Contemplating leukaemia

leukaemia - 32 - a :
Strange how mutations can change healthy cells into cancer cells while, once cancer exists, no mutations come from cancer's rapid cell division that can damage cancer itself.
leukaemia - 32 - b :
When proto-oncogenes, by means of mutation, turn into oncogenes the cell division process speed up, and with that, the risk of new mutations that will damage the cancer mutation.
leukaemia - 32 - c :
If cancer finds its birth in mutations (caused by cell division) one would expect that cancer will cure itself since rapid cell division increases the chance of cancer stopping mutation.
leukaemia - 32 - d :
The biggest threat to a cancer cell is a mutation in the mutation that causes the cell to become a cancer cell.
leukaemia - 32 - e :
Being able to cause a mutation in oncogenes will seize a cancer cell being a cancer cell: fight fire with fire.
leukaemia - 32 - f :
The best cure for cancer will be, as with so many things, fixing the root cause, i.e. the mutation that creates oncogenes.
leukaemia - 32 - g :
A cancer cell is still a cell: it is bound to live by rules that apply to cells.
leukaemia - 32 - h :
In the world of cells, a mutation (causing a disease) is one of the worst things that can happen. Cells fear such mutations the same way people fear their house being on fire.
leukaemia - 32 - i :
Tools are usually made to do one job. For proto-oncogenes and tumour-suppressor genes it is the same: the first needs to start a process, the latter needs to stop it. (page 209, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5).
leukaemia - 32 - j :
Tools tools tools. The world of cells and genes is all about tooling and the purpose they are built for. Wanting to solve a disease, start thinking tools.
leukaemia - 32 - k :
In the world of cells, tools make things happen. And, like in our world, making those tools requires the same craftsmanship (if not more).
leukaemia - 32 - l :
Tools to start the cell division process (proto-oncogenes) and tools to stop the cell division process (tumour-suppressor genes), that's basically it when it comes down to cancer.
leukaemia - 32 - m :
Diseases are the most difficult problems to solve because they originate from DNA (the core from which our whole being originates).
leukaemia - 32 - n :
The only solution to cure a disease is to repair the fault in the gene from which the disease originates: gene therapy.
leukaemia - 32 - o :
At the end of the day DNA, and the machinery surrounding it, is just a system: it's coded to do what it's supposed to do. The machinery will execute what the code says.
leukaemia - 32 - p :
Knowing what a healthy human genome looks like, and knowing where which gene is located, should make it easy to identify which base of which gene needs to be replaced.
leukaemia - 32 - q :
We do not have to find out on our own: the genes of a healthy person will show us what healthy genes look like. Being able to replace bases in a gene is the difficult part.
leukaemia - 32 - r :
Curing a person from cancer is, in theory, doable: we know which genes go wrong and what healthy genes need to look like.
leukaemia - 32 - s :
If you want to colour a lake, located miles from your position, simply pore a coloured substance in the nearby river: the waterway machinery will do the rest.
leukaemia - 32 - t :
Curing cancer by means of gene therapy lies in using existing DNA repair machinery to do what you want.
leukaemia - 32 - u :
The tools for repairing DNA are already present in DNA machinery of cells (no need to reinvent the wheel), you only have to understand their working principle.
leukaemia - 32 - v :
The difficulty with mutations is that a mutation contains the same building blocks as healthy non-mutated DNA (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine): it's the sequencing that counts.
leukaemia - 32 - w :
DNA machinery which examines a complete gene and then make repair corrections on individual bases requires a different tool than examining a gene base by base. Not true.
leukaemia - 32 - x :
Somewhere in the DNA machinery lies a mechanism that can determine right sequencing from wrong sequencing. (at least that is how we look at DNA, base by base).
leukaemia - 32 - y :
Perhaps looking at DNA sequencing is not the right way to affect a protein: wanting to affect the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one must work on the tower as a whole and not on brick-level.
leukaemia - 32 - z :
DNA bases can be looked at like tent pegs: only when using multiple tent pegs, and positioning them correctly, will the proper shape (protein) of the tent be able to form.

leukaemia - 31 - a :
Helicase, gyrase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase and telomerase are quite recognisable for any craftsman: a toolset (page 106/107, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5).
leukaemia - 31 - b :
If Evolution had set up her workshop in a shed, then helicase, gyrase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase and telomerase would all be tools proudly hanging on the wall.
leukaemia - 31 - c :
Using tools to work on DNA is an indication that Intelligent Design is applied.
leukaemia - 31 - d :
Tools are the outcome of an engineering state of mind, it always has been.
leukaemia - 31 - e :
If you want something to be done, other than sleeping, you end up having the need for a tool. Without tools all things come to a standstill.
leukaemia - 31 - f :
Helicase holds it open, gyrase will do its part, then primase will come in, etc: it's a work description that could be hanging in a technical school's practise classroom.
leukaemia - 31 - g :
Intelligent Design, or not, Evolution having the need for tools to work on DNA indicates that Evolution is bound to use engineering to create.
leukaemia - 31 - h :
The only way out for Evolution, regarding leukaemia, is a physical one. Meaning, Evolution is bound to tools and work descriptions to "repair" the "leukaemia fault".
leukaemia - 31 - i :
The thing with the body's defence mechanism is that it is built to locate and fight threats coming from the outside. Constructing tools to work on "the outside" is the definition of a tool.
leukaemia - 31 - j :
Leukaemia finds its origin in the building blocks of the body's defence mechanism. As long as there are metal tools, there is always the danger of rusting.
leukaemia - 31 - k :
For a system to check its own building blocks for errors is something that is hard to solve, even for Evolution, since it is an engineering deadlock. A screwdriver can't repair itself.
leukaemia - 31 - l :
Molecules (building blocks of DNA technology) functioning as a high-tech system. If it wasn't for DNA technology, no one could have imagined molecules were able to work so precise.
leukaemia - 31 - m :
It is hard to believe that the cosmic ecosystem (the Universe) was created to provide Evolution with planet Earth for her to create Life.
leukaemia - 31 - n :
Cosmic events do not require the presence of life to function and certainly not the presence of humanity.
leukaemia - 31 - o :
Planets, stars and galaxies live in an ecosystem called the Universe. And, in that ecosystem there is a continuous process of birth and death like in any other ecosystem.
leukaemia - 31 - p :
Planets, stars and galaxies undergo their birth and death gracefully, spiritually.
leukaemia - 31 - q :
Humanity are the bacteria in the ecosystem called the Universe.
leukaemia - 31 - r :
As it turns out, one of the fundamental rules in this universe is that one needs tools to create, even if your name is Evolution. And that, in itself, tells a lot.
leukaemia - 31 - s :
He who can operate the tools Evolution uses to work on DNA, can use DNA technology to influence an ecosystem.
leukaemia - 31 - t :
If one does not have full insight in DNA technology, one will never be able to foresee the consequences of modifying DNA.
leukaemia - 31 - u :
Everything in an ecosystem is so extremely tuned that even changing colour, by means of DNA modification, will cause a ripple throughout the ecosystem.
leukaemia - 31 - v :
DNA modification by humanity causes ripples throughout the ecosystem that travel beyond a horizon from whereon humanity can't see anymore.
leukaemia - 31 - w :
Diversity is key to sustainability since the result of diversity is: an ecosystem.
leukaemia - 31 - x :
Diversity does to an ecosystem what a sparkplug does to an engine: it sets things in motion.
leukaemia - 31 - y :
Handling complexity (DNA) requires a diverse toolset, apparently: you can cut just about any tree with a saw but without proper tools you will not be able to create a figurine.
leukaemia - 31 - z :
Creating the build philosophy of helicase, gyrase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase and telomerase would have been a similar big project for Evolution as the build philosophy of DNA was.

leukaemia - 30 - a :
Every living thing on this planet, that is not a link in its ecosystem's chain, can only maintain itself when it respects the ecosystem.
leukaemia - 30 - b :
Without the ecosystem of the dinosaur no coal would have been formed to power humanity's industrial revolution.
leukaemia - 30 - c :
The principle of DNA, hatching and sustaining itself, relies on the presence of an ecosystem: without food the operational state of DNA technology comes to a standstill.
leukaemia - 30 - d :
Jumpstarting an ecosystem is possible if the DNA of adjacent life-forms can hatch: one life-from requires the other. "Adjacent" because a shark cannot feed on bees.
leukaemia - 30 - e :
Humanity is not needed to maintain the ecosystem on Earth. Moreover, without humanity Earth's ecosystem would have been able to run in its optimum state.
leukaemia - 30 - f :
Humanity acts as a "cancer" in Earth's ecosystem, especially the last two-hundred to three-hundred years.
leukaemia - 30 - g :
There is no need for any life-form in Earth's ecosystem for humanity to be present.
leukaemia - 30 - h :
The ability of the human body to take in pollution (even in its DNA) is the mechanism to heal Earth's ecosystem from humanity.
leukaemia - 30 - i :
An ecosystem getting freed from pollution means an ecosystem getting rid of humanity.
leukaemia - 30 - j :
Humanity is a hazardous substance in any ecosystem.
leukaemia - 30 - k :
When a species grows out of control, eventually their sheer numbers will reduce it because of food shortage. That same mechanism is applied to humanity in addition to its ability to exterminate one another.
leukaemia - 30 - l :
Evolution's mechanism to control humanity wrecking the planet is affecting humanity with disturbances in weather and ocean processes (changes at the core of Earth's ecosystem).
leukaemia - 30 - m :
Any ecosystem anywhere in the Universe that lacks the presence of humanity, is a healthy one.
leukaemia - 30 - n :
Sadly, it is only in the last twenty to twenty-five years that humanity is beginning to understand it cannot live without the Earth's ecosystem.
leukaemia - 30 - o :
Twelve billion people, living eco-friendly, are not a problem for Earth's ecosystem, the five-hundred million that live like there is no tomorrow that are.
leukaemia - 30 - p :
Leukaemia resides in the ecosystem of the bone marrow. Affect the bone marrow's ecosystem so leukaemia no longer feels at home.
leukaemia - 30 - q :
Leukaemia behaves like an underwater geyser: it pumps itself in the environment of the ocean, but it originates from somewhere else.
leukaemia - 30 - r :
Leukaemia is like humanity: it forces itself in an ecosystem but has no part in contributing to that same ecosystem, it only feeds from it.
leukaemia - 30 - s :
Leukaemia is like the Kaiju from Pacific Rim: it enters a healthy world where its sole purpose is to cause havoc.
leukaemia - 30 - t :
Without an ecosystem (food) it is not doable to keep DNA processes running. Such is the limitation of DNA technology.
leukaemia - 30 - u :
Keeping DNA processes running is like a maintaining a campfire: if you do not nurture it, it will die-out.
leukaemia - 30 - v :
DNA processes are like preparing, starting and maintaining a campfire, but, without a healthy ecosystem there will be no wood to start with in the first place.
leukaemia - 30 - w :
Humanity being dependent on the ecosystem is a logical outcome of Evolution's engineering process: first a fully operational ecosystem, and only then intelligent life.
leukaemia - 30 - x :
The question is why the dependency of humanity on the ecosystem was accepted. It can only be that it was not considered a flaw in humanity's design.
leukaemia - 30 - y :
Cell division (Life) is based on the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, etc, meaning: no ecosystem, no exchange, no Life (since there is no fuel to power it).
leukaemia - 30 - z :
God and Evolution did not foresee humanity creating a force able to bring down an ecosystem: the pursuit of money.

leukaemia - 29 - a :
What is weird is that the enzymes used for replicating DNA work so precisely and so fast, as if they are controlled. (page 106, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5)
leukaemia - 29 - b :
The enzymes used for DNA replication work so precisely and so fast that it is hard to find any other process in nature where molecules work as if they have a mind.
leukaemia - 29 - c :
The enzymes used for DNA replication are basically molecules, and for molecules to behave like industrial robots is unnatural.
leukaemia - 29 - d :
Evolution creating industrial revolution like processes using only atoms and molecules for DNA replication: well, if Evolution says it can be done, it can be done.
leukaemia - 29 - e :
The way Evolution created the DNA replication process to work bares the same signature as the workflow of factory workers during the industrial revolution.
leukaemia - 29 - f :
Evolution building enzymes (tools) to replicate DNA (a mechanical process) shows that Evolution built from an artisan's point of view.
leukaemia - 29 - g :
Chemical reactions working so orderly that it allows for DNA replication is something any God would find an impressive result.
leukaemia - 29 - h :
Chemical reactions normally behave like cows waiting to enter the pasture: once the gate is lifted they happily stampede into the pasture, i.e. in an uncontrolled fashion.
leukaemia - 29 - i :
Nowhere in nature (other than in Life) will you find chemical reactions where the molecules wait decently in line for their turn to participate in a chemical process.
leukaemia - 29 - j :
Orchestrated chemistry, that is what the DNA replication process is.
leukaemia - 29 - k :
An orchestra in which the instruments can play themselves, such is the nature of the enzymes working in the DNA replication process.
leukaemia - 29 - l :
Evolution's goal was to find a technique to store information. DNA technology is what she came up with, from thereon the processes surrounding DNA followed automatically.
leukaemia - 29 - m :
Using DNA as an information carrier is one thing, knowing how to read it is another.
leukaemia - 29 - n :
The technique used to store DNA information was designed first, the technique how to read DNA came second.
leukaemia - 29 - o :
In a language words define everything that can be defined, and sentences and grammar define how to use those words and how to extract meaning out of them. Storing and reading information using a language is no different than storing and reading DNA information.
leukaemia - 29 - p :
Books on a shelf can be categorised based on writer or based on genre, it depends on the owner: the position of the books does not alter its information, only its location.
leukaemia - 29 - q :
Evolution must have given it some serious thought on where to put which genes (which chromosome and where in that chromosome). It cannot be that this is not the case.
leukaemia - 29 - r :
Evolution works like Rembrandt: the best of what is possible is constantly being implemented, every time, all the time.
leukaemia - 29 - s :
You don't just go from atoms and molecules to a fully operational ecosystem, it just does not happen: having skill and talent does not automatically imply being successful.
leukaemia - 29 - t :
The Universe has a certain rhythm to it, haste not being one of them. For Evolution to create something that is sustainable, she gave her creations a compatible rhythm.
leukaemia - 29 - u :
The compatibility of Life with the Universe is a necessity that cannot have been overlooked by Evolution, if it was all her creations would have needed artificial support.
leukaemia - 29 - v :
You can't just go and create any car, you need to know the roads it will drive upon to come up with a design that is sustainable (compatible).
leukaemia - 29 - w :
Leukaemia does not have to worry about compatibility since it finds its origin in masterly tuned processes within the human body, such is the nature of any disease.
leukaemia - 29 - x :
Atoms and molecules are part of the Universe, not creations of Evolution. Inherited compatibility is what Evolution opted for.
leukaemia - 29 - y :
Leukaemia is a process that is as natural in occurrence as a process only to be found around black holes: every process in the Universe has its time and place to show itself.
leukaemia - 29 - z :
Leukaemia stands on a strong base, as a flag on top of a mountain.

