High temp meat cooking and Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Much data has linked the etiology of PD to a variety of environmental factors.

The majority of cases are thought to arise from a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Chronic exposures to dietary factors, including meat, have been identified as potential risk factors.

Although heterocyclic amines that are produced during high-temperature meat cooking are known to be carcinogenic, their effect on the nervous system has yet to be studied in depth. In this study, we investigated neurotoxic effects of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a highly abundant heterocyclic amine in cooked meat, in vitro. We tested toxicity of PhIP and the two major phase I metabolites, N-OH-PhIP and 4′-OH-PhIP, using primary mesencephalic cultures from rat embryos. This culture system contains both dopaminergic and nondopaminergic neurons, which allows specificity of neurotoxicity to be readily examined.

We find that exposure to PhIP or N-OH-PhIP is selectively toxic to dopaminergic neurons in primary cultures, resulting in a decreased percentage of dopaminergic neurons. Neurite length is decreased in surviving dopaminergic neurons. Exposure to 4′-OH-PhIP did not produce significant neurotoxicity.

PhIP treatment also increased formation of oxidative damage markers, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 3-nitrotyrosine in dopaminergic neurons.

Pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine was protective. Finally, treatment with blueberry extract, a dietary factor with known antioxidant and other protective mechanisms, prevented PhIP-induced toxicity. Collectively, our study suggests, for the first time, that PhIP is selectively toxic to dopaminergic neurons likely through inducing oxidative stress.

The first USA case of MERS virus was reported today

Image

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is viral respiratory illness first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It is caused by a coronavirus called MERS-CoV. Most people who have been confirmed to have MERS-CoV infection developed severe acute respiratory illness. They had fever, cough, and shortness of breath. About 30% of these people died.

So far, all the cases have been linked to six countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula. This virus has spread from ill people to others through close contact. However, the virus has not shown to spread in a sustained way in communities. The situation is still evolving.

CDC is working with partners to better understand the risks of this virus, including the source, how it spreads, and how infections might be prevented. CDC has provided information for travelers and is working with health departments, hospitals, and other partners to prepare for possible cases in the United States.

——————-

CDC advises that people follow these tips to help prevent respiratory illnesses:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact, such as kissing, sharing cups, or sharing eating utensils, with sick people.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs

Breaking the habit of being yourself by Dr Joe Dispenza

Joe Dispenza, D.C., studied biochemistry at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in neuroscience. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating magna cum laude. Dr. Dispenza’s postgraduate training and continuing education has been in neurology, neuroscience, brain function and chemistry, cellular biology, memory formation, aging and longevity. Joe Dispenza was featured in the award winning film, “What The Bleep Do We Know?”This lecture provides basic yet powerful information on how to co-create ones day and how to use focused concentration, repetition, and visualization (mental rehearsing) to rewire the brain. These are skills we can all harness.

Comments:

I call it the circle of life; one part creates the next and so on! Thought creates emotion, emotion creates feelings, feelings create state of mind, state of mind create experience or doings and doings or experiences create thought and the circle continues.

Porter’s Testimonial, Healing

Porter ended up in a wheelchair after a car accident years ago and was told he would be a quadriplegic and never be able to walk again (among other things).

Porter is determined that he will walk again, and is supported by his own mental attitude, his family, friends and energy healer Jill Runnion. Already Porter now has the use of the upper part of his body and arms, so he is presently a paraplegic (not quadriplegic). Through a combination of tremendous will, openness to exploring alternative techniques and his dedication to understanding the brain, neuroscience and how he can heal his body, Porter shared this video of him standing for the first time, in August 2010. Porter is a student of Dr. Joe Dispenza, and has completed the Level 1 and Level 2 workshops ‘ Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and has been actively applying the knowledge and techniques he has learned in his life, and is seeing tremendous results.

Raising Inspired Children by Dr Joe Dispenza

Neuroscientist Dr Joe Dispenza, and father of three, marries science with spirituality (universal intelligence) in this presentation on Raising Inspired Children. “I want my kids to understand that the way they think, and the way they feel influences every single atom in their life. I want them to know that their thoughts create their life,” he says.

Dr Joe discusses brainwave patterns, the power of story telling, impact of technology, the art of manifestation and how to teach your child how to make self-loving decisions in his or her life.

Part 1: Dr Joe talks about the different brain development stages (0-6 subconscious, 7-12 imagination, 13 onwards = outer world reality) and how to leverage these states for best life development. He shares why first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening are powerful parenting periods; how to install neurological hardware in your kids brains to best deal with challenges before they happen; why story telling is a parents best friend.

Part 2: Dr Joe talks about the impact of technology on your children’s brains; why he made a deal with each of his children to have at least one passion that involves nature; how he taught his children to make life decisions that are self loving and self serving.

You are the Placebo by Dr Joe Dispenza

Throughout history up until present, many cultures have traditionally experienced the effects of verifiable healings, along with hexes, curses, witchcraft, voodoo, and other mysterious phenomena. These effects—many of which were elicited by unscientific means—were brought about by the beliefs and lore of the society. Even today, pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies in an attempt to exclude the power of the mind over the body. In You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza explores the history, the science, and the practical applications of the so-called placebo effect.

Evolve your Brain 

Citing many amazing individual cases studies, this compelling book will empower you to personally use “the expectation of a particular outcome” to alter your internal states—as well as external reality—solely through the action of your mind. It offers the necessary understandings to change old beliefs and perceptions into new ones. In addition, it teaches a model of personal transformation that correlates with the placebo effect—without the need for any external influences (“placebos” such as sugar pills, saline injections, and so on). 

You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect . . . and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible!

Testimonial

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s new book, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One, is the ultimate guide to uncovering your deepest subconscious beliefs. Many previous books have offered to help you do the same and during the last forty years, I have read most of them. However, Dr. Dispenza also provides clear and easy steps to reprogram the subconscious and rid the body of old patterns forever! I kid you not.

I have personally been working with his program, through the use of the suggestions in his book, for the last four weeks with extraordinary results. One small example; I have had erratic and mysterious food sensitivities for about 15 years causing everything from IBS and acid reflux to horrendous abdominal bloating. All symptoms are gone. I have been eating wheat, dairy, eggs, pizza, and everything else for three weeks! Just imagine, if you can affect the response and function of your internal organs with thought, how might you be able to affect your genes?

Thinking to grow young is easier than ever! I love it
