Daily Good News 20: On the verge of a medical breakthrough

Peeking at the stats, DGN is doing pretty well for itself. I really think it can lead this blog to some great heights. I want to first start this post by saying, at the end of the post, there will be a poll asking what you like about DALANEL. Please vote. Right now, there are only three features active on DALANEL. I’m thinking about a fourth one that will be weekly on Thursday but we’ll see.

Ah, words of wisdom. It would be really interesting if he’s the one sharing his cookie vs just being a monster about it.

These stories help us with the Philippians 4:13 thing: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Indeed, even as I type this, I am being attacked…well, my laptop is. I’ve simply come too far to be stopped.

A 16 year old worked hard to afford his iPad. Next thing you know, it accidentally gets burned in a fired pit. Long story short, a stranger found out about it, and gave the teen a gift card to Best Buy to buy a new one.

This is some fascinating news.

Boffins in Canterbury say they have developed a cancer-detecting breath test machine that could save millions of lives. They claim it can detect the very earliest stages of a wide range of cancers, long before any symptoms appear.

Man, if this works that’s huge.

Okay, that’s all I got for ya.

Daily Good News 15

It’s the last month of the year. Let’s see if we can make this the best month of the year.

Are you ready for the latest news? Of course you are!

A man faces two miracles. After getting shot four times while serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, doctors said walking and having kids was pretty close to impossible. Well, Mr. Williams didn’t care. He stepped and humped his was to a miracle.

Doctors told the 29-year-old, who was a corporal in the Queen Alexandria’s Royal Army Nursing Corps, that there was only a five per cent chance of him having kids and almost no chance of walking again.

However Mr Williams, from Islands Brow in Merseyside, can walk short distances with a leg brace and his fiancée Sharon Shaw, also 29, is now six months pregnant.

Yay. Congrats and thanks for your service.

Well, this is something you might have heard about. Apparently, we’re close to a cure for HIV:

Efforts to cure HIV in the past have been thwarted by the virus’s ability to lie dormant inside blood cells without being detected. The new therapy combines standard antiretroviral drugs with two new weapons: a drug that reactivates dormant HIV, and a vaccine that induces the immune system to destroy the infected cells.

Fifty patients in the early stages of HIV infection will take part in the trial. The researchers hope that within months, the stores of hidden HIV in these patients – called the HIV reservoir – will be significantly reduced. They expect to know the results in 2017.

Great. I have one comment but, you would think I’m a party pooper. Let’s just be happy!

A man lost both of his arms in an accident. Thanks to a double arm transplant, he’s back to his old…or new…self:

A Mexican man who received a double arm transplant has now begun to feel his hands after losing both his arms from suffering severe electric shock. Gabriel Granados, a 52-year-old father of two, became the first double arm transplant recipient in Latin America in May 2012.

Nice. The arms came from a 34 year old. Turning back the clock or something.

Okay, well, that’s all for today!