leukaemia - 28 - a :
Stop being amazed about how DNA and all the processes around it works. Start with understanding that Evolution found that it could be done, and that she made it work.
leukaemia - 28 - b :
Of course, if Evolution can come up with such a high-tech like DNA, for sure, everything that is built around DNA bares that same (high-tech) signature.
leukaemia - 28 - c :
Without the adjacent process (surrounding DNA), and everything further down the line, missing the same high-tech as DNA, they would not be compatible with DNA technology.
leukaemia - 28 - d :
Stem cells, white and red blood cells, platelets, etc are only but a logical outcome of having DNA technology at the core of Life. Start thinking like Evolution.
leukaemia - 28 - e :
What is worrying is that diseases like leukaemia are but a logical outcome of working with DNA technology. More worrying is the unlimited potential for diseases (due to DNA).
leukaemia - 28 - f :
Creating Life, like Evolution did, is the highest form of creative thinking in the Universe: creating a universe one uses the laws of Nature, bio-engineering (creating life) though is a niche market in any universe.
leukaemia - 28 - g :
Copying and modifying DNA is quite an achievement but it will always stand in the shadow of Evolution's creations.
leukaemia - 28 - h :
Apple's iPhone may be surpassed by phones from other manufactures, but it will always be regarded as iconic, the one that made the transition going from nothing to something.
leukaemia - 28 - i :
A conscious mind makes one question its own existence, i.e., those who were created by DNA. Those who designed DNA, i.e. Evolution, reside on the level of God. They know.
leukaemia - 28 - j :
Evolution created DNA's system philosophy. He who can do that can also solve the DNA bug that causes leukaemia, but not bugs introduced by smoking (not foreseen).
leukaemia - 28 - k :
Leukaemia, caused by system design, should be solvable for Evolution. It cannot be that such a creator suddenly throws her hands up in the air, gives up and walks away.
leukaemia - 28 - l :
Solving DNA bugs is not a new practise for Evolution since most bugs show up in the early design stages, whether that be easily solvable bugs or more difficult ones.
leukaemia - 28 - m :
It cannot be that our current DNA is not equipped with some sort of area where the four bases are coded to combat DNA bugs. Without even Evolution could not have built DNA.
leukaemia - 28 - n :
Since DNA is only constructed out of four nucleotides means that planning and creating future DNA, to combat viruses e.g., is also done by using those building blocks.
leukaemia - 28 - o :
Besides the nucleus of a cell there is no place other where DNA is located. That means it can only be in the nucleus where planning and creating future DNA can take place.
leukaemia - 28 - p :
The wide distribution of DNA throughout a person's body is strange since it makes implementing changes undoable. No doubt Evolution chose the best option.
leukaemia - 28 - q :
The wide distribution of DNA throughout the body suggests that the only time a modification can be implemented is during conception, when a sperm cell and an egg cell merge.
leukaemia - 28 - r :
The wide distribution of DNA in the body whether that is in a newly born or an elderly person, is the operational state of DNA: a state where no modifications will be made.
leukaemia - 28 - s :
When things break down (on the operational side) the body cannot respond since the operational state of DNA is a decentralised one: spread out over millions of cells.
leukaemia - 28 - t :
When there is no centralised place in the body to modify DNA and upload (inject)improvements, it would mean that all cells (in the whole body) need to be refreshed overnight.
leukaemia - 28 - u :
Once Evolution decided to upgrade, let's say, a skin cell, she also needed to migrate that upgrade to a sperm cell (or egg cell) so the upgrade would be made permanent.
leukaemia - 28 - v :
Evolution must work from a centralised position, a control room, to upload its modifications instead of chasing every one of the many millions of cells in our body.
leukaemia - 28 - w :
Most cells in the body are merely production cells: production cells do what they are programmed to do. DNA in such cells is merely there to facilitate the goal of such cells.
leukaemia - 28 - x :
Production oriented cells are like regular bees in beehive: only the queen runs the show, every other bee has a function (a job) to fulfil, but not the queen.
leukaemia - 28 - y :
Evolution only putting the full DNA package in sperm and egg cells since those cells, because these cells build a life-form, would have made more sense. Apparently not so.
leukaemia - 28 - z :
Equipping almost every cell with the full DNA package is one of those engineering decisions taken (by Evolution) while standing on a crossroad.

leukaemia - 27 - a :
Screwing around with DNA is like taking your dad's car out for a spin: it is just a matter of time before you crash.
leukaemia - 27 - b :
Even if you would respect DNA technology the best you can it would still be a tricky business to modify DNA.
leukaemia - 27 - c :
Being able to come up with the idea of DNA is not the same as being able to modify it: being able to drive a car lies far from having the ability to design a car.
leukaemia - 27 - d :
There is more to gain from DNA than Evolution has done so far, one might say. That may be, but unused potential (for whatever reason) does not equal incompetence by Evolution.
leukaemia - 27 - e :
DNA is like a batch of magic bricks: if you know which buttons to push they will build you a mansion, instead of a standard home.
leukaemia - 27 - f :
Evolution also modifies DNA: once she had created DNA technology she started to alter it (within the framework of DNA technology) to create the diverse ecosystem of Earth.
leukaemia - 27 - g :
Altering genes to create a super intelligent human race, you will find that they will be caught in a struggle coping with life at a much earlier age and in a more intense way.
leukaemia - 27 - h :
Altering DNA, no matter how legit or how badly needed, it will always result in a coin: and every coin has a flip side (no matter how valuable that coin might be).
leukaemia - 27 - i :
A newly created super intelligent human race (with a sustainable mindset) will label many people in power (nowadays) as incompetent, as a threat to civilisation.
leukaemia - 27 - j :
Screwing around in Windows can ruin any computer. The complexity of DNA (compared to Windows) is so far off that the problems that might occur can't even be imagined.
leukaemia - 27 - k :
Screwing around with DNA: where there were no diseases before, there are now.
leukaemia - 27 - l :
Screwing around with DNA: If you have a holy belief in Life being created by Evolution, you can't possibly be free a fear that Evolution's debugging of DNA could be undone.
leukaemia - 27 - m :
DNA is such a densely packed and powerful build technique that the chance of striking gold, by altering DNA, is small.
leukaemia - 27 - n :
AI is considered the fourth revolution. Screwing around in DNA might introduce the fifth revolution: downfall (if not physically, it will be mentally, and worst, ethically).
leukaemia - 27 - o :
Two hundred types of cancer (without humanity interfering). Now, by altering DNA, the remaining one hundred other cell types will also gain the potential of causing cancer.
leukaemia - 27 - p :
The complexity of diseases might rise to such a level that trying to find a cure for them might not even be undertaken anymore, but rather, that person is sent away (to die).
leukaemia - 27 - q :
It is not hard to understand that diseases find their basis in our current DNA state. Modifying DNA means that diseases (might) inherit that modification.
leukaemia - 27 - r :
Screwing around in DNA is like putting your spade randomly in the ground: you will always stir the ground or cut through a few worms (causing damage).
leukaemia - 27 - s :
Everything within DNA technology has a purpose, that is how Evolution has designed it to be. She did not leave any margin for humanity to experiment with.
leukaemia - 27 - t :
The only margin within our DNA is meant for, and created by, Evolution herself: DNA technology is meant to create and sustain Life and not for capitalist or socialist use.
leukaemia - 27 - u :
Seeing DNA modification as a great opportunity is sustainable if the modifications are applied on someone else his family.
leukaemia - 27 - v :
The Third Reich had six or seven million individuals, participants some might say, to experiment on. As stated before, if the participants are outside your group all is good.
leukaemia - 27 - w :
Screwing around in DNA may lead to benign tumours transforming easily in to malignant tumours. (page 204, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5)
leukaemia - 27 - x :
Even Evolution herself will be cautious in making changes (mutations) to DNA, especially when life-forms are already up and running: making changes in a live system is tricky.
leukaemia - 27 - y :
Hopefully Evolution drew a clear line between the DNA responsible for building organs and those building cosmetic phenotypes: so we know which DNA to touch and which not.
leukaemia - 27 - z :
Perfect evolutionary build was already achieved long before the T-Rex made its entry. To Evolution the difference between a T-Rex and a human is a phenotype, like hair colour.

leukaemia - 26 - a :
Two hundred types of cancer. Is it even possible to create more types had we the ability to do so. cancer research uk, what is cancer.
leukaemia - 26 - b :
Cells in the human body can turn into cancer, or perhaps better said, it is only certain types of processes in a cell from which cancer can be formed.
leukaemia - 26 - c :
It is not strange to assume that cancer, just like a seed, will only hatch when certain conditions have been met.
leukaemia - 26 - d :
When designing cancer, one must tune the cancer according the processes and tissue found within the human body: the human body can't be changed to fit the cancer, you must adjust the cancer to fit the human body.
leukaemia - 26 - e :
Since everybody's DNA is slightly different from one another, also cancer, for it to work properly, must be slightly adjusted for it to be successful.
leukaemia - 26 - f :
Everybody's DNA is slightly different from one another, which means that cancer must have a certain type of flexibility to adjust itself and flourish within each person.
leukaemia - 26 - g :
Within the samurai spirit to kill was never considered a joyful exercise (seriousness, sadness and respect), most likely the same goes for cancer.
leukaemia - 26 - h :
Seeing how well integrated cancer is with all the processes in the human body, cancer is hardly to be considered an alien thing but rather an intimate acquaintance.
leukaemia - 26 - i :
Cancer is something of our own being, it is confined to the way we are build.
leukaemia - 26 - j :
Cancer is so well adapted to our core processes because it originates from those same core processes.
leukaemia - 26 - k :
Two hundred types of cancer: the same trick applied two hundred times.
leukaemia - 26 - l :
Two hundred types of cancer are a bit like cell phone numbers: change one digit and you will be calling a completely different person than was intended.
leukaemia - 26 - m :
The evolution of cancer: it is never said that cancer is not to enhance itself by means of evolving over time.
leukaemia - 26 - n :
The process of evolution is meant to survive, and so, to constantly adapt. Never in the process of evolution was killing yourself a goal, also not for cancer itself.
leukaemia - 26 - o :
Two hundred types of cancer, originating from the pool of three hundred types of different cells in the human body: that can only come about from the evolution of cancer.
leukaemia - 26 - p :
It takes a certain effort for two hundred types of cancer to come out of a pool of three hundred types of cells. (page 206, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5).
leukaemia - 26 - q :
Two hundred types of cancer: if it would have been theoretically possible for more to exist, more than two hundred types of cancer would have been present today.
leukaemia - 26 - r :
The number of two hundred cancers being limited by the absence of mitosis in the reaming hundred or so cell types.
leukaemia - 26 - s :
Two hundred types of cancer (out of three hundred different types of cells) means that the technology for mitosis is infected with a persistent DNA bug.
leukaemia - 26 - t :
Two hundred types of cancer: the potential (seed) for cancer in all those two hundred different types of cells have hatched.
leukaemia - 26 - u :
Two hundred types of cancer: that is a bit weird since it means that in two hundred different cell types the same genes (proto-oncogenes and tumour repressor genes) have gone through the same mutation. What are the odds for that to happen.
leukaemia - 26 - v :
To achieve all two hundred cells, that are receptive to becoming cancer cells, to transform into cancer would be via a virus (a program, a piece of code: a guaranteed result).
leukaemia - 26 - w :
The mutation (DNA code) which turns a healthy cell into a cancer cell has inherited the will to endure in life: the mutation knows which DNA modifications to make.
leukaemia - 26 - x :
Two hundred types of cancer: when has it ever been that having diversity was not a good thing to have.
leukaemia - 26 - y :
Two hundred types of cancer and all seem to take their time to grow while in theory (by tweaking the mutation) those two hundred types of cancer can kill us in one week, and yet most of the cancers did not chose to go for that option.
leukaemia - 26 - z :
Two hundred types of cancer viewed from the field of spirituality: two hundred specialised tools to drastically push for the human soul to alter its course (?).

