You're discussing the substance of the finding.
1 disease = 1 protein
No more, no less.
When a "scientist" posts a hypothesis like that my radar goes up.

It's close enough for me - as long as we're still talking science of some kind, it doesn't enter into the "comment" count. At least, in the way I'm tallying.

Dingo,
It's been said before what P does, you just don't ever seem to listen. You're going to feel pretty foolish when (if) it dawns on you.
And I'm still laughing at Sharon's question about how *you're* credentialed to review someone else's credentials!

Where did you get the idea that each disease has 1 protein involved?
You understand that Calmodulin, Osteopontin and perhaps dozens of other proteins might be involved in Scoliosis?
I didn't say one disease=one protein, that was your interpretation of my response. I was simply stating that if a treatment works, why is there a need to develop a new one. You cited cancer and heart disease. These are NOT single protein problems, these are generic names for a variety of health problems. In fact, each cancer is unique to every individual.
. . .but forget everything else that doesn't fit into your idea of the world, please.

Originally posted by Dingo View PostWouldn't that be true for all disease including Scoliosis? You understand that having more than one way to fight Scoliosis would be a good thing?
Other, less invasive, treatments have variable results. If a new treatment comes out that has a very high success rate with less risk than surgery, it will revolutionize scoliosis treatment and other treatments will fall away.

calmodulin / osteopontin
PNUTTRO
You realize that we used aspirin for 50 years before anyone decided that we needed other pain killers. Different biological mechanisms.
If a new treatment comes out that has a very high success rate with less risk than surgery, it will revolutionize scoliosis treatment and other treatments will fall away.
Judging by your statements I'm not sure if you are a scientist or not. But regardless of that you are an idiot. I'm going to put you on my ignore list. I encourage you to put me on your ignore list as well.Last edited by Dingo; 12-14-2009, 04:49 PM.

Wow, you make a good point. I don't think any of the researchers working to find a pharmeceutical treatment for Scoliosis had thought of that.

You haven't noticed that I have been ignoring you?
I hope everyone is adequately entertained.

Look.
If I might.
Just one thing.
Dingo, what are you trying to accomplish with these posts in the research section?
What are they contributing?Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

Question: What do you call alternative medicine that works?
Answer: Medicine

I actually found the discussion interesting (although I'm not following with any level of comprehension) until the whole thing kind of blew up. Which was interesting too, in a kind of unavoidable freeway pile up kind of way.
