2020.3.2: psy/schiz/PsychENCODE
Dr. Thomas Lehner for PsychENCODE
claims that some of the genes for schizophrenia
are unique to humans; that makes sense,
because one advantage we have over other animals
is a bicameral mind
where cognitive functions were divided between
one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking",
and a second part which listens and obeys.
. the schiz'ic can use this arrangement
to hear the voice of a god and other telepathies.
. we are actually experimenting on
living human brains, grown in a vat!
Laura Sanders 2018:
"Lab-grown brain organoids
mimic the real thing, analyses suggest.
Along with other parts of a large research effort
called PsychENCODE,
the organoid results may offer new clues about
psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia."

Genesis explains why human are without an os baculum
news.relig/judaism/
Genesis explains why human are without os baculum:
Megan Sauter February 18, 2020:
Ziony Zevit 2015 claims
The Biblical text says that Eve
was created from Adam’s tsela‘.
Although tsela‘ has traditionally been translated as “rib,”
Zevit argues that it is better translated as os baculum.
--
. "os baculum" is a bone used for penis erections,
in all primates except humans;
so Genesis might be a myth about
why humans don't have an erection bone,
just as it is a myth about other mysteries,
such as why childbirth is painful
and everyone has to die.

go for country gold
20.2.8: co.self/dream/psy/drugs/go for country gold:
[. logging this dream reminded me
life can seem to be of high or low value,
while drugs can make a low life feel high,
without actually providing the core high value of
protecting the community and the future.]

our fight is not with humans but with spirits
2019.12.4: relig/christian/
our fight is not with humans but with spirits:
. the current divisions between usa's political parties
(Repub's as christian or traditional;
and, the Dem's as liberal or modernist)
reminded me our primary fight is
not between countries (eg, usa vs Russia),
or democracies vs dictatorships,
but between the various spirits
that support opposing moral positions;
eg, the biblical vs anti-biblical,
or the modernist vs traditionalist.
. the bible of the early church
has some related verses.

dose of selenium depends on mercury-binding losses
2019.8.26: health/diet/selenium/mercury-binding losses:
2020.1.7: summary:
. selenium (se) is an essential mineral
but it binds to mercury,
and there is a lot of mercury in some foods
especially since the industrial age,
(and some fillings release mercury;
and some flu vaccines may contain mercury).
so some may need more se than others,
ie, you may need more than is recommended.
. some lakes are low in se,
but the ocean has plenty of it,
so most ocean fish have more se than mercury,
however, even if ocean fish are not a
mercury hazard, they still have carcinogenic
endocrine disruptors such as PCB, and dioxins.
. in addition to using sardines for se,
(also omega-3 oils, and plenty of minerals)
I get se from Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine
since it may have additional benefits
before being degraded into elemental selenium
that can bind mercury and be used in proteins.

Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine
19.12.31: health/diet/histidine/
Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine:
. I'm getting most of my protein from sardines
and Zen Principle Marine Collagen Peptides
from the skins of wild caught cod fish.
(precious cysteine comes from raw egg yolk).
. I was noticing from the price of histidine
that they could make a lot more profits if they could
extract the histidine and sell that separately.
. my source claims on the package
that each 10g of powder contains 230mg histidine;
also, I found an amino acid researcher
who claims that fermentation --not extraction--
is the usual source of histidine.

least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search
2020.1.6: aq.cyb/net.bing/
least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search:
. google is an important search engine
being my only access to some finds;
but the Microsoft Rewards program
gives you amazon cash for searching with Bing.com;
so I set my browser's default search engine to bing,
and keep google in my bookmarks bar for quick access.
. during days of research or reading news online,
I have hundreds of simple questions that bing is good at,
such as word definitions and spellings,
along with most of my questions about
health, politics, and religion.
. there is a limit of 150 points per day;
at 5 points per search, that is 30 searches.
more about earning points.
. in 2020 I get $10 for 10,500 points (70 days);
practically, I earned about $20 in 1.5 years.

usefulness and availability of various forms of #ginger #health #diet
2019.12.28: health/diet/ginger/
usefulness and availability of various forms of ginger:
2020: summary:
. Dr.Sears and others who promote
ginger as an anti-inflammatory,
suggest you should use only the fresh root
whereas the cheapest is dried root.
. people who are buying fresh ginger online
warn it can easily get moldy in storage;
so, it may be safer to buy only in store.
. I would like to find frozen cubed ginger;
but I found research that shows
powdered ginger does offer some benefits;
and, certain high-heat ginger extracts
may have more benefits than fresh.