leukaemia - 25 - a :
Evolution set out to design autonomous bio-systems: after completion the human body needs to be able to sustain itself.
leukaemia - 25 - b :
Once a car leaves the factory it must be able to survive the bumpy roads it will drive upon for the rest of its lifetime.
leukaemia - 25 - c :
A car can go to a garage to get serviced and have parts replaced. The human body can't go to a garage, but then, the human body was never engineered to do so.
leukaemia - 25 - d :
The engineering of a car is based on parts being serviced and replaced in a garage. The engineering of Evolution is entirely based on the absence of service.
leukaemia - 25 - e :
The development of a car never stops, its engineers are constantly working on improving it. Maybe Evolution has also found a way to do the same, i.e., continuous engineering.
leukaemia - 25 - f :
Sharks being serviced by fish in a coral reef somehow does not feel the same as the service a car needs to keep it drivable.
leukaemia - 25 - g :
A car does not need an ecosystem to get by, the human body does.
leukaemia - 25 - h :
The only restriction Evolution has when it comes down to creating life-forms is that they need to be part an ecosystem (sustain themselves and contribute).
leukaemia - 25 - i :
Evolution designed the ecosystem as being circular, which makes sense because any ecosystem must maintain itself, i.e. there is no help from outside the ecosystem.
leukaemia - 25 - j :
A car is not designed to be part of an ecosystem. A car's path in life is a linear one: it does not add to Earth's ecosystem, it only takes.
leukaemia - 25 - k :
There is no mechanism to prevent the number of cars growing out of control, like cancer. In an ecosystem there are control mechanisms to halt the growth of a population.
leukaemia - 25 - l :
There is no equivalent for leukaemia when considering cars. Well, rust may be one of them, or dried-out seals perhaps.
leukaemia - 25 - m :
There's no chemotherapy equivalent for cars: the human body can cope with the tough push from chemotherapy, a car will immediately halt when engine management is off by a bit.
leukaemia - 25 - n :
The human body only being able to rely on its own is like Bear Grills being out in the wild (with no camera crew): he can only rely on his skills and flexibility to survive.
leukaemia - 25 - o :
Leukaemia is a structural failure: it lingers without getting noticed. Structural failures to a car, that go unnoticed, are rare to find if not any.
leukaemia - 25 - p :
A structural failure in an airliner can go unnoticed for quite some time, i.e. until it makes its dreadful presence known.
leukaemia - 25 - q :
The build quality of Evolution today (May 26, 2019) is as high-tech as it was in the era of the dinosaurs, and most likely, also long before that period.
leukaemia - 25 - r :
The ability of the human body to maintain itself is something that modern technology is helping us to understand, and it leaves us mesmerised (jealous perhaps).
leukaemia - 25 - s :
Getting to understand a system does not equal its time of conception: discovering America (a great achievement) does not equal America's birth, nor its growth.
leukaemia - 25 - t :
It cannot be said with certainty that Evolution was allowed a testing ground to get DNA and cell technology (Life) up and running, meaning, before she unleashed Life on Earth.
leukaemia - 25 - u :
It's not hard to imagine that in the early days of DNA and cell technology cancer must have been all over the place. It's even harder to imagine that it had not been the case.
leukaemia - 25 - v :
Not getting it right the first time is part of any engineering process: mistakes will tell you what needs to be improve, finding out how to improve is your job.
leukaemia - 25 - w :
Trying to understand the build quality of a system one must be able to recognise quality. What quality is and which quality we allow for others to have differs among people.
leukaemia - 25 - x :
Evolution designed autonomous systems (life-forms): she provided all species with the build quality for which she is known (like Rembrandt: only the best will do).
leukaemia - 25 - y :
For Evolution to be able to direct the evolution of a species she needs to monitor each autonomous body within that species (to implement the general change required).
leukaemia - 25 - z :
The evolution of a species: the DNA of a majority within that species need to undergo the same mutation, or, the mutation is given dominance and implemented in one member.

leukaemia - 24 - a :
A snowy owl can locate sound produced by their prey in deep snow (radar technology)... Solving leukaemia should not be too much of a problem.
leukaemia - 24 - b :
Evolution learned about the presence of sound waves, the characteristics of the sound wave produced by prey, and that it could be used to locate it in deep snow.
leukaemia - 24 - c :
Compared to Evolution's engineering the engineering of people is at a beginner's level.
leukaemia - 24 - d :
Where Evolution designed for sustainability and truth, people engineer for their needs and racial views.
leukaemia - 24 - e :
A drone with a gun that can distinguish between different skin colours provides a feeling of safety for a certain type of human, and for others a way to get through life.
leukaemia - 24 - f :
If Evolution was bound (only allowed) to use whatever she could find in the Universe to build Life, she must have resided on a place where she could study sound waves.
leukaemia - 24 - g :
Technically speaking, Evolution did not break the rule (only use what you can find in the Universe) when building the snowy owl since sound is a natural phenomenon.
leukaemia - 24 - h :
Humans are not left out of the high-tech build of Evolution: she equipped humans with a powerful brain. In one way the brain is one of her highest gifts to give.
leukaemia - 24 - i :
The more high-tech a brain is, in other words the more intelligent a species is, the higher the mental suffering can be.
leukaemia - 24 - j :
Considering species with a lesser brain trash is a wrong way to go: it is the sum of its parts, each species as a whole, that shows Evolution's artwork.
leukaemia - 24 - k :
Evolution's knew that a single life-form will not survive for one day without the presence of an ecosystem. It just cannot be done when basing Life on DNA and cells.
leukaemia - 24 - l :
Evolution knew that for an ecosystem to run smoothly some life-forms needed to be equipped with prey detecting capabilities other than the ability to dig for prey using claws.
leukaemia - 24 - m :
Evolution not equipping the snowy owl with a radar to locate prey under the snow. Well, why not. There is no reason for Evolution to put restrictions on herself.
leukaemia - 24 - n :
If it can be done, it can be done: that is Evolution's engineering motto.
leukaemia - 24 - o :
Had Evolution not used high-tech to create the mesmerising capabilities of many life-forms, it would never have been possible to create a diverse ecosystem on Earth.
leukaemia - 24 - p :
Evolution putting constraints on herself is like Rembrandt telling himself not to improve on his paintings. It's just not going to happen.
leukaemia - 24 - q :
If a brush and paint technically can create a mesmerising twinkling in a person's eye, you can be sure of it that Rembrandt will find it, master it and apply it. Period.
leukaemia - 24 - r :
An ecosystem is a delicate thing. It's like cooking: overdo one or two ingredients and the whole dish can be thrown away.
leukaemia - 24 - s :
If Evolution would not have opted to implement mesmerising capabilities in the flora and fauna, the ecosystem on Earth would never have worked.
leukaemia - 24 - t :
Like a cigarette lighter that can only create sparks but not a flame, such is the prospect of an ecosystem that lacks the implementation of high-tech in its flora and fauna.
leukaemia - 24 - u :
An ecosystem is the embodiment of the high-tech that can be built with what is present in the Universe.
leukaemia - 24 - v :
You can be sure of it that if it can be done (built), Evolution has done it already.
leukaemia - 24 - w :
There is no more to equip the snowy owl with, its design is finished, i.e. its capabilities are perfectly balanced in accordance to its prey and its environment.
leukaemia - 24 - x :
Creating an ecosystem is all about making choices, i.e. which high-tech goes where.
leukaemia - 24 - y :
An ecosystem is a closed system: once a life-form has disappeared from the scene, it will not be put back by Evolution. No Harry Potter magic to undo things, and no Ctrl+z.
leukaemia - 24 - z :
Maintaining Evolution's ecosystem is like managing Bill Gates's money: you can consume it all within a few years, or, you can manage it to last for generations to come.

leukaemia - 23 - a :
Philosophical debate about system design, that is what lies, solely, at the base of DNA.
leukaemia - 23 - b :
Prior to Life there only existed philosophical debate on why and how to create it.
leukaemia - 23 - c :
Prior to the iPhone only its philosophy existed: the thoughts of one man, Steven Paul Jobs, on what technology should look like and how it should be operated.
leukaemia - 23 - d :
Without redoing the debate that created Life, and without understanding it, cancer cannot be resolved properly.
leukaemia - 23 - e :
As life-forms are the result of cells and DNA, cells and DNA are the result of a philosophical quest on how to build Life.
leukaemia - 23 - f :
Cells and DNA are the technology that was opted for as the building blocks of Life, and molecules and atoms were the elementary/only blocks to build them with.
leukaemia - 23 - g :
Since solving cancer is the aim DNA, cells and their build philosophy are most likely the place where we need to look to solve cancer.
leukaemia - 23 - h :
Since the beginning of time atoms, molecules, Nature's laws and Evolution have been around (page 86/87, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5). But not DNA, DNA was created only much later.
leukaemia - 23 - i :
Prior to the creation of DNA and cells first planets and stars had to be formed: no seed can be planted without soil, the same goes for DNA.
leukaemia - 23 - j :
Atoms, molecules and Nature's laws all have the same date of birth. They are not "twins", but they are members of the same family. Evolution perhaps being a distance relative.
leukaemia - 23 - k :
Atoms, molecules and Nature's laws were the only physical objects Evolution had at her disposal in the early days (and still has), the non-physical tool being philosophy.
leukaemia - 23 - l :
Prior to atoms, molecules, Nature's laws, the Universe and Evolution there only existed philosophy.
leukaemia - 23 - m :
The fingerprint of DNA, cells, atoms, molecules and Nature's laws is that they all have a state of art design philosophy on how they work, behave, etc.
leukaemia - 23 - n :
Evolution's presence is a gentle one, almost not feel-able, her presence is like the gravity pull of the Moon on Earth's oceans: smooth, gentile but always there.
leukaemia - 23 - o :
Evolution's contemplation on how to build Life started (most likely), although slowly, in the early hours after the Universe's birth.
leukaemia - 23 - p :
Evolution used the time the Universe needed to form planets, stars and galaxies to figure out how to create Life. The blueprint of DNA was still an empty sheet of paper.
leukaemia - 23 - q :
Creating Life, or any other biological system for that matter, requires a stable universe just like the stability in a greenhouse.
leukaemia - 23 - r :
Evolution must have been one of the few spectators while Nature's laws started the formation of galaxies.
leukaemia - 23 - s :
The building blocks given to Evolution to build Life were all the atoms, molecules and laws of Nature present in the Universe (except for the soul).
leukaemia - 23 - t :
Since every living thing consists for a large part out of water it is safe to say that Evolution has water at the base of her design for Life, at least on Earth that is.
leukaemia - 23 - u :
Water (or better said a fluid) as a main ingredient for life-forms is Evolution's solution for moving molecules around in the body. Practical thinking of Evolution.
leukaemia - 23 - v :
If Evolution can construct life-forms based on the principle of having fluid inside, then that does not imply water only. From a blueprint point of view: any fluid will do.
leukaemia - 23 - w :
Only time will tell if Evolution made a blueprint for life for methane planets. There is enough fluid on those planets, but it most likely requires different DNA bases.
leukaemia - 23 - x :
The design stage where Evolution had to think of a way to move molecules around within a life-form is one of those aspects that can be looked at in a later stage.
leukaemia - 23 - y :
In the early stage of Evolution's quest, she concluded quite quickly that it would need a closed system like cells, veins and a body to control chemical reactions.
leukaemia - 23 - z :
Although life-forms are built from the bottom up (DNA and cell-division), Evolution, once she had the blueprint of life-forms ready, used reversed engineering to build DNA and its working principle.

leukaemia - 22 - a :
If DNA is the blueprint for Life, then doubling the human chromosomes from 23 to 46 (page 23, ISBN 978-0-470-55174-5) is Evolution's solution to extend that blueprint.
leukaemia - 22 - b :
The more high-tech a bio-system will be, the more information needs to be stored in its chromosomes.
leukaemia - 22 - c :
The more complex any system will be, the more complex any fault can be, and so, the more complex diseases can become (in the case of bio-systems).
leukaemia - 22 - d :
Why would Evolution duplicate information (23 unique pairs) instead of making 46 unique chromosomes. Apparently 23 unique chromosomes are enough for building a human.
leukaemia - 22 - e :
Making duplicates is not about adding more information to DNA, since the duplicate chromosomes does not contain any new information.
leukaemia - 22 - f :
One would assume that when Evolution wants to add new information to DNA she would make an additional chromosome, instead of duplicating existing information.
leukaemia - 22 - g :
The only reason for Evolution to duplicate information, i.e. a chromosome, is when she needs that same information on two places at the same time.
leukaemia - 22 - h :
The era of the dinosaurs is phenomenal, you just can't take your eyes off them. Even Evolution must have stopped for a while just to gaze at the scenery she had created.
leukaemia - 22 - i :
Though dinosaurs are eye-catching, the mechanics of how DNA and cells work are evenly mind-blowing: DNA and cells are the super creation of Evolution.
leukaemia - 22 - j :
The mind-blowing dinosaurs, and every other life-form, are the tip of Evolution's iceberg. Everything below the tip is the engineering that went into creating DNA and cells.
leukaemia - 22 - k :
The decision to double the number of chromosomes is not so elementary as it sounds. Such a decision could only have been made after DNA was constructed and put to the test.
leukaemia - 22 - l :
Doubling the number of chromosomes to 46 could only have come about after having reviewed the process of working with 23 chromosomes.
leukaemia - 22 - m :
If the current number of 46 chromosomes is a finished design, then the stage where there were only 23 chromosomes can be seen as seventy or eighty percent finished.
leukaemia - 22 - n :
Storing blueprint information in DNA is one thing but storing improvements, necessary to improve DNA, could not have been stored in DNA itself.
leukaemia - 22 - o :
Everything in DNA serves a purpose, it most likely always has been that way ever since it was put together: it does not contain any storage areas for unused information.
leukaemia - 22 - p :
Unless Evolution is an incarnation of God, building DNA and testing it must have needed some sort of technique to manage the changes required to improve DNA.
leukaemia - 22 - q :
Since DNA is an information carrier, it would not have been surprising had Evolution used a part within DNA itself for storing improvements she wanted to make.
leukaemia - 22 - r :
The only place where Evolution can store changes she wants to make to DNA, if not in DNA itself, is in her mind.
leukaemia - 22 - s :
Whether Evolution works for Nature or for God it is safe to say that Evolution is meant to be the only one that is allowed to make changes to DNA.
leukaemia - 22 - t :
Genetic modification in agriculture was not anticipated by Evolution I guess. Evolution takes her time to improve DNA, Man doesn't, Man is easily satisfied.
leukaemia - 22 - u :
Evolution knows everything about quantum mechanics, gravity, etc, so knowing the capacity of her creations, i.e. the ability of Man to alter DNA, was already anticipated.
leukaemia - 22 - v :
After duplicating the human chromosomes to 46 Evolution could conclude her design was finished, but then, why stop when one has such great design capabilities.
leukaemia - 22 - w :
No one except Evolution (and God) know the actual design path set out for DNA.
leukaemia - 22 - x :
Concluding that Evolution at one stage doubled the human chromosomes does not bring Man up to Evolution's level: the student surpassing its master does not apply here.
leukaemia - 22 - y :
The presence of Man only leads to decay. The Universe (or God) will always have to come by and clean things up: Lord Shiva, The Destroyer of Worlds.
leukaemia - 22 - z :
Whether it is 23 or 46 chromosomes, DNA and cells are a work of art. Such artwork can only originate from the soul of a great artist. Just like Rembrandt's paintings.

