As someone who is at risk for HD and has a parent with the illness, I so appreciate this video and the awareness it brings to all. Thanks for this work.

It can indeed affect younger people. A friend of mine passed away at the age of 41. His son passed at 14. His daughter is 21 and is currently fighting this horrible disease. It is a monster.

Starting at a job tomorrow at a dementia center as a Physical Therapist. This was informative probably beyond what i need but definitely does not hurt when treating people with huntington

You guys have no idea how weird it is when you research a disease that runs in your family and you most likely have it as well and most of the people here are med students instead of people like you 😂 I feel like a rare Pokemon

Thank you for shedding light on Huntington's disease in this video, i'm particularly interested in learning more about the current treatment options and research efforts aimed at finding a cure. If you have any information or resources regarding the treatment of Huntington's disease, please share them with us.

working in a lab doing a project with huntingtons disease and yeast. I wanted to just get some disease back round knowledge and this was truly perfect.

For the first time at my moms funeral I saw how this has affected my cousin’s wife. Cannot believe how much she has debilitated in 4 years. This is so sad, and I don’t know if I’ve seen something this bad.

I have read that Hungtington atrltqcks the stratium in which we do find the dopamine d2 receptors.
Is then the Hfe genes in Mhc and chromosome 1 are associated with the development of this neurodegenerative disease?
Also you mentioned lack of Gaba and Acetylcholine ( Gad 65 and intrinsic factor antibodies are positive or negative ?)

[HHSMCJROTC]

I’m tryna understand more about it since 2 inmates I work around at the local prison have huntingtons. Awful debilitating disease.

[benkidd]

You know it makes me think that if I have HD because my dad had HD. I would hope he gets sent to jail.

Private schools select individuals and introduce illnesses such as Huntingdons and Parkinsons.
Public money is then used for consultant doctors on very high salaries.
As well as this, 50, 000 animals, or 150 per day, on average are killed each day at universities for 'research'.
This exorbitantly high number is to make breeders and suppliers of animals wealthy.
The animals are paid for by the taxpayer and by students.
Military, Mi7 affiliated organisations, such as Cruelty Free International, ensure the industry remains unchanged.
Animal rights groups are military, Mi7, and 'wind up' the public.
This research is meaningless as 'answers' and 'progress' are slowly revealed to the public.
The public are asked for money to support the research through various charities.
It's a very beta, 'dark' and private school way to attack the non privately educated public.
The publics ignorance and indifference makes them even more 'beta'.
That is an erosion of the good 'alpha' fundamental self. They consequently hate themselves more.
It is unacceptable and indicative of our true fascist government.
