Ancient genomes reveal an Iron Age society centred on women
'Obelisks': Entirely New Class of Life Has Been Found in The Human Digestive System
More and diffeent germs. yay.
United States dementia cases estimated to double by 2060
I don't think so. Alzheimer's is pretty easy to solve. I assume many other microbes do similar things though.
Like Covid. It causes amyoid production too. It's going to cause a lot of mental problems in the near future.
Pete Hegseth says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years'
Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing". Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.
That's Trump's Nominee for Secretary of Defense. He's going to be in charge of bioweapon detection??? Military readiness? Troop health?
Horrifying.
oh, my brain...
Man says 2 of his cats died after drinking raw milk recalled for bird flu
Speaking of faces full of endotoxin:
Matt Gaetz is selling Ivermectin. Fuckin predator.
This is something I wrote about ten years ago:
Germs that kill you aren’t usually very successful.
They get a lot of attention. They motivate people to avoid them. Pretty sure you’ve heard of Ebola.
Over time they also kill off all the susceptible people and leave the ones who are immune. Burn themselves out.
Really successful microbes don’t kill you. You don’t even know they’re there.
They're insidious.
Either they're imperceptible, or intermittent, or the symptoms are variable.
So you don't ever notice that you're infected.
For that reason, some of them are now ubiquitous.
Everyone has them. Everyone has them all over.
There are many organisms that live within us and are known to cause long term complications. Many of them are also found in people with those chronic illnesses. The problem is- the correlation between them is often not at a statistically significant level. Since there are often many ways to get the same effect, most medical studies are flawed.
The statistical requirements to prove validity assume a minimum threshold of relevance.
Experiments generally assume a one to one relationship between factors. Unless they are specifically designed for an interaction- they do not detect multiple causes. If x or y cause z, and you're only testing for x, well you're half right, but your results will not register statistically.
Similarly if x and y together cause z, your results will show no correlation.
Conversely, this is also true if your illness has multiple or variable effects. If you are only looking for a subset of the possibilities, your experiment will not show a relationship.
Likewise, they do not account for less than threshold activity. If your illness is extremely mild or intermittent, it will never be statistically relevant in a study. They just won't even see it.
Update:
PG fits all these criteria. It masks itself by altering the immune response and reducing pain- making people think it's harmless. It combines with other microbes to create many different effects. It alternates between acute and chronic symptoms...that is why it is everywhere.
It is also why my brain sounded like a casino when I read the PG review article. It rang all my bells at once. At 2am…
P. gingivalis needs iron to survive. Apparently it can dissolve stainless steel. It increases growth in the presence of stainless steel. Like dental appliances. Braces. Implant screws.
Not to mention: Most pathogenic bacteria scavenge iron.
(insert roll-eyes and curse words here.)
Results suggest that structural brain variability, including larger overall brain volumes and regionally thinner prefrontal cortex, may predispose youth to begin using substances such as alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis before age 15. These structural differences were observed prior to substance use, indicating they reflect a preexisting state, potentially risk factors rather than consequences of substance exposure.
Now that I have pretty much satisfied most of my personal medical obsessions- I am going to turn my gaze on the one I think causes the most problems in the world: Men’s obsession with their dicks.
It’s pathological. It has destroyed civilized society.
Here’s my hypothesis: Your penises are never happy because you don’t know how they work. They are mistreated and abused. They become impaired.
First of all, most of them have been chronically infected by germs that live in saliva. Do the math.
P. gingivalis impairs the sensory nerves in the skin. That’s a big problem. Sexual success is dependent on the ability to perceive pressure and vibrations.
It also causes inflammation in the tissues. Which is irritating. Abrasions then allow the germs into blood vessels, and they get less elastic.
It also gets in the ducts and impairs the draining function.
I wouldn't be surprised if it traveled to your spine and gave you all that back pain...
Secondly, you don’t know how to operate them properly. You’re terrible drivers.
Orgasm does not just occur in the genitals. It also drains the glands in the face and throat. You never ever include that in your workout. There are vibration sensors in your nasal sinuses too. You must move your head and neck, you need to stretch your face and tongue. If you synchronize this with your hips, you will be able to drain your cranium and relax completely. Yes it looks stupid, but it’s important.