leukaemia - 21 - a :
Finding a cure for leukaemia, and cancer in general, lies in no place other than in our DNA: since leukaemia is a structural failure, you have dig into its build-process.
leukaemia - 21 - b :
There are more than a hundred types of cancer but they all share one characteristic: faulty cells reproducing out of control. cancer research uk, what is cancer.
leukaemia - 21 - c :
One characteristic, one clue, one direction in which to look for a cure. It does not get any clearer than that.
leukaemia - 21 - d :
More than a hundred types of cancer being able to exist indicates that cancer is not shy in any why in finding a place in the body to call "home".
leukaemia - 21 - e :
You must trackback the build process of each organ and each tissue to locate that one stage in the build-process where the flaw is created from which cancer can originate.
leukaemia - 21 - f :
Healthy cells can get damaged such that they become cancer. So, there are two ways on how cancer can come about: healthy cells getting damaged, or from the inside i.e. DNA.
leukaemia - 21 - g :
Cancer is such a high-tech disease, so difficult to engineer, and yet it can be triggered by something operating so randomly like radiation.
leukaemia - 21 - h :
Cancer can be triggered, that is a known fact. It would be great if cancer can also be triggered to not exist, to stop, to not be cancer anymore but return to a healthy cell.
leukaemia - 21 - i :
Apparently, there is something in radiation that can alter the DNA of a healthy cell so that it becomes cancer.
leukaemia - 21 - j :
Pretty picky of radiation to affect the DNA inside while leaving the cell membrane, the first barrier on its way to DNA, unharmed.
leukaemia - 21 - k :
Apparently, radiation is a tool that can be used to alter, modify i.e., DNA.
leukaemia - 21 - l :
If radiation can be used to alter DNA for cancer to emerge then it would be great if it could also be used to undo cancer.
leukaemia - 21 - m :
All the variables within radiation might hold the key to use radiation to undo cancer. Perhaps radiation can even be used to trigger DNA improvements.
leukaemia - 21 - n :
It is not a strange idea to use tools to work on DNA. Tools are used all over the world so why would DNA be any different.
leukaemia - 21 - o :
Because of DNA's high density any tool used will affect more than just the area aimed at, at least when using a broad tool like radiation that is.
leukaemia - 21 - p :
Radiation can create cancer, but, is radiation, as a tool, also able to create all the known cancers.
leukaemia - 21 - q :
Leukaemia created by the body and leukaemia created by radiation do not necessarily need to have the same DNA fingerprint. It would be surprising if they did.
leukaemia - 21 - r :
If radiation can change healthy DNA so that it becomes cancer means that the variables within radiation, by default, have the right settings to make that happen.
leukaemia - 21 - s :
Radiation seems not to be hampered by DNA's complexity: radiation simply looks at DNA and modifies it, just like that.
leukaemia - 21 - t :
Up till now I looked at DNA as being something that sits deep inside the body, but that view is wrong: cancer's potential to emerge can be found everywhere in the body.
leukaemia - 21 - u :
That DNA can be found everywhere in our body is an understatement, DNA manifests itself hugely throughout our body: in almost every cell that is.
leukaemia - 21 - v :
Since DNA is present in almost every cell of our body it is wrong to accuse DNA of being shy, or in hiding for that matter.
leukaemia - 21 - w :
DNA residing at the core of life suggests it being locked in a massive vault, and yet it is hugely common throughout the body, like grapes in a vineyard.
leukaemia - 21 - x :
Compared to where our soul resides, DNA cannot be more in unhiding as it is today: being present in almost every cell of our body.
leukaemia - 21 - y :
Looking at DNA as it being something that builds life from a central location is wrong. DNA is being distributed throughout the body to make the body work as it should.
leukaemia - 21 - z :
Evolution did not stop after designing the double helix. DNA being distributed in almost every cell of our body means wide distribution is part of DNA's working principle.

leukaemia - 20 - a :
Bear Grills, Discovery Channel (The Netherlands), November 4, 2018, Guatemala jungle: Mr. Grills awakes in tree and needs to get down but spots a green venomous viper. The venom of the green viper attacks red blood cells.
leukaemia - 20 - b :
For Evolution to enhance the green viper's body for better survival is one thing, supplying it with venom that attacks the red blood cells is something completely different.
leukaemia - 20 - c :
The green viper's evolution is contained within the viper itself. How in God's name did Evolution jumped that barrier (getting outside the viper's body and into its prey's body) for her to understand that a complex venom would kill the viper's prey.
leukaemia - 20 - d :
For Evolution to come up with the idea of teeth to improve eating flesh is something we can understand, but creating a venom that attacks red blood cells is beyond logic and best practise: it is masterminded (crafted).
leukaemia - 20 - e :
Leukaemia and the green viper's venom carry the same signature: working on the deepest and most complex processes that take place in the body.
leukaemia - 20 - f :
It takes a conscious mind to come up with the idea of equipping the green viper with a venom for hunting.
leukaemia - 20 - g :
The idea of using venom to attack prey is something that can only come about when contemplating on a quite Sunday Autumn afternoon.
leukaemia - 20 - h :
The idea of using venom to attack prey is something that can only come from the mind of he who blueprinted Life, and doing so, has overall knowledge of prey and hunter.
leukaemia - 20 - i :
In theory Evolution could also have equipped the green viper with the ability to inject leukaemia into its prey, instead of venom.
leukaemia - 20 - j :
It is indicative that Evolution equipped vipers, and other animals, with venom but not with leukaemia or any other diseases that we know exist amongst humans and animals.
leukaemia - 20 - k :
As soon as Man has the opportunity to inflict leukaemia upon others, it will be used as a weapon. Evolution, luckily, makes better decisions.
leukaemia - 20 - l :
To most of the billions of inhabitants on this planet it would come at no surprise that it can be concluded that Evolution makes far more better decisions than Man.
leukaemia - 20 - m :
Eating is the most basic way for an animal or human to take in food. Teeth are the best way to do that.
leukaemia - 20 - n :
The fact that Evolution equipped many lifeforms with teeth is the result of the presence of gravity.
leukaemia - 20 - o :
Gravity meant Evolution had to use tough flesh and strong bone for her creations, and so, the need for teeth to rip flesh and bone in to consumable pieces for the stomach.
leukaemia - 20 - p :
Gravity is a law of Nature, not a product of Evolution. Gravity was just one of the many aspects of Nature that Evolution had to implement in her equations for creating Life.
leukaemia - 20 - q :
With a high degree of certainty, it can be said that if Evolution was able of equipping the green viper with venom, she for sure has the mind to be aware of gravity.
leukaemia - 20 - r :
There is no doubt that when Evolution was, prior to creating Life, aware of gravity she for sure would have known about quantum mechanics and all other laws of Nature.
leukaemia - 20 - s :
It is mandatory for he who wants to create life to fully understand Nature's laws. There simply is no other way. Those laws are needed for high-tech bio-engineering.
leukaemia - 20 - t :
Albert Einstein and Evolution would have liked each other's company: two minds residing on the same level.
leukaemia - 20 - u :
One reason for Evolution to equip the green viper with venom instead of leukaemia is: to Evolution leukaemia is a structural failure and a venom is a fabricated weapon.
leukaemia - 20 - v :
You hunt prey with weaponry, not with structural failures. Weaponry is engineered to kill, period.
leukaemia - 20 - w :
Structural failures are faults in a design and need to get rid of by means of engineering. Structural failures are hard to control, even for Evolution.
leukaemia - 20 - x :
Playing around with structural failures is like playing with fire: at some point you will get burned.
leukaemia - 20 - y :
Evolution understood gravity so understanding proper engineering, i.e., getting rid of structural failures to create sustainable systems fits that same mindset.
leukaemia - 20 - z :
One other reason for Evolution to have chosen to equip the green viper with venom is that even in its most acute form leukaemia takes too long to kill the green viper's prey.

leukaemia - 19 - a :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine: building blocks of DNA. Pretty neat that Evolution only required four building blocks to build Life. your genome, what is dna.
leukaemia - 19 - b :
Imagine a contractor with only four building blocks from which he will build your house, but everything else too: from kitchen appliances to knives and forks.
leukaemia - 19 - c :
The contractor's toolkit is empty: even the blueprints to build your home are housed within the contractor's four building blocks.
leukaemia - 19 - d :
It is almost as if all the building material is also contained in the contractor's four building blocks.
leukaemia - 19 - e :
That the contractor and its four building blocks are not fictional is proven by the fact that the four building blocks require essential building material to do their job.
leukaemia - 19 - f :
Four unique building blocks sounds magical but on the other hand, how much unique building blocks would be preferable to build Life; one thousand is too much, four too little.
leukaemia - 19 - g :
The less different type of building blocks the better manageable they are, but also, the better manageable the build process itself is. Four sounds good.
leukaemia - 19 - h :
Evolution does not have a warehouse to store her building blocks. Evolution is a nomad: she must travel light and compact, all weight she takes in needs to have a purpose.
leukaemia - 19 - i :
Evolution uses a build process that uses actual building blocks instead of large prefabricated parts.
leukaemia - 19 - j :
If we would to do reverse engineering on the human body, chances are that we would not be able to trace it back to the four building blocks Evolution created.
leukaemia - 19 - k :
Taking apart a car down to its bolts and nuts is easy compared to taking apart the human body to its four building blocks.
leukaemia - 19 - l :
Something is called a building block when it is used to make the foundation on which the rest of the structure can be build: at least, that is how Evolution defined it.
leukaemia - 19 - m :
In the old days they added building material upon building material to construct the walls of a house. Nowadays bricks, i.e. building blocks, are used.
leukaemia - 19 - n :
We learn from Evolution, and not the other way around. There is nothing that we can teach Evolution.
leukaemia - 19 - o :
The mere fact that Evolution decided to use building blocks for building Life is already a decision that requires insight, or at least a plan, on how to build Life.
leukaemia - 19 - p :
It cannot be that Evolution succeeded creating adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine (as we know it today) at first attempt.
leukaemia - 19 - q :
Building Life requires much more processes than only its four building blocks, however, it are the building blocks that define all processes that are to follow.
leukaemia - 19 - r :
Evolution did not succeed in building her four building blocks the on the first attempt she made: it is unnatural if she would have (even for her doing).
leukaemia - 19 - s :
Now that it is known that Evolution can build complex lifeforms with only four building blocks, imagine what she could do by adding two or three more building blocks.
leukaemia - 19 - t :
It is not so strange to think that Evolution uses the same four building blocks (she used for us) to build life in other parts of the Universe.
leukaemia - 19 - u :
On Earth Evolution shows by means of the huge possibilities in the high-tech functionality for insects, reptiles and marine-life what can be built with DNA.
leukaemia - 19 - v :
Perhaps the aim of Evolution is not to build life itself but an ecosystem instead: a sustainable bio-environment in which a diversity of life can flourish.
leukaemia - 19 - w :
Evolution's result on Earth is a sustainable bio-environment: a balancing act of life energy, universal energy if you like.
leukaemia - 19 - x :
Evolution's technology and knowhow is spot-on, her mindset can be deduced from the work she delivered, i.e. if you know how to read it.
leukaemia - 19 - y :
Evolution is the only contractor, designer and engineer in the Universe to which any god of any religion would turn to if something needs to be build.
leukaemia - 19 - z :
Evolution only needs to make small changes to its four building blocks to make Life flourish elsewhere in the Universe.

leukaemia - 18 - a :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine: building blocks of DNA. Where to venture when a cure for cancer is not blueprinted in our DNA. your genome, what is dna.
leukaemia - 18 - b :
During the West African Ebola epidemic in 2014 thankfully there were people that survived Ebola: apparently evolution has already come so far that surviving Ebola is possible. ebola history, chronology.
leukaemia - 18 - c :
Ebola, the flu, the plague and cholera (to name a few). A sickness only brings fear when there is no cure for it.
leukaemia - 18 - d :
It would be really something if Ebola could be modified so that it will see leukaemia as food, a bit similar like maggot therapy.
leukaemia - 18 - e :
The design path Evolution set out for mitosis and the body's defence system are like two parallel lines: they are not meant to interact with each other to safeguard mitosis.
leukaemia - 18 - f :
Evolution is right not to have supplied the body's defence mechanism with functionality to check for wrongful mitosis: it just is not the right way to build a system.
leukaemia - 18 - g :
The evolution of getting the body cancer-free does not lie in the ability of the body's defence mechanism to fight cancer cells: that would only mean fighting the symptoms.
leukaemia - 18 - h :
The solution of getting cancer-free lies in tracking cancer back to its core: it tracks back through building processes, and not through the body's defence system.
leukaemia - 18 - i :
Besides Evolution there is nothing outside DNA that can analyse the processes in the body to check whether DNA requires modification.
leukaemia - 18 - j :
A disease such as cancer is dwarfed by the difficulties Evolution had to overcome to get Life and DNA up to the current high-tech level.
leukaemia - 18 - k :
Cancer is the remnant of a building process: every house, software or complex object that is build on this planet is faced with remaining issues after completion.
leukaemia - 18 - l :
Some things are not meant to have remaining issues after completion, e.g. a bridge. Such structures need to work immediately after completion.
leukaemia - 18 - m :
The minute Evolution noticed that children could get affected by cancer (cancer not resulting from old age) must have rung a bell that the design she made contained a flaw.
leukaemia - 18 - n :
After a hard day's work Evolution can look upon cancer as the glass being half full or have empty. The latter would mean she will put in some overtime.
leukaemia - 18 - o :
Evolution, overlooking all her creations, should not be alarmed by such a low percentage of cancer begin present amongst such a great diversity of phenomenal life.
leukaemia - 18 - p :
The artist's mindset can be deduced by understanding what it took to create his artwork.
leukaemia - 18 - q :
The artwork of Evolution is Life. The blueprint of many lifeforms is so well thought through and tells of three things: high-tech, beauty and sustainability.
leukaemia - 18 - r :
To the human eye Evolution is finished with the evolution of Life because all lifeforms are now superbly adapted to the environment in which they live.
leukaemia - 18 - s :
Fifty million years ago Evolution had already managed to put fish in the ocean. That was already a great prestige. And yet, she set out to perfect her creations.
leukaemia - 18 - t :
It is strange that Evolution continued after having created early fish (a superb result already). Something drove Evolution to continue the evolution of her creations.
leukaemia - 18 - u :
Rembrandt, and many artists alike, are known for not being content with their first creations, started to rebuild the painting they were working on until they were satisfied.
leukaemia - 18 - v :
The only reason for Evolution not stopping evolution is because God asked Evolution to continue, or, Evolution knew a higher level of perfection could be achieved.
leukaemia - 18 - w :
The only reason for any builder, whether that be Evolution or Rembrandt, to continue perfecting his work is because he is following a blueprint, or he/she is not satisfied.
leukaemia - 18 - x :
Cancer is one of those structural failures that will typically show up in the early test phases of mitosis: Evolution must have witnessed it back then.
leukaemia - 18 - y :
Evolution is not to say a slow process, because that sounds disrespectful, but rather a thoughtful process: the aim is to build quality systems, sustainable if you will.
leukaemia - 18 - z :
Once Man can overcome its need to buy a new iPhone every week, the evolution of Man will head for the ability of doing wizardry as depicted in the Harry Potter saga.

