Neuro-inflmamation destroys brain cells. There is no pharmacologic agent to put out this ‘fire’.
Not only has sugar become addictive, it is destroying parts of people’s brains!

Compassion is something so inherent anyone can be taught to do it. The additional benefit to the brain, which changes as the behavior continues, to be emotionally more positive.
How amazing! Increasing one’s ability to empathize and have compassion for others suffering on a large scale would dramatically change the face of this planet.
excerpt:
As evidenced in countless acts of kindness, the wave of good action repeats itself as others observe the act and want to join in – as their own brain centers react to the good deed. It starts with one small act, and turns into a title wave. You can start one in your community today.

Yes, the election was depressing, but the real impact of what has happened, and will happen, didn’t come clear until I started reading Naomi Klein’s new book, This Changes Everything. Everyone should read it because she doesn’t just make the case for the facts; she puts it in the context of what has to change if we’re not to lose the whole ball game. What the Repugs did in the last election makes the situation even more dire, especially with regard to names that are probably familiar: the Koch brothers, and Sen. James Inhofe. Read it and then we need to start thinking what can be done. Time is short.

The hidden story about vaccines, autism, drugs and food… Americas health has been BOUGHT. Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street… “If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.” Vaccines.GMOs. Big Pharma. Three big, BIG, okay… HUGE topics in one film. Why? Why not 3 films, why put all this in one movie? Great question, 2 answers. 1st and most importantly: We need to band together. We need a mainstream film, not another radical movie that only interests the “already converted”. Over 5 million people supported Prop 37 in CA. Reportedly, over 2 million worldwide marched against Monsanto in a global protest. There are thousands of actively involved parents focused on vaccine safety truth. We’re going to use multiple groups to make sure the critical message in this film “crosses the chasm” and makes it into mainstream. We’ve already allied with some of the most successful voices in these areas. We can’t afford to stay “silo’ed”, focused on only one key issue. These causes are directly related, and we need to harness all of us to draw close to the level of noise put out by the medical-industrial conglomerate. Combining all three topics makes wonderful storytelling, because it’s the same villain! You peel back the layers and see what’s really driving our industrialized food, our insane vaccine expansion, and our love affair with pharmaceuticals- it’s the same villain. It’s a risky story to tell, but would be a tragedy to passively consent to with silence. There is something horribly wrong with health care today. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD’s aren’t being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled. Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time. Three huge stories, each worthy of multiple films, but each brought together by one staggering fact: it’s the same villain. These three story lines converge on Wall Street, in a tale of corruption, greed and shocking lack of conscience.
