While I once made a forum topic here under "Postive Predictions" for Alzheimer's discoveries and breakthroughs, we are missing a sub-heading for any and all advances, discoveries or breakthroughs in other medical diseases, problems or health issues.
So, here's a place for any and all of those that have not only jumpstarted by new science and medical research but by recombinant ideas on drug uses and protocols.
Today it's a wonderful discovery for curing at least one major form of Tuberculosis. TB impacts so many in our third world populations and this particular variation of the disease will have such potential life changing and 90% chance of life saving benefits.
Read about the new use of these three combined drugs--only one approved of the three so far-- but they are working on the approval for the other two.

Michele-b,
Wow!!!!! Was just rereading 2 posts of yours from last year. One from August 2019 and the other from October 2019. How prescient you were in posting these items in regard to medical research and potential breakthroughs. The August post was about a potential cure for one type of TB and more startling was your post of October about a discovery through research w/ mice in antibodies/proteins etc. and it's potential for treating several strains of influenza!!! I've no doubt that the research cont'd on and sincerely hope that they had/have the funding to proceed further. Michele-b, have u heard anymore about this particular research lab? Thank you for posting this and again your gifts are amazing and I'm sure all of us appreciate your sharing them w/ us.
Blessings to you bright spirit. You are reading between the lines and the words that many here have have yet to see or to sense.
There is such great power in the prescience of the gut and when combined with the heart and the lessons and learnings from the combination of all that resonates so deeply with signs and symbols from our own lives and history from a place of putting many puzzle pieces together lays the very groundwork of a the energies of the living science within the spiraling intuitions.
Mine are so intense now that it is visceral and just rereading posts from the past when combined with all that has happened in the past four years has taught me to listen to all that jumps out at me seemingly from nowhere that yelled at me from places of truth.
I sense this as a gift you are developing now. It is a challenging one as I have experienced over many decades.
How amazing to see and experience this now in a simple but deeply connecting spiritually intense whisper from my inner knowing now. So bless you my new friend for your many new comments now. They reached me in ways I can not yet verbalized.
We have a long hard road ahead with so many new discoveries that science as we know it will be turned upside down, "shaken not stirred" and so many, many diseases coming out of nowhere with medical discoveries and new recombinant drugs and theories similar to but far greater than these two simple but complex examples.
I love it when that happens!
Namaste my friend in all of the colors and languages of the heart when combined with the science of the mind.

CRISPR technology can be used to edit genes and revolutionised the scientific world when it was first introduced. CRISPR-Cas9 is likely the most known CRISPR-system and popularly known as the gene scissor.
"We have solved the largest and most complicated CRISPR-Cas complex seen so far. We now understand how this system works on a molecular level," says co-author Guillermo Montoya, who is Professor at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (NNF CPR), UCPH."
It is too big and complex. But in the future, it may still be key to understand the immune response of bacteria and it could have some use in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
To improve students' mental health, study finds, teach them to breathe.
"Researchers at the Yale Child Study Center and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (YCEI) conducted the study, which tested three skill-building training programs on 135 undergraduate subjects for eight weeks (30 hours total), and measured results against those of a non-intervention control group.
They found that a training program called SKY Campus Happiness, developed by the Art of Living Foundation, which relies on a breathing technique called SKY Breath Meditation, yoga postures, social connection, and service activities, was most beneficial.
Following the SKY sessions, students reported improvements in six areas of wellbeing: depression, stress, mental health, mindfulness, positive affect, and social connectedness."

When you're smiling, the whole world really does smile with you -- ScienceDaily
"Groundbreaking research from the University of South Australia confirms that the act of smiling can trick your mind into being more positive, simply by moving your facial muscles.
With the world in crisis amid COVID-19, and alarming rises of anxiety and depression in Australia and around the world, the findings could not be more timely.
The study, published in Experimental Psychology, evaluated the impact of a covert smile on perception of face and body expressions. In both scenarios, a smile was induced by participants holding a pen between their teeth, forcing their facial muscles to replicate the movement of a smile.
The research found that facial muscular activity not only alters the recognition of facial expressions but also body expressions, with both generating more positive emotions.
Lead researcher and human and artificial cognition expert, UniSA's Dr Fernando Marmolejo-Ramos says the finding has important insights for mental health."
