1918 flu pandemic a #WWI #bioweapon? bleeding from high-dose aspirin

20.5.1: health/immunity/1918 flu pandemic
/H1N1 with bleeding from high-dose aspirin:
summary:
. the 1918 flu pandemic was an H1N1 virus;
there was some who suspected it was a bioweapon
and not just the flu;
because a lot of bleeding was involved,
as if it was hemorrhagic fever virus
meant to influence the current war (WWI);
however, there was a new popular fad at the time,
of taking very high doses of aspirin
as it it had only recently been discovered;
and they unaware that it was the aspirin
that was causing the same sort of bleeding
that is caused from scurvy or low vit'C.
. historian on @scifri radio said
the 1918 pandemic was able to kill just the young
because it caused an autoimmune reaction;
so, the stronger you could attack the virus
the stronger you would attack yourself.

happy birthday, mom!

2020.4.24:
first the god made the world
to hold our feelings,
then the god made humans
to appreciate our world;
and when I became fully human
I came to appreciate my mom
and the way she worked the garden of my life:
planting the seeds and pulling the weeds,
opening the light, and asking our god
for the attention a struggling life needs.
I'm thanking the god for this world,
these feelings, and my mom;
happy birthday 2020, mom!

#easter #goodnews the spirits influence our minds!

20.3.21: relig/judaism/psy/schiz/the spirits influence our minds:
3.23..24: summary:
. according to Jewish biblical authors
(including the first Jesus followers)
spirits, demons, angels, or the national god
-- with a mind of their own --
are influencing your dreams and thoughts;
suggesting that the mind is more like a
radio receiver than a computer,
exchanging data with supernatural stations.
. I list some examples of this from bible,
and review the scientific evidence that supports it.

olive oil's high-polyphenol sources

20.3.30: web.health/diet/olive oil/high polyphenol sources:
3.30: summary:
. health claims for olive oil
depend on the level of polyphenols,
which could be extracted from your olive oil,
unless your brand makes specific claims
involving 3rd-party testing,
or is billing itself as a polyphenol extract of olives.
. my favorite product is a fish oil with
polyphenol extracts added to prevent fish odor.

#passover 2020 we find out why people are #hoarding #inflation

20.3.23: news.pol/purges/inflation/
passover 2020 we find out why people are hoarding:
David Sidman 2020.3.19:
Israeli economist and financial journalist Rafi Farber
who predicted the 2015 Black Monday crash
now predicts on the first day of Passover (April 8)
when the US Treasury is scheduled to auction off
10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds,
interest rates to pay usa's national debt
will start to rise precipitously;
because the world can see inflation coming;
because, the Federal Reserve is printing trillions
and Congress plans to hand out $1 trillion
directly to consumers to spend while they are
told to quit work to control the pandemic.
. so there are many dollars chasing few goods,
and prices will rise to reduce shortages.
. this is why people are hoarding:
buying while the dollar still has good value.

#schizophrenia and PsychENCODE's lab-grown human brain organoids

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.
