Episode 24 of Through the Gates aired via Soundcloud and iTunes Sunday, August 7.
This week, we heard from Nancy Wexler, a leading geneticist and neuropsychologist whose research led to the identification of the Huntington’s disease gene. Her research has also led to the discovery of the genes responsible for familial Alzheimer’s disease, kidney cancer, two types of neurofibromatosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and dwarfism.
In spring 2016, Wexler received the inaugural Hermann J. Muller Award, which is named for a renowned geneticist, a Nobel Laureate, a social activist and an esteemed IU Bloomington faculty member (1945-67). The Muller award and lecture series recognizes luminary international geneticists whose discoveries, like Muller’s, have or are making a significant impact on the field of genetics and society.

read through with interest. I once believed Huntington’s disease has no cure. Well, it is true with English medicine, but not with herbal medicine. My Dad’s experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through herbs. My Father was a vibrant man before his encounter with Huntington’s. He was a scientist, hence his mental capability was never in doubt. In 2015, he was diagnosed with Huntington’s. The symptoms manifested through repeating conversation and gradually forgetting things. It became progressive from finding the right words during a conversation, to significant confusion and forgetting details about himself. It was not a good experience, seeing your father whose brilliance had no match, totally became a shadow of himself. His doctors said the disease has no cure, just medications for treatment which had a lot of side effects were administered to him. Early 2018, while on the internet, I bumped into a story of Huntington’s, and I read about a cure through herbs with interest. I researched more to be sure it was not a hoax. In my quest, I contacted doctor Bharat herbs mentioned in the testimony. I got his herbal medicine for my father.. It’s been 3 years and he is perfectly okay and back to his laboratory work even at old age. For your loved ones with Huntington’s or Dementia, take them off English medicine and use Dr. Bharat herbal treatment. Dr. Bharat can be reached through dr.bharatkings@gmail.com
