Does heriditary health problems have no solutions?

Question

My fathersuffered from cerebral atrophy and had very restricted movements,mostly was bed ridden until his last at 66yrs.We were told that his father too died facing similar problems at 58yrs of age, with limited knowledge of medicine during those days.My elder sister,the eldest of the three of us who is 39yrs of age now has started feeling all the symptoms similar to that faced by my father.She wobbles,cannot walk straight,and falls down which is more like sudden jerks.What troubles us is that her condition should not get worse.She is married to our first cousin from dad's side and we are worried about the health of her two boys aged 19 and 17yrs.Infact we are all worried about the future health conditions of our children.My sister,brother and self have two kids each.To add up to our worries is our uncle,fathers younger brother who is also facing similar health problems.The doctors told my sister that the problem being heriditary,there is no medication.Please help.

Answer 1

Early detection is the answer.
Speak with your doctor about when is a good time to start testing ?

Answer 2

Ultimately, it can be solved, but it involves bio engineering, and everybody says bio engineering is BAD.
This was all driven by the media, who, (just like the government), NEED a "BAD GUY" to stir the public up against. In fact, bio engineering would be able to solve virtually all of the worlds problems. One company that was "closed down" to tremendous applause by the media, was working on "growing" malaria vaccines in bananas. The Malaria vaccine is very hard to store and has a very short shelf life, so it his expensive to get it to remote sites. Growing it in a banana, and giving one to each villager would have been perfect. But it was "BIO ENGINEERING" ergo "BAD" and the press were SO proud of themselves when the company was forced to close after they whipped up hatred against it.
As for genetic problems in humans, they would be comparatively easy to solve, since whatever the problem is, it comes down to cells either doing something they should not do (in which case, the solution is to switch those cells off), or not doing something that they should do, (in which case, they need switching on).
What you need to do is to find out THE TRUTH about Bio Engineering, and then start telling everyone who will listen how GOOD it is.

You see what I mean? "The Magnificent one" answer? "The only way to remove it is through genetic engineering and I don't think you want that." I wonder why she thinks you wouldn't want that? I'll bet she read it in a newspaper!

Answer 3

I don't have a reliable and legit source - just a theory.

I also have been hypoglycemic since birth (hereditary), until 2002, when I switched to diabetes. Some of the symptoms are similar and are the result of high insulin (hyperinsulinemia).

If your doctor is willing to test you for high insulin, you may want to test my possibly wacky theory out.

If you want basic information on hyperinsulinemia, check out www.hufa.org.

Answer 4

She needs to see a Dr but if Other Family Members have it Yes it can be passed on to the next Generation..Good Luck

Answer 5

The only way to remove it is through genetic engineering and I don't think you want that.

Answer 6

Prayer can change all that...really. It did for me. Jesus Saves!
