Quick question, how old is your sister? The thing is that I have a prototype version of the cure, but it doesn't work well with people with young age. If you are interested, I can tell you more about it. -r
| She is fourteen.
In fact she's more mature than me in a way. She knows how expensive the easy way is and would risk the long and painful one to let us go on normally.
I cannot really make any big decisions either, but I'll ask my parents regarding your prototype cure!
| >>196247 Thank you. your sister is young but she's already taken responsibility. that is very honorable.
PS: Once you have your parents' permissions, we can talk about the cure.
-r
| >>196247
I would reccomend Biological treatment over any other way.
I have only known a few who survived Serum treatment, and they hated every second it took.
As for the funds, you could always raise some money, charity is not yet dead on this world line.
-John Titor
| >>196264 Agreed. However Titor, I worked with corporation for some time, and I distrust their cure, so I came up with a simpler and more efficient cure.
My solution is to make the body and the nanomachines adapt to each other first. First, the cure contains nano that modifies the behavior of other nanos, lessening the impact of the nano has on the body. Secondly, the cure will trigger a genetic reaction to the nano, then find those that reacts strongly and splices them.
| >>196283
What is your name? Your cure reminds me of something I have heard before, in another world line.
-JT
| >>196291 It's Runa. If you hear anything about that other cure, please tell me. It is still in its development phrase.
| Anyways, despite the advantages of the cure, it is not cost-effective. It requires one every ~20 years, since human DNA mutates over time and stuff. The corps treatment are effective, but they splice carelessly, causing potential to mutate and other side effects. I used to "work" with "Zaibatsu" after all.
| >>196295
The cure I know was not developed by Zaibatsu, but the name Runa is one I have heard before.
It was finished and cost efficient in the year 2267, so it is yet a long way, but I could perhaps offer pointers.
-JT
| >>196307 Please give me pointers, Suzu- I meant Titor! I would really appreciate it , and maybe perfect the cure sooner than 2267. Huh. It's weird hearing myself in a different universe...
| >>196318
It is impossible to escape Convergence, but I have not yet observed the future of this world, our meeting may have been predetermined, and the cure may come sooner than anticipated.
-JT
| OP here, My parents managed to convince my sister that we just go and do the expensive treatment for her. Mom said, we could just stand it through together, and a little bit of a financial burden wouldn't be worse than a daughter trapped in a hospital for years, losing half of what she already lived.
It makes me really happy to know that people are working on making it even easier to survive with NRS though, so.. Thank you two, and best of luck JT and Runa!
| thanks. I'll try my best to work hard on it.
-r
| They will pick her up and get her to the hospital tomorrow. As far as I understood she'll get a bunch of special nanomachines that will rewrite her cells or something like that? I'm not good with all this human body stuff.
But from what they told us she will be away for about a month, and we can even visit her. After a few days of treatment she will be in the process of curing until all defense reactions die down.
There's still a slim chance for tokyo flu, but much less..
| I mean otherwise the chance exists every single day during treatment.
At least I can literally visit her every day, so I'm happy with this!
Also in terms of finances, my dad actually has a friend who offered me to work for him a little! He's from a small company that builds vending machines. I'm actually pretty good fiddling with those, so it seems I will tend to repairs and improvements for certain models. Who knows, maybe even a carreer chance!
| >>198004
Do you mean the method I use? Well it's just repeated experimentation on a ton of rats trying to find what reacts to what, then implementing them. But I'm stuck so yeah, might try different methods.
>>198993 I wish you and your family the best of luck!
-r
| OP again, update time: They came and took her away today morning. We won't be allowed to visit her until late into the evening today, because they'll start treating her immediately, but afterwards it should only take days until she should stop being in pain and all that.
I'll keep you posted the next two or three days until she is better!
Thank you all again for your support, it means the world to me!
| OP once more, also guess who fixed that pesky vending machine that would menacingly shoot lasers around if you didn't laugh at it's puns ;)

| So, my sister recently got diagnosed with NRS and the big thing is, we could afford genetic treatment for her, but she doesn't want us to. Sure it would be a serious blow and we all might have to work like 7 times as hard to not literally eat nutrient paste, but I mean she's my sister, you know?
I heard the serum method is really dangerous..
What do you guys think is best? Mom and Dad are.. well mature about it. Sure finances, but.. I don't want her to die.
Sorry for the rant...
