  • Engineers are problem solvers, and our own health is full of problems to be engineered. In this episode we discuss drug discovery and drug delivery. We’ll explore everything from classical and reverse pharmacology to the new field of synthetic biology. We’ll also look at how important good disease detection is and why we need more targeted drug delivery systems.

    Capsaicin IS the component in peppers that creates the burning sensation. Isolating it dose nothing to "stop the burning effects that other parts of the peppers can cause". It DOES allow it to be repackaged and rebased to allow for delivery mechanisms that may be more effective or less irritating than eating hot peppers, which I'm guessing was your actual point.

      *Probably the people who work in medicine and drug development. I and other commenters I've seen have been underwhelmed by videos covering our fields of expertise. Reasons range from inaccuracies in the script to very misleading graphics drawn by artists instead of engineers to videos whose content didn't really even match the title. In this series, Crash Course covers entire industries and fields of research with less detail and diligence than they treated single movies in Crash Course Film Criticism.*

      If you talk about scaling up the production of pharmaceutical drugs in production, yes. But the key part involving R&D to discover new drugs belongs to scientists, not engineers. If people who solves problems by discovering new drugs are called engineers, then the chemists, biologists and clinician scientist are called pharmaceutical engineers. Doctors who solve the problem of illness in patients are called medical engineers. Just ask people in the field which is the more correct term.

    Dear editors, Could you allow the woman to finish the sound of a word before cutting to the next one? This is something that's all too common on these and associated channels. The clips are cut so close together that it's like reading the script without commas, pause or even breathing! If it's cool and trendy, cut it out. It's simply annoying and reduces comprehension.

      To be clear, I never insulted you. I just stated my opinion based on the evidence I have seen.
      Actually, I have done some research on the matter. A meta-analysis was conducted in 2014, even though they reported better pain management, they stated that the current evidence doesn't support recommending it for clinical use.
      Also, a 2018 systematic review stated that it had a positive effect on pain. But here is the kicker. The 4 RTCs included in that paper stated that both the treatment group and control group stayed on their opioid medications. So that tosses out your claim about not needing drugs.
      Basically, it is a placebo effect with short term benefits and claiming we don't need drugs at all after a hand full of poorly designed studies is insane.

      there are studies of real time cameras showing a tumor being shrunken by the use of energy work. our body is fully capable of doing everything we need to survive. our emotions are the cause of illness. misaligned energy points. so yes it will seem temporary if we don’t actively change why these things occur; the root issue or our emotions/thought patterns, toxic habits, even the way we eat.
      illness is low vibrations/energies. the body is sick; so raising the vibration of that body part (reiki) will cause the body to HEAL ITSELF. in no way is reiki the thing to heal or fix, it’s our body, but reiki raises its vibration to fight off the low vibrational illnesses
