The only thing I found is this ? What is your thought on it? take a look at how progression has been made in the treatment of childhood cancers http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/childhoodcancer/survival/

One thing I should add I have little to no milk in my diet. And not enough fruit and vegetables if that is any help. There are doctors here and people who have a PHD in biology.

You mean cut backs in the mid 90's or late 90's? In Canada ? I see no conspiracy to keep western medicine over orthodox medicine.If any thing it is doctors pushing for a private sector has they make more money in the private sector .

The the rich paying the government to close medical schools so the cost of healthcare goes up?So the move to privatization?

Spelling , I think you mean crumbly if so no they are not just sensitive to water and touch.After shower they start peeling by by base and edges.They scratch easy .

There is no such word has crubby . What do you mean by malnutrition ? Lacking protein or vitamins?

I think you are thinking of DNA computers .If so they long ways off. But they are working on 3D transistors to try to keep up with Moore's law .

Do you think there is a problem with my diet? What I'm lacking?

You may want to talk about Moore's law coming to end ? Moore's law every 18 month processors double in speed and more and more transistors can fit on the IC .The transistors get smaller and smaller .But around 2004 processor clock speed hit brick wall of 3.0 GHz with out overheating the the solution to problem dual core!! Not sure how long we can put money into dual core and keep up with Moore's law .

Well part of problem of middle class disappearing in the US and only the have and have nots is lack of jobs in the US and low paying jobs. Not sure about Canada if they are doing better than the US.But the middle class have and has been disappearing in the US to the have and have nots . Not sure what they are going to do about it but it is hard to get jobs and jobs that pay good. They say the US is going into more service sector economy.

It is not so much what is unattractive or not but was is more of a taboo.Some countries sex is big taboo some not and some very liberal. Look at US 60 years ago you would think you where in other country . Yet some (((Female circumcision removes the very sensitive part of the sex organ ))) in some countries . And smoking was not a taboo to it was linked to cancer.Where smoking pot was grouped in as a hard drug to about 10 to 15 years ago it was than called a soft drug.

So you saying the main problem is doctors are getting too much pay? Or the government is not building enough medical schools?

I was reading here or on other group that they came up with drug that may work to fight HIV and other infectious diseases. This still in research and development.

For some reason my toenails are brittle and scratch easy for lack of medical terminology.That means when I cut my toenails I have to be very very very careful not to scratch my toenail. When having a shower and coming out of the shower it starts to peel by the base or edges and takes a long time to heel and some times does not heel and I just have to live with it for new toenail to grow . And if I touch it or bump it not hard it scratches easy and peels easy.You have to treat your toenails as if it is a glass ornament. It slow to heel and very sensitive to water or touch.About 6 months ago I bumped one of my toenails very hard and it was black ,blue and bruised with blood !! It still is but is taking long time grow out . I thought it takes 12 months to grow a new toenail? It is ony one third the way !! And this was 6 months ago!! My toenails are slow to heel and grow. And get scratched easy and cannot put water on it or have a shower. This was not the case 6 years ago my toenails was much stronger and could take much more of a beating. I hear you can take alot about a persons health by looking at their toenails . Note I do have other major health problems that start close that same time.

I cannot find the thread 'Medical Stagnation' in your post history list or in Medical Science> section of the group I cannot find it.The admin must of move it or delete the thread. none a search using the search box key words Medical Stagnation and still cannot find it.

