I'm the one who said it rejuvinates brain cells

Posted By: mt on 2008-06-18
In Reply to: You said it "rejuvinates brain cells"...sm - iagree

I can't remember where I read that exactly, but I read that it rejuvinates brain cells. It does not kill them like we've been told by "the establishment". I did find an interesting link that tells the myths about marijuana - here is the link.

You said it "rejuvinates brain cells"...sm

I was always told it kills brain cells.  I always believed that because I thought my ex was walking proof! lol.  Does it really rejuvinate them? I too believe in its usage for medicinal purposes.  Back in the day (waaaaay back) I smoked it once when I had an excruciating toothache (cuz that always happens on weekends when the dentist is closed!) and it relaxed me enough to tolerate the pain.  It was either that or I was going to overdose on Tylenol, Motrin, whatever I could find cuz they weren't working for crap.  I also did it once when I had an earache. (again waaaay back in the day).  It works wonders.  Doesn't take the pain away but makes it tolerable.  I definitely am against using it for recreation.  When my ex was getting high it was like walking on pins and needles around him.  He was wonderful when he was high but when he wasn't he was just the biggest a-hole!


nah -- we killed too many brain cells

snorting the crack OUR parents didn't teach us about!


Geesh -- why always so quick to blame the parents?  This kid is 14 years old and knew better than to do this.  She chose to do it anyway, just like so many others before her time chose to get up knocked up, strung out on drugs, become an alcoholic, etc. 


Yes, the kid screwed up, but that's what kids do.  Didn't you ever have a friend who stole a car in high school or got caught cheating and ended up expelled?  It's not the end of the world, but spreading it all over the media could very well push this kid over the edge and cause her to hurt herself.  She obviously is looking for attention or affection.  This is certainly not going to help her.


work, cells, IMs, etc.

Part of the problem is my son got an academic scholarship and a band scholarship.  The band scholarship (which I didn't want him to take but he insisted  and my husband thought it would be good for him) involves about 27 hours a week.  We were hopeful that this would give him a group of friends when he started school.  That didn't work.  Anyway, band is a part-time job in and of its own.  That plus his other classes, I think he would definitely flunk out if he got a job on top of all those band hours.  He is NOT taking band next semester and he will get a job.  I don't care what he wants to do.  He will get a job.  I am not paying for dates.  He knows that. 


The biggest problem I see with taking away his phone is that he will sit in his dorm room and talk on AIM all day long, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about that.  We told him we would be checking the bill and making sure that he was not texting during class, and since then, I have a real suspicion that he has been cutting classes to be in his room and talk to her on AIM since he can't talk to her on the phone. 


I would almost rather him get out of his room and try to meet some other people and text on his phone than not meet anyone and talk to her day and night on the AIM.  Again, I don't think this is a bad girl.  I think this is a girl who has too much free time on her hands and her parents could care less if she texts day and night.  The thing is, if she really cared about my son, she would not want him to skip classes.  I dated my husband in high school.  We didn't go to the same high school or college.  We talked on the phone each night (for a short time) and came home and saw each other on weekends.  However, I would have never in a million years dream of having him skip class or do anything that would jeopardize his studies because of me.  She wants to keep him in his room so he can't meet people, or at least that is how I feel about the situation. 


I am just so frustrated. 


Life was sure much simpler before cell phones.....


Dear fat cells...sm
Dear fat cells. If you don't stop multiplying I am going to have to stop feeding you. Then, you will be made to watch you and your fellow fat cells slowly die a very painful death. So, for the sake of your family....just stop growing and we'll be cool!!!
Stem cells...sm

So, I'm writing this as Obama crows about reversing the ban on embryonic stem cell research.  A lot of people in the crowd who know nothing about the science are screaming and applauding.


Whoa.  Hold on for some facts.


 First, embryonic stem cell (ESC) research has been going on full-tilt-boogie in other countries throughout the whole period of the US ban against using (new) lines of ESCs.  So, ummm...where are the miracles, please?  Adult stem cell therapies are already being used to treat over 70 diseases. Adult stem cells are much better for therapeutic purposes because they are already differentiated into the different tissue types (liver, nerve, etc.) and as such are much more immediately applicable.  As one scientist said, "When you have a liver problem, you need a liver stem cell, not an embryonic stem cell".  If you start with an embryonic stem cell, you have to first coax it into becoming a liver stem cell (if you're treating a liver disease, for instance) anyway...so what's the point?  The logic is difficult to escape, no?.


Second, embryonic stem cells show a marked propensity to develop into all kinds of tissues - including malignant tumors - and don't know the difference.  At least one patient injected with ESCs in Great Britain has died of cancer as a result.  No doubt, this scientific fact will be labeled "un-scientific".


Third, most embryonic stem cell collections are contaminated and unusable.


This does not mean that ESCs have no scientific value.  Blood, for instance, has been produced from ESCs.  However, there must be protections against the potential risk of sacrificing embryos in order to harvest ESCs, and there are ways to provide such protections.   Given the aggressive pro-abortion actions of the man who has already become known as "the Bloodiest President", we can have no confidence that this administration, which is indifferent to human life,  will protect these nascent human beings.


Why then, you might ask, are all the pharma companies screaming for joy?  Because, like the rotten science behind global warming, ESC research is an industry, and more precisely it is an industry that commands huge amounts of federal dollars.  That's what Obama was announcing today.  And, you don't have to produce any results to receive these dollars, either.  All you have to do is propose a research project, however improbable it might be, and here come millions of dollars.  It's the same reason state governors and bankers and auto company executives dance attendance upon Obama, kissing his ring - it's worth $millions and sometimes even $billions per pucker. 


