You said it. Prevention is the key , with Humans and animals. Inflammation is now being seen in the medical field as not just an indication of an existing disease/condition, but as an actual cause of many of them. I'm not a doctor, (nor do I play one on the internet), but see my previous post re the 2004 Time article & links. Detect the inflammation, treat it early, prevent much more serious & costly consequences down the road. Imagine the savings to the overall health-care costs in this country alone! Serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes etc. once they reach advanced stages are rarely curable, IMHO, only treatable.
The major problem with our health-care crisis is the ever rising cost; most peoples paychecks - what there are left of people with paychecks, can't possibly keep up with the expense of insurance, let alone the cost of the treatments themselves.
On a personal note, if I may, my appendix ruptured back in '03 - after 6 days in the hospital, almost dying from the infection spread throughout my system - surgery, drugs, etc. - I was presented with a bill for almost $26,000. You gotta be kidding me? Perhaps the Bio-Harp could have detected the inflammation in the appendix before it burst, saving me from an ordeal I never want to go through again - Sorry, but I get a little inflamed when I think back on it LOL.
I'd love to see a Bio-Harp scan someday as a routine part of any medical or dental exam. Ok, I'll shut up now. thanks for indulging me but I am starting to believe more in the possibilities of this.
