The Lab Report

1. [Immunology] - The main project coming online is the Bird Flu Immunity Development Project. The goal here is, before the Bird Flu pandemic arrives in North America, to develop means to improve survivable and add immunity from future threats. Current efforts, in single patients studies have been successful in increasing the bodies immunity to serious flu's (SARS type flu's). Current results have seen a reduction in days of infection from 14 days to 4, with only 1 day of a mild fever. The goal, now, is to duplicate this in a large population of patients. This currently applies to flu (in general, SARS, and Hantavirus).
   
2. [Neurology] - Of the two schools of thought, the softwired brain, is the least popular, but it and only it holds the possibility of cures for neurological disorders. In our many years of research into tissue regeneration, the elusive goal of brain tissue regeneration has been seen- even though it was just a glimpse. Over the last 10 plus years, hints that brain tissue regeneration has shown itself, although very briefly. The first key being explored is the reprogramming capacity of the nervous system. Many disorders including cardiac and gi disorders are centered in the nervous system. Reprogramming the system can alleviate or eliminate the problem. This has led to insights that reprogramming my be possible with Parkinson's and mild cases MS.
   
3. [GI Science] - In continuing work in gi reprogramming, it became obvious that there were multiple triggers to gi hypersensitivity. One trigger, temperature, reveals itself in an old camping gag. Dunking a sleeping camper's hand in a warm water will cause him to urinate. This is an example of a temperature trigger causing bladder activity. This temperature trigger is a factor of many hypersensitivity problems, including incontinence problems. Here, the temperature sensitivity of both the bladder and kidney can become overly sensitive - causing frequent (and often uncontrollable) urination and defecation.
   
4. [Osteo Science] - The tissue regeneration project has had an effect here too. Many athletes and individuals (particularly the overweight) have knee problems requiring surgery. The goal here was to learn to use the bodies regenerative abilities to resolve knee and osteo problems. Todate, it has been possible to resolve knee problems without surgery, joint stiffness, and to eliminate a hairline fracture in a tooth.
