\u201cResearchers say they\u2019re well on the way to curing thousands of diseases by tinkering with human genes. But is that true? Or is their effort really part of a long-range agenda to keep experimenting in the dark, through grotesque trial and error, to alter humans and make them into a new species?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(The Underground, Jon Rappoport)<\/p>\n With the onrush of new gene-editing techniques, the medical research establishment is beating an old drum: they will cure many human diseases by making genetic changes.<\/p>\n First of all, the new editing techniques have unknown consequences. A simple snip of a gene can bring on ripples in the patient\u2019s overall genetic structure. This fact spells danger.<\/p>\n Second, and here is the old drum: there are a number of diseases caused by a problem with a single gene\u2014one gene, one disease. Therefore, a precise edit of the offending gene will cure the disease.<\/p>\n But is this one-gene one-disease hypothesis actually true?<\/p>\n If so, we should already have seen these cures. But we haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not talking about the occasional claim of a single cure in a single patient. I\u2019m talking about curing a specific disease across the board in many, many patients.<\/p>\n It hasn\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n Here is a very interesting quote from the book,\u00a0\u201cUnderstanding Genetics: A District of Columbia Guide for Patients and Health Professionals,\u201d<\/em><\/a>\u00a0published by the District of Columbia Department of Health:<\/p>\n \u201cSome of the more common single-gene disorders include cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis, Tay-Sachs, and sickle cell anemia\u2026However, despite advancements in the understanding of genetic etiology and improved diagnostic capabilities, no treatments are available to prevent disease onset or slow disease progression for a number of these disorders.\u201d<\/p>\n Is it \u201ca number of these disorders,\u201d or \u201call these disorders?\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see the evidence that single-gene therapy has cured ANY disease across the board.<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t forthcoming.<\/p>\n And since it isn\u2019t, the hypothesis that there are single-gene disorders is at best unproven. Speculative.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say that for Disease X, researchers have found that, in every case, there is a particular gene that is malfunctioning. The researchers claim, \u201cWell, that\u2019s it, we\u2019ve found the cause of X.\u201d But have they? HOW DO THEY KNOW THERE AREN\u2019T OTHER ESSENTIAL CAUSATIVE FACTORS INVOLVED?<\/p>\n There is a simple test. Correct the malfunctioning gene and watch thousands of cures for X.<\/p>\n Until that occurs, the hypothesis is up in the air. It\u2019s interesting, it\u2019s suggestive, but it isn\u2019t verified. Not by a long shot.<\/p>\n
