huperzine complements


7.20: news.wealth/things that go good with hup:
a reviewer of huperzine commented:
This is one of the best staples in my regime
for concentration and motivation.
Any effects on mood, I can easily
counteract it with Ashwagandha
or even a cup of coffee.
Great to mix with Pine Bark
for an added mental kick and proper dosing.
My concentration improves some,
and my recall / short term is always 100% sharper.
4g huperzine.

MAO-A inhibitors in tribulus

7.30: news.wealth/tribulus/
"reversible" Monoamine Oxidase A inhibitor:
. related to dopamine?
Tribulus extracts may contain "reversible"
inhibitors of Monoamine Oxidase A .
forum.lef.org/
www.springerlink.com/
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

MAO-A can selectively metabolize
adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin,
and dopamine to inactive compounds.
Tribulus contains Harmine,
a short-acting, "reversible" MAOI-A inhibitor
The inhibition of MAO-A prevents the degradation of
adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine
and the result can be increased mood,
alleviation of depression  and more energy.
High dopamine levels can stimulate the pituitary gland
to release lutenizing hormone (LH)
which leads to an increase in testosterone levels
and thus elevating libido, another mood enhancer.
Harmine is "reversible" because it
does not bind permanently to MAO-A,
thus is not as contraindicated with
tyramine-containing foods (cheese, red wine, etc)
as irreversible MAOI's,
nor does harmine raise levels of tyramine per se
since it allows tyramine to be metabolized.
The short-acting and non-permanency
of it's binding capabilities means that
the anti-depressive effects of harmine
usually cease 24-48 hours after stopping therapy.
. with a half-life of 2.5 hours,
several doses are necessary;
eg 3 * 750 ... 1,500 mg
of standardized 45% steroidal sapponins.
. lef member suggests tribestan .
tribulus at Beyond A Century:
(bac's 1kg, 100g, High-Protodiocin 50g).

schiz'ia thought to be related to autism

How Autism is Changing the World for Everybody

There's not much doubt that autism, along with Asperger Syndrome,
is finally becoming accepted as a normal part of the human fabric.
Even if some people still see autism as a condition that needs to be "treated,"
it's increasingly obvious that people on the autism spectrum
are finding ways to...

--
. interesting that an article about
people misunderstanding autism
also noted that some had seen autism
as related to childhood schizophrenia;
because, schiz'ia too is quite misunderstood .
. medicals claim it's all about
being detached from reality:
having delusions about thoughts as objects
-- thoughts being sharable between people .
. the truth is,
not being able to control communications
(because thoughts are given to us
-- not made by us) means that
schiz'ia can be a lonely disease
and one filled with much frustration,
popularly known to end in mass murder
(people who think together, die together!?).
. what makes our medicals think that
this thought sharing is delusional?
. it may be delusional to think you control it,
that's where
a belief in the supernatural makes sense;
a belief in god
apparently makes a lot of sense,
but a belief in the devil is in the bible too,
yet even among many religious,
it's downplayed,
just like rational thought about schiz'ia .

leukemia from promiscuous kissing

9.22: news.health/cancer/
risk factors for leukemia include promiscuous kissing!:
. risk factors for leukemia include promiscuous kissing!
. One is EBV, the Epstein-Barr herpes virus,
that can inhabit B-lymphocytes and nasopharyngeal cells.
Infection with EBV occurs by the oral transfer of saliva;
90 to 95 % of adults have been infected .
. it also causes chronic fatigue syndrome
but not everyone with leukemia and lymphoma
showed traces of it in their blood work .
. other causes of leukemias include chemical exposures
and ionizing radiation (eg, for treating other cancers).
. one important reason for exporting jobs is that
many 3rd-world countries
don't ban chemicals like benzene
that are needed in manufacturing
but that are known for causing leukemia .
. also interesting note that those employed overseas
can buy the products that are banned here:
cigarette smoking is linked to myeloid leukemias .
. other viruses known to cause leukemias
include HIV and HTLV-1
(the human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus).
The HTLV-1 virus is closely associated with
T-cell lymphocytic leukemia,
found in Japan, Africa, and the Caribbean.
. less than 4 percent of those infected with this virus
develop leukemia.
. farmers might be at risk handling cows who have
Bovine leukemia virus;
but cats with feline leukemia virus
are definitely not contagious .
. a high sugar diet can cause it indirectly;
because it leads to kidney and heart disease,
so then Kidney and heart transplantation
require the immunosuppressive drugs
that have been implicated in secondary leukemias.
. finally, a society that spurns eugenics
will never escape from genetic predispositions
to chromosome instabilities .

Y (male) chromosome degeneration

7.10: news.biol/Y (male) chromosome degeneration:
Professor of Human Genetics
at the University of Oxford since 1997,
Bryan Sykes, discussed his DNA research ,..
Sykes described his work on the
"Seven Daughters of Eve."
The Y (male) chromosome in general has been subject to
more degeneration and mutation than the X (female) chromosome,
and, he warned, if this continues
males might eventually become extinct .
. y-chromosome holding male-ness is decomposing;
we could move male genes to another chromosome,
or we could just clone without males .
[ Primate Y chromosomes, including in humans,
have degenerated so much
that primates will also evolve relatively soon,
new sex determination systems
in about 14 million years in humans.[7][25] ]
Criticism of the book and theory at Discover Magazine/
Jean M Says: June 1st, 2011 at 11:17 am: "(
Bryan Sykes heavily invested,
both academically and commercially,
in his vision of The Seven Daughters of Eve (2001)
– the matriarchs of the European population,
only one of whom (Jasmine i.e. mtDNA J)
he pictured as arriving from the Near East with farming.
The rest he saw as more ancient in Europe.
Unfortunately for Sykes, he was just plain wrong.
Now that aDNA researchers have better techniques
to guard against contamination,
and can test to a much higher degree of
resolution on the mtDNA tree,
the picture has turned completely around.
Two papers last year showed that
Neolithic people in Northern Europe
were completely unrelated to their Mesolithic predecessors,
who were overwhelmingly U4 and U5.
New papers attempting to set their own material in context
do not always reflect the latest discoveries.
There is often a long delay between
submission and publication of a paper.
This is the second paper which has attempted to
reconcile the old Sykes story with
what is emerging from Y-DNA,
not realizing that the Seven Daughters saga
has gone the way of the dodo.
Some of the mtDNA haplogroups found in this study
are indeed ancient in Europe – the U5 for sure.
But not the majority.
.
It no longer looks as though H1 and H3 were
spread from the Franco-Cantabrian refuge
either. See my blog post:
Franco-Cantabrian refuge for what? Not mtDNA H1, H3.)
