Hepatitis C Found in Brain Lining Linked to Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder

A new study reveals hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the brain lining of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, suggesting infection may play a role in these psychiatric conditions.

Researchers analyzed postmortem brain samples and found HCV in the choroid plexus — a structure producing cerebrospinal fluid — but not in the brain tissue itself.

This presence correlated with altered gene expression in memory-related brain areas.

Electronic health records confirmed HCV rates in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients were nearly double those in major depression and seven times higher than in healthy controls.

The study challenges the assumption that elevated HCV rates are only due to risky behaviors like drug use.

These findings point to a potential new treatment avenue using antivirals for certain psychiatric patients.

Do you read to relax?
Check this out then:

Do you have books on Kindle through Amazon?
Be aware! This removes any right of ownership by you. I'm so glad I left Amazon so long ago when they started changing over to kindle. This may destroy some of your favorite authors. May I put in a plug to buy real books here?
As of February 26, 2025 you will no longer own any of the books you have bought through Amazon Kindle. You will only be able to view and read them on a paid monthly subscription basis after this date, which Amazon can change book versions you can read, or discontinue your subscriptions for any reason they so design.

If you want to keep what you have purchased, and own currently, download them to a separate computer NOW or you may lose them forever. Or have to continually pay a monthly fee to have access to them or any version they choose to change it to.
To properly own your own purchases, go to:

1. "Manage Your Content and Devices" on the Amazon website
2. Find each book (you must do this for each book individually)
3. Click on "More Actions"
4. Click "Download and Transfer by USB" and that will download the book onto your computer's hard drive.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each book you want to own without a paid monthly subscription.
6. Share this post with a fellow bookworm, tag a friend, or forward this to your favorite book blogger to get the word out to as many people as possible before the 26th! Readers unite!

It's up to you if you want to do this or not.
How do you feel about this as a consumer?
Should Amazon have the power to do this with your books?
I look forward to hearing your comments and what you think about this as an author myself, I don't like it but as a consumer even more I don't like it. But that's my 2 cents for whatever its' worth.

HEALTH ALERT: TATTOOS

There is a new study out on tattoos you need to know! If you've been with me for a while now, you've heard me talk about how tattoos can interfere with the body's ability to regulate body temperature. The more tattoos the more skin area that's affected and the less the body can keep the body at a normal temperature. This can contribute to quite a few health complications to avoid. (article will be linked in the comments below)

NOW, this new study states there's a 21% increased risk of cancer linked to tattoos. That's right, that's just from tattoos, not including other risk factors like smoking etc... Plus, if you have other cancer risk factors, your risk levels could be higher. (article will be linked in the comments below)

Rethink the ink.

If you're already tattooed and concerned about the increased health risk, especially if cancer runs in your family, there are permanent ways to remove the tattoo now and not just cover them up or hiding them.

I was so inspired by this story I had to share it with you. I hope that it brings new insight to you as well. I did not realize this stunning information about eagles:

------

By the time an eagle has reached 40 years of life, its claws become too long. They become too supple to the point that it cannot grab its prey with its claws anymore.

Around this same time its beak also becomes too long and too curved. This prevents it from being able to eat. Likewise, the feathers on its wings and chest become too thick and heavy which prevents it from flying.

The eagle is faced with certain death now. Either that or it must go through a 150 day, very painful, period of change.

If it chooses to go through the necessary change, it must fly to its nest on the top of the mountain and beat its beak against the rock over and over until it breaks its own beak to the point it comes off. Once that is complete, it has to wait for a new beak to grow back in.

While this is going on, the eagle has to tear out all its own claws. As the new claws are growing in, this regal bird has to pull out the extra feathers from its chest and wings to shed the excess heaviness.

This entire painful process, every day, takes five long months. At the end of this time, the eagle has grown a new beak, claws and feathers. It is reborn! Because of this transformation, the eagle is able to now live for another thirty years without having to repeat this process.

And this is the most powerful part of the eagle's story that relates to our own lives. Many times we have to make serious changes if we want to live. It's up to us to choose. And sometimes we may have a difficult time discerning when our beak, feathers, and claws have grown out to the point of certain death whether actually physical, metaphorically, emotionally, spiritually or knowing when it's time to make the change and need help knowing what needs to be done and how.

The brain is hardwired to fear change, pain, and avoid doubts even if only perceived doubts. But when we are able to free ourselves from the grasp of bad memories, false traditions, and detrimental habits that we used to or do currently have.

Freeing ourselves from these emotional burdens and physical scars is like breaking off the overly long beak and claws, and removing the heavy weight of too many feathers. We can now live more fully once we heal deeply. Once we are living lighter we can live more fully in the present and flow easily into our future.

Whatever level of awareness or level of healing you are at, may you have the strength of the eagle, the courage and the hope to choose to live. Choose to keep flying. Choose to soar in your life! You are stronger than you think. Braver than you know. And you can fly higher than you once imagined...

Did you know...Memorial Day Allows Time for Relaxation, Family
Relatively few attend formal celebrations of the holiday

A 2006 Gallup Panel poll found Americans largely celebrate the Memorial Day weekend and holiday in informal ways, by relaxing or spending time with family and friends. A fairly small number travel or go out of town. Roughly half of Americans have specific plans to spend the holiday outdoors in some fashion. Older Americans are more inclined to stay home and relax, while younger Americans are more likely to attend a cookout or to travel.

The poll was conducted May 22-24 and surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,003 members of Gallup's household panel.

So what are you doing to relax this Memorial Weekend?
Are you getting out in nature?
Are you staying home and relaxing?
Do you like to go to the movies?
