Ko Professor Christopher Exley he kai-pūtaiao koiora tino rongonui, ko ia te tohunga rangatira o te ao mō te
konumohe, ā, he Hoa o te Royal Society of Biology – he honore i whiwhi ai e ētahi iti noa o ngā kairangahau.
I tērā tau, i tapahia te pūtea rangahau mō tana mahi roa e pā ana ki te paitini o te konutea.
I rangahau ia i te pānga o tēnei konganuku ki ngā mate pērā i te mate Alzheimer me te āutisma,
me tōna tūranga hei kaiāwhina i ngā werohanga.
Me pēhea i taea ai tēnei?
I roto i tētahi uiui ki a The Epoch Times me The Looking Glass nā te kaituhi a Jackie Black, i kī a Porofesa
Exley kua pau tōna oranga katoa e ngana ana ki te whakautu i tētahi pātai e mura ana:
He aha te tūranga o te konumohe i roto i ā tātou oranga?
I tīmata i ngā tau 1980 i a Exley e rangahau ana he aha i mate ai ngā ika i ngā roto me ngā awa kua tino
waikawa, ā, i mōhio ia i mate rātou i te paitini konumohe.
Kua wātea ki ngā koiora te konumohe, i mau ki roto i ngā toka me ngā onepū i mua, i whakahāngaihia rānei e te waikawa
silika i te taiao; nā te tukanga whākarereketanga waikawa i puta mai i te ua waikawa, ā, kua uru ki te huringa ora koiora.
I tēnei rā, ka kai mātou i te konutea mā ngā kai kua tukatukahia, ka inu hoki i te konutea i roto i tō mātou wai, ā, ka
tunu mātou i ngā ipu me ngā panana konutea, nā te mea he maha ngā panana i hangaia i te konutea anodized.
Ka kitea i roto i te kai pēpi, i ngā whakapaipai, ā, hei kai matua i roto i ngā werohanga maha.
Kua neke atu i te 30 tau a Exley me tana rōpū e whakahaere rangahau ana, ā, kua tuhi rātou
i ngā pepa neke atu i te 200 mō te konumohe.
I te tau 2017, i whakaputaina e Exley tētahi tuhinga pūtaiao i whakaatu i tētahi hononga mārama i
waenga i te paitini konumohe me te mate Alzheimer.
I ngā tau i muri mai, i te tau 2020, i whakaputaina e te rōpū o Exley tā rātou mahi auaha e whakatairite ana i ngā taumata
konumohe i roto i ngā roro o ngā tāngata e pāngia ana e te mate Alzheimer, te mate multiple sclerosis me
te mate autism, i roto i ngā Pūrongo Pūtaiao o Nature.
I kitea he taumata konutea teitei i roto i ngā roro o ngā tāngata e pāngia ana e te mate
Alzheimer, te āutisimi me te mate maha-whakawhāiti.
I te wā i whakaputaina ai tēnei tuhinga, kua huri kē ngā rangahau a Exley ki ngā āpitihanga konumohe me ngā kano
ārai mate, he rāngai rangahau kua whai ia mō ngā tau maha.
I roto i tētahi rangahau i whakaputaina mō te konumohe i roto i ngā werohanga, i tuhi a Exley, i waenga i ētahi atu mea:
He kaiāwhina noa ngā tote konutea i ngā werohanga e hoatu ana ki ngā tamariki.
Hei tauira, kāore ngā tākuta tamariki e whakahaere ana i te hōtaka ārai mate mō ngā tamariki e mōhio ana ki ngā āhuatanga o
ngā āpitihanga konumohe me tō rātou mahi i roto i ngā werohanga.
Nā te mea kua piki haere ngā reiti o te āutisma me te mate Alzheimer mō ngā tekau tau.
I te tau 2021, i pūrongo ngā Pokapū mō te Manaaki me te Ārai Mate, e ai ki ngā raraunga o te tau 2018, tata ki
te kotahi i ia 44 tamariki e waru ō rātou tau i te United States kua tautuhia he mate ā-ahopū auti.
He pikinga nui tēnei ki te rangahau tuatahi mō te āutisma i Amerika i te tau 1970, i kitea ai
he reiti iti iho i te kotahi ki te tekau mano.
I piki ake te reiti o te mate Alzheimer i te neke atu i te 145 ōrau i waenga i te tau 2000 me te tau 2019.
Ahakoa te pikinga ake o ēnei mate, kāore he tangi i puta mai i ngā whakahaere āwhina matua e aro ana ki ēnei mate
mō ngā rangahau a Exley mō te mate Alzheimer me te āutisma.
Ā, i te Whare Wānanga o Keele, i mahi ai ia, i āhua manawanui noa ki a ia, kāore i
whakatairanga i āna kitenga, kāore hoki i tuku pānui pāpāho.
E ai ki a Exley, kāore i te rite ki a Big Pharma me Big Tech, kāore te rōpū pānga konumohe e tino kitea ana,
engari koia pea te mea kaha rawa atu i waenga i a rātou katoa.
Ka mea a Exley, "He 'tuakana' huna ia, kāore e maha ana tana kōrero mō te paitini o te konutea ki te
tangata, engari kei reira tonu ia hei tautoko i ngā ahumahi maha e whakawhirinaki ana ki āna hua."
Nā reira, kāore i tino whakanuia te rangahau hira a te Pōrohitara Exley; i te Hūrae 2021, i tangohia e te
whare wānanga te pūtea mō tana rangahau. I mea a Exley:
"E whakapono ana ahau i hangaia te pēhanga i waho o te whare wānanga."
I hono mātou i te konumohe ki te mate Alzheimer mā te kī atu ki te hunga e whakarongo ana: mēnā kāore he konumohe i tō roro,
kāore koe e pāngia e te mate Alzheimer i roto i tō oranga noa.
Engari e whakapono ana a Exley ko te pūtaiao i whakaputaina e ia me tōna rōpū mō te whakamahi i te konutea hei
āpitihanga ki ngā werohanga, nāna i akiaki ai ngā kaiwhakahaere o Te Whare Wānanga o Keele kia whakamutu i tana reo.
Nō te mea ka hanga e AstraZeneca te werohanga COVID-19 i te papa akoranga o Keele.
Ko Te Pūtea Bill & Melinda Gates, kua nui tana haumi ki ngā rangahau me te whakatairanga i ngā werohanga, he kotahi anō o
ngā kaiwhakarato pūtea o te whare wānanga, e ai ki a Exley.
Ko tā e pā ana ki a Professor Exley he tauira matua o te hītori roa o te aukati i ngā pūtaiao kāore e hāngai ana, me te
whakaparahako i te hunga e ū ana ki te whai i ēnei rangahau.
I te pātai me pēhea e taea ai te whakatika i tēnei pūnaha pakaru, ka mea ia:
"Kāore e taea e te pūtaiao te puāwai ina puta mai ngā pūtea i ngā ahumahi, i te kāwanatanga, me ngā whakahaere
atawhai nui, he nui ā rātou ake painga, ā, kāore e taea te whakawhirinaki ki a rātou. "
Kua reti a Exley ināianei, ahakoa e ai ki a ia ka tīmata anō ia i āna rangahau i ngā wā katoa ina whiwhi pūtea.
