saying how unfair it is that they should be expected to wear condoms when having indiscriminate sex with strangers and so within about 30 years it has been functionally cured.

Meanwhile after about 15,000 years of multiple sclerosis the international community has kindly deigned to work out one gene mutation relevant and no treatment.

You are joking right? Aside from africa where it is endemic due to anal sex trying to avoid pregnancy it is almost exclusively gay.

>>8895287
(((why indeed)))

>>8887998
>most prevalent and dangerous cancers
>breast cancer

whoops looks like you swallowed the feminist kool aid, anon

What do (((they))) have to do with anything regarding AIDS or beetus?

No. Patent laws and lack of funding are holding back the pharmaceutical companies. People forget that pharmaceutical companies are businesses too. It costs a shit load of money to develop a drug, and a shit load of money to acquire and renew a patent that only lasts ten years. Investors don't want to pour money into a drug that won't make them profit. An altruistic company is a shit company.

Type 1 Diabetic here, I honestly think it will be cured within our lifetimes, or at least made even more manageable via an Artificial pancreas type of pump. Either that or they find out some sort of stem cell way of curing it. I'd say within anywhere from 5-15 years it should be cured. If it doesn't get cured in 25 years I'd be surprised considering all the advances going on right now.

>>8898000
Wouldn't an artificial pancreas require run the risk of your immune system trying to attack the new pancreas?

Thanks for your expert, informed and researched opinion. Maybe they'll use magic stem cells to regrow your legs and eyes in 30 years.

By " Artificial pancreas type of pump" he probably meant something similar to the insulin pumps that already exist but able to sense blood sugar and administer insulin as good as a real pancreas. It could be an implant or wearable. If it's an implant it's just inert plastic and metal like a pacemaker. Wearable makes a lot more sense to me since it would need to be refilled with insulin regularly.

what if aids went through condoms?

>diabetes, cancer, AIDS
you do realize those aren't even in the same ballpark, right?
There is like 2,000 types of cancer and you get any of them by simply existing

>>8898306
mad

Diabetes can pretty much be 100% prevented by not being weak, fat and sedentary.

I think my risk of getting ovarian or uterine cancer is zero percent.

>>8899185
Doesn't mean it shouldn't have a cure.

Exactly 12 years 5 months 3 hours and 43 seconds away.

>>8900116
Where do you get this number from?

>>8900180
I got this number from my stinking shitbox, it allways tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

>>8899189
Time to cure the all.

>>8899472
It does mean the cure should be dead last on list of priorities

>>8899153
then it would lose it's purpose.
AIDS is supposed to punish sex-havers

>>8901207
Their empty shallow lives are punishment enough.

>>8899162
Indeed.

Who the hell cares about all those lame ailments? We should put more effort into finding a cure for male pattern baldness.

>>8882886
Terminal illness is an industry. Why cure someone permanently when you can leech off their money by keeping them alive for as long as possible?

>>8904994
Because it costs the country money to manage these conditions. That money can be better allocated on other productive things.

On the cancer-curing field lots of progress has been made. I read an article about "personalized" cures. They take your dna and create a virus or bacteria of some sort that only attacks camcer cells.

Its kinda spoopy because it reminds me of i am legend

>>8904994
Because plenty of countries have nationalized healthcare where the overriding drive is towards curative medicine and they treat exactly the same as private healthcare so your bitter conspiracy theories are shit.

>>8905752
The problem with those personalized cures is that you have to tailor them specifically to each patient. This means that you cannot make an off the shelf product, so pharma companies don't like the idea.

The clinical trials that you need for FDA approval cost millions, so you need to collaborate with pharma to get money. You see the problem?
