Thank you for the link about precision medicine Davos panel discussion. It confirms what some of us have been saying about being patient and doing it right. I caught the part about focusing on the super responders because it fits with what Anavex is doing in its clinical trial.

It caught my attention too due to my own experience in a clinical trail. I developed cancer presumed to be caused by agent orange exposure from my Marine Corps service in Vietnam in the 1960s. I entered a gene therapy clinical trial in the late 1990s. Ever since then, I revisit the doctors that did that clinical trail. I noticed that they have always paid particular attention to me recalling a quite severe immune reaction I had to the treatment. At one point, I had chills, high fever, profuse sweating, and shook so much that I could hardly stay in the bed. My wife thought I was about to die, but I heard one of the doctors say “That’s good, that’s good. It’s working”, and apparently it did work as I am here today and in excellent shape overall. Today, they have modified the treatment I received and testing applying it to other types of cancer. The trial was interrupted due to one person dying in a another gene therapy trial around the same time I completed my trial. Gene therapy trials were suspended at that time, but fortunately are up and running today.
