Here are a few recent advances that need to discussed by like minded people in this forum
1.Genelink (GNLK) a publicly traded bio science company is preparing the launch (August 2008) of GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition System. Affordable nutrition guided buy YOUR DNA!

2. Biotech company Thomsen Bioscience is currently negotiating with several foreign governments on sales of a detection system for biodefence. Thomsen Bioscience has developed a Biological Warfare Agent Detection Chip (BWAC), a portable device which can perform fully automated and unattended detection of biological warfare agents or airborne infectious diseases such as SARS. Lars Thomsen, managing director of Thomsen Bioscience, says he expects to make the first major government agreement in the near future.

3. A team of scientists has figured out how to transfer special genes to regenerate damaged cells in the inner ear, a technique that researchers say could one day lead to the restoration of hearing for both children born deaf and the elderly who are hard-of-hearing.

All of these sound promising. I have heard about eating based on body type, etc. I guess this is similar.

The regeneration of damaged cells could have major impacts on the world. I assume scientist will figure out how to do similar things with other parts of the body - maybe eyes. Can you imagine someone having their hearing or site returned? Wow!

I do get a little put out reading about "breakthoughs" only to never hear about the breakthrough again. I know research takes time but it often seems that scientists are overly optimistic.
