Comment on Would we be able to use the measles virus to reset the immune systems of people with autoimmune disorders like MS or rheumatoid arthritis?

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
