"doctors.... may need to drill a hole in the brain"
All for your OWN GOOD, of course (did you just hear a cash register click?)!
First they dump prescription medications in the water supplies and NOW THIS!!!!!
I think I need a whole other label for this warped sickness.
Think MAD SCIENTISTS, folks!
"Seeking a pathway into the brain; The body's defenses against disease also block treatments" by Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Staff | June 22, 2009
With tactics that range from subterfuge to ultrasound beams, scientists are searching for a solution to one of medicine’s most intractable problems: how to get drugs into the brain.
Get the f*** away from me with your pills and potions!
Standing in the way is the blood-brain barrier, a formidable defense system that keeps out pathogens and toxins but also bars many potential therapies from reaching the seat of maladies such as brain cancer or Alzheimer’s disease.
Yes, GOD DESIGNED US RATHER WELL, didn't he, you evil s****?
“The system is supposed to protect us from substances that could be noxious to the brain. Unfortunately, it is also quite efficient in removing various drugs that can actually help in curing certain diseases,’’ said Adam Chodobski, a professor of emergency medicine at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University, who studies the blood-brain barrier....
Yeah, whatever, you poison-pushing monster!
I'll bet POT would HELP CURE a lot of this stuff!!!!
Of course, anything that might actual help you stay alive, this government opposes.
Just ONE MORE LOOTING OPERATION known as the THERAPEUTICS INDISTRY!
The barrier is not a solid wall - it lets in oxygen and nutrients, for example, which brain cells can’t live without. And some harmful microbes and cancer cells can get across, as well as a small fraction of medications. Many drugs can’t pass through, however, meaning that doctors who need to deliver a specific drug to the brain may need to drill a hole in the brain. Several technologies exist, including injections and implantable wafers that secrete chemotherapy, but the invasiveness of the procedures limits the number of applications.
You will excuse me if I go get the gun, right?
You ain't putting any HOLES in MY HEAD because IF YOU TRY you will GET ONE YOURSELF!!!
Patients and doctors alike want safer and easier treatments, and scientists have been trying a number of approaches. A paper this month in the journal Science described the findings of a team of French scientists, who found inspiration in the deadly bacterium that infiltrates the brain to cause meningitis....
Ominous.

Whose lying now? And WHY ($$$$$$$$$$)!!!
Dr. William Pardridge, a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles, who has spent years working on ways to get across the blood-brain barrier, cautions that such an approach disrupts the barrier, which might allow harmful substances to enter.
But SO WHAT? DOUGH to be MADE!
His approach is to create a molecular Trojan horse, which can sneak a drug into the brain by attaching it to a molecule that is normally ferried past the barrier. The company he founded, ArmaGen Technologies, has developed the technology and seen drug effects in animal models of disease, but very little drug crosses into the brain....
Keep your GOD-DAMN DRUGS AWAY FROM ME!
Other attempts to get drugs into the brain have also raised the question of whether it is possible to get enough of the drug across the barrier for it to be useful. At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, researchers are working....
How do you feel about being a guinea pig, ladies?
They EVEN CHARGE YOU MORE for HEALTH CARE!
Robert S. Langer, an institute professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, sees crossing the blood-brain barrier as a big problem with no easy solutions....
Which no doubt means MORE PENSION and ENDOWMENT MONEY to fund this MAD IDEA and MONEY LOSER!
The main obstacle is getting enough of the drug across the barrier, and he thinks a solution may lie at the very beginning of the drug development process.
“I would try to think of ways to build delivery into the drug early on,’’ Langer said.

Into the trash? Or get a job as a cook at a nice, posh restaurant and see how they like being fed drugs.