 


 


 


 


stem cells
stem cells are medical garbage. finding a use for them is science.
We just got rid of our line land and use only cells now. nm
x
this usually means some atypical cells
were seen - usually nothing diagnostic - sometimes something treatable (in which case I would think they would give you a script) like yeast.  They are not worried, just want to make sure that it is okay in 6 months or if it isn't then it may be something diagnostic.  It happened to me once - think it may also have been after relatively recent birth.  Shakes you up but it is probably okay.  
Don't know your views on stem cells
http://www.joplinglobe.com/homepage/local_story_245195943.html?keyword=leadpicturestory
But how is it known, after differentiating the various stem cells that
the differentiated adult cells do not contain still dormant malignant tumors?

Is this a dumb question, as I do not understand much regarding this issue?
I'd much rather people talked on their cells than - (sm)
tried to talk to ME all the way across the country or the ocean, when all I want to do is
a. Veg out
b. Listen to music
c. Read
d. Sleep
What is the best deal on cells and good sound also. nm
:
This makes me want to have more babies and save their stem cells. sm
But, I'm confused. Is America not doing any stem cell transplants? Is that why she had to go to China? I wonder how credible this story really is. I have family in the Joplin area. I hate to be a skeptic, but I really wonder if this is true.
Embryos are NOT people. They are cells, not a "preborn person" . nm

my brain is 22
not so bad, I don't really want it much younger than that :)

My brain is 30 and my age is 42. Not too bad. nm

Brain tumor

To those of you that replied regarding my sister's 4-year-old son having a brain tumor, Thank you. 


Has he always been like this? Wonder if vascular brain changes
s
Odd. Wonder if she may have a brain tumor?

Although there was a case here where a woman, after her child died, stole over a million from her employer and lost it through compulsive gambling and then committed suicide.  In her case, she had always been an upstanding member of the community and had no prior history of gambling.  Perhaps anger, stress, and grief contributed to temporary insanity and then appalled by what she had done, she killed herself.  Everybody that knew her was just stunned.


Ever have a song going on in your brain that you SM
can't get out? Well, I have Black Eye Peas "Lady Lumps"! I don't even like it, but when channel surfing, MTV2 runs it all the time.  Must be where I heard it.

You do know the meaning of brain-washed
dont you?? Oh well, I guess he will have to find another way to live now. Pretty soon he will be evicted from the home he is squatting on in the Bahamas. He was her enabler, not her lover and he knew it, might have wanted to be. Larry has already said the grandmother would get visitation rights and I think that is the way it should be.
sounds like your husband has a brain

We have worked it out so that I am the brain and he is the brawn. SM

Sounds like it's time for a brain MRI.
Hope it turns out to be something simple.
Kinda looks like my brain on Friday.

I enjoyed that. Apparently my brain is

The 2nd time I played, it was harder! More numbers! But I managed to get a brain age of 37.

Female anatomy and the brain
I do a lot of neuro dictation and I've noticed that seizures and migraines tend to increase in a lot of females with their menses.  Anyone know the link between females having an increase in both of these problems with their menses?  Would a hysterectomy be helpful?  I'm truly curious about this.
See message, there is something wrong with her brain that we don't understand
I have a niece like this, I type for a psychologist who has numerous patients like this and a lot of it is not their fault, they can have adult ADD, they can have other things medically wrong with their minds, etc.  You can either honestly talk to her and tell her how it bothers her and try to help her become organized, accept her as she is or find another friend.   I also have a great nephew (son of my niece) that has problems with this and like my doctor tried to explain to me -- they really believe and think that they are finishing projects, turning things in, remembering, keeping organized, etc.  Their brain works so different than ours that it is hard for us to understand.  But to them, their life is organized, etc.   Taking EFA's helps, fish oil helps with the brain.  Keeping a calendar helps, keeping schedules really helps.    After this many years also it is a habit and a way of life for her but she really does not realize that she is the way that she is.   I could not understand how my great nephew felt and believed that he did his assignments and turned them in when he did not -- Dr. J told me that to him he did it and he is not lying.   Their brain works differently than ours. It is really hard for us to understand but they really think that they are on top of things.  If in other ways she is a good friend, then work with her or accept this but if this is truly bugging you and you have no room for understanding your best bet is to stop the friendship as you are not doing her any good.   There is a book out called "Brain Gym" that gives exercises to help with the brain, they are weird exercises but they do work.  Again, essentially fatty acid supplements, lots of protein, fish, fish oil helps.   Lots of exercise that moves across the midline.   Schdules.   But she does have a brain malfunction if you want to call it that so understand a little more. 
And I think he brain-washed Anna, got her to turn
against her mother, got her to go to the Bahamas, knowing good and well he was not the father- if he were do you not think he would have DEMANDED a DNA some time ago?? So simple if you think about it. He did not give 1 at the end and last night when his family was on Entertainment Tonight, I could tell by the way they were talking was not his, telling how they hated for the kid to be taken away- it is NOT his kid. He was the same as kidnapping the child, otherwise like I said the DNA would have been done at the beginning. Use your senses, ok?

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life
I read a book once with the above title. I can't remember the author. He has done a lot of testing (and imaging) and says that often people actually have small amounts of brain damage they are not aware of that cause chronic behavioral issues.

He says that even little incidents of falling off a bike, etc. can cause damage that people aren't aware occurred.

I'm not saying this is your son's case, but I think you will have to keep investigating. Even with those who have damage, they are able to use meds to help the brain compensate for the affected area, which helps greatly.

I'm sorry you are going through this. It has to be awful for the whole family and hurtful to know your son is feeling in such a way to act that way.

I'm sure there is an answer somewhere. I hope you find it soon! - Please keep us posted.
