Mark Kelley on Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) – the fifth estate

health No Comments »

They call it the Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) and so-called “health ministers” are promoting it from B.C. to Newfoundland. They are members of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, with avid followers around the globe. Church leaders claim their product can protect you from “95% of the world’s diseases” including HIV/AIDS, cancer and autism. Canadians are ingesting it, spraying it, bathing in it and treating their autistic children with it. But Health Canada warns MMS is an “unauthorized drug” that contains a dangerous bleaching agent. Mark Kelley investigates, as the fifth estate talks to the believers and activists trying to stop them.

BBC's Kirsty Young close to tears as she signs off Queen's funeral broadcast with beautiful tribute

BBC's Kirsty Young close to tears as she signs off Queen's funeral broadcast with beautiful tribute

Music : Elizabeth Remembered, composed by Debbie Wiseman OBE.

BBC One viewers were moved to tears following presenter Kirsty Young’s “outstanding” closing speech as coverage of the Queen’s state funeral came to an end. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch was laid to rest on Monday, September 19 with a funeral at Westminster Abbey and a committal service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

Following the committal service, Kirsty wrapped up the proceedings with a powerful and moving monologue.

In a final tribute, the 53-year-old referenced the “might of the military parade”, the “splendour of Westminster Abbey” and the “hushed intimacy of St George’s Chapel in Windsor”.

Kirsty told viewers at home: “It’s often felt in recent days that a veil of sorrow has covered the nation, but the Queen’s funeral has surely exemplified her reign – she united us in one final act of togetherness, unifying the United Kingdom and the world beyond in respect, ceremony and significance.

“As a very young woman, she famously said, her whole life whether it be long or short would be devoted to our service. Well, never was a person truer to their word.”

Holding back tears, Kirsty continued: “And today we have come together, many of us with tears in our eyes, but all of us with an abiding warmth in our hearts for all that she gave.”

Kirsty then discussed the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the Paddington Bear speech that has become so poignant. The presenter added: “Just over three months ago the world, and a certain little bear, said ‘Thank you, for everything’ and The Queen looked as though she thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.

“We will, surely, be ever grateful to have had that final opportunity to celebrate with Her Majesty her remarkable and long reign. If, as she once said, ‘grief is the price we pay for love,’ then the weight of our collective sorrow is a testament to the depth of affection in which she is held.”

Finishing the closing speech, Kirsty said: “She made history, she was history. Queen Elizabeth II is gone. But she will surely never be forgotten.”

Viewers at home quickly flooded social media with praise for the tribute and Kirsty’s “outstanding” delivery of it. “What a closing speech by Kirsty Young, she did well to hold it together,” wrote one.

While another added: “Gosh – Kirsty Young – she gets it. Wonderful.” And a third commented: “Kirsty Young you have just brought a tear to my eye. Outstanding closing words.”

Motion-induced blindness: test for the severity of ADHD : eChalk illusion

health No Comments »

The success of this illusion depends on your ability to focus and not be distracted. This illusion can be therefore used to determine severity of ADHD in an individual or conversely your ability to focus and hold your attention despite distractions.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – or ADHD – is thought to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain that affects attention, concentration and impulsivity.

In this illusion you must fixate on the flashing spot in the middle of the screen. As you stare at the spot the surrounding yellow spots will gradually vanish from your consciousness one by one. As soon as you let your eyes wander the effect is broken and the dots reappear. So you must focus and fixate on the flashing spot to make the dots vanish.

If you can only make 1 or 2 of the spots vanish you are easily distracted and find it difficult to hold your attention for long. Individuals diagnosed with ADHD are rarely capable of making all the dots vanish; in severe cases the individual does not observe the disappearance of any dots at all.

If you can make all the spots vanish you have a normal attention span.

However, if you can make all the spots vanish for more than five seconds your ability to hold your attention is truly extraordinary.

It is thought that only 1 in 100,000 people have the power of mind to make all the dots vanish for 10 seconds or more.

An explanation for motion induced blindness…
The human brain is the most complex system in the known universe. Both consciously and subconsciously it processes a multitude of tasks simultaneously. Such intense processing requires a considerable amount of energy. In order to reduce its power consumption the human brain has developed a few tricks and shortcuts. For the most part these tricks work flawlessly and they serve us well in life, however, optical illusions, such as motion-induced blindness, are special cases which reveal where corners are being cut by the brain.
It’s seems that motion induced blindness is an evolutionary development that goes back at least to the dinosaurs. If you are a creature that is being preyed upon, then generally you have no need to be concerned about static objects; stones and plants are not going to hunt you down and eat you. So in a world where predators pounce the brain has evolved to keep moving objects at the forefront of our perception, whereas static objects quite literally dissolve out of our consciousness. This conserves precious brain processing energy for the more important task of survival. Indeed the hunting tactics of many predators have adapted to the fact that static things go unnoticed; cats stalk their prey keeping perfectly still when they think they’ve been rumbled, snakes and spiders remain motionless until their prey is close enough for the lightning strike.
This power saving shortcut is just as useful for predators as their prey. A hawk soaring above grassland is not concerned with the static scenery but is most interested in the scuttle of a tiny mouse. Huge savings in mental processing can be made if the brain only processes that which scurries.
It seems that our early ancestors, as both the hunter and the hunted, have evolved to make these mental energy-saving short-cuts too. So in the case of this illusion, the moving background always has our attention but the static dots, even though they are bright yellow, dissolve out of consciousness.

