oliverwrites: Most cleric go scot-free in those cases. We are in Nigeria. Prosecution of such a case would consume so much and would a Christian rather drag the church of Christ? |

mejetov422:He said: “What we do is to remove the entire blood from the body through one hand arm and put in fresh blood from the other arm. When we do this total red cell exchange, we remove the blood and it is replaced. The machine is such that it doesn’t cause much discomfort, as it is taking away blood from one side and replacing it immediately from the other side. It can also be done for children without harm. We have successfully performed the first one for a 27-year-old patient who is a friend of the department: he is a Master’s degree students in one of the universities and we feel he is also very important in pioneering this feat. He had severe crisis; we removed almost five litres of blood from him and replaced them an equivalent amount. We did not find any cure. |

uniquetechng: The crude truth is that those descendants from African parents can only thrive in system designed, maintained and monitored by white people. Bring them to Africa and see them misbehave. If not, black researchers in South Africa, Brazil, UK, France, America and Nigerians should have led the discovery of an effective solution to sickle cell anaemia. After all, na black people e affect pass. 1 Like |

Inspirer1: While that is true, it has to follow standard scientific research procedures such that someone in Peru, Croatia and India can replicate the same process and achieve the same result. When that is done, you go ahead to testing for the efficacy of the treatment through clinical trials. When that's completed, you seek for approval and patent protection. When that's done, you begin the commercialisation of your treatments and make money. It's not a tumbo-tumbo process. Odikwa due process! |

stasius: To be clear though, cancer isn't a single disease, but a result of many metabolic degeneracy. As for gene editing curing diseases, yes. That's the reason the price tag of cures derived from gene editing will be very high because it's a cure - no further disease to treat again. Once cured, it closes an avenue to develop any sort of treatment. Goldman Sachs once questioned the future of pharmaceutical firms if there are more cures than treatments. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/04/11/goldman-asks-is-curing-patients-a-sustainable-business-model.html |

GanagiBitrus: mejetov422 has taken the time to remind us of what we achieved for ourselves on the treatment of sickle cell disease..... under plenty of adverse conditions. Can we get a thumbs up for our achievement?... or your thumbs up is reserved for people in that part of the world?.. thumbs up for using us from this part of the world as "Guinea pigs"? We read the headlines and shout "good development" when this is all about experimenting on a new medical approach to treating diseases. 100K people are affected by this disease .... Blacks ... are they more interested in the health of Blacks than their own? Or as I believe they chose us to fine tune their technology? Gene therapy is meddling with nature .... trying to modify and control how our bodies work naturally. There must be a fall out. The FDA is controlled by the pharmaceutical giants ... the reason why experimental drugs and therapies are quickly approved without knowing their effectiveness or long term side effects. Instead of testing on animals... they now go straight to humans. How can this theraphy ever be good when the patient must first go through high dosage chemotherapy ? ... when normal chemotherapy is a big health problem? ... and the known side effects so far are just so wonderful? Black people need to wake up and see the wolves in sheep's clothing. Bill Gates .... oh how he was sooo caring about the health of poor Africans..... do we still say that? .. some do.

So the USA has finally found a cure to a health problem that affects mainly blacks and Africans due to their perpetual ignorance, stark illiteracy, and sometimes, sheer arrogance and wickedness. Like malaria, typhoid, and cholera, a cure has once again been found for an African disease. Meanwhile, those who pride themselves as black giants and African patriarchs do nothing but LOOT, LOOT, and reLOOT the patrimony and future of their societies. God bless the USA. May all Nigerian looters, both past and present, end in the innermost part of hell. Insha Allah. 3 Likes |

GanagiBitrus: What conspiracy theories? ... pushing the medical frontiers using your people? ... why not use animals as always was the case? ... or their own people? Did you even read about what we have achieved? ... that they are now trying to? ... with serious side effects? Shouldn't they be the ones trying to emulate us? |

mejetov422:Nigeria did rubbish, sickle cell is genetics, that is it comes as a malformation of a specific gene, even if you remove all the blood and replace with another it will still affect the new blood added so that professor research is laughable. 1 Like |
