Natural Cure for Depression Silenced? | The Mind Unleashed: "By: Dr. Michelle Kmiec, Originally featured on Wake Up World | Depression affects over 25 million Americans a year. But did you know there is a highly effective natural treatment? Inositol – or Vitamin B8. INOSITOL DEFICIENCY LINKED TO DEPRESSION A 1995 study found amazing results treating depression with inositol. As reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry (Vol. 152, No. 5) “the overall improvement in scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was significantly greater for inositol than for placebo at week 4. No changes were noted in hematology or in kidney or liver function… Inositol had a significant antidepressant effect in this study.”"

Tried Inositol. Does not work. Inositol is just a B vitamin. Ironic that she is a practitioner and wants to sell her services. Just because antidepressants are not safe does not mean that vitamins are or are effective. We simply do not know enough about depression to be able to treat it 100% effectively.


TJ Saggu
I tried it and it helped me within days for moderate depression and anxiety. Both anti-depressants AND Inositol may or may not work for people. It is not one or the other. It's trial and error and finding what works for you, in which dosage, etc.


CONCLUSION
With one in four adults experiencing depression during their lives, this article about a correlation between "Inositol" and depression caught our eye. [Thanks to Joe Holesworth, StratoBlogster]

Sorry that this post is just a teaser. We still would like to know how to beat depression.

UPDATE Honey Bee Down :: "Somebody is Monkeying Around"

Symbioticism, Commensalism, Mutualism, Parasitism, Oh My!
Perpetrated articles by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 14, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

MooPig is all about symbiosis, thus the pig in the bull, but can the pig live without the bull? Sure it can. Can the bull live without the pig? Yes. So the two groups do not harm each other.

Let's look at another symbiosis, can the human live without the bees? No. The honey bee is "matchmaker of crops and bringer of honey (Jennifer Frazer | January 31, 2014. LINK) ... "

So the larger group of bees can live without humans all right. This is not a symbiotic relationship. It is a relationship where one group benefits while the other is unaffected by that group. Bees pollinate flowers, fruit and nut trees, vegetables, and 90 in all foods, despite human intervention. Bees make honey regardless of human activity. Yes, we humans are almost a parasite to the honey bees, because someone has their arm in the honey comb.

How do we skip evolutionary steps? It is by diddling around with genetics, and by making splendorous insecticides, that's how. So, where does this take us? Where does it leave the honey bees?

"... [D]iseases that result from pathogen host shifts are a threat to the health of humans and their domesticates. RNA viruses have extremely high mutation rates and thus represent a significant source of these infectious diseases. In the present study, we showed that a plant-pathogenic RNA virus, tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), could replicate and produce virions in honeybees, Apis mellifera, resulting in infections that were found throughout the entire body (Ji Lian Lia, R. Scott Cornmanb, Jay D. Evansb... 20 October 2013 Accepted 13 December 2013 Published 21 January 2014. LINK) ..."

Suspicious Virus Makes Rare Cross-Kingdom Leap From Plants to Honeybees | The Artful Amoeba, Scientific American Blog Network: "When HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans sometime in the early 1900′s, it crossed a gulf spanning several million years of evolution. But tobacco ring-spot virus, scientists announced last week, has made a jump that defies credulity. It has crossed a yawning chasm ~1.6 billion years wide."
"... According to the authors of this study, this is the first evidence that honeybees can be infected by plant-virus contaminated pollen, but it might not have been the first or last. About 5% of plant viruses are pollen-borne. The genetic material of most? RNA.(ibid. Jennifer Frazer.)..."
'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
" ... The evidence of systemic spread and propagation of a plant-pathogenic virus in honeybees raises awareness of the potential impact of new viral disease emergence on bee health. While findings from this study have important implications for understanding TRSV transmission and pathogenesis, much remains to be learned about the intracellular life cycle, species-level genetic variation, and pathogenesis of the virus in honeybee hosts. Although the cause(s) of CCD and the decline in the worldwide bee population is not yet fully understood ..., a growing body of evidence has indicated that parasites and pathogens are key culprits involved in widespread disappearance/death and population declines of honeybees (ibid. Ji Lian Lia. LINK) ..."

i.e., [that is to say; in fewer words] No Bees, No Humans!

