Shuttle to Mars leaving on gate 5

The fact we can even consider the notion of colonizing Mars can only mean we as yet have no idea the many coincidental and very specific conditions necessary for the spontaneous generation of biology.

As one example (of hundreds...thousands?), before space exploration we did not know to what degree the specific conditions of earth's gravity effect physiological regulation. Now we minimally know weightlessness dysregulates physiology to pathological levels. To what degree varying levels of gravity dysregulate physiology we are fuzzy on.

What are some other conditions that would have to be met before the spontaneous generation of biology can occur?

The exact conditions of the relationship of "feed star" to "dependent planet" that have to be met for biology to occur.

The exact conditions of dependent planet atmosphere?

The percent of dependent planet surface that would have to be water?

We could go on thinking of other conditions that would have to be met before the spontaneous generation of biology could occur.

But let's think of two other things first:

1) In spite of all of our technological sophistication we are as yet unaware of a single example of another planet with biology. 

2) What other conditions are we as yet completely unaware of that would have to be met for the spontaneous generation of biology?

It's as if we truly do not know where we are, even though we are living there. Already.

Can we take better care of the biology (including us) on this planet?

Or are nature's balancing forces working through us, already, and we are basically unaware of it?

In that sense (hubris vs mortality), we are not in control of our destiny to the extent we like to think we are, if we are first not in control of Earth's biological condition.

Can we even control our own biological condition? Why is the wealthiest county in history the least healthy?

Can we live with that? Do we have a choice?

Credible information has surfaced - Covid-19 may have been a man made virus

The information in question has come to light through Freedom of Information activity, and I'm simply going to let the experts explain what is coming to light.

First up is Dr John Campbell who summarizes what this is about and where it currently stands:

Whistleblower Lifts the Lid on “False” Alzheimer’s Research

Did you guys see this? (link)


Quotes from the article:

According to Science magazine‘s investigation, the images the paper used to support this conclusion — as well as images in other studies on the Aβ*56 subtype by Lesné — appear to have been doctored to exaggerate the protein’s part in the development of Alzheimer’s.

and

it was concerning that it hadn’t been possible for researchers to replicate Lesné’s findings in other studies

and

The potential reach of this kind of deception is hard to comprehend. Lesné’s research — and the direct connection it seemed to demonstrate between amyloids and Alzheimer’s — proved incredibly influential. The Nature paper has been cited in over 2,200 other academic papers, and provoked significant interest in the Aβ*56 protein as a target for Alzheimer’s treatment. According to Science, the NIH funneled about $1.6 billion into projects involving amyloids in this fiscal year — “about half its overall Alzheimer’s funding.”

Me again:
Well, yeah​, science is all about multiple replications of the original study. Perhaps the more interesting question is how all this funding got approved with no replication studies to base it on? Could it have anything to do with a mad rush to profit? BigP out of control?

Another quote from the article:

According to Daily Kos, about 100 out of 130 Alzheimer’s drugs currently in trials are designed to attack these amyloids. In 2021, the FDA approved yet another such medicine, Aduhelm. The $56,000-per-year drug from Biogen is so expensive that it’s expected to inflate premiums for 60 million Medicare enrollees.

And me again:
It's also been known for ​years that there are many with extensive amyloid plaques with no symptoms of Alzheimer's, and many with no amyloid plaques with progressed degrees of Alzheimer's.

That, combined with no successful replication studies, is concerning.

​However, there is potential for a new direction of study in the understanding of the cause of Alzheimer's. (link)


​And if this proves up over the next decade or so the health damaging ​potential of refined fats may join refined sugar in the overall understanding of the cause of all the chronic conditions that afflict post industrial humans.

Humm. There are already thousands of MD's who've broken ranks with BigP by reversing these common chronic conditions with little more than dietary change that depends mostly on the elimination of all refined foods. That, and getting victims off of their meds. Humm.

How is it they know what most others do not? Well, science is slow, "weight of the evidence" is a foundation principle that should not be hijacked for any reason.

Meanwhile, can we trust what is self-evident? The bottom line is pretty simple: when the autophagy function (the body heals itself) no longer has to fight the mountain of sludge modern humans put into their bodies disease reversals are quick and painless.

And if we grew up that way would Alzheimer's disease even be a concern?

