Kudzu Fire

We need to cure all human, plant, and animal diseases, sickness, illnesses and ailments in our life time. And the way we should go about it is to screen every naturally occurring substance against every known disease. The first things we ought to screen for use as medicine, fuel, food or fiber are exactly the things we find most useless. Things like fire ants and kudzu that we have too much of and which most people would love to get rid of. Find away to make money off of fire ants and the fire ant problem will be solved.

We need to cure the top 100 killers of mankind. When we are through with that we need to cure the next top 100. It would be best find cures that can be consumed in our food. Imagine if the cure for cancer was a change in diet. Imagine if malaria and tuberculosis could be prevented by sprinkling a salt-like mineral on our food.

It is not enough of course to run every milkweed and thistle through a mass spectrometer hoping to find a cure for bunions. We must keep a detailed database about the characteristics of plant and it's extract. The structure of the molecules that compose the milky sap for instance might prove useful down the road. There is an entire science where in desirable chemical compounds can be designed mathematically. If we can add to to the library the molecular structures possessed by plants and minerals in nature we might also advance the science of designing drugs by mixing and matching existing stable molecular structures.

In phase two of the process we screen the genomes of every disease causing entity. In fact, I would assert that mapping the human genome might be less important than mapping the genome of every known disease caring virus, anti-virus, bacteria and cancer cell. Mapping the human genome might give you insight into genetic diseases which we can't cure. Mapping the disease  causers could give you direct insight into the physical and chemical weaknesses of the diseases. That's where our first database that is composed of chemical compounds and physical structures comes in. Some times good science is done by good bookkeeping.
