Diabetes in adults nearly doubles worldwide, study suggests

I believe this is caused by rampant over-prescription of antibiotics that don't kill P. gingivalis.

The thirty years that doctors told us to eliminate fat and eat carbs didn't help either.

Honestly

The man is certifiably insane.  He's had a fucking worm eat his brain.   He eats wild animals all the time.   Who knows what else is living inside that toxic bag of protoplasm????

Back to the Matrix

Multiple Sclerosis- I think this is one way MS could be caused:  P. gingivalis interacting with Epstein-Barr Virus.

 Effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis on the central nervous system: 

The present study provides evidence that infection with a periodontal pathogen, such as P. gingivalis, may play a role in the pathogenesis of CNS inflammatory disorders such as MS.

Study identifies how Epstein-Barr virus triggers multiple sclerosis

A new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in the brain and spinal cord, leading the immune system to mistakenly attack the body’s nerve cells.

Relationship between Porphyromonas gingivalis, Epstein-Barr virus infection and reactivation in periodontitis

These findings suggest that the interaction between EBV and P. gingivalis is bi-directional, with EBV reactivation suppressing host defenses and permitting overgrowth of P. gingivalis, and P. gingivalis having the potential to induce EBV reactivation.

More thoughts on Archaeology

For the record, the large room at Karahan Tepe is an industrial kitchen.  I have remodeled 18 kitchens.   I know a kitchen when I see one.

There is a fireplace.  The pit outside is a water reservoir.  Those are not benches around the edge, those are counters for baskets and grinders.  Ancient people sat on the floor.

It's a grain processing center.  The small pillared room had a floor on top and was heated for malting the grain.  It probably had a chute to go into the big room at one time.   The depressions in the stone around the pit were probably to hold posts for scaffolding.  Bags of grain were dunked in there before malting.  

These people were drinking a lot of beer...

The weird pillared room in Gobekli Tepe is probably where the circumcisions were done.   It's so fancy. Super High Tech.  Has a Secret Tunnel. Ambient lighting. Weird acoustics.  Definitely designed by a man.

Giant Hard Penises

An alternative explanation of Neolithic Stone Phalluses

Statues like this were made and distributed all over the Zagros plain all of a sudden at the beginning of agriculture.  This one is at Karahan Tepe.

Why are they associated with grain harvesting sites? What were they trying to say? 

You boys sure have a lot of unsurprising ideas about that.

I’m going to speculate it was in response to a real crisis.   That they started eating less meat and drank way more alcohol.   The transfer over to grain based diet not only shifted their carb balance, it also introduced gluten and fungus(yeast).   P. gingivalis stuck to their teeth and ate into their faces and hearts and brains and private parts.

We know a predictable complication of this infection is diabetes.   And erectile dysfunction is a complication of diabetes. So is wasting.  This is a monument to an epidemic.

Maybe all those glorious stone images were used to pray for an erection.    Or for relief from phimosis.   It seems obvious that was a problem too.  We all had to learn the biblical myth.  The town of Haran first appears in the Book of Genesis  as Abraham's temporary home. Haran is currently identified with Harran, now a village of Sanlıurfa, Turkey.  Cha-ching.  

Those are the Temples of Diabetes.   I'll just assume that they made offerings of bread and beer...

I suggest that during the ensuing perpetual violent conflicts in that area, this less-than-heroic backstory for ritual circumcision has been obscured.   And it looks like that was deliberate.   All of the sites were buried.

Prehistoric penile plague plausible deniability?  Now that's believable.

I wouldn't be surprised if the evidence disappears again.  

Same as it ever was.

In the Air Tonight

I started college in 1980.   I stood on the corner by the student union and promised myself I would figure out what the fuck was really going on.  I already knew my doctors were full of shit.

The auditorium was acoustically perfect.  In 1983, Phil Collins came to play.   They recorded this song there.  I was in the first row of the balcony.

That's how long I've been thinking about this moment.

 Have you seen the movie "Children of Men"?

You probably should.  It's a prophecy of our times.

See the future.

What can be, unburdened by what has been

Well, it looks like America is sicker and crazier than I had hoped.  When you are septic, you are capable of anything...  especially cruelty.

It's time to start the Global Zombie Reanimation Project.   We're going to need some help from the rest of the world.  They are going to cut off our public health insurance soon.  Hey Sweden... can you make that vaccine real quick?

P. gingivalis interacts with many microbes to form highly resistant colonies.  The reason Curcumin is so effective is because it disables many of those other microbes too.  

The problem with the research is they have completely bought into the idea of systemic inflammation - they insist on raising our blood levels via the intestines.  That is difficult and can be toxic.  This problem is infectious, direct application works better.  

Start experimenting.  Scrape your teeth.  Get some gummies or tea and coat your mouth.   Get some soap or lotion.   Put it on things that won't heal.  

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Such a subtle boy

Donald Trump over the past few weeks has occasionally been discarding his iconic blue suit, red tie and red "Make America Great Again" baseball cap, and instead wearing a black suit, gold tie, and black and gold MAGA hat.

Black and gold are the colors of the far-right group the Proud Boys, who "instigated critical breaches of the Capitol" during the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was handed a sentence last year of 22 years in prison for orchestrating a failed plot to keep Donald Trump in power after the Republican lost the 2020 election.

There it Is

The fucking stupidest idea on the planet.

Trump indicates he is open to RFK Jr’s proposal to ban vaccines if elected.

Honestly, this has to be Chinese or Russian propaganda...  WTF!!

I am very much in love with Turmeric/curcumin cream.  It has changed my skin. In three days.

I am now going to try the toothpaste and soap and lotion and lip balm....

Speaking of Personal Observations

 Hey Graduate students.   Here's a testable hypothesis for your dissertation:  

The desire for revenge is directly related to the amount of oral infection.

The sicker you are in the head, the more likely you are to want disproportionate retaliation.

State of the Insanity

 Yesterday a man in Phoenix set a fire in a mailbox containing ballots.

The US press screamed all day that it was politically related and he was arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

In fact, he's a very sick homeless person who probably doesn't even know there is an election.  He wanted to go to jail so his quality of life would improve.   

Most of the news reports did not mention that.

Same as it ever was.

Expected Behavior

 

This long term complication of septic infection was documented thoroughly by Peter English in a history of the 1918 Influenza pandemic.   It's one of my top-five books.

(The article is behind a paywall,  I'm looking for the data.)

I know an old man who didn’t go to the dentist most of his life.   He went down to Mexico once and had some work done after he retired.  Since then, Medicare has installed seven stents into his arteries.  He's had spinal surgery for arthritis.  He's half blind and deaf.  He also came down with prostate cancer.   He survived that surgery and drug therapy and now has Parkinsons.   He’s a government-money extracting machine for doctors… as long as they don’t look in his mouth.  Which is obviously problematic from across a room.

For the record, he votes to take away everyone elses health insurance.

Update:  one of the stents has been replaced because it was clogged.