Yes, chronic disease reversals can be quick and painless, but there is one temporary side effect: we have to come to understand that we are literally addicted to toxic substances engineered to be completely irresistible and go through some level of withdrawal. This is more difficult for some than others, and a supervised fast is a great way to do this for anyone kicking the habit.

We also have to come to understand the significance of "food science" that has become expert in creating substances that are both irresistible, highly toxic, and not coincidentally, highly profitable to both the food science industry and BigP who "treats" these conditions with other toxic substances that prolong the conditions into early death of the victims - two wrongs don't make a right was never truer.

Victims? Well, yes, but we don't need a conspiracy theory to explain this collective health disaster, we only need an understanding of the unconscious mind. "It's difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his salary depends on his not understanding it". (Upton Sinclair)

We also need an understanding that chronic diseases are really not normal. That they are normal is base camp at the mountain of misinformation food science, BigP, and the healthcare industry depend on to maintain the status quo, which is, in capital terms, continually increasing profits...grow or die.

These industries do not understand (for the most part) this mountain of misinformation is in fact misinformation. We are truly now in the Orwellian age, but too close to it to see it.

Let's gain some perspective: the double edged blade of science and technology causes equal amounts of regression and progression, and this problem remains mostly unseen and misunderstood. It does not have to be this way, we can individually, and with our families and friends, find our way to a better understanding of the cause of health.

The Problem with Fiscal Irresponsibility

This is a different kind of "health post", but one similar and indicative of the problem with a wrong way health care system that is nonetheless used by DC as the primary driver of the economy.

Stan Druckenmiller will not be a familiar name to many, but who is known as one of the more "common sense" (and successful) investment managers in history.

Natural Disasters cannot be prevented with Man Made Interventions

Natural disasters cannot be prevented with man made interventions. How do we stop a volcano from erupting? A tidal wave from coming ashore? Earthquakes? Hurricanes and tornados?

How do we stop ecological devastation and (what is said by experts to be) the 6th Mass Extinction? The argument is "we created this, we can stop it". This makes some sense until we ask the question: 

Is human behavior itself a natural phenomena?

We humans tend to see ourselves as separate from nature because of technology. But is it true? Certainly not in terms of "big nature" (volcanos, hurricanes etc). Or even true in terms of "little nature"? (Pandemics, heart disease, cancer). Not really, but we prefer to live in a state of delusion regarding little nature.

Pharmacology is the quintessential example of this. How might we be deluded relative to pharmacology? Pandemics might be an example. 

It is said by the majority of expert epidemiologists and virologists that viral pandemics spread with the suddenness and rapidity of a Tsunami coming ashore. Developing technological interventions takes time, at that point natural immunity and population immunity has spread sufficiently to reduce "pandemic" to "endemic". If that weren't true our species would have ceased existence in it's very early stages.

But we don't think of that, and this is part of the delusion.

By the time we've identified a viral disease of pandemic proportion, and then developed the intervention, natural individual and community immunity have been developing. Do the technologists who develop the interventions calculate what percentage of the intervention was actually caused by nature's community immunity? If they do we haven't heard about it. And anyway, what fun would that be? How could we smugly pat our selves on the back if that were the case?

The delusion we humans are so fond of is we are separate from nature, and even above nature.

Let's take the very recent example of the pandemic into account. It's now been publicly admitted by health authorities the intervention did not stop infection or spread. It is still said total deaths were reduced, but earthquake sized fissures in that narrative have formed, although not yet publicly acknowledged.

That one will perhaps never be acknowledged. Think of all the political negatives the destruction of that particular delusion would create: loss of faith in public health authorities and politicians, not to mention the trillions in future profits up in smoke.

Health care is the single biggest source of revenue for the US: if we think the economy is shaky now, what would we think if a significant portion of national revenue disappeared?

"Trade-off" is also a formal economic term. What should we call the trade-off of population health for economic "health"?

Tragic? Stupid? At the very least a contradiction in terms, and in the worst case skating down the slippery slope toward implosion.

Loss of faith in public health authorities? I think that horse is already out of the barn. What can be done about that?

Take control of your own health, it does not come out of drugs (legal or otherwise), bottles, boxes, packages or pills.

Paleos and Whole Food Plant Based people all agree... consume only fresh whole nutritious foods. And remember: feel good feels better than tastes good tastes.