leukaemia - 17 - a :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine: building blocks of DNA. If the cure for cancer is not blueprinted in these building blocks, it is not in. your genome, what is dna.
leukaemia - 17 - b :
Even if Evolution already made a beginning with a cure for cancer in our DNA, would we be able to recognise that, or at least know what to look for.
leukaemia - 17 - c :
It can be that Evolution's cure for cancer is not a physical defence mechanism like white blood cells, but simply an improvement of mitosis itself.
leukaemia - 17 - d :
Evolution has two options to cure cancer: (1) improving mitosis in such a way that cancer cannot form anymore, or, (2) create a mechanism to combat cancer.
leukaemia - 17 - e :
The difficulty with option two is that cancer can also occur outside the blood vessels and then white blood cells are useless: it is beyond their reach.
leukaemia - 17 - f :
If there is someone who thinks he knows what Evolution's next step will be to embed a cure for cancer in our DNA, then that person is now allowed to stand up and speak.
leukaemia - 17 - g :
Not knowing how to solve cancer is one thing, but when asked by Evolution what our preferred solution would be would we be able to answer that on a DNA level. Probably not.
leukaemia - 17 - h :
Evolution will give us two choices: (1) allow cancer to occur and use the body's defence system to heal from it, or, (2) adjust DNA so cancer cannot exist in the first place.
leukaemia - 17 - i :
Evolution might give us a third option: allow cancer to exist but in such a way that is would be curable by using medication, e.g. like cholera.
leukaemia - 17 - j :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine: four building blocks that look so easy to make and yet had Evolution not designed them no one would have come up with such a design.
leukaemia - 17 - k :
The iPhone looks so simple and yet in the whole telecoms industry there was none to come up with its design and product philosophy except for one man: Steven Paul Jobs.
leukaemia - 17 - l :
Locating the blueprint of the bone marrow in the genome is tough. Figuring out if and why leukaemia is also there is even harder to do.
leukaemia - 17 - m :
Had leukaemia been the only type of cancer, its cure might have laid in adjusting the blueprint of the bone marrow.
leukaemia - 17 - n :
Since many types of cancer exist outside the bone marrow it is cancer itself that tells us that the bone marrow is not the issue when it comes down to leukaemia.
leukaemia - 17 - o :
Finding a cure for leukaemia means you need to understand the philosophy of adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and the genome.
leukaemia - 17 - p :
To understand Evolution, you need to think like Evolution. You need to reinvent the wheel, only then might you be able to understand why cancer exists and where its cure lies.
leukaemia - 17 - q :
Imagine how different the body's defence system would have looked like had it had the ability to target leukaemia.
leukaemia - 17 - r :
Nowadays the body's defence system is quite able to defend itself against most viruses it can be concluded that its design is very well equipped for the job it must do.
leukaemia - 17 - s :
Had leukaemia only been a problem for people of a certain skin colour leukaemia would not as much have been looked at as a threat.
leukaemia - 17 - t :
Had leukaemia been a disease that was mainly found among the Jewish people the Third Reich would have kept more Jewish people alive to experiment on.
leukaemia - 17 - u :
Of all the Jewish people the Third Reich consumed, Jewish children would have been valued more as guinea pigs than Jewish adults had leukaemia been mainly a Jewish disease.
leukaemia - 17 - v :
Leukaemia is Evolution's tool to help people understand that lines drawn by racism are imaginative, i.e., skin colour is not a real border: it is a phenotype.
leukaemia - 17 - w :
You will not find a factory where the products it manufactured are required to check the assembly line from which they came. The same goes for white blood cells.
leukaemia - 17 - x :
An example that comes close in which "products" from an assembly line will contribute to the very assembly line from which they came are inborn bees of a beehive.
leukaemia - 17 - y :
White blood cells are products that roll of an assembly line. Changing the characteristics of a product can only be done by adjusting its blueprint.
leukaemia - 17 - z :
Adjustments to products are never made on the factory floor but in the offices upstairs.

leukaemia - 16 - a :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine: building blocks of DNA. @yourgenome your genome, what is dna.
leukaemia - 16 - b :
As it turns out also Evolution found that if you want to build a system, biological in this case, you got to work with building blocks.
leukaemia - 16 - c :
An engineer will first get the blueprint of the whole system ready, and then will work his way down specifying all the building blocks. A top down approach.
leukaemia - 16 - d :
Evolution started specifying the building blocks first (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine) and then worked her way up without having a blueprint of the whole system.
leukaemia - 16 - e :
Evolution might very well be the only engineer in existence that managed to build complex biological systems without creating a blueprint first.
leukaemia - 16 - f :
Not even God will set out to build a system without first having created a blueprint. It just doesn't work that way.
leukaemia - 16 - g :
Complex diseases are a product of complex biological systems: biological systems and their diseases are interlocked like the Earth and the Moon.
leukaemia - 16 - h :
The explanation for the presence of Life is that God (maker and copyright holder of the blueprint for Life) created Evolution (the process engineer executing the blueprint).
leukaemia - 16 - i :
Life on Earth is stunningly gorgeous and vastly diverse. Life is amongst the most complex systems that are technically possible to build with molecules.
leukaemia - 16 - j :
Adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine are so well thought through that scientist can only gaze at the complexity these building blocks are able to build.
leukaemia - 16 - k :
Had Evolution needed boardroom approval, adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine, would never have flourished due to differences of opinion.
leukaemia - 16 - l :
The only way for Steven Paul Jobs to create the iPhone and make it a stunning product was to not compromise his vision for the iPhone.
leukaemia - 16 - m :
Evolution works in the same manner as Steven Paul Jobs did: no boardroom interference, and therefore no weakening of the blueprint for adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.
leukaemia - 16 - n :
DNA of humans does not differ much from DNA of other lifeforms on Earth: why invest in new building blocks when you can reuse the old ones by making small changes.
leukaemia - 16 - o :
Not only did Evolution created adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine, she also knew how to make slight changes without messing things up: perfecting life-forms.
leukaemia - 16 - p :
Although Evolution is a Master of Engineering, she too cannot foresee everything and so she must have created mechanisms that would allow DNA to be upgraded.
leukaemia - 16 - q :
One of Evolution's masterpieces is the ability of DNA to modify itself to make lifeforms better adapted to their environment, and so enhancing their survival rate.
leukaemia - 16 - r :
One of the big questions is if the upgrade mechanisms of DNA can detect faults that occur during mitosis, in this case leukaemia.
leukaemia - 16 - s :
Evolution did not start her work yesterday: her starting date can be tracked back at least a couple of billion years earlier.
leukaemia - 16 - t :
Prior to creating the first single cell organisms, Evolution first had to study Earth's habitat to understand that DNA needed a mechanism to upgrade itself.
leukaemia - 16 - u :
Had Evolution created a static DNA system, Life would have stopped existing long ago: autonomous systems that cannot adapt will stop working at some point in time.
leukaemia - 16 - v :
Everyone knows that once you master something there is no limit to what you can create.
leukaemia - 16 - w :
Evolution and the ability of DNA to improve itself are perhaps one and the same thing.
leukaemia - 16 - x :
The question of every engineer is how to solve a problem once the problem is known: there are more solutions to a problem, sometimes.
leukaemia - 16 - y :
Evolution will be able to find a solution for leukaemia. That is not hard to conclude seeing what she was able to build.
leukaemia - 16 - z :
The body's defence mechanism for viruses: white blood cells. Leukaemia is a structural failure. The body's defence system was never blueprinted to repair structural failures.

leukaemia - 15 - a :
Cancer belongs to the highest level of disease evolution: a disease that not only makes uses of a common process in the body (mitosis) but also becomes that process itself.
leukaemia - 15 - b :
Since there are quite a few different types of cells that need to be produced, it is only logical that there are different types of cancer.
leukaemia - 15 - c :
Leukaemia is a cancer that stands out. Not so much as that it happens in the bone marrow but rather that it affects white blood cells: the body's defence mechanism.
leukaemia - 15 - d :
Cancer is a disease that undermines one's health in such a crucial way, deadly if untreated and working silently, that it can be labelled as a strategic disease.
leukaemia - 15 - e :
Cancer seems to have the same strategic build up as a game of chess: eventually, though thoughtfully, there will be a checkmate.
leukaemia - 15 - f :
In general, there is no other board-game around that better resembles how cancer builds itself up to eventually win with a checkmate.
leukaemia - 15 - g :
The outcome of every game of chess is always checkmate: it is intended to be that way and therefore should not come as a surprise.
leukaemia - 15 - h :
Cancer is a disease that silently invites itself: it sets the chessboard by itself without notification and starts to move its pieces around, slaying our pieces one by one.
leukaemia - 15 - i :
When cancer has setup the chessboard we cannot refuse to play: it forces us to play, or at least, at some point is sends clear signals it is playing.
leukaemia - 15 - j :
Since chess is a character telling board game, and there are different types of cancer, each cancer has its own characteristics on how it plays chess.
leukaemia - 15 - k :
Cancer is ruthless: once it has setup the chessboard it commences the game like a mute old man unaware of you and fully concentrated on the pieces on the board.
leukaemia - 15 - l :
The mute old man who sets up the chessboard has similarities with Bootstrap Bill from Pirates of the Caribbean: solely focused on his duty and unable to leave that path.
leukaemia - 15 - m :
The mute old man setting up the chessboard is not Death itself: the mute old man is bound by its duty, playing chess, Death is not.
leukaemia - 15 - n :
God and Death reside on levels that lie close to each other, the mute old man resides on levels that lie quite a bit lower.
leukaemia - 15 - o :
The question is: who summons the mute old man to setup the chessboard and start the game of chess.
leukaemia - 15 - p :
It can be that the question is not "who" but rather "what": what triggers the mute old man to set up the chessboard and start the game.
leukaemia - 15 - q :
The mute old man is who he is, but like all things in nature he too is bound by Nature's rules and regulations.
leukaemia - 15 - r :
Even when a cure for cancer is found the mute old man will remain unchanged: only Nature and Evolution can change his ways.
leukaemia - 15 - s :
A cure for cancer will not make the mute old man take his eyes off the chessboard: there is no cure for cancer that can impress him.
leukaemia - 15 - t :
The plague seems absent but that does not mean it has left the building: the plague, and many alike, sit on the stands ready to commence their board game.
leukaemia - 15 - u :
The mute old man has been known for starting off with one game of chess and in the meantime sets up multiple chessboards, all for one and the same opponent.
leukaemia - 15 - v :
No matter how hard you fight the mute old man, he always keeps his dignity and his own pace of doing things.
leukaemia - 15 - w :
The basis for preventing cancers lies in not providing the mute old man with a desk and chair to set up his game of chess in the first place.
leukaemia - 15 - x :
Logic tells us that removing the mute old man will not cure cancer since the game of chess is still there. What you want is the game of chess no longer being there.
leukaemia - 15 - y :
The mute old man has been known for simply packing up and leave while being in the middle of the game: apparently checkmate is not always how far he needs to go.
leukaemia - 15 - z :
The mute old man's hair is neatly cut, his face and hands are old but in a beautiful kind of way: the mute old man is always ready, never tired and always dignified.

Injecting parts in a system to add functionality that was not there before cannot be done without consequence.
leukaemia - 14 - c :
Imitation parts most of times only work well in less complex systems and in systems of which the imitation part is of better quality than the original components.
leukaemia - 14 - d :
The more complex and tightly regulated a system is the more precise each component needs to be.
leukaemia - 14 - e :
A biological system is not blind: it does not let itself be fooled. If it was, Life would never have grown complexity and robustness.
leukaemia - 14 - f :
The mindset of Life is set to learn, and eventually: to improve and to overcome.
leukaemia - 14 - g :
Biological systems have advanced so much over time that they can only be stopped by time itself: old age.
leukaemia - 14 - h :
Almost every medicine operates with side-effects. Cancer, however, operates without.
leukaemia - 14 - i :
Cancer is so well engineered that the body itself does not notice a thing, till it is too late.
leukaemia - 14 - j :
The way cancer operates, i.e. undetected, is how pharmaceutical companies are trying to market their products: "with mild side-effects only".
leukaemia - 14 - k :
Less side-effects requires better understanding of the processes happening in the body. No side-effects at all is something of a different level.
leukaemia - 14 - l :
From a commercial point of view: side-effects are good for business.
leukaemia - 14 - m :
The measles by default is not a part of the body, but the building blocks of cancer are: hence cancer is allowed, and the measles is muscled out.
leukaemia - 14 - n :
The closer you get to being able to create a cancer, the closer you are to fight cancer with cancer: fight fire with fire.
leukaemia - 14 - o :
In theory it can be said that curing a person from cancer will become a process that will run smoother than brushing one's teeth.
leukaemia - 14 - p :
The building block of a cure for any type of cancer will be a cell, that under normal conditions is located near the cancer, and can detect and consume the cancer cells.
leukaemia - 14 - q :
The cure for cancer will be something in the direction of maggot therapy: the ability to locate and consume unhealthy parts while leaving all that is healthy untouched. ncbi, maggot therapy.
leukaemia - 14 - r :
Cancer itself has already demonstrated us that the body's defence mechanism can be fooled by making use of nothing but cells which are part of the body itself.
leukaemia - 14 - s :
A cure for cancer based on the measles means that the measles must be injected in the bone marrow, at some point.
leukaemia - 14 - t :
However cancer came about, it is a disease that is the result of the highest levels of engineering that can be found in nature.
leukaemia - 14 - u :
For someone or something to decide to use such level of engineering to create a disease tells about deep insight and strategic war-thinking.
leukaemia - 14 - v :
If cancer is the product of engineering it can only have been designed by he who has deep insight in the system philosophy of cells being the building blocks of Life. ask a biologist, cell division.
leukaemia - 14 - w :
A parasite killing its own host, and by doing so, threatening its own existence can be regarded as suicidal.
leukaemia - 14 - x :
A parasite killing its own host in the process of survival is not a disease: it tries to survive.
leukaemia - 14 - y :
Google dictionary, disease: a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
leukaemia - 14 - z :
Cancer makes use of a process that lies at the core of Life: mitosis. Because mitosis is a legitimate process, cancer can remain undetected by the body's defence system.

