Actually; If you find the cure, you can make a buck -- ONLY IF YOU CAN
PATENT IT!
People are not interested in researching diseases that are not profitable...
for those patients, treating the symptoms is more profitable. You, the
patient, or the family member must become the doctor.

Fortunately, I have possibly your answer, and if not, at least a direction
to take.
Go to www.vitaganza.com and purchase WOBENZYM

It is THE BEST NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT in existence, don't even bother with
substitutes. This is an enzyme supplement that has 5 top-tier enzymes that
when ingested, they proceed to break down longer protein chains and turn
them into enzymes. This ultimately creates a cascading effect of creating
over 2000 separate enzymes that then go through your body and fix damage, so
back pain, muscle pain, knots in your back, surgery... this helps fix ALL
DAMAGE in your body (Damage that is possible to repair). Every cell in your
body, every nerve fiber, everything requires enzymes to function. The
Cartilage in your body is the largest avascular, aneural and alymphatic
tissue in your body. It is kept alive by being bathed in enzymes (anyhow, I
digress).

Kristian, I have hacked problems like this before, Wobenzym will help both
your brother and your friend. It may not be the silver bullet but it will
definitely help, no question about that.

Gaucher's Disease:
Enzyme Replacement Therapy (WOBENZYM)
Enzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases did not become a
reality until the early 1990s when its safety and effectiveness were
demonstrated in type 1 Gaucher disease. Today, ERT is a reality for Gaucher
disease, Fabry disease and mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I), and
clinical trials with recombinant human enzymes are ongoing in Pompe disease.

LCH:
Wobenzym will help, but what may help even more is Guaifenesin tablets. THIS
IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR TRADITIONAL THERAPY, keep going to the doc, and
take this stuff.
http://www.guaifenesin.com/guaishop.htm

If you want to hack the problem, you need to be willing to be the guinea
pig, the lab rat. Seek the care of licensed, trained doctors as you normally
would, but don't listen to the pooh-poohing they give on natural,
nutritional, or over-the-counter remedies.

I personally take both Wobenzym and Guaifenesin to overcome some serious
ailments that were uncurable by modern medicine, and was forced to
medicate the symptoms.

I hope this information helps you, and helps other people on the list who
see this.

 Some interesting discussion came up on some security lists this week
 and it got me to thinking. Yes, hacking software is lame. Cool, so
 you found some vulnerabilities in some widely distributed application,
 service, or OS and it is patched just as quickly. Why don't we spend
 our time and valuable energy researching cures for rare or popular
 diseases instead? For instance, my brother (Jon Hermansen) has a very
 rare disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. It is also better
 known as LCH. It can be identified as causing such further diseases
 as Diabetes Insipidus, which is also uncommon (not sugar diabetes).
 Have you heard of these diseases before? Let me educate you.

 And even worse than this, a friend of mine who is a PhD student in
 Math at Berkeley has an even rarer disease known as Gaucher's Disease.
 This costs $550,000 / year to treat. That's a hefty bill every year
 (you make that much doing security vulns?), and some insurance
 companies might refuse to accept you due to pre-existing conditions.
 So guess what, my friend does not have health insurance and has not
 been treated for two years. A genius might die. That's ludicrous.

I notice that you didn't mention any rare disease that none of your
friends or relatives have.

Why is it that all of these altruistic people seem to never give a
crap until it happens to them?  Did Michael J Fox give one thin dime
to Parkinsons until he had it?  How about Christopher Reeves and
spinal injury/stem cell?

I'd much rather make my money, and donate to non-profit orgs that do
things that I am interested in.

 And even worse than this, a friend of mine who is a PhD student in
 Math at Berkeley has an even rarer disease known as Gaucher's Disease.
  This costs $550,000 / year to treat.  That's a hefty bill every year
 (you make that much doing security vulns?), and some insurance
 companies might refuse to accept you due to pre-existing conditions.
  So guess what, my friend does not have health insurance and has not
 been treated for two years.  A genius might die.  That's ludicrous.

 If we consider ourselves decent hackers, why don't we put our
 efforts toward helping cure this and other diseases rather than some
 very simple programming vulnerability?  Is it because then we would
 have to reinvent a whole new slew of tools and re-orient/re-educate
 ourselves to be successful?  Think about it…

 I notice that you didn't mention any rare disease that none of your

 Why is it that all of these altruistic people seem to never give a
 crap until it happens to them?  Did Michael J Fox give one thin dime
 to Parkinsons until he had it?  How about Christopher Reeves and
 spinal injury/stem cell?

 I'd much rather make my money, and donate to non-profit orgs that do
 things that I am interested in.

You make some great points -- but I think you jumped the gun on
assuming I am evil.  Friends and people who know me understand that I
am active in many circles, offering help to those in need.  I highly
encourage you to do the same so that we can live in a world where
people are friendlier and healthier.  The world is what we make of it,
and I always disliked the hostility in the security and free software
communities.  Everyone should be nicer to each other and not bash
people when they ask simple questions, even if they haven't read the
manual...
