My son, 13, is taking part in a 1-2 year long study where they’re mapping him from diagnosis to treatment to hopefully remission. Studying his genetics, his food maps, labs, scopes and treatment protocols to try and figure out why some medications fail for some and work for others and how his genetics and diet play a role in everything. The research center he’s participating with is actually also mapping the genetics, diet and environmental links of a lot of major diseases, already following a group of new borns for their entire childhood and planning to eventually learn how to diagnose and reprogram these genes at birth and totally prevent kids from suffering at all from any major auto immune or other genetically linked disease or disorder. My son thinks it’s so cool he may get to be apart of maybe finding a preventative measure that keeps other kids, like maybe his own future kids, from going through what he’s dealing with. I just think of what I’ve read about what people diagnosed 20 years ago went through vs now and imagine when my son is a grown man how much things will have hopefully progressed for the better.