One of the straightest lines in all of nature. @paulandersen, Timeline 8:30, Bozeman Science, Phases of Mitosis.
leukaemia - 13 - b :
One of the straightest lines in all of nature: it is Nature's way of highlighting a special event is about to happen.
leukaemia - 13 - c :
Just as cosmic events like black holes and galaxies: Nature celebrates them by surrounding them with phenomenal beauty.
leukaemia - 13 - d :
From the last stage of mitosis, where one of the straightest lines in nature is formed, to the biggest cosmic events: Nature adds beauty regardless of size.
leukaemia - 13 - e :
One does not have to be a detective to deduce that the engineer of the cosmos has phenomenal beauty and top-level engineering as its signature.
leukaemia - 13 - f :
It is only in particular industries where beauty and engineering go hand in hand. Apple Apple, Pagani Pagani, Japanese sword making.
leukaemia - 13 - g :
People take pride in what they do and deliver quality work no matter whether their bosses now about them or not.

The cosmos is a big place with a lot in it. The cosmos does not have diseases of its own: faults like leukaemia, that are not meant to be.
leukaemia - 13 - i :
The cosmos may not be biological, but it is a system all together, and all systems can contain faults of some kind.

leukaemia - 13 - o :
Every system, whether that is biological or mechanical, has pressure points.
leukaemia - 13 - p :
It is typical for pressure points to have the ability to affect the system it is part of without requiring an additive from the outside.
leukaemia - 13 - q :
Cancer has mitosis as its base. Mitosis is crucial for a healthy life. Affect mitosis and you affect the body: mitosis is a pressure point of any biological system.
leukaemia - 13 - r :
The ability to locate and control pressure points requires a great deal of system knowledge.
leukaemia - 13 - s :
Cancer is the outcome of stimulating a pressure point called mitosis. It is like in aikido: once a proper grip is set the whole body is disabled.
leukaemia - 13 - t :
A pressure point of a shark's biological system is activated when a shark is turned on its back. Timeline 32:50, a shark's pressure point.
leukaemia - 13 - u :
Every engineer that has a feeling for industrial design will add beauty to its creation. It is inevitable, since doing differently goes against who you are.
leukaemia - 13 - v :
Nature is the ultimate industrial designer, hence, the beauty surrounding highly complex processes in nature.
leukaemia - 13 - w :
Adding beauty and then hope for the best will not work. "One of the straightest lines in all of nature" is a design accent.
leukaemia - 13 - x :
Pressure points are not created by design accents: they come with the creation of the system itself.
leukaemia - 13 - y :
One of the straightest lines in all of nature is a design accent, mitosis taking a wrong turn is a pressure point.
leukaemia - 13 - z :
The definition of a pressure point is that it does not require any additive to function, only a stimulus: leukaemia is created from processes and components that are needed for a healthy life.

Stem cells are the contractors in our body: they do the jobs our body needs for maintenance and repair. Timeline 00:54 Regenomics, What is stem cell therapy.

Leukaemia being the result of a fault inside a haematopoietic stem cell, perhaps.
leukaemia - 12 - d :
Leukaemia being the result of a stem cell that should not have been in the bone marrow in the first place.
leukaemia - 12 - e :
Leukaemia is the rapid growth of immature white blood cells. Rapid growth of cells in itself is not a bad thing.
leukaemia - 12 - f :
The growth of hair is also the result of a stem cell that rapidly produces cells that make our hair grow. No leukaemia there.
leukaemia - 12 - g :
The haematopoietic stem cell from which the leukaemia originates should have been a stem cell for hair production.
leukaemia - 12 - h :
Stem cells that were used for facelift surgery started to produce bone. From that perspective leukaemia is not that weird. Timeline 09:05 TEDx Talks, promises and dangers of stem cell therapies | Daniel Kota.
leukaemia - 12 - i :
It seems that the haematopoietic stem cell from which leukaemia originates seems to think it needs to produce cells that rapidly reproduce.
leukaemia - 12 - j :
Mitosis is fully intact within leukaemia: perhaps that stem cell is not so damaged after all.
leukaemia - 12 - k :
A damaged haematopoietic stem cell and still it is able to pass on such a complex system like mitosis.
leukaemia - 12 - l :
Mitosis is a complex system. Trouble-free complexity is not easily passed on by a damaged stem cell to the cells it gives birth to.
leukaemia - 12 - m :
The goal of the haematopoietic stem cell that causes the leukaemia was not meant to create blood cells, but hair instead.
leukaemia - 12 - n :
White blood cells affected by leukaemia do not capture viruses in the blood. Why would they when the stem cell they originate from thinks it needs to produce hair cells.
leukaemia - 12 - o :
Leukaemia is not a disease in a strange way, i.e. cells that reproduce quickly are a natural phenomenon in our bodies.
leukaemia - 12 - p :
In normal circumstances quick reproducing cells in the bone marrow should be absent: Evolution did not design quick reproduction to be inside the bone marrow.
leukaemia - 12 - q :
Leukaemia tells us that the functionality of quick cell reproduction from elsewhere in the body has wrongfully entered the bone marrow.
leukaemia - 12 - r :
Mitosis of cells that need to reproduce quickly is all about performance, like a Formula One car's engine: everything needs to be spot on.
leukaemia - 12 - s :
A haematopoietic stem cell getting damaged such that it starts to reproduce white blood cells that behave like hair cells is a bit too coincidentally.
leukaemia - 12 - t :
Haematopoietic stem cells are just cells. A healthy haematopoietic stem cell can get damaged.
leukaemia - 12 - u :
A stem cell being an important cell in our bodies does not shelter it from not getting damaged: importance in itself does not provide shelter.
leukaemia - 12 - v :
Super models, politicians and Hollywood stand top level in social human structure, but all are as receptive to cancer like ordinary people.
leukaemia - 12 - w :
Shelter for stem cells, or robustness for that matter, would only have been added by Evolution had she seen a necessity to do so.
leukaemia - 12 - x :
Evolution engineers from a sustainable mindset: she must have put a barrier in place to prevent hair stem cells from entering the bone marrow.
leukaemia - 12 - y :
The phenomena of cells only reproducing quickly in the bone marrow and lacking any other function points to the growth of hair.
leukaemia - 12 - z :
Leukaemia is not about faulty blood cells. Leukaemia is about misplaced cell functionality: rapid mitosis in the bone marrow.

leukaemia - 11 - a :
Compared to insects, reptiles and marine-life, Man's evolution seems to be at an early stage. The others seem so advanced.
leukaemia - 11 - b :
Leukaemia is perhaps best looked at from that early stage of evolution.
leukaemia - 11 - c :
If leukaemia is really caused by an early stage of evolution that we are at, then only technology can help us overcome leukaemia.
leukaemia - 11 - d :
Technology will provide the cure but it is understanding the system philosophy behind leukaemia that will guide technology.
leukaemia - 11 - e :
Understanding how a system works is one thing but creating a system from scratch asks for a much deeper insight.
leukaemia - 11 - f :
Setting up a durable system, a system that can survive the hands of time, asks for an ethical mindset: sustainability, not profitability.
leukaemia - 11 - g :
The survival line of sustainability shows much more rigidness and stability than the line of profitability.
leukaemia - 11 - h :
The survival line of profitability shows high instability, directionless, lack of vision: unhealthy.
leukaemia - 11 - i :
The survival line of sustainability provides a base on which system flaws can be investigated and overcome: gaining deeper insight.
leukaemia - 11 - j :
The survival line of profitability only works occasionally, like for example on New Year's Eve: putting effort in creating a moment of joy.
leukaemia - 11 - k :
Sustainability can only be gotten by using deep ethical system philosophy. Sustainability is harder to create than profitability.
leukaemia - 11 - l :
Looking at Nature it can be concluded that Life, Evolution, or God, set up a system which has sustainability at its core.
leukaemia - 11 - m :
Looking at the evolutionary path of Life it can be concluded that bioengineering has only been improving: the survival line of sustainability.
leukaemia - 11 - n :
Every complex system is made up of building blocks: it is something Evolution also saw as the best way to create a sustainable system.
leukaemia - 11 - o :
Evolution has chemistry and physics as her main building material. Chemical reactions and physics can only be controlled in sealed environment: cells.
leukaemia - 11 - p :
Cells are the building blocks of all living things in nature: Building blocks of life.
leukaemia - 11 - q :
For Evolution to come up with the idea of a cell meant she first had to understand that chemistry and physics can only be controlled in a closed environment.
leukaemia - 11 - r :
A single type of cell does not create a complex system: it requires the usage of many different types of cells.
leukaemia - 11 - s :
A milestone for every engineer is not so much when the system is completed but when the creation of the first building block is a success.
leukaemia - 11 - t :
At the basis of the first cell created by Evolution lies a huge amount of contemplation, engineering effort and system philosophy.
leukaemia - 11 - u :
Like most of times, the beginning is the hardest part. For Evolution it will not have been any different.
leukaemia - 11 - v :
It is always more difficult to start a fire than to maintain one. Ask Cody Lundin. codylundin.com
leukaemia - 11 - w :
Starting the process of creating a building block will only be done when the blueprint of the entire system is finished.
leukaemia - 11 - x :
Evolution would not have gotten this far if it wasn't for her deep ethical system philosophy. To her leukaemia is a system failure.
leukaemia - 11 - y :
A Formula One car can be taken apart to locate a system failure, Evolution does not have that option: she requires a living system to perform an analysis on.
leukaemia - 11 - z :
Evolution knows: when a system cannot be taken apart, deep observation and reviewing system philosophy are the tools to wield.

leukaemia - 10 - a :
If you smoke you get cancer. Inhale asbestos and you get cancer. too much stress, you get cancer. Different activities, same result.
leukaemia - 10 - b :
It is a bit weird: people do different activities and they all end up in a person getting cancer.
leukaemia - 10 - c :
Ever heard of a person addicted to heroin getting cancer? Heroine is destructive but it does not come with a cancer warning.
leukaemia - 10 - d :
Yes, different activities do not lead to one type of cancer, but lead to different types of cancer. Yet, still it is cancer.
leukaemia - 10 - e :
Off all activities that people do, getting cancer from radiation exposure is something we all understand instantly.
leukaemia - 10 - f :
Radiation, in contrast to e.g. inhaling asbestos, has something destructive that we all understand: you will glow in the dark.
leukaemia - 10 - g :
We perceive radiation as unnatural, extra-terrestrial. Perhaps that is why it is easily understood that it can cause cancer.
leukaemia - 10 - h :
Radiation will fry you. Radiation will fry you so bad that a healthy person can die of cancer in a short period of time.
leukaemia - 10 - i :
There are different types of cancer, but at their base lies the same principle: faulty cells that divide.
leukaemia - 10 - j :
There is something specific going on here, different activities lead to the same result: the creation of faulty cells.
leukaemia - 10 - k :
Cells are delicate biological building blocks and yet somehow different activities harm them in a way there is only one outcome: cancer.
leukaemia - 10 - l :
Cells are precisely engineered, and yet somehow different activities harm them in such a way there is only one outcome: cancer.
leukaemia - 10 - m :
Different activities leading to one result, cancer, is like buying any lottery ticket and winning the lottery, always. Every time.
leukaemia - 10 - n :
It is as if causing cancer is the only option a damaged cell has left. As in, it cannot perform any other function anymore.
leukaemia - 10 - o :
That's strange: a cell getting damaged but its cell-dividing capabilities remain intact, always.
leukaemia - 10 - p :
Cell-dividing capabilities remaining untouched when a cancerous cell is created means that those capabilities are heavily guarded.
leukaemia - 10 - q :
Cell-dividing capabilities not even being influenced by radiation says a lot. What it says I can't say yet, but it is saying something.
leukaemia - 10 - r :
Radiation is not able to damage the cell-dividing capabilities. It means that cells can divide while being exposed to radiation.
leukaemia - 10 - s :
That the cell-dividing capability remains intact after mutations of genes tells that the cell-division process is well built.
leukaemia - 10 - t :
Cells being able to divide, and so creating new cells, is key to a healthy life: it is key for Life to survive.
leukaemia - 10 - u :
Cancer shows us that after random mutations the cell-dividing capability remains active: Evolution engineered this process well.
leukaemia - 10 - v :
Cell-dividing capabilities being able to survive radiation tells that Life, i.e. mitosis, can exist in a radioactive environment.
leukaemia - 10 - w :
Leukaemia is not a disease, it is the remnant of a robustly build core process that got damaged: mitosis.
leukaemia - 10 - x :
Engineers would have difficulty engineering a system that can take all sorts of damages and still keep on working in one particular way.
leukaemia - 10 - y :
One piece of engineering that can take a lot of different damages and still do its task is: the sectioned hull of a cruise vessel.
leukaemia - 10 - z :
A damaged sectioned hull of a cruise vessel stays afloat. Likewise, a damaged cell can still continu with one of its core activities, i.e., mitosis.

