“Nguyen’s team studied stool samples from 184 people, looking at how many different kinds of gut microbes each person had in their microbiome, which means the ecosystem of tiny organisms and viruses that exist in the gut. The study participants also answered questions from the researchers to measure their feelings of wisdom, compassion, loneliness, social support, and social engagement.

People with the most diverse microbiomes also tended to rate themselves high on the scale for compassion, social support, social engagement, and wisdom. In fact, the degree to which participants’ rated their compassion and wisdom was the greatest predictor of the degree of their microbial diversity.”

Feeling that no one wants to hang out with you can feel like a kick to the gut, and a study published in March suggests there’s biological truth to your mood.

“A diet with 25% of total calories from added sugar resulted in a 2-fold higher mortality rate in female mice and males were 26% less likely to be competitive and had 25% fewer offspring.

The human equivalent dose is around 3 cans of sugar-sweetened sodas per day.

The mice on the control diet had the same diet except the 25% added sugar (50% fructose and 50% glucose) was replaced by cornstarch.

Refined sugar intake is a big problem, particularly in the US. Nearly three-fourths of adults in the US get about 10% of their daily calories from added, refined sugar. An amazing 10% get nearly 25% of their calories from refined sugar!”

When mice ate a diet of 25 percent extra sugar -- the mouse equivalent of a healthy human diet plus three cans of soda daily -- females died at twice the normal rate and males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce, according to a toxicity test developed at the University of Utah...

New research: "New scientific research proves that the fetus is vulnerable to its environment even inside the amniotic bag. The findings of the study of Japanese Dr. Akira Ikegawa, top of the prenatal memory research, confirms it irrefutably. Children around the age of 3,4 recall emotions and sounds from moments long before they were born."

Έχοντας από πολύ νωρίς, από τα φοιτητικά μου χρόνια στο Imperial College μυηθεί στο θαυμαστό σύμπαν του εμβρύου, και μαθαίνοντας να το αντιμετωπίζω σαν αυτόνομο ασθενή, προβλέποντας "με κλειστά μάτια" σχεδόν κάθε πιθανή του εξέλιξη μέχρι την ημέρα του τοκετού, ομολογώ πως ποτέ δεν παύει να με εκπλήσσει!

Νέες επιστημονικές έρευνες αποδεικνύουν ότι το έμβρυο είναι ευάλωτο στο περιβάλλον του ακόμα και μέσα στον αμνιακό σάκο. Τα πορίσματα της μελέτης του Ιάπωνα Dr. Akira Ikegawa, κορυφαίου στην έρευνα της Προγεννητικής μνήμης, το επιβεβαιώνουν αδιάψευστα. Τα παιδιά γύρω στην ηλικία των 3,4 ετών ανακαλούν συναισθήματα και ήχους από στιγμές πολύ πριν γεννηθούν...

Sharing interesting results. Please note that the manuscript has not yet been peer reviewed and should not be used as directions for treatment. Nevertheless, great results from this small Omega 3 study.

Patients with the most omega-3s in their system were 75% less likely to die from COVID-19, a preliminary pilot study suggests.

Researchers used a cocktail of antibiotics to deplete gut microbes in mice. They found that metabolites in the gut differed in these mice compared with controls. In particular, metabolic pathways involved in making important neurotransmitters like serotonin were affected. Additionally, these mice sh...
