About Me

Heidi Lindborg
Tucson, AZ, United States
I obsess about obsession because it seems like the best use of the pathology.
Not that I really have any choice...


I believe that the majority of mental illness is secondary symptoms of common chronic infections. I was a medical librarian, and now I just pretty much constantly research sleep disorders, depression, mania and dementia. This is where I collect my accumulating hypotheses and try to document the atrocities occurring daily in the Infection Industrial Complex.
My goal is not to convince you that my ideas are right, but to show you there is more than one way to interpret scientific data.
Update:
After fifteen years of this, I finally think I am right.

Fun with Zombipathy

A hearty recommendation for this quirky zombie movie: Perfect Sense

"A chef and a scientist fall in love as a mysterious epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions."

Almost perfect.

Children of Men is one you
should probably check out too.

All That Jazz by Bob Fosse is the greatest Zombie movie ever made.

Never Forget

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." - Marcus Aurelius
