Researcher Claims Chinese CRISPR Babies Could Have Enhanced Learning Capacity

Twin girls from China unwittingly made history last year by becoming the world's first gene-edited babies. But it is the story of the scientist who performed the procedure, He Jiankui, that has grabbed headlines. As a result of his "irresponsible" actions, he has been shunned by colleagues, put under house arrest, and placed under investigation. He used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to modify the twins' DNA and grant them resistance to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can develop into AIDs. The entire operation took place before the twins, Lulu and Nana, were even born – while they were still technically human embryos. However, disabling the gene CCR5 may have done more than simply immunize them against HIV. If new research is anything to go by, the removal of said gene may have given the twins a memory boost and revved up their learning potential. A similar process has already been shown to improve recovery in stroke patients and make mice more brainy. Read full article....

Living with HIV was one of the hardest experiences of my life. The fatigue, the emotional toll, and the uncertainty about the future weighed on me every single day. I had tried many treatments and medications, but nothing seemed to restore my health or energy the way I hoped.Out of both hope and desperation, I came across NaturePath Herbal Clinic. At first, I was skeptical but something about their natural approach and the powerful stories I read gave me the courage to try one more time.I began their herbal treatment program, and within a few weeks, I noticed small but meaningful changes more energy, better sleep, and a stronger immune system. Over the months, those improvements only grew. Today, I can truly say my life has changed. I feel healthier, more balanced, and finally in control of my well-being again.This isn’t just a testimony it’s a heartfelt recommendation to anyone living with HIV or any chronic condition. Don’t give up hope. I’m so grateful I gave NaturePath Herbal Clinic a chance. Visit their website to learn more: www.naturepathherbalclinic.com Email: info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
