Re: Engineering 'disease'
.....If there was still government involvement in foods and drugs (I don't believe in this but many would not want to let it go) then its end product would be advise and not prohibition. I am a libertarian also, and the 'war on drugs' could be stopped tomorrow by simply legalizing them. There would...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
Unfortunate for those women with breast cancer that the medical industry discovered them. A lot of old men die with previously unknown prostate cancer. But this is still all of the modern age. It seems we all agree that drugs and radiation are useless for cancer and speed up death. But, unlike many...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
I remember reading a science paper from Sweden where they had been doing hardcore breast examinations for the past 10 years. With their raised 'awareness', the rate of breast cancer tripled. And some mathematicians made a compelling case that 2 in 3 Swedish women who used to get breast cancer, their...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
I might add: studies with results opposed to the industry's interests are ignored, suppressed, not publicized, concealed, etc., even if the studies are done by top level scientists! That is true, they 'seal' the failed trials. I agree with your point also that there are many ways to manipulate clin...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
One challenge with depression is the category is ridiculously broad. Like imagine if everything from a rash on your skin, to plaque psoriasis was called 'psoriasis'. On the bright side the pharmaceutical industry is changing. It used to be the plan was to get a mass market type of drug like an anti-...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
posted by agraposo Folks, with the admins' permission, I'd like to raise a question: everybody who is contributing to this thread is aware of what the pharmaceutical industry is all about, or someone still thinks that medicines are good and necessary to regain health? If yes, I would like to hear y...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
Here's another engineered problem: allergies. When I was young nobody was allergic to nuts. Now everybody is. But the nuts themselves haven't changed. When I looked into tests for allergies they were farcical. I doubt if they're better now. More opportunity to sell lots of new drugs. I would guess ...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
Fasting is a subversive idea. Our economy cannot work if people are doing something that does not involve spending money. Even more subversive when the plan involves reducing spending that you otherwise would have made. If there is money to be made selling something, there is money to promote it. Th...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
Have you read about senolytics? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senolytic Basically there is cells that stop functioning in our bodies, but the cells don't die on their own. As people age these senescent cells are piling up. With some drugs it has been found that cellular switches are hit that our int...

Re: Newton's Errors (papers by Gopi)
The ideas I have worked out so far.. There must be both an attractive force & a repulsive force acting between the Earth and the Moon. The strength of each one is dependent on the distance between the Earth & the Moon. On Wikipedia it says the Perigee of the Moon is ~362,000 km, and the Apog...

Re: Newton's Errors (papers by Gopi)
The theory of gravity explaining our solar system, can easily be disproved as objects that only had attractive force towards each other would end up smashing into each other, sooner or later. My university friends tell me that the moon is 'falling' away from the Earth, just perfectly in balance with...

Re: Newton's Errors (papers by Gopi)
Thanks Gopi I am really glad to see you have written papers on this subject. I also came across errors in Newton & other very very high profile mathematicians(while also seeing many of their brilliant discoveries).. I am looking forward to reading in detail your arguments and posting my comments...

Re: Devolving Darwin (Evolution and other flawed origin stories)
On human near infertility. If gradual Darwinian evolution was the whole story, near all human females would be nymphos who would get knocked up on virtually every cycle when they weren't already pregnant. What we see in reality is most women have marginal fertility & next to no sex drive in comp...

Re: Engineering 'disease'
Good reference study. I have to admit I was shocked how much protein is in leaves like spinach, when I was looking at salad mixes a few months back.

Re: Devolving Darwin (Evolution and other flawed origin stor
Very good comments. I've also heard of studies of sick animals that live longer eating nothing than sick animals being fed with normal diets. This would mean that feeding in a state of sickness is detrimental, rather than helping the body to recover. It's terrifying to see cancer patients in hospit...
