  • Glutathione - Your Brain's Master Antioxidant Defense

    Free radicals and oxyradicals play an important role in the development and progression of many brain disorders such as brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, schizophrenia and Down syndrome.

    Glutathione is the brain's master antioxidant and plays an important protective role in the brain.

    According to Dr. Jimmy Gutman, "The brain is particularly susceptible to free radical attack because it generates more oxidative by-products per gram of tissue than any other organ."

    Many neurological and psychiatric disease processes are characterized by... abnormalities in glutathion ...

  • Heredity Is Not Destiny: Do Health and Weight Problems Run in Your Family? It May Be Habits, Not Ge
    I grew up as an unathletic kid. My mother was unathletic, so she just assumed I was too. You see, our family has weak ankles and no coordination. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that all this was a lie. I wasn't unathletic - I just hated team sports. I discovered I actually had a flair for dance, which takes quite a bit of athleticism and coordination. Weak ankles? Of course they're weak if you don't do anything to build up their strength. A lot of the physical deficiencies that I thought I'd inherited were really born out of laziness and blind acceptance - those were the real d ...

  • How To Overcome Stuck States In Personal Growth

    Although many of us use self-help tools like affirmations, visualizations, NLP techniques, and spiritual invocations, we sometimes find that nothing happens. This, to say the least, is disheartening.

    After many years as a psychotherapist, I found that the brain can be compared to a computer. Since the computer was founded to replicate some of the features of our brains, the analogy also works the other way.

    In a computer, a corrupted file, a virus, or any other type of malignant software is sufficient to slow the computer down, create frequent crashes, and cause difficulties ...

    "This is where lots of people would like to be: beyond science."
    Quote of note: Americans simply don't find Darwinism very appealing. According to modern Darwinists, random genetic variations chosen in a survival-of-the-fittest process created all living things, even humans — with nothing guaranteeing our emergence at the top of the heap. Darwinism is not a comforting world view for conscious, egotistical beings like us. ...and I don't know why that would be the case. After all, it means that, with no favoritism or anything beyond our own native capabilities, we won. Anyway...  A natural selection: intelligent design By Edward J. Larson, EDWARD J. LARSON is a historian of law, science and medicine at the University of Georgia. His book, "Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion,"


    Genetic variations predispose Mexican Americans to insulin resistance
    Although numerous studies have shown that low-grade inflammation is linked to heart disease and diabetes, more recent studies have shown that inflammation plays a role in insulin resistance, a syndrome that leads to diabetes and heart disease and affects about one in four adults in the United States.


    Methods for genomic analysis
    The present invention relates to methods for identifying variations that occur in the human genome and relating these variations to the genetic basis of disease and drug response. In particular, the present invention relates to identifying individual SNPs, determining SNP haplotype blocks and patterns, and, further, using the SNP haplotype...


    Celera Diagnostics finds genetic markers of heart attack risk
    Scientists from Celera Diagnostics have published novel findings linking genetic variations in four genes with an increased risk for myocardial infarction, or heart attack.


    Demystifying Genetic Algorithms Paper - An Educational Genetic Algorithms Learning Tool
    I came across this paper while researching Genetic Algorithms. Liao et al have done an excellent job of demystifying GA's and how they work. Having dipped into a few books on GA's I would recommend this paper as a starting...


     
    		 
     


  • Understanding Glyconutrients

    You say you don’t know what glyconutrients are? You are not alone. Perhaps you have heard a bit about glyconutrients but you don’t really know what they are or how they could benefit you. Understanding the role the glyconutrients play in the overall scheme of nutrition is very important if you are interested in supporting your own health and the health of those you know and love.

  • The Shoemaker And The Elves
    Remember the story of the Shoemaker and The Elves?

    The shoemaker would go to sleep and the elves would finish
    any shoes he hadn't gotten around to.

    Our minds function in much the same way, Our conscious,
    logical mind is the shoemaker. Our subconscious is the
    elves.

    Give your conscious mind a goal, gather all the facts and
    let the elves do their work.

    Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries have come
    after the scientist or researcher had given up and the
    elves took over.

    The structure of DNA had baffled researchers for years. Author:     John Colanzi

  • Robotic Future of Hospitals; Pandemic Prevention and Bio-Terrorist Attack

    There is a huge concern in the medical industry that if a biological weapon were released that those sick might come to the hospitals in such large numbers that before you realized an attack had occurred everyone in every nearby hospital would also be infected. Then of course the hospital itself would be rendered useless and all those already in the hospital no matter what the reason would literally condemned. The biggest issue with this is that those places we have available to help our populations stay well would be immediately and totally useless. For some background on the World Think T ...
