Yes! Exactly what I was thinking! To go even further, this way of assessing information is, in my opinion, the best way to deal with misinformation. In fact, the term misinformation is problematic as it's a subjective label that suggests that it's objective, but it's not. Galileo Galilei was thought to be spreading misinformation in his time. So the best way to protect yourself against misinformation is to assess it. Assessing information is becoming the new Darwinian filter.

Great comment. For the record, it is L-Serine. It can be synthesized in the human body under normal physiological circumstances, making it a nonessential amino acid. But given the prevalence of neuro cognitive disorders in the world now and all of the toxins we are exposed to these days may be humans need more than we used to in order to stay healthy.

@@ErikBongers Importantly, Galileo was persecuted by ignorant religious leaders who did no work to replicate or invalidate his work. Cranks and their fans like to drag Galileo out whenever they get criticized for spreading misinformation by claiming they’re challenging “scientific dogma” (which is not a thing) just like Galileo challenged religious dogma. Or “just asking questions” - which they pose to laypeople and journalists, rather than the experts. The best way to deal with misinformation, IMO, is say “don’t try to convince me - I’m not an expert. Wake me when you’ve convinced the experts.”

There's a kind of schizophrenia where a part of the brain pushes up against the skull. I don't know if all forms of schizophrenia are like that. Anxiety is correlated to the gut microbiome and there is a lot of study into it right now. I believe there are even diets that reduce anxiety due to after a handful of months they change the gut biome. Anxiety is interesting because it's also psychological, a blend of both the gut and the mind. Usually both aspects need to be addressed. On the psychological side both CBT and DBT both are proven in studies to work, and both of them I believe are 12 sessions, 1 session a week. A lot of progress can be done quite quickly thankfully. Good luck with everything.

All it would take is a preference and a signature...

I remember reading about lydigo bodig disease in The Pacific Daily News back in the 1980s. Then the theory was that flour made from the kernel of the fadang palm (cycad) was the cause. So the cycad is still considered the source, but the route of ingestion has been more specifically identified.

There are many toxins that can contribute to one getting Alzheimer. The principal creator of some of these Toxins is the Fructose in our diet which has several downstream effects from Obesity, Insulin Resistance, high blood pressure, arteriolosclerosis and Alzh to name a few. The brain itself gets little direct Fructose, but its downstream effect of Insulin Resistance results in neuron mitochondria being full of glucose causing the creation of ROS (Reactive Oxidative Stress) substances. With the excess glucose and use of ATPs Fructose is created in the mitochondria. With a lack of ATPs (the energy of the cell/Neron), essentially starvation, it starts to protect itself in a manner by the creation of amyloid and tau as there are insufficient ATPs to keep the proteins from misfolding. It is very complex, but the main factors, first was the increase consumption of Sugar from sugar cane (1 Glucose + 1 Fructose) and then in 1965 with the development of high Fructose Corn Syrup which is cheaper to manufacture than Sugar. - Now 80% of folk are overweight, 60% higher Uric Acid levels than in blood of a person from 1890, (Uric Acid directly causes higher blood pressure) and the development of Alzh later in life. KZread has many videos with Dr. Johnston and Dr. Lustig discussing this topic. Do a search Ford and Fructose or Lustig and Fructose. (Eat an apple, don't drink Apple Juice or Soda.) An average person can eat 10 to 12 grams of Fructose a day which is equivalent to 24 grams of Sugar. Less than a can of coke cola. Beyond that it has a cascading effect on the body's metabolism including increase appetite and the signaling of the body to convert glucose to fat in the liver (similar to the effect of over drinking which causes fatty liver disease).