Today's meme... tomorrow's past; I hope.
by Sylvia Caffery and Pat Darnell | Dec 30, 2012

Sylvia Caffery It is a matter of interest. I hear a lot of the time that all knowledge does not interest all people. People chose to know what they are interested in. Much of the information available is not interesting to many people. It is a drippy drag much of ...See More

Patrick Darnell You are right. Lots of people are not interested in the cerebral activity of information gathering. I never could stand reading newspapers, for instance, but when the information highway came along, I developed a voracious appetite ... what I am finding is answers to mysteries of my own life, that correlate with others' searches... sort of a revelation of self-validation.

I think those who wake up everyday as if it is their first day to live most attract me since I sort of fall into that category. However, I stay melancholy in my life, as if I am constantly conflicted with bitter sweet mood swings and subsets of connectivity from swirling stimuli.

I would feel better about things if I didn't have to be so sedentary these days. But it is true that happiness is a choice we make.

What will be interesting to me is the empirical knowledge that will emerge from our interactions in here with cyber highway. It will define the future for sure, and help many of us who are making choices as we go.

The trouble with ignorance is that we have an "elite ruling group" foisted upon us that is from a progressive thinking American's view, unbearable. The only way to rid ourselves from this group of mad men, liars, and power brokers is through critical thinking, and enlightenment. We must "choose" to not be ignorant.

Sylvia Caffery Mostly the "elite information seeking group" votes from "enlightenment." The rest of voting is influenced by superficial political performances. Who can put on the best act to dupe the most people. How simple is it to look at a candidate's record from any political stance, and see that he is not fit to lead; ie. Bush, and others, etc. They lie, they steal, they hate, they serve themselves, not the people. However, people vote from utter stupidity; how the guy looks, or how mean he can be to the opponent; utterly meaningless stuff. Most competent leaders now days do not want to be involved in politics. We have few worthy leaders available to chose from. We now have accepted and rewarded the dummying down of America on all levels, not only in the schools, even though as you say, information is more readily available than ever before.

My point here was selfish in that I was frustrated that I have never been able to motivate other people through information, although I am interested in being informed myself. I find that people are interested in whatever makes them happy at the time. And somehow they live that way, happily ever after, never seeking knowledge that contradicts their happiness. This is something I cannot grasp, but there is only one set of information that I truly do not want to be ignorant of, and I can say that particular knowledge is a source of sustenance and that intermittently-elusive happiness that we seek for health and life.

Can you put this on MooPig; would be better to have the whole thing from the beginning on MooPig than on facebook where it will fall off. Sorry to be ignorant on methods.

Rap finds a Symbiote

Anyways, back to Fnaïre... the group is composed of two rappers (MC Achraf and MC Khalifa) and one singer (Tizaf Mouhssine). Fnaïre call their music “Rap Taqlidi” or Traditional Rap, because it draws on rich, musical Moroccan heritage and shys away from the materialistic trappings of the Big Pimpin’ Life. In their amazingly produced music video for “Yed El Henna (Hand of Henna)”

Put your hands up in the Fnaire!
By Mehammed "Abou" Mack [SOURCE]

Despite whatever misgivings might exist about Fnaïre’s problematic political stance, this group deserves props for truly being pioneers in the Moroccan hip-hop scene. Fnaïre still represents the most talented and well-regarded Marrakchi rap group to date. Most importantly, they play a critical role in giving voice to the aspirations of a significant portion of urban youth in Morocco– even if these desires include the forcible incorporation of the Western Sahara into the Moroccan kingdom .
