So, here's another study talking about how mice are cured of PD. I see these all the time. Why can we cure mice, but not humans? Is our brain too different? Is the cure used on mice too invasive to do on humans? Is this an exaggerated claim, that can't be made on humans?
How they can study and understand man by observing lab mices is a mystery to me. Perhaps it would be better to go down to some sick clinic and meet some of them, working hard to understand what neurodegenerative diseases are and the problems they cause for people.
Mice make excellent patients , they follow instruction, they dont complain, always take their Niacin and only live about three years which is not a long time to develop some of the more difficult symptoms. That and the researchers do not know Parkinsons from the Measles. Mice dont get Parkinsons , but they do get a thing that resembles Parkinsons if you inject some stuff into their heads and good news is that they can cure that. It does leave the mice a little confused, but then aren't we all.
Mice should be fed a combination of fresh fruits and vegetables and good quality mouse/rat pellets or cubes. The quantity should be appropriate to the pellets being fed and the age, size and life stage of your mice. Ensure these pellets have a protein content of at least 16% & fat content of 4-5% [1].Mar 28, 2022
What should I feed my mice? – RSPCA Knowledgebase (just joking)
My theory is approach to medicine and treatment methods and goals used by those funding and researching the cures. A lot of the cures are using whole food herbs by Indian, Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese who have been using herbal treatments for thousands of years in a holistic way. Western medicine tends more to focus on a symptom and address it with a single isolated component from an herb. In the research, much higher therapeutic doses are given than what most of us can afford or even access. The doctors that I have access to don’t research anything or just say it’s not covered. Most have no clue when it comes to any research. Ugh…
the system obviously is rewarding this type of research. I mean the government grants, the journals that allow academics to be promoted based on their publications. The cost to do a study is important on whether a study gets done. The people on this forum, many realize this model is not helpful.
I read a post on this forum about an alternative mouse model that had a genetic variant that caused the disease. It was supposed to be more like the human disease. It is more expensive and researchers prefer to use a mouse model they trained with.
