Rethinking the Approach to Curing Major Diseases
Summary:
Hopes for cures for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, or diabetes shouldn't rest solely on academia, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), or the biotech/pharmaceutical industry. Despite substantial investment in research, progress remains limited. However, there may be a different path forward.
Article Body:
Hoping for a cure for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, or diabetes? Relying on academia, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), or the biotech/pharmaceutical industry might not be the best strategy. Despite the vast sums spent on research, progress toward cures is minimal.
Back in 1971, President Nixon declared a "war on cancer," proposing a vigorous campaign for a cure. Since then, the U.S. has invested approximately $200 billion, adjusted for inflation, producing 1.56 million cancer-related papers. Yet, the cure remains elusive. Why is this the case?
Dr. Almog highlights the key issue in his paper, "Drug Industry in Depression": "Without an understanding of the basic science/biology of a disease, no new drugs can emerge." Despite billions spent by the NIH on basic science, essential knowledge about diseases often appears fragmented and disconnected. This is akin to the parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant, where six blind men each perceive only part of the creature, leading to incomplete understandings.
To connect these fragmented insights, a cohesive theory is crucial. Hanan Polansky, in his book "Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease," provides an alternative perspective. He identifies disruptions that contribute to various chronic diseases and explains the sequence of events leading from these disruptions to clinical effects.
The NIH's shortcomings have led to fewer new drugs being introduced. Professor Taylor, in his paper, "Fewer New Drugs from the Pharmaceutical Industry," highlights a global issue: "Pharmaceutical research expenditure exceeds $45 billion annually, yet the number of new drugs is declining." This reflects a productivity crisis in drug discovery.
While research funding increases, the output of new drugs decreases, revealing a critical gap. The problem stems from a reductionist approach within the NIH that fails to address the bigger picture.
Dr. Hanan Polansky offers a promising alternative. To find cures for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, or diabetes, we must seriously consider his innovative approach.