It’s not a wonder you people are never happy.
Stop blaming women. You’re the ones suffering from Hysterical Suffocation. Y'all should have figured that out a long time ago. Try some curcumin soap and lotion instead. Reduce your inflammation and infectious burden. Fix your nasty teeth, they impair your facial nerves. Clean your mouth and nose before sex too.
And please, stop doing weird anti-masturbation rituals. It’s quite healthy and satisfying if you do it right.
(for the record, I'm pretty sure you're going to want your children to have a vaccine for this...)
If you are young and your habenula is slightly overactive, you will get more neural punishment for things that you do wrong. So you will learn faster. Adults will call you gifted.
If your pain sensation then diminishes, you will not feel the pain from doing dangerous things.
So you do more difficult things. And you get positive reinforcement. And less fear.
Then you do riskier things. Until the things you do are harmful to others or yourself.
Then you get told no. And your habenula freaks out because it’s been getting more active the whole time.
So, since you’re so smart, and inexperienced, you think you’re right and figure out ways not to get caught. And suppress your habenula with drugs. And then everyone tells you that you are stupid.
And you become motivated to prove them wrong. For your whole life, if necessary.
I have seen the most amazing things on live TV.
The moon landing
The Challenger Explosion
The Towers falling on 9-11
I stayed up for 24 hours watching the fall of the Berlin Wall on CNN. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
It is why the lefties are mourning.
It is also what the billionaires and oligarchs fear. Our deep instinctual desire to help eachother…
When we are not desperately sick.
My mother was born in Germany in 1941. We visited once a year during the 1960’s and 70’s. I can tell you none of those people had dentistry before or after the war. It was a land of zombies. All of Europe was. Infections everywhere.
This shit is untrue. Archaeological evidence shows most large societies collapsed due to epidemics. He knows nothing about humans.
Do you see what they have done? They have exploited your impaired pain perception, broken your bodies and destroyed your ability to heal. And then they act surprised when the problems get worse and blame you when you take drugs, become homeless and commit suicide….
A lot of your post service problems are caused by lack of
routine hygiene. You guys need
structure or you will forget to do it. It exacerbates your stress reactions. It makes living super difficult.
You come home and “take a break”. You deserve it. You sleep late, you don’t shower, you don’t
go outside. You drink, you smoke, you
eat junk, you don’t brush your teeth for a weekend. And Monday you’re already in the
vortex. In the inflammation zone. In the depression zone. In the twilight zone.
It’s that fast. It’s
that easy. You won’t even feel it. If you have one nasty tooth socket it’s
practically inevitable. The bad dreams
will start and your mind will close.
If you have other injuries, you have to remember to
rehabilitate your mouth as well. Do not
let your doctors neglect your oral care.
Get appropriate dentistry and antimicrobial products.
Everyone else:
Demand that these people get some stable housing and proper care so they
can heal. WTF.
(for the record, the other guy had dental problems too. Just not as noticable on a photo. He'd been spiralling for a while.)
Okay, I am really going to need all you grad students to stop this symptom correlation shit.
Loneliness linked to higher risk of heart disease and stroke and susceptibility to infection
No. Infection is a cause of heart disease and stroke and exhaustion and despair.
The pathology always always always comes before the emotion.
There are plenty more microbial interactions to research. Work on that matrix instead.
US surgeon general urges cancer warnings for alcoholic drinks
"Alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, after tobacco and obesity," Murthy's office said in a statement...
Mmmmm, they're half right. It's interesting that they chose the path of patient blaming...
(Because they know it won't work. Never has.)
I don’t think you mouthy young men understand that in the world you desire, you would never get married or have sex with any gender. You would die on a battlefield. Or be maimed. Right out of high school.
That’s the classic method rich men use to alter the sex ratio. And get richer.
Read some fucking history. Hell, watch some videos. Talk to some Viet Nam Vets. Pay attention to current events, just a little bit. War is not glamorous.
Then shut up, play video games, “watch” a plethora of porn, and count your blessings. The simple fact is : the longer you live, the higher your chance of finding a partner.
Stop listening to people who are actively hoping you will exit the gene pool. Even without a war. Seriously, natural immunity and raw milk is all they need...