leukaemia - 9 - a :
There is something fishy going on with leukaemia: it makes use of a normal process in the body, mitosis, to reduce white blood cells.
leukaemia - 9 - b :
So, leukaemia weakens the body on two places at once: white blood cell production and the ability of the body to fight infections.
leukaemia - 9 - c :
It cannot be that such a well thought through disease was randomly created by Nature. Nothing in nature happens randomly.
leukaemia - 9 - d :
Being able to create a disease that makes use of normal processes within the body speaks of character, of elegance.
leukaemia - 9 - e :
It would be easier creating a disease by injecting a substance into the body. But that would be too mediocre from a design perspective.
leukaemia - 9 - f :
It requires knowhow to create a cancer that reduces white blood cell production. Moreover, it requires a specific decision to do so.
leukaemia - 9 - g :
The decision also could have been taken to engineer leukaemia so that it targets red blood cells: disabling the oxygen intake.
leukaemia - 9 - h :
A leukaemia targeting red blood cells would result in a person getting less and less oxygen, and slowly fade away.
leukaemia - 9 - i :
Leukaemia of the red blood cells is like gently giving a person a chair and kindly whisper: just relax, you will not feel a thing.
leukaemia - 9 - j :
Leukaemia of the white blood cells is like giving a person a chair, strapping him down and say: enjoy the rollercoaster ride.
leukaemia - 9 - k :
Leukaemia is a bit of a sadistic engineered disease: letting the person live without the ability for its body to fight infections.
leukaemia - 9 - l :
If leukaemia is not sadistically meant to be, it definitely is engineered to disarm the body.
leukaemia - 9 - m :
Nature itself is so precisely engineered and so overlooked by a top designer, Evolution i.e., that all people get amazed when studying nature.
leukaemia - 9 - n :
It is true to say that if Nature precisely engineered Life, it would also have engineered diseases with that same precision.
leukaemia - 9 - o :
Engineering in general means getting into the process of creating something that was initially only an idea.
leukaemia - 9 - p :
There always is a philosophy and a reason behind every engineering, it is what feeds engineering.
leukaemia - 9 - q :
There is no reason to assume Nature lacks philosophy and reasoning behind her engineering. Everything seems to be spot on.
leukaemia - 9 - r :
From a disease point of view, leukaemia is well crafted. It is so well thought through that there must be a reason for its existence.
leukaemia - 9 - s :
If people would have the insight and the skill to trigger leukaemia within an enemy, it would have been used as a weapon of war.
leukaemia - 9 - t :
Leukaemia is comparable to the neutron bomb: it quietly disables the immune system without destroying anything else.
leukaemia - 9 - u :
Leukaemia, and cancer in general, is an efficiently engineered disease since it is created from cells, by cells: no additives.
leukaemia - 9 - v :
With all the random mutations that are happening in cells, it is strange that an effective disease as leukaemia can be born.
leukaemia - 9 - w :
Thinking that random mutations can create a rock-solid killer disease like leukaemia is the excuse of a controlled world that does not know the answer.
leukaemia - 9 - x :
Random mutations that have a well-engineered outcome is like thinking that if you clap your hands twice a money tree will appear.
leukaemia - 9 - y :
There must be something in the way genes are build that mutations can result in a well-crafted disease like leukaemia.
leukaemia - 9 - z :
Leukaemia is so well crafted it can only be the result of genetic engineering. There is no other way to create it.

leukaemia - 8 - a :
Like in a factory, not all measuring and process control is done on by a top-level computer.
leukaemia - 8 - b :
One computer that controls all process in a factory is technically undoable: you get a huge amount of cables and electronics in one spot.
leukaemia - 8 - c :
From a process control point of view, it might be possible to create one huge software program to control the entire factory.
leukaemia - 8 - d :
Two things that cannot be concentrated near the top-level computer are sensors and actuators. It simply cannot be done.
leukaemia - 8 - e :
Sensors and actuators are installed throughout the entire factory. It is the only way to control the processes in a factory.
leukaemia - 8 - f :
Bioengineering is far more complex than the most complex engineering in any factory.
leukaemia - 8 - g :
A big similarity between a bioprocess and a process in a factory is that both need to be controlled.
leukaemia - 8 - h :
The only way to control a process is by performing measurements (sensors), interpreting the measurement, and then adjusting the process (actuators).
leukaemia - 8 - i :
It cannot be that the bone marrow is designed to function without the need to measure and control the processes within.
leukaemia - 8 - j :
Throughout nature, on Earth and beyond, there are laws that are universal. The bone marrow being an exception is not likely.
leukaemia - 8 - k :
Nothing can survive without measuring and control. A society that lacks both end up in anarchy.
leukaemia - 8 - l :
The human body is resilient, strong and intelligent. If not, it would never have been able to withstand the hands of time.
leukaemia - 8 - m :
Evolution has mastered measuring and control like no other.
leukaemia - 8 - n :
Evolution is God's ultimate engineer, and responsible for creating and sustaining Life.
leukaemia - 8 - o :
Life needs diversity to survive.
leukaemia - 8 - p :
Evolution is the art director of the Universe: she has successfully put in place life-forms in every corner of this planet.
leukaemia - 8 - q :
Evolution still needs to find a way to notice the birth of leukaemia in the bone marrow, in order to find a solution for it.
leukaemia - 8 - r :
Cell-division is so common throughout evolution. Evolution must have encountered leukaemia before.
leukaemia - 8 - s :
For engineers to solve a problem the problem needs to be around for some time so they can study it and define a solution.
leukaemia - 8 - t :
Evolution being God's engineer (yet an engineer nonetheless): she needs time to notice leukaemia and time to find a solution.
leukaemia - 8 - u :
When leukaemia develops too rapidly into a deadly disease, it leaves too less time for Evolution to investigate and find a solution.
leukaemia - 8 - v :
The flu has been around for a long time, within many people, and it initially does not kill the body: Evolution can study and combat it.
leukaemia - 8 - w :
For any disease or virus to survive, a quick kill of the body is most likely the only way to not get caught by Evolution.
leukaemia - 8 - x :
Leukaemia is too quick for Evolution to catch up. On top of that, it is not known how long Evolution would need to study leukaemia.
leukaemia - 8 - y :
A fault in a fundamental process like cell-division is one of the most difficult faults to locate: it happens out of sight.
leukaemia - 8 - z :
Standing guard on a castle's wall one always looks into the distance for trouble and not near the castle's wall.

leukaemia - 7 - a :
Leukaemia is more of a manufacturing failure: it happens at a certain stage of production that normal blood cells also pass through.
leukaemia - 7 - b :
Leukaemia is all about mastering the technique to halt the production of white blood cells at an intermediate stage.
leukaemia - 7 - c :
Leukaemia is a structural failure, like a hull-breach of the starship Enterprise.
leukaemia - 7 - d :
A structural failure does not have to be fatal. It depends on the severity and the location where it manifests itself.
leukaemia - 7 - e :
Leukaemia is a structural failure of the worst kind, it is a structural failure in the backbone of the body: the blood.
leukaemia - 7 - f :
Not all leukaemia is the same, which is a bit weird since blood cell production is the same for all humans.
leukaemia - 7 - g :
Not all leukaemia being the same and not evenly destructive, tells that leukaemia holds some variables that can be tuned.
leukaemia - 7 - h :
A hull-breach is not that bad: if it happens in a test phase it is good because it brings out a weakness.
leukaemia - 7 - i :
It is when the hull-breach happens after the test phase that it can cause serious trouble.
leukaemia - 7 - j :
For Evolution to find a solution for leukaemia she first needs to know leukaemia exists. You can only fix an error if you know it's there.
leukaemia - 7 - k :
In any factory sensors are connected to the central control unit. Without sensors production flaws are inevitable.
leukaemia - 7 - l :
The bone marrow seems to only have a sensor which tells it to stop the production because its chamber is full. Timeline 1:40, Sammy Grace, leukaemia: a journey into the body.
leukaemia - 7 - m :
Maybe there are more sensors in the bone marrow but with leukaemia able to overcrowd the bone marrow suggests otherwise.
leukaemia - 7 - n :
Perhaps the bone marrow's counter measures for leukaemia go unnoticed against the rapid expansion of leukaemia.
leukaemia - 7 - o :
Evolution might already have implemented counter measures against leukaemia but that they are not yet strong enough.
leukaemia - 7 - p :
The bone marrow stopping the production of blood cells once leukaemia has overcrowded its chamber might already be a counter measure.
leukaemia - 7 - q :
Stopping the production of blood cells, due to its chamber being full, might also be a "flooding" sensor within the bone marrow.
leukaemia - 7 - r :
A flooding sensor is the first basic sensor, basic engineering, that is implemented in all sorts of tanks.
leukaemia - 7 - s :
The next step is to equip the tank with a level sensor. A level sensor brings comfort: one does not have to measure by hand.
leukaemia - 7 - t :
A level sensor within the bone marrow, measuring leukaemia, is not enough. The level of leukaemia needs to be send to a control unit.
leukaemia - 7 - u :
If there is a level sensor within the bone marrow and the control unit is broken there will be a serious problem.
leukaemia - 7 - v :
Perhaps Evolution already found that working with sensors and control units is old school (antic perhaps), not meant for bioprocesses.
leukaemia - 7 - w :
There is no doubt that working with DNA, chromosomes, chemistry and physics delivers a much more elegant system.
leukaemia - 7 - x :
Evolution, or God, which ever fits your view, only have biological building blocks and the laws of Nature at their disposal.
leukaemia - 7 - y :
The Borg are the only species that we know off that have merged biological building blocks with high-tech. Star Trek, Borg.
leukaemia - 7 - z :
Most likely Species 8472 would classify our leukaemia disease as an early evolutionary state of the bone marrow. Start Trek, Species-8472.

leukaemia - 6 - a :
From a manufacturing point of view, the production of faulty blood cells is not really a strange thing. Timeline 1:10, Sammy Grace, leukaemia: a journey into the body.
leukaemia - 6 - b :
The self-destruct mechanism of faulty blood cells indicates that Nature assumed something could go wrong. Timeline 1:10, Sammy Grace, leukaemia: a journey into the body.
leukaemia - 6 - c :
The fact that Nature implemented the self-destruct mechanism for faulty blood cells tells She's aware of faulty blood cells.
leukaemia - 6 - d :
It would be good to know what triggered Nature to create the self-destruct mechanism.
leukaemia - 6 - e :
Organisms have been around for a very long time. Their cell self-destruct mechanism should have been flawless by now.
leukaemia - 6 - f :
Where products are manufactured, faulty products, due to whatever cause, will always be created.
leukaemia - 6 - g :
A manufacturing process that does not produce faulty products every now and then is something that does not exist.
leukaemia - 6 - h :
The highest achievement of a quality manufacturing process is a strong reduction of faulty products.
leukaemia - 6 - i :
If Toyota can produce cars with high reliability, then the bone marrow should be able to operate flawlessly by now.
leukaemia - 6 - j :
Had leukaemia only manifested itself in the final years of elderly people, no one would have considered it a dangerous disease.
leukaemia - 6 - k :
No matter how good the bioengineering of a systems in the body is, all wear down over time and faults will rise.
leukaemia - 6 - l :
Bioprocesses within living things are not meant to last. Eventually all living things will die.
leukaemia - 6 - m :
Perhaps leukaemia is a sign that the bone marrow is worn down. Worn-down bioprocesses cannot be fixed (easily).
leukaemia - 6 - n :
For Toyota to uphold the quality of production cars, worn-down equipment in the manufacturing process will be replaced.
leukaemia - 6 - o :
Faulty products always show clues on where in the production process the fault was created.
leukaemia - 6 - p :
When a manufacturing process suddenly produces faulty products, engineers start to examine the manufacturing process.
leukaemia - 6 - q :
Every manufacturing process on this planet is managed by engineers to produce as less faulty products as possible.
leukaemia - 6 - r :
There is no known manufacturing process on this planet which destroys itself when containing an error.
leukaemia - 6 - s :
The bone marrow lacks quality control engineers, hence, the self-destruct mechanism of blood-cells.
leukaemia - 6 - t :
It is one or the other: either you make use of quality control engineers, or, the products need to manage themselves.
leukaemia - 6 - u :
No matter how complex a (bio)manufacturing process is, from day one things go wrong if a quality control is not present.
leukaemia - 6 - v :
The bone marrow is on its own while it is such a vital part. If it fails in any way, the whole body it is part of is at risk.
leukaemia - 6 - w :
Bioengineering is highly complex. The revision numbers of the bone marrow's blueprint must run sky-high.
leukaemia - 6 - x :
Cell-division being such a crucial part and it going out of control is equal to a petrochemical plant going wild.
leukaemia - 6 - y :
Whether it is manmade or produced by Nature, there is no such thing as producing products that are flawless.
leukaemia - 6 - z :
Whether made by God, Nature, or Man: all understand that quality control is inevitable whenever manufacturing takes place.

