    Stunning.

      substance

      You're discussing the substance of the finding.
      I don't think anybody is discussing the substance of those Calmodulin studies. However, PNUTTRO is posting some very "interesting" scientific hypothesis.

      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.

            I guess I am not your ordinary scientist. I sent you a PM of my credentials even though it will still not garner any respect from you--hence the scripture reference.

              Que?

              PNUTTRO

              Forget everything else.

              Where did you get the idea that each disease has 1 protein involved?

              Do you understand that Calmodulin, Osteopontin and perhaps a dozen other proteins might be involved in Scoliosis?

                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!

                  I think it has been me telling you for months that everything is WAY more complicated than you make it out to be.

                  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.

                    I'm trying to be polite here but it's those kinds of "questionable" theories that turn my radar on. You realize that some people like Ibuprofin and others like Aspirin?

                    In fact, each cancer is unique to every individual.
                    Wouldn'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?

                      You realize that we used aspirin for 50 years before anyone decided that we needed other pain killers. Different biological mechanisms.

                      If a treatment works, a treatment works. We are having discussions about scoliosis treatments because surgery is a very extreme solution to the problem, but it works.

                      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.

                        So for instance if one group of scientists attempted to develop a treatment based on Calmodulin and another attempted to develop a treatment based Osteopontin that would be good right?

                        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.
                        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. If you don't mind I'm going to forward your message to one of the scientists I talk with regularly who is involved in this research.

                        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.

                          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?

                                Isn't one supposed to post research in the research section? I like the idea of people posting and advancing pet theories - just gives up more things to graw on.

                                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.
