We’ve Solved Many Medical Mysteries. Where Are the Cures? | Saloni Dattani | TED
Science communicator Saloni Dattani traces the quiet revolution of medical innovation that has slashed death rates from conditions like heart disease and malaria — and reveals the broken incentives that have delayed other lifesaving treatments for decades. “Diseases are not a fact of life,” she says. “They’re problems that we can solve.” (Recorded at TED2026…

There are cures for most if not all diseases, except for greed.

@ansel_alethe French pharmaceutical industry is not greedy? That’s hard to believe.

@richard5830 No, I think it was a reference of the France revolution where they killed all the nobility: that’s the resolution implied :’)

@Fen@FenrirShadow wouldn’t make sense to compare the French Revolution in this context. The reply was more likely based on a reference to the traditionalist French culture.

There are certainly drugs already that fixes anxiety and some can even prevent wars by reducing narcissism and disgust in leaders. There is probably even a drug that makes you less greedy too. But they still won’t take it or fund it because they’re intrinsically evil and want the world to be in constant conflict rather than resolution. “Pure Evil” always fascinates me

Job security. I retired from an R-1 university, and I remember one researcher who was trying to get a grant for alzheimer’s research saying if he got it, that would be 20 years of job security. The problem is we don’t coordinate all the research on a particular problem with specific goals in mind. We have islands of research that serve themselves and are competitive with others instead of working together. The Chinese get it, and it’s why they are starting to pull ahead in many areas.

As a biomedical scientist, I agree with you. Unfortunately, everything is driven by capitalism and people will therefore naturally favour competition over collaboration.

My sister is only 31 years old and is facing kidney stone health challenges, along with diabetes and a skin condition. Her doctors have told us that her two kidney has been totally damaged. She is understandably frightened, and I am deeply heartbroken. I find myself crying often and struggling with overwhelming feelings of fear, uncertainty, and helplessness. While I continue to hold on to hope, faith, and prayer, this journey has been incredibly difficult for both of us. Right now, I am seeking understanding, support, and strength as we navigate this challenging time together.

I’m so sorry to hear what you and your sister are going through. Fifteen months ago, I was facing a similar situation and was told that I had only two months to live. During that difficult time, a friend introduced me to a great healer who supported me on my journey. I can’t fully explain how it happened, but my health improved significantly, and I am grateful to still be here today. Everyone’s situation is different, but I wanted to share my experience in the hope that the healer can cure different kinds of sickness and diseases which offers some hope and encouragement.
