For those that enjoy science this is a rather interesting article with many implications.

This comes from a recent post by Dr. Kelly Brogan. PR

Very intriguing article, PR. I related to part of it since a few years ago I bought an ionic toothbrush. It works at lifting plaque off the teeth. I was not that familiar with biofilms. Recently Epictetus linked an article about these bacteria and vitamin D receptors. The little I understand is that these bacteria are exceedingly powerful and now that the blood brain barrier can break down, they are a menace.

In some ways, not that surprising. An awful lot of the things that higher organisms do are done in some form by lower organisms. Good old repurposing!

And still interesting!

& all our poor little mitochondria plugged into the matrix....

I think I saw a theory about how they communicate on TED...

or was it midi-chorians....

Ah - and I thought they were the electronic music complement of terpsichoreans.

I googled & found but could not listen!

I makes one wonder (I'm only 10% human m'lod...)

seen an experiment, somewhere, proving why a suicidal mouse is influenced by bacteria/parasite trying to complete it's lifecycle.....

not Michael Mosely?
