How to increase serotonin in the human brain without drugs Research And Benefits - Research With Vibrated Water Research on the effect of vibrations 1 on water 2 With the spreading of Sahaja Yoga, it became well known that water can be vibrated by Shri Mataji, directly by her personal impact or in the presence of her photograph. Many people experienced medicinal properties of such water. Vibrated water doesn't get spoiled when stored for a very long time, like several months. For estimating the quality of the water we used standard, worldwide accepted, sanitary chemical characteristics, which indirectly characterize the degree of water contamination. We performed several experiments with various sources of water. Obtained results (Table 1) show that the effect of vibrations has changed all the characteristics. In the next experiment, the water was vibrated by adding to it some water vibrated by Shri Mataji personally. 15 milliliters of vibrated water were added to 1.5 liters of water taken from the tap. The results are shown in table 2. Lyudmila Tkachenko, Dr. of Chemistry, Kiev, Ukraine back to top
As we sleep, speedy brain waves boost our ability to learn Scientists have long puzzled over the many hours we spend in light, dreamless slumber. But a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests we're busy recharging our brain's learning capacity during this traditionally undervalued phase of sleep, which can take up half the night. UC Berkeley researchers have found compelling evidence that bursts of brain waves known as "sleep spindles" may be networking between key regions of the brain to clear a path to learning. These electrical impulses help to shift fact-based memories from the brain's hippocampus -- which has limited storage space -- to the prefrontal cortex's "hard drive," thus freeing up the hippocampus to take in fresh data. Spindles are fast pulses of electricity generated during non-REM sleep, and they can occur up to 1,000 times a night. "A lot of that spindle-rich sleep is occurring the second half of the night, so if you sleep six hours or less, you are shortchanging yourself.
1,3,7-trimethylxanthine gives you wings. 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (sometimes used as a pesticide to kill frogs) also happens to be one of the world’s most popular drugs. Users find that it improves attention and concentration, and slightly decreases their heart rate at low doses. It is habit forming however and has been known to cause agitation, anxiety, insomnia, disorientation, nausea, delirium, hallucinations and tinnitus. Some people report involuntary tremors or even convulsions. Overdoses can cause seizures, respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest. The metabolic half-life of the drug is usually somewhere between three and seven hours so a typical user will take somewhere between fifteen and thirty-five hours to process 95% of their initial dose. « Older Ad Aspera Per Astra... | Church of fools...
Supplementation with these two mushrooms decimates the human papillomavirus Supplementation with these two mushrooms decimates the human papillomavirus If you are infected with the human papillomavirus [HPV], your immune system usually fails to eliminate those viruses entirely. Carrying a malicious version of HPV can have extremely unpleasant consequences. The French immunologist Donatini Bruno published a study in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushroom in which supplementation with the mushrooms Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes versicolor helps the immune system to keep HPV under control. Study Bruno experimented with 61 subjects with gingivitis. Most of the five hundred strains of the human papillomavirus are harmless, but that is certainly not the case for HPV 16 and 18. Bruno divided his subjects into 2 groups. Bruno gave a second group every day a capsule with 200 milligrams of dried Ganoderma lucidum [also known as Reishi] and a capsule with 200 milligrams with 200 milligrams of dried Trametes versicolor [also known as turkey tail].
How to Educate Yourself and Change the World, Just by Reading There are so many reasons to read. We read for entertainment, because it’s fun. We read to keep up with the illustrious fanfiction community. We read because it makes us better, smarter, more aware. But one of the best reasons to read is because it opens our eyes. As aware as we try to be, as conscious and kind and empathetic, we are all limited to our own experiences. How to Change the World We know that stories are magical. We remember them and guard them. Stories are our best and most potent tool of understanding. A story can suck us in and explain things to us so clearly it’s like we’re seeing out of the characters eyes ourselves. That’s why it’s so important for us to read, broadly and hungrily. If you read only books about people who are like you, by people like you, it confirms the dark part of your brain that thinks the way you are and the way you do things is right. Reading like this, reading to understand, is a kind of activism. That’s where reading as activism comes back around.
aspie quiz | Search Results There are quite a few online Asperger’s Syndrome tests. I thought it might be fun to take each of them and then do a little write up. So, welcome to “Take a Test Tuesday,” a new series that will go on for as many weeks as I can continue digging up new tests to take. I’m going to kick it off with my favorite online Asperger’s test, The Aspie Quiz, but first a few words about online tests in general. Although some of the tests you’ll find on the internet are used as part of a diagnostic battery, it’s important to remember than an official diagnosis includes additional elements such as neuropsychological testing, observation by a psychiatrist, an assessment of childhood development and interviews with family members. While you can take these quizzes and get a result that says you’re “most likely an aspie,” they aren’t diagnostic instruments. With that in mind, let’s get started. The Aspie Quiz The Aspie Quiz was developed by Rdos. Pros and Cons of the Aspie Quiz Pros Cons Taking the Test Mine:
This Is Your Brain on Coffee Photo This column appears in the June 9 issue of The New York Times Magazine. For hundreds of years, coffee has been one of the two or three most popular beverages on earth. Other recent studies have linked moderate coffee drinking — the equivalent of three or four 5-ounce cups of coffee a day or a single venti-size Starbucks — with more specific advantages: a reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, basal cell carcinoma (the most common skin cancer), prostate cancer, oral cancer and breast cancer recurrence. Perhaps most consequential, animal experiments show that caffeine may reshape the biochemical environment inside our brains in ways that could stave off dementia. There’s still much to be learned about the effects of coffee. Correction: June 28, 2013 The Well column on June 9 about the health benefits of coffee referred incorrectly to its popularity.
Mexican Scientists Claim They've Cured HPV Mexican scientists are claiming a breakthrough in the fight to cure Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). A team of scientists from the Mexico Polytechnic Institute says that it completely cured 29 subjects of HPV. The groundbreaking announcement, made on February 3, marks a new era for a virus that’s often transmitted through sexual contact. Dr. Eva Ramon Gallegos says that researchers made use of what’s called photodynamic therapy, a treatment that medical professionals classify as non-invasive. “During the first stage of the investigation, when it was used to treat women in Oaxaca and Veracruz, the results were encouraging. Gallegos also says that photodynamic therapy can help eradicate premalignant lesions of cervical cancer, at least in the early stage. Photo by euthman HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that spreads via mucous membranes and genitalia contact. HPV is a controversial virus due to being a sexually transmitted virus.

How microbes define, shape — and might even heal us As both a scientist and a human being, I am continually awestruck by discoveries about the power of the microbiome to define and shape us. But what excites me most is the very real prospect that, as we come to better understand and even influence the microbiome, it could have the power to heal us. We’re already starting to link our microbes to a wide spectrum of specific diseases, from the obvious — like infectious diseases and inflammatory bowel disease — to surprising ones such as multiple sclerosis, autism, and depression. It’s worth noting that just because we know a microbe is involved in a specific disease, it doesn’t mean the answer — or the cure — is to eliminate that microbe. In fact, doing so might cause irreversible damage. susceptibility to essentially every kind of infection hinges greatly on genetics. But first, let’s ask: How is it we know that certain microbes are associated with particular diseases? But wait: Do you always get sick just because you’re exposed?
