The Health Coach, Contributing WriterWaking Times Smartphones are here to stay. Smartphones are radically changing the way we live our lives.

Jaroslav Flegr is no kook. And yet, for years, he suspected his mind had been taken over by parasites that had invaded his brain. So the prolific biologist took his science-fiction hunch into the lab. What he’s now discovering will startle you. Could tiny organisms carried by house cats be creeping into our brains, causing everything from car wrecks to schizophrenia? Michal Novotný No one would accuse Jaroslav Flegr of being a conformist. Certainly Flegr’s thinking is jarringly unconventional.
The parasite, which is excreted by cats in their feces, is called Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii or Toxo for short) and is the microbe that causes toxoplasmosis—the reason pregnant women are told to avoid cats’ litter boxes. But if Flegr is right, the “latent” parasite may be quietly tweaking the connections between our neurons, changing our response to frightening situations, our trust in others, how outgoing we are, and even our preference for certain scents. He delved into T. gondii’s life cycle. The Hindu-Yogi system of practical water cure: as practiced in India and ... - Ramacharaka (Yogi) Are apps the key to revolutionising autism learning?

Fluoridation makes us stupid and unhealthy. (NaturalNews) A recent Chinese study concluded that low dose sodium fluoride in drinking water diminishes IQ, especially among children.
This is the twenty-fourth such international study with the same conclusion. Sodium fluoride has also been linked to reduced fertility and lower sperm counts. Other health issues arise from the basic function of sodium fluoride's ability to block thyroid production. It was once used to inhibit hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). So if your thyroid is normal, it will be reduced to hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid), which leads to a plethora of health problems. Sodium fluoride is accumulated and stored by bone matter, displacing calcium and weakening bones.

A note about “network neutrality” | WEBLOGSKY: Jon Lebkowsky's Blog. This is something I posted in the “state of the world” conversation with Bruce Sterling on the WELL… I give talks on the history and future of media, and on the history, evolution, and history of the Internet. I gave the talk this week to a small group gathered for lunch in a coworking space here in Austin, and after hearing the talk a technologist I know, Gray Abbott, suggested that I say more about the coming balkanization of the network as the most likely scenario.
