RE: Does the Battle of the Sexes Begin in the Womb?

Hey @agmoore,

wonderful article again. And again so fruity & vivid. I really appreciate this.

--> resteem!!!

The topic you are talking about is indeed a huge problem I think. Numerous defects or health problems are related to problems which are hard to spot. In your case, someone would make a mere gene sequencing with the conclusion that everything should work. Only with further characterizations, the real problem could be found. In many cases, this wouldn't be the case. The consequence: A life in pain! In my company, we try to offer various approaches: gene sequencing, the reaction of the cells, metabolic tests, cytokine panels... Nevertheless, for many people, it is not affordable. We need a health system which promotes cutting-edge tools in a broad range. This, in turn, could reduce the costs for the public health system. Nonetheless, I expect it will take between 10 and 30 years until we achieve a full acceptance of these innovations. Until then: Good luck to everyone.

Regards,

Chapper

I am responding now and upvoting later (I'm a spendthrift--always out of VP), but I am so delighted with your response that I can't hold back. I have to admit that the science pieces of this were written partly with you as an imagined audience. It helps me to write when I image "real" people reading my material. So I'm very happy you felt engaged.
Yes, the potential for health remedies is great. I also am very interested in the social implications--the so-called influence of "environmental insults". The burden of social and economic deficits, on the young especially, perhaps can be more accurately quantified. And also the toll that pollution exacts. This might influence, for the better, discussions about social policy.
Thanks so much for stopping by. A real pleasure to read your comment. I did try to make the blog "fruity" :))
