Why does the idea of "family" and/ or "familial 'love'" disgust me?


The love/relationship between parent/chid, sibling/sibling, child/garndparent etc. seems to really disgust me. Could this be a symptom of something? I know I am not a sociopath.

Maybe because you havent truly experience it yet.

I always thought having a kid would be a waste of money and time, but i got a younger brother that is pretty much like my kid and let me tell you, just watching him smile or seeing him experience something new just makes my day.

Wait until the time comes, youll understand.  (+ info)

I'm wondering how much autism is familial and how much is paternal age related etc.?


I have heard that only a small percentage of autism is familial autism, meaning the dad was in his twenties and there were other relatives or siblings who are autistic.

Anybody know how much is related to father's 33 and above with no family history?
So many genetic disorders have both paternal age and familial versions.

What do you think about the latest from
Pub Med???
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=17346999&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsum
----------

And how much is a combination of the both?

And how much do external factors influence a child's likelihood of becoming autistic? (Vaccinations would be one theory)

I don't understand how the father's age factors into the equation. I wonder if it could be "familial" AND paternal age related. A father could inherite a gene which is more fragile & more likely to not be duplicated properly as he is older. IF that is the case, it could be both - not either/or.

And since 25% of all autistic children developed normally for the first year then regress before the 2nd b-day, that may imply something external triggers the autism.

And there seem to be different genes involved in male autism versus female autism. That is why it is especially rare to have male female autistic children in the same family.

So with the different levels of autism, different age onsets of autism, different genders and all the other differences out there, the familial factor, paternal age factor & external factors may weigh in differently.

So rather than answer your question, I just brought in more questions.

Confusing, heh?  (+ info)

Do you know what would prevent non-familial genetic diseases in your children?


I asked about non-familial genetic disease. So it is de novo, not in the somatic cells of the parents. Spontaneous or sporadic.

If it's genetic, the most you can do is amnio testing when the fetus is in your womb. You can prevent neurological disorders and disabilities by avoiding alcohol, taking prenatal vitamins, and generally living a smoke-free and healthy lifestyle.  (+ info)

Is there any cure or treatments for amyloid/multiple myeloma?


Extraordinary medical breakthroughs have been occurring for the last ten years secondary to new windows into our genes. Most of these breakthroughs are not yet available in most nations due to testing protocols. People can possibly receive some of these new advanced therapies, though, in clinical trials being conducted as we speak. But, I am now retired and I am not familiar at all with whatever research is being conducted related to this disease. I strongly recommend that you actively investigate clinical trials not only in your own nation but in all nations of the world. Where you live may not matter in many trials. The treatment would be free. Here is the best portal for such therapeutic research opportunities in the U.S.:
