Liz Parrish's therapies discussion - Page 2 - Telomeres - LONGECITY

So, the biggest issue with bioviva was funding the procedure with reportedly cost millions of dollars. Yet, less than a year later we have this DIY Crispr kit available for 12 hundred dollars. Am I reading this right? If so, we can finally move past n=1 in this TERT therapy experiment.

I do find it suspicious but firstly they're not using CRISPR but rather a virus. You can buy a gene therapy to lower the one cholesterol transporter and that costs a million dollars. Gene therapy even when used by hospitals and in clinical trials is expensive as far as I know.
How difficult is it to use CRISPR, do you need to have a degree in genetics/biology or be trained? If people can do their own genetic treatments that would be better I think, but I have a hunch that it's not so easy to do. Imagine a bunch of 13 year olds following Internet tutorials for using this technology on themselves.
Those things arent mutually exclusive my friend. Using a viral vector does not make this non-Crispr. What characterizers Crispr isnt the delivery method but rather the replacement or insertion of code within the DNA strands performed by the Cas9 enzime.

And yes what makes Crispr truly revolutionary and potentially dangerous is the fact that it can be done at home by amateurs. Check this out:

That's awesome! Fuck the FDA.

I predict that the government will have as much success regulating Crispr as they did with internet file sharing in the early 2000s.

The point is that Liz Parrish does not use CRISPR, as she has said. It's also patented..
