I’ve been getting interested in HAM, but it seems really intimidating to get started actually doing stuff and working towards a license. Any resources that you’d recommend for an absolute beginner?

I would love to have a copy of this assignment! That reveal must have been a real gutpunch. Something that may have actually stuck with most students.

That’s a great point! You have a wonderful opportunity here to follow up with these redditors and ask for additional evidence to collaborate their experiences. If it turns out that you are correct, then you could flip the whole medical establishment on its head! Especially if you document your methodology so that other people can come in behind you to verify your results. Be the change you want to see in the world and go from reading research into being the researcher!

Super cool research! However, it says that the genetic marker is only in 3.5% of patients, so it may be better to say that they found “a” cause rather than “the” cause. But that’s still ok because that could eventually translate to cures or at least enhanced treatment for many thousands of people!