leukaemia - 5 - a :
Sharks have been around a lot longer than Man.
leukaemia - 5 - b :
The destruction mechanism of faulty blood cells, in sharks, has had a lot more time to evolve into a bug-free mechanism.
leukaemia - 5 - c :
The bone marrow of sharks has an evolved mechanism that detects the abnormal amount of faulty cells.
leukaemia - 5 - d :
The self-destruct mechanism of faulty blood cells evolved into a bug-free mechanism.
leukaemia - 5 - e :
The production of faulty cells simply does not happen anymore: high quality stem cells.
leukaemia - 5 - f :
The blood cell production mechanism has perfected itself over the long time that sharks have been around.
leukaemia - 5 - g :
Everything about sharks is perfected by Evolution, their blood cell production mechanism being one of those things.
leukaemia - 5 - h :
Only the outer part of sharks having evolved till perfection and not the blood cell production mechanism would be weird.
leukaemia - 5 - i :
To maintain a proper balance in the oceans, sharks and krill need to be able to operate flawlessly.
leukaemia - 5 - j :
An important strength of krill is the number in which they appear. The strength of sharks being their top level predatory build.
leukaemia - 5 - k :
On their way to perfect evolutionary build, Evolution must have encountered leukaemia in sharks' bone marrow.
leukaemia - 5 - l :
Perfect evolutionary build is not easily accomplished. To get there Evolution must be able to recognize and fix weaknesses.
leukaemia - 5 - m :
Blood cells need to be present for a body to function properly, safeguarding the blood cell production mechanism seems logical.
leukaemia - 5 - n :
Something does not become a shark-like predator simply by letting evolution work on its blood cell production mechanism.
leukaemia - 5 - o :
For Evolution to create the superior build of sharks, she must work on many other items in the shark's body too.
leukaemia - 5 - p :
Evolution usually does not do multitasking, because that would be unwise from an engineering perspective.
leukaemia - 5 - q :
Perfection by evolution can only be gotten if Evolution makes small changes and studies the effect of those changes.
leukaemia - 5 - r :
The thing is that if Evolution makes all sorts of changes at once she can get lost on how to proceed when things go wrong.
leukaemia - 5 - s :
Evolution is not stupid. She knows that by making small changes at a time she can maintain control (the best way to tweak).
leukaemia - 5 - t :
The Universe has a trick up its sleeve for Evolution, i.e. Evolution can only tweak what she encounters most often.
leukaemia - 5 - u :
For Evolution to understand leukaemia being a risk in a shark's bone marrow, she had to monitor the bone marrow for a long time.
leukaemia - 5 - v :
Maybe Evolution did not encounter leukaemia in sharks yet, but, that its risk reduction was a side-effect of an earlier bug-fix.
leukaemia - 5 - w :
Like engineers nowadays, optimisations to a complex process or product are only implemented after extensive testing.
leukaemia - 5 - x :
If Evolution had a wish-list, she would say that she longed for a test facility inside the shark's bone marrow.
leukaemia - 5 - y :
Like any test facility: at some point in time it has proven its use and has no function anymore, and will be taken apart.
leukaemia - 5 - z :
The focus of Life and Evolution has always been to adapt, survive and improve. Leukaemia is not meant to be.

leukaemia - 4 - a :
That is weird, the bone marrow can produce faulty cells but then that fault in the cell cannot be undone.
leukaemia - 4 - b :
One would expect that Life's bio-engineering would have found a solution to fix faults in cancer blood cells.
leukaemia - 4 - c :
Perhaps the fault in the blood cell cannot be detected by the bone marrow, or, the fault in the cell is beyond repair.
leukaemia - 4 - d :
From a bio-engineering perspective it is logical to say that each faulty blood cell must destroy itself.
leukaemia - 4 - e :
Given the huge amount of blood cells that are produced daily, checking blood cells for leukaemia is time consuming.
leukaemia - 4 - f :
There is not enough space in the bone marrow to store the produced blood cells prior to sending them through quality control.
leukaemia - 4 - g :
It was for budgetary reasons that the bone marrow was not given quality control functionality. It was just too expansive.
leukaemia - 4 - h :
It can very well be that there is a quality control in the bone marrow, but that it only checks the blood stem cells.
leukaemia - 4 - i :
If something wants leukaemia to succeed, it would be best for leukaemia to manifest itself after quality control.
leukaemia - 4 - j :
It is like the security checks at an airport. You either bypass it or go clean through. Once through, do as you please.
leukaemia - 4 - k :
Wherever leukaemia came from, it being able to pass fault detection in the bone marrow, if there is any, is high-tech.
leukaemia - 4 - l :
The same as when being on an airport, you do not make trouble at the security checks: you behave normal, you blend in.
leukaemia - 4 - m :
If you are up to something, you need to know how security personnel thinks and which techniques they use.
leukaemia - 4 - n :
One can be a master in making things undetectable by scanners, that is one way to do it.
leukaemia - 4 - o :
A large part of security checks comes from security personnel looking at people, figuring out if they are rogue or not.
leukaemia - 4 - p :
Most likely the difficulty with leukaemia is that it cannot be detected on the outside of a blood cell. It lies within.
leukaemia - 4 - q :
It is comparable to an aviation world where all passengers are of the same race. Much harder to find the rogue one.
leukaemia - 4 - r :
Leukaemia is an innocent state of any blood cell. Just a stage that it needs to pass through.
leukaemia - 4 - s :
Like all things that grow, all go through certain stages to become what it needs to become.
leukaemia - 4 - t :
Like people, if you do not make it to adulthood, you are not able to live the life you are supposed to.
leukaemia - 4 - u :
Achieving adulthood is not a goal it is a staring-point.
leukaemia - 4 - v :
Achieving adulthood is like an airliner at the end of a runway: finally ready for lift-off and to do what it is built for, to fly.
leukaemia - 4 - w :
When an airliner crashes the whole aviation world checks if the airliner contained a technical failure and act on that if needed.
leukaemia - 4 - x :
The bone marrow cannot call for a meeting when it is filled with leukaemia.
leukaemia - 4 - y :
The fact that leukaemia makes use of the normal blood cell production process does not makes it easier to detect it.
leukaemia - 4 - z :
That leukaemia makes use of the normal blood cell production process tells about the direction where it originates from.

leukaemia - 3 - a :
The first fish that started to walk on land millions of years ago were already biologically well engineered.
leukaemia - 3 - b :
The major difference between life in the ocean and life on land is that on land the body is more affected by gravity.
leukaemia - 3 - c :
If the development of cancer started in these fish when they were on land, then gravity may have triggered this.
leukaemia - 3 - d :
The effect of gravity on bone may cause bone to become stronger and bigger, i.e., when fish started to come on to land.
leukaemia - 3 - e :
A cell, however, has fluid inside. That means that gravity can pull on whatever is floating inside the cell's fluid.
leukaemia - 3 - f :
Gravity pulling on the strings of DNA. And every now and then causing small DNA alterations.
leukaemia - 3 - g :
Nothing can reach the inside of a cell except for gravity, radiation and bacteria.
leukaemia - 3 - h :
Some bacteria are about 12 times smaller than a white blood cell. whatarebacteria.com, size of bacteria.
leukaemia - 3 - i :
To make leukaemia consisted something needs to be able to read the code by which white blood cells are produced.
leukaemia - 3 - j :
Something needs to reside in the bone marrow for a very long time for it to understand the white blood cell production.
leukaemia - 3 - k :
Once it understood the production process of white blood cells it had to figure out how to alter it.
leukaemia - 3 - l :
Nothing in evolution has worked straight away. The same goes for leukaemia. It must have taken quite some testing time.
leukaemia - 3 - m :
Life itself will never undermine itself, meaning, the bone marrow itself will not create leukaemia by a decision of its own.
leukaemia - 3 - n :
Blood cells got a job to do, they are part of a mechanism. Bacteria, however, need to survive since they are an organism.
leukaemia - 3 - o :
For something wanting to influence the bone marrow for it to produces leukaemia, that something needs to be blood-cell-size.
leukaemia - 3 - p :
It is almost as if leukaemia was created to prevent the fish from crawling onto land and evolve there.
leukaemia - 3 - q :
No better way than to have the bone marrow produce leukaemia in case a life must be dragged down, must be halted so to say.
leukaemia - 3 - r :
Letting the bone marrow produce leukaemia is an intelligent way to stop a person from continuing his life.
leukaemia - 3 - s :
Embedding the code in DNA to produce leukaemia allows leukaemia to start and to continue, to do its job.
leukaemia - 3 - t :
Life cannot do magic like in the Harry Potter movies. The only tools Life has are time and DNA.
leukaemia - 3 - u :
For Life to make alterations in the bone marrow is something that people nowadays are not capable of doing.
leukaemia - 3 - v :
For something to make alterations in the bone marrow, to result in leukaemia, requires full understanding of bio-engineering.
leukaemia - 3 - w :
There is no cancer that is more intelligently bio-engineered than leukaemia. Its kill-rate is impressive.
leukaemia - 3 - x :
Leukaemia is the remnant of the long process of the body trying to get the fish back into the sea.
leukaemia - 3 - y :
Perhaps it was the body that noticed that it had to evolve hugely for it to survive on land: a long, unstable and dangerous process.
leukaemia - 3 - z :
The superior build of sharks is because they evolved in the ocean, and they stayed in the ocean. No need for leukaemia.

leukaemia - 2 - a :
Leukaemia, a wrongfully produced blood cell that starts to reproduce itself.
leukaemia - 2 - b :
Bone marrow, the factory where blood cells are produced. Every factory should have a quality control sooner or later.
leukaemia - 2 - c :
Whether we are Evolution or God-created: the absence of a quality control mechanism for cells in the bone marrow is weird.
leukaemia - 2 - d :
Blood being so vital for a healthy life, yet a quality control that checks the cell prior to releasing it is absent.
leukaemia - 2 - e :
The bone marrow must have quite some faith in its production capabilities for it not to check the produced cells.
leukaemia - 2 - f :
The production of blood cells, one would think that the bone marrow would store its blood-cell-making process in a safe.
leukaemia - 2 - g :
The process in the bone marrow is like a bakery: a certain time is needed for cells to mature, like dough in an oven.
leukaemia - 2 - h :
When the temperature in a bakery's oven is too high or too low, the final product can never come out of the oven as it should.
leukaemia - 2 - i :
Depending on the type of product a bakery is making, different types of oven-times are needed.
leukaemia - 2 - j :
The leukaemia in a person in Europe is roughly the same as leukaemia of a person in China.
leukaemia - 2 - k :
Bread baked at a temperature 15 degrees too low, results in faulty bread in a European oven as it does in a Chinese one.
leukaemia - 2 - l :
For leukaemia to exist in all human races means that it has been around before diversity of humans begun.
leukaemia - 2 - m :
Leukaemia is not a racist, it operates from a perspective of absolute superiority: it can bring every human down on its knees.
leukaemia - 2 - n :
Leukaemia just grabs you and forces you down. Just like Steven Seagal's aikido.
leukaemia - 2 - o :
Leukaemia works on a level which is the foundation of every human being, and from there it brings everyone down. No exceptions.
leukaemia - 2 - p :
Leukaemia does not bother itself with short-sighted racist views, nor with openminded views.
leukaemia - 2 - q :
Leukaemia has the same result on a person's life as a fireplace which is slowly cut off from its oxygen supply: it slowly fades.
leukaemia - 2 - r :
Leukaemia works smooth: before you suspect anything leukaemia has already advanced.
leukaemia - 2 - s :
It is like the bread that comes out of the oven: you only know that something is wrong once it is out of the oven.
leukaemia - 2 - t :
The bakery's oven, like the bone marrow, does not have capabilities to check the quality of the bread.
leukaemia - 2 - u :
Even more so, it is not the responsibility of the oven to check the quality of the bread: it is the baker's responsibility.
leukaemia - 2 - v :
Even if the oven can check the quality of the bread, the oven can still only register it. It is not able to add or remove ingredients.
leukaemia - 2 - w :
The oven can be equipped with additional sensors and control software to correct the wrongfully temperature set by the baker.
leukaemia - 2 - x :
What the oven can never do is improve the dough that is put in the oven. Once the dough is made its quality is what it is.
leukaemia - 2 - y :
From a process point of view, it was never intended for the oven to participate in ensuring the quality of the dough.
leukaemia - 2 - z :
In bio-engineering everything has a purpose, a dedicated job. There is very few backup, if any, when a part fails.

leukaemia - 1 - a :
It is said that sharks are cancer-free. Contemplating their superior build, not getting cancer fits that picture.
leukaemia - 1 - b :
Cancer is about cell-division. Since every living thing has cell-division at its core, all living things can get cancer.
leukaemia - 1 - c :
Because the evolution of sharks started millions of years earlier than Man's, shark-cancer should be more sophisticated.
leukaemia - 1 - d :
Cell-division, it keeps you young. Building Blocks of Life.
leukaemia - 1 - e :
Without proper cell-division every living on this planet will stop to exist.
leukaemia - 1 - f :
Cell-division also takes places in trees and plants. They too have been around for millions of years, just like sharks.
leukaemia - 1 - g :
Trees and plants do not get leukaemia. The same goes for mosquitoes and dragon flies.
leukaemia - 1 - h :
Cancer is the hand of God. Perhaps. That does not mean that we should not look for a cure. Only Death is unquestionable.
leukaemia - 1 - i :
Whether cancer is a tool of God or not does not matter. It is something people can never know for sure.
leukaemia - 1 - j :
With or without a cure for cancer, no one lives a second longer: when it's your time to go, you go. Everybody knows that.
leukaemia - 1 - k :
God being angry because scientists looking for a cure. Not in a million years. God gave us tools and a brain to act.
leukaemia - 1 - l :
God's place. "Hey God, I blocked the scientist who searched for a cure for cancer". God: "Really? Who let you in here?".
leukaemia - 1 - m :
As time passes by, mechanical things break down, biological things get sick.
leukaemia - 1 - n :
There are more than two hundred types of cancer. cancer research uk, what is cancer.
leukaemia - 1 - o :
If one had to engineer cancer, creating more than two hundred different types is not an easy thing to do.
leukaemia - 1 - p :
Fighting cancer is not the same thing as fighting God. Cancer can be fought and overcome, God cannot.
leukaemia - 1 - q :
Cancer is a mechanism that is well thought of: a disease engineered to work on a cell-division level. It's simply high-tech.
leukaemia - 1 - r :
Of all cancers leukaemia is one of the cancers that takes bio-engineering a step further: operate in the blood.
leukaemia - 1 - s :
Create a cancer that can affect the blood and all things in one's body can be reached and affected.
leukaemia - 1 - t :
Leukaemia is the mother of all cancers, like the MOAB being considered the Mother of all bombs.
leukaemia - 1 - u :
The MOAB is raw and comprehensible in its destruction. It is meant to wipe out to the core. businessinsider.nl, the MOAB.
leukaemia - 1 - v :
An atomic bomb is more massive in its destruction than the MOAB. The force of an atomic bomb is difficult to comprehend.
leukaemia - 1 - w :
Leukaemia is limited to devastating a single person. Tuned to each individual, leukaemia works flawless.
leukaemia - 1 - x :
The nature of leukaemia is not to enhance a person's life: it is meant to wear that person down.
leukaemia - 1 - y :
The MOAB, like the atomic bomb, makes use of something that is called the "Mach Stem". businessinsider.nl, the MOAB.
leukaemia - 1 - z :
The "Mach Stem" of leukaemia being that its faulty cells can uphold their fault while going through cell-division.
