Hear me out, measles can cause immune system amnesia. People with autoimmune disorders have immune systems that want to kill them. What if we use the immune system amnesia property of measles to reset the immune system of people suffering with autoimmune disorders? Maybe we could do some crispr on the measles virus to make it not as dangerous or something like that first though.
Problem with this and just about anything related to the human body (and a million other subjects) is that the answer usually is: it’s not that simple.
The human body is extremely complicated with countless different proteins and system each performing multiple tasks all mixed throughput your body and with all of our knowledge we probably still only know a fraction of what there is to know.
Typically if someone comes up with “this one simple trick”, the answer is “it’s not that simple” and if someone sells you a simple solution (zinc! Ivermectin!) it’s bullshit
In this particular case, (and I’m extremely much spitballing here, it’s all bullshit that I’m saying) maybe you could use a virus like measles, use CRISPR to change it in such a way that it will deposit some of its DNA in your immune system to detect and kill the the immune cells that are attacking your insulin generating cells… Again, I’m full of shit here so don’t take this with a grain of salt, don’t take it at all because ITS NOT THST SIMPLE
I have had SO many “good” ideas as a kid. I’ll learn a fact and go “wow I cannot believe it is this easy to manipulate the human body” and thank my stars I had enough sense to take “Its more complicated than that, but I can’t explain the very real consequences” as an answer. Its always at least something with bodies. Honestly, its nuts that anything makes us better at all
