I think everyone can agree that preventing the cause would be ideal - if there was a way that effectively worked in all people. Maybe one way day that will be discovered
Until then, as with so many diseases, incremental progress is being made - these developments are a significant (scientifically speaking) step forward. They won't work for everyone, but clearly they will help a lot of people
I don't think anyone can realistically believe that the process of taking a drug through development and onto the market is a 'quick fix'
I meant a quick fix in relation to the effort that the person puts into healing themselves. There is nothing easier then just taking a pill compared to making diet and lifestyle changes which require habit changes.
The problem with western medicine is that it treats everyone the same and assumes that there is one cause for getting a certain illness which most definitely is false. There is no one way to a cure for a migraine but their is the way that works for you as a individual.
If you habitually just cover up symptoms you will keep going towards chronic disease which is the norm in our society today because we always want to just cover up symptoms.
Ah sorry I misunderstood you.
I certainly agree that each individual is responsible for their own health! It’s just a shame that nobody has told them....
And I agree it is true that Western medicine, or pharmaceuticals, has been looking for medicines to be used on all patients with a specific condition, irrespective of next level genotype/phenotype.
The good news, maybe, is that this approach does seem to be evolving - but no doubt there is a way to go
Cheers
