Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.n the UK, osteopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) , and is different from conventional western medicine. Although osteopaths may use some conventional medical techniques, the use of osteopathy isn't always based on scientific evidence.
The Alzheimer's mutation, a change in a single chemical, was found on chromosome 21. Many researchers had suspected that a gene might lie on that chromosome because people with Down syndrome, who have an extra copy of chromosome 21, almost always develop Alzheimer's disease.
How Human Genetic Engineering Could Cure Alzheimer's Disease. written by: Paul Arnold â¢edited by: Paul Arnold â¢updated: 12/13/2009. Alzheimer's disease is a common cause of dementia. Currently there are treatments that slow its progression, but there is no cure.This article looks at Alzheimer's disease stages and how genetic engineering could be used to treat and possibly cure this debilitating condition.slide 1 of 4.lthough science is a long way off from finding a cure, genetic engineering could provide the answers. Alzheimer's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells. They die and cannot be replaced, and the brain shrinks.