The 60's and 70's and little in 80'a was years of space race.The money going into NASA and DOD was unreal the late 80's was year of cut backs and now the space program is dead. The people perception of having moon base by 1990 and by 2002 having mars base and by 2015 people living on mars and small star trek enterprise by 2020 and big star trek enterprise by 2050 is on a linear growth in space technology. But unlike computers and electrons that are linear growth the space technology is not.The rocket propulsion system does not allow it it is fixed technology.The space capsule smaller than you room with 3 people to go to moon on rocket bigger than high rise apartment is dead through way has not change.Meaning it takes big apartment just to take up 3 people in small space capsule smaller than you room . Where people perception is going to mars in big 20 story apartment and the engine room no bigger than the basement of apartment and no through away of any thing. In the real world chemical rockets does not work this way and not some thing that is going get more fuel efficient where we can take up more and more payload and less and less rocket just to take up the payload . The moon trip by 2015 or 2020 before it got cut was by critics was called apollo on steroids do to not much inprovement in rockets and mostly the interior design and electrons that shine. The rockets of 2011 or rocket of 1959 is not that much better.And chemical rockets is not some thing that will get more fuel efficient where we can take up more and more payload and less and less rocket . Ion or plasma rocket can only be used in space and cannot be used to take up payload same with space sail.The fusion rocket or antimatter rocket is beyond today's level of technology if it even works .And space elevator and laser propulsion is still 50 or 100 years out before we can test it see if it work or not.And with energy so costly the laser propulsion may not be that much better than chemical rockets. I thing in order for scfi to be real like what you see in movies you need ion lifters or anti gravity or levitation or magnetic monopoles or other exotic space propulsion system to make what you see in movies or what UFO can do real or if none the above is real or work than what see in movies and scfi will always be scfi and UFO will always be a spirit and not a alien . Has chemical rockets ,Ion rocket,plasma rocket ,fission or fusion rockets do not do this .

The medical progress is coming to brick wall. The medical progress is slowing down and yes medical breakthroughs is slowing down .Yes the public does expects medical breakthroughs to occur all the time and medical progress but it is slowing down very fast.One can just look at cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure. The problem with medicine is there is two approaches to problem drugs or surgery.And for the past 100 years drugs ware flying out like flies but are slowing down now and there is nothing surgery can do for cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure. When it comes to electronics that stop working or going bad we pop out the bad part and pop in the good part.This cannot be done with human body we cannot pop out the bad part and pop in the good part or take soldering iron .This means drugs are the only option. But drugs work well for chemicals or going after living things not cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure.The drugs do not have intelligent to tell cells what to do or to heal. And surgery cannot heal or tell cells what to do.So the two approaches to problem of drugs or surgery is coming to brick wall of what it can do. And dotors do not heal they use the two approaches to problem of drugs or surgery and this is coming to brick wall of what it can do.. Well some dotors hope in 50 or 100 years from now we will tell genes when to turn off or when to turn on and there will be a three approaches to problem of drugs or surgery or telling of when to turn on or off the genes. But yes other than that medical progress is slowing down and yes medical breakthroughs is slowing down very fat . Look at cancer,autoimmune diseases and organ failure what a joke it is no breakthroughs here.

Try to go to med school you will see how hard it is to get in and how much it cost and your brain will explode after going to school do to information over load in one day. The fact there is doctors is is amazing .

Can you elaborate on this. What I'm posting that is bad. Also read this thread why no cure for cancer than post back. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/51782-cure-for-cancer/page__st__20

sorry what are you trying say here. What does golf vacations and yacht sales have to with it? That money does not make its way to inprove science or understanding of the human body. You mean they them self want that really bad. What? What do you mean? Also note I think it was in the late 90's when Canada started to do cut backs and started to have long wait times in ER.

This not news it was going for some time. Some people are immune to HIV most are not this has puzzled doctors , And I read too that bone marrow transplant is ony cure now.

A device helps a man paralyzed from the waist down make an 'unprecedented' recovery, taking steps on a treadmill and regaining other key functions. The treatment could potentially allow 10% to 15% of people with spinal cord injuries to regain some use of their legs.

There is a difference can we go to moon or Mars in 10 to 15 years or do we have the money.Has of now the space program is dead. Has for space mining or space colony that is scfi to the cost of going in space goes down alot and I mean alot. And no one knows how to bring the space cost down not even on paper in theoretical science class.The only theoretical theorings floating around is space elevator ,laser propulsion ,fission or fusion.

Yes you can read about the problem here http://www.nationalpost.com/news/Suspend+health+save+system+study/4632483/story.html And http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1R2GGLL_enCA334&biw=1007&bih=506&q=Los%20angeles%20fire%20station%20map&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw What do you think is going to happen?

That does not read well.I think what It should be what Medical progress in cancer treatment in the past 10 to 15 years if any ? Any one have stats to show?This should clear up this confusing thread.
