If you have your genome from 23andme; https://promethease.com/ That is just a start, it is useful but incomplete. I usually end up searching for SNPs in my text file based on research I read. I made a bash program which I

It is hard and it takes a long time. And I would not recommend it if you are not suffering from any chronic illnesses. Most people's disorders are due to diet/environment. A good place to start is uploading any data you have into

No, actually not. I hate that website with all my being, and I hate all the naturopaths that spout nonsense about nutigenomics. I sat in on classes at UNC Chapel Hill and I only use peer reviews studies. If you want to challenge my knowledg

Martin Pali is at the forefront of this but, you know, this is scary to a lot of people for some reason. The most studied ion channels are the Voltage Gated Calcium Ion Channels https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full&

I used to be a network engineer but since becoming disabled with a familial genetic disorder 20 years ago (Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Hyperlipidemia) I decided to get my genetics and study its implication in my disorder. I think the coding a

I am tired of people posting ONE study and think it discredits the plethora of other studies on zinc and the immune system. I can say several things about that zinc study; it was give too late, it was not mucosal, it was performed in non-ho

That study did not measure anyone's zinc status, it just assumed people were not zinc deficient based on the food supply. "The estimate was based on the food balance sheets, the bioavailability of Zn in the food supply, the estima

Yes, which is why we should be only vaccinating "important, large, and uniquely at risk sub-population"s. I do not mind mandates for vaccines for certain workers, but for young bartenders?

I have never heard of a population wide mandate for a flu vaccine however. And since 2004 the average effectiveness for the flu vaccine is about 40% so I guess if you are in a high risk group it might increase your survival a bit, but not e

I want to know why they never fully investigate why there is such a disparity of outcomes between people who catch SARS2. One can say obesity, but what does that mean physiologically? Is it just they already how too much inflammation? http

When did scientists get so afraid of a failed experiment?

And this is why I feel science is a religion, both ask questions which can never be finally resolved by humanity's finite brains.

I know it is a figure of speech, but it is quite a convenient one! It implies their math is right and the universe is wrong! Let me fix it: "Scientists models of the expanding universe fail again."

I miss the days when I traveled cross country with nothing but a Rand McNally atlas. To be free of the fear and anxiety of not knowing "where I am" (I am right here!) again is my current goal. However, now that traffic can be a me

You are in a system that is telling you to be the greatest, and that anyone can be the greatest is the are smart and just try hard enough. It’s bullsht. You can either decide to try stop playing the game of capitalism, or look down instead

Bitcoin, like casino chips and stocks, only have value when you trade them in for a currency that can pay your taxes. That is the real market value.

Food studies are all over the place because they never account for genetics. Look up Nutrigenomics to understand more, But a great example is changes in the FADS genes and how they impact the intake of long and short chain Omega 3s https:&
