hehe yeah I know what you mean. When I started folding a year or so ago I read up on everything to optimize the clients and I watched what it folded and how long it took. Now I just let it do its thing

98% of teenagers have tried or take drugs. If you are in this 2%and you
aren't a freaking stupid pothead, put this in your sig.but what ive noticed though, is what we have been doing for the past 200 years or so, weve been feeding people chemicals and such to see if it helps them at all. But in the end, either the disease will mutate so it will become more leathal or it will be immune to all the chemicals. I know this for a fact, cause i remeber there were outbreaks of small pox and all in sertain areas of brazill and such not long ago, and we havnt had smallpox in a long time. Also people used ginger back in the early 1900's to help cure the common cold, and it worked, but doesnt work anymore. Disease have been mutating and growing even more dangerous in the past 20-40 years. And even if we find a cure now, another disease will take its place and who knows, that could be the disease that kills off the human race. But its always best to delay the inevitable. So im folding.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

well...it will get to the point that if you know how to manipulate genes and all the basic building blocks of a particular disease, it suddenly becomes a lot easier to determine a cure. Of course, I'm not a biochemist, so I don't know for sure, but at least it makes sense in that framework. There are other folding projects that help map the human genome, for example, to help discover cures for cancer and such. So it depends on the applications of the stuff we are doing. We may not need to use chemicals in the future, who knows.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

[/QUOTE]I knew that, I'm just saying there is already a cure for many different types of cancer. Of course, if this has been taken into effect mainstream then "they" would be out of business.
Others like AIDS, Arthritis, Diabetes etc also have a cure for those as well.

aren't a freaking stupid pothead, put this in your sig.acutaly they dont have cures, we just have things that hold em back and help the person live longer than that of who doesnt get this medicine. I know that for a fact cause my grandfather has diabetes and he only has something like 1-2 years left to live, and there is no cure, and its getting worse. Ive personaly seen him take the chemicals we use and such, and hes been taking it alot cause they told him too, and now some of the chemicals he takes doesnt work effectivly anymore, almost as if the diabetes is now growing. But im folding for NCIX.com- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I will repeat. There is already a solution to cure many types of cancer.
A diabetes cure has already been discovered a long time ago too. Same with AIDS...
The government takes your rights.
The doctors take your money.
The medicine takes your life.
A virus takes blameThats what AIDS is all about above

With cancer there is no mutation to become immune to the chemicals. The problem is that the chemo...which is just poison that affects dividing cells and thus cancer more than the rest of the body since it divides rapidly...just isn't all that effective.
The only way ginger would help to cure the common cold is if it somehow bolstered the body's natural immune system, which I doubt, in which case, any percieved good is all in your head. There is no defense against the common cold. It is a virus and even our most advanced medicines can only slow the progress of viruses (such as HIV) and even then, those medications don't work with every virus.
Right now, the biggest problem with diseases becoming resistant to medications are bacteria. The problems are these:
1.) Doctors prescribe them at the drop of a hat
2.) Patients don't take them for the full amount of time prescribed
3.) Farmers 'enhance' their livestock by putting anti-biotics in their feed
These three things expose the bacteria to anti-biotics, and as such, it kills the ones which are not resistant, leaving the ones that are to go on and infect new hosts.
Since cancer is unable to go from one host to another, chemically resistant mutations do not persist and go on to infect others. If, for some reason, someone had cancer that mutated to become resistant, that person is the only one who is affected. Comprende?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
