We're Going to Need Researchers

[Smellyorus]

We can hypothesize and try every cure in the world but it's going to be tough without scientific evidence. I think the Aurametrix study was a step in the right direction but we need many more studies and sufficient funding to crack this mystery. I urge the young people including myself to go to school and get relevant degrees. We have to take this matter into our own hands. I've been going back in time and reading old threads, including the 45 page behemoth, and I came across this from 2015 that still resonates:

"Our problem is that we don’t know what the patm molecule is. Had we known what it is, the problem is over. To begin to understand patm, we have to identify what the airborne molecule is, that causes allergies on other people. The easiest and probably the only way of isolating that from other molecules, is to have a patmer breath test using specialized equipment and compare it to a normal person’s VOCs. PATM molecules are expected to exist in the blood, sweet, breath etc. so any bodily fluid test is fine. However, taking VOCs test on breath will isolate further to a narrower group.

The obstacle is that the equipment is very expensive and complicated for use by amateurs and undergrads. It’s only available to postgrad researchers. The solution for us therefore is a long commitment of studying all the way through college… unless if one is capable of intimidating a PH.D expert to do it for us but I doubt that can ever happen. I know how experts can be very arrogant. I know nobody wants to hear that, neither do I, but the data we’ve collected so far suggest it’s the only solution. There are guys here whom suffered for 20 - 40 yrs and tried almost everything but failed. It’s because we don’t understand what PATM is. To understand PATM, we have to understand the fundamentals of medicine and the human body. The fundamentals is however microscopic, but to understand the microscopic world needs years of training through college. Therefore the possibility of being diagnosed successfully by ourselves, given that none of us has any relevant degrees, is almost zero.

Take TMAU for example. There was no possibility for a group of average Joes to decipher the problem at all. Even with all the information on the internet, including the human genome and all the genes it contained, no average joe could have identified the bad gene/group of genes or even knew it was genetic at all. The problem existed long ago but no one had any idea what it was. They tried swallowing/drinking all kind of stuff to fix themselves without any success. It was a puzzle and impossible for them to fix themselves. Many resorted to religious and occult explanations because they were confused. The solution had to come from trained experts because the problem was too abstract and microscopic. Had experts not discover TMAU, sufferers would still be considered today as unclean mental patients. Sufferers would still complain in forums about their unexplained problem while the rest of the world torment them by telling them to scrub themselves more and visit the mental ward more often.

Hence the solution to patm is to identify the patm molecule itself, and there’s only one way to test for that."

Researchers cost money. We'll need at least $500,000 USD for researchers to work comfortably. We might as well just donate to MeBO and give our specific demands but I don't think anyone here has that kind of money.

MeBO is continuing their research with samples from our group so we'll just have to keep a close watch for further reporting. As the doctor said, it might take months, years because it all depends on funding. They don't have a lot of donors because TMAU2, PATM, Halitosis etc. are rare and nobody wants anything to do with it. We are like outcasts.
