Psychiatric conditions are physical conditions. You cannot have a change in mood with out changes in brain catecholamines. Catecholamines are physical.

" seems to be a normal reaction to worsening life conditions and not merely a brain chemicals imbalance" Just to make a distinction here. Worsening life conditions will also cause a "chemical imbalance" so it would look

This is what worries me. I would say that they need to do an RNA test and a Genetic Test as well. I have Bipolar Disorder and even I go through periods of remission. Looking at genetics might give a better clue about how the trauma may effe

The frustrating part is we know that some people are fine catching SARS2 and others die, yet the never want to compare the biology of these people. We have the largest data set ever of something that could lead to the prevention of illness

No idea why this is being downvoted. This is exactly what happens. But the virus destroys ACE2 (not the "reception because there is no ACE2 receptor. ACE2 is an enzyme).

Yeah yeah yeah, but why isn’t this been blasted with the public airwaves, especially in India? Plus, they’re giving zinc to people already sick. Why not check people for zinc deficiency and supply them with the zinc they need? I know why, i

To downregulate ACE2 all you need is a bad enough zinc deficiency.

Start by telling people to take more zinc.

by podgaj 5y ago
Yes, I’ve already known about that. I’m just wondering why they’re not checking peoples zinc levels or why they’re not recommending people supplement with zinc. The rate of zinc deficiency in India is near 50%! https://www.ncbi.n

So if ACE2 is downregulated, and ACE2 uses zinc as a cofactor, why are they not looking at high doses of zinc as a treatment? https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9BYF1

We are not living through a pandemic, we are living through a syndemic. IMHO, the variability of outcomes is largely nutritional and a bit genetic. But fixing these would mean admitting there are deeper problems in our society. So vaccines

It might be that Vitamin D helps zinc function more effectively. Vitamin D3 transactivates the zinc and manganese transporter SLC30A10 via the Vitamin D receptor https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii&#x

Why is it good that we let one, unelected man decide how wealth is distributed in the community? If we had taxed him at the rate we have taxed people in the 40's and 50's maybe there would not be such a need for all these "ph

The trouble is you think this cannot happen without a smartphone. If you want things to change you have to take a stand and SACRIFICE. If your friends will not reach out to you because you are not on an App, are they really your friends?

I know it is nice and convenient having a smartphone, but you all are creating the demand for these horrible phones. And since you keep buying them why should anything change? You complain and complain and google and apple laugh with your t

I am just different from most people. You see the term is meant to explain how people get enjoyment out of watching these sad stories, but they are just some dysfunctional replacement. why do people go see sad movies? It is the same thing.

I am a Daoist like everyone else is a Gravitist. You all believe gravity because you feel it work and it was explained and named to you. You feel Daoism and Buddhism work as well but no one has explained to to you.

People fear what they do not understand. This has been happening to me for the 25 years I have been on the internet. It does not happen when people talk to me in person. Most people come to the internet to validate their existence. I come t

We are told we are born form our parents and from our culture. What if there was another story? what if we are dreaming, asleep? Or as I said before, maybe our birth is actually a death. Logically and superficially, yes, there is a thing we
