Not to mention helping us to stay informed. Without the web, it probably would have been months (if ever) before we heard about new research like this. Thanks goodness I got sick in the 21st century!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-65802719198099221822011-10-21T08:17:30.043-04:002011-10-21T08:17:30.043-04:00We are all hoping for a magic bullet, Elaine!!We are all hoping for a magic bullet, Elaine!!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-62816797339651578162011-10-21T07:49:13.227-04:002011-10-21T07:49:13.227-04:00I hope this is really something.

I, being a young sufferer, really feel for those who lived in a time where there was no medication or research to ease the pain. I think that the internet definitely plays a part in how more diseases are being taken seriously and researched more vigorously.Michellehttp://www.axshealthexchange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-66142285609081481302011-10-20T21:05:49.092-04:002011-10-20T21:05:49.092-04:00I saw this too and am really interested in it!!! ...I saw this too and am really interested in it!!!

It's interesting that they are making headway both in the areas of cause and treatment. Now, if the two can meet in the middle, we'd get all our answers!Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-13032303659637096912011-10-20T10:20:27.448-04:002011-10-20T10:20:27.448-04:00Interesting news on the cancer drug.....glad someo...Interesting news on the cancer drug.....glad someone somewhere is researching!