How to use DONEPEZIL (ARICEPT) | Medication used in DEMENTIA (e.g. Alzheimer's disease)

In this video Doctor O’Donovan explains how to use DONEPEZIL (aka Aricept) a medication used in the treatment of DEMENTIA (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, vascular dementia etc)

WHAT IS DONEPEZIL?

Donepezil is a medicine that helps with some types of dementia.

It does not cure dementia. However, it treats some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies.

It can also help with “mixed dementia”. This is when you have more than one type of dementia.

Donepezil is available on prescription only.

It comes as tablets, including tablets that melt in your mouth, and as a liquid that you drink.

KEY FACTS ABOUT DONEPEZIL

1. Donepezil can help with symptoms like being forgetful or confused.
2. The most common side effects of donepezil are diarrhoea, headache and feeling sick (nausea).
3. You can take it with or without food.
4. Drinking alcohol stops donepezil from working as well as it should. It also increases the risk of side effects.

I Asked an AI to Show Me Hell (And It Terrified Me)

health No Comments »

Artificial intelligence seems to think hell is as scary as it’s made out to be.

“Stable Diffusion is a machine learning, text-to-image model to generate digital images from natural language descriptions. The underlying approach was developed at LMU Munich and then extended by a collaboration of StabilityAI, LMU, and Runway with support from EleutherAI and LAION. The model can be used for other tasks too, like generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt.
It can run on most consumer hardware equipped with a modest GPU and was hailed by PC World as “the next killer app for your PC”.
Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion, is in talks to raise capital at a valuation of up to one billion dollars as of September 2022.”

What Is Myasthenia Gravis?

health No Comments »

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder causing extreme muscle weakness and can impact a person’s ability to see, smile, walk, talk and breathe. Our Connecticut MG Support Group sat down to talk about their experience with MG and the MG community.

If you believe that you have myasthenia gravis, please seek a doctor immediately. The MGFA provides a list of physician’s that have been vetted by our Medical / Scientific Advisory Board, here: http://myasthenia.org/LivingwithMG/PhysicianReferralList.aspx

If you have recently been diagnosed, you can see if there is a Support Group in your area here http://myasthenia.org/CommunitySupport/SupportGroupCalendar.aspx, or an MG Walk near you here: www.MGwalk.org.

“But you look so healthy.” “You can’t be that sick.” “Do you even really have that condition?”
Those are some of the many comments I have been hearing for the past 6 years of my life. My name is Lex Goodwin and in 2015 at the age of 19 years old, I was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Myasthenia Gravis also known as MG. MG is a chronic neuro-muscular disease that causes severe muscle weakness. I created this video to raise awareness, share my story, and help, encourage, and be a voice for those with MG and other chronic illnesses. I also wanted to help those without MG or a chronic illness better understand what it is like living with an illness you can’t “see”. Please subscribe to my channel and like and share this video!

Behind the Mystery: Myasthenia Gravis

health No Comments »

Myasthenia gravis (MG) means grave or serious muscle weakness, which is what patients experience with this rare, autoimmune disease. The hallmark symptom is muscle weakness that worsens after periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.

University of South Florida (USF) Health Department of Neurology physician Dr. Niraja Suresh details the disease spectrum, how a diagnosis is obtained, and how to manage the condition.

In November 2020, argenx, a global immunology company, premiered the first-ever MG documentary film series called, “A Mystery to Me.” The docuseries illustrated the perseverance of three individuals as they navigate the challenges of living with MG and adapt their lives to accommodate the debilitating illness. Teresa, who was featured in the docuseries, was a busy mom, wife, and new business owner when she started to experience extreme weakness in her arms and legs. It took almost 2 years of seeing multiple doctors for her to get diagnosed. She shares her advice for other patients that anyone can relate to.

My journey with myasthenia gravis: a chronic autoimmune disease #shorts

health No Comments »

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body, including the arms and legs. The weakness occurs because the immune system produces antibodies that attack and destroy the receptors for acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits messages from the nerve to the muscle. As a result, the muscle doesn’t receive the necessary signals to contract and becomes weak.

In severe cases, the weakness can affect the muscles involved in breathing, leading to a myasthenic crisis, which is a medical emergency characterized by extreme muscle weakness and difficulty breathing. This can be a life-threatening situation and requires immediate medical attention.

Heather Finlay-Morreale is a pediatrician.
