popularizing the believability of remote viewing;
but his results are not even consistent with facts .

big clue from #DownSyndrome prone to #Alzheimer's

10.25: news.health/alz/big clue from Down's syndrome prone to Alzheimer's:
. most people with Down's syndrome get Alzheimer's disease?
that makes sense because they are prone to obesity,
and tend to be intolerant of sugar,
(they then get spikes in blood sugar
that raises cholesterol that causes Alzheimer's disease).

#obese more likely to die from #flu

10.21: web.health/hormonics/obese more likely to die from flu:
summary:
. the obese were more likely to get the H1N1 flu
and to subsequently die from it;
so, would that apply to any flu?
. usa's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
added morbid obesity to the list of conditions that
increase the risk of influenza-related complications,
including hospitalization and death .
. some say the obese should be urged to get flu vaccine,
while others claim vaccines may not work in the obese
because they are less like to mount an immune response .
. also, vaccines work surely only by herd immunity,
because, vaccines are not 100% effective,
so if you are obese surrounded by
thin people who don't get vaccinated,
getting a flu vaccine is not surely going to protect you from flu .
. vaccines aren't without risk,
so, it would be wise to minimize them .
. instead of flu vaccines,
we could vaccinate only the care providers
of those who stay home with the vulnerable
(infants and elderly)
and reduce the size of our obese population
by putting a huge tax on high-glycemic foods
and also on the high-fructose low-fiber foods .

50g alcohol limit saves only liver

10.18: web.health/50g alcohol limit saves only liver:
One unit of alcohol is 8g (or 10ml) of pure alcohol
( 87.5ml glass of 12% wine [0.37cup]
, 25ml measure of 80 proof liquor
, A half pint of normal strength (4%) beer
). concerning damage to the liver,
the risk begins when regular weekly consumption
exceeds about 30 units per week;
[ 6units *5days per week? ]
-- Royal Colleges recommend two days of abstinence a week .
But for other conditions, like cancer,
the risk starts at once .
. one who drinks 50g (6units) of alcohol per day
[ 2.22 cup 12% wine ]
- has nearly double the risk of stroke,
high blood pressure and pancreatitis
as someone who abstains.
