#braindamage

It's disturbing to me how many people I meet who are on #antipsychotic drugs when they have absolutely no #disorder or #health condition that couldn't be treated in a different way.

Almost everyone I met who was #homeless or poor, who had state #insurance which didn't give access to great #mentalhealth care.

Often for things like #depression #anxiety or #ptsd. Even just sleep in many cases.

They should ONLY be used as a last option.

They cause #braindamage over extended use, at any dose.

The internet is making you stupid, literally. It's not just old people yelling at clouds, there's actual evidence.

"In recent years, an abundance of academic research from institutions including Harvard medical school, the University of Oxford and King’s College London found evidence that the internet is shrinking our grey matter, shortening attention spans, weakening memory and distorting our cognitive processes."

"Earl Miller, an MIT neuroscientist and world expert on divided attention, warned in 2022 that we are now living in 'a perfect storm of cognitive degradation'."

The Guardian · Is doom scrolling really rotting our brains? The evidence is getting harder to ignoreBy Siân Boyle

While on the subject of #LateStageCapitalism... Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me. If #Glyphosate can cause gut inflammation [and bugs' stomachs to explode], you can count on it causing brain inflammation! Oh, and yeah -- deport those migrant farm workers and start doing their jobs, MAGAts. Good luck with that!

Chemical found in breakfast foods [and lots of other foods] linked to #BrainDamage in new study

December 5, 2024
Story by Maiya Focht Health Reporter

"A #pesticide that has been found in breakfast cereals, oats and orange juice may be able to cause dementia symptoms in weeks.

"Weed-killer glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in RoundUp, has long been linked to cancers and nerve damage. But much of the earlier research has focused on looking at people that interact with it every day like farm workers.

"The new study, performed on mice, suggests even small amounts of exposure can have long-lasting effects.

"Experts found rodents who were given for about three months saw Alzheimer's-like changes to their brains which persisted for months.

"Upon dissecting the brains, the researchers saw the chemical itself had gotten into the delicate tissue of the brain, where it likely caused inflammation, which caused nerves and brain tissue to decay, leading to the changes they observed after six months.

"Patrick Pirrotte, a study author and director at City of Hope said: 'These findings highlight that many chemicals we regularly encounter, previously considered safe, may pose potential health risks.

"Foods that were found to contain glyphosate include #QuakerOatmeal, #CheezIt and #Tropicana orange juice, according to a separate analysis by Sokolove law, a personal injury and illness law firm."

One of the unexpected things about folk with brain damage / dementia for me is the variation between different areas of cognition.

They might not know what day it is or where their house keys are but abstract thinking can be disturbingly clear.

ER: I'm not feeling good.
Me: Is it fear?
ER: Yes. And thinking about the blankness under it.

It sounded like he said the astronaut landed on mescalin.

Anyway. #thinkaboutthis @alexskolnick

There isn't a popular #MedicalScience focused on people who had #brainDamage, experienced a #recovery, and experience #IQ on overdrive.

It's noticeable if you haven't had that for a while. Like realizing there's no longer pain, after taking #glucosamine for a while. That-- at least-- is remarkable.

Why is there #nothing on TV but #politics #racism and the #wealthy #rich #wealth #exhibitionists

I put this #SpaceScience channel on. That's good. What else can I learn? Did you ever notice that? There is nothing about how to #solider or test #amperage
Why?
That's is #oldtechnology
What year is the advent of the #transistor? @AceArsenault

In retrospect, I noticed it when I was young but more interested in #guitar #wizardry than whatever they were doing on #FullHouse

Makes sense now, in #perspective
No wonder I never watched TV.
#epiphany

I want to write more about that, but I have other things to do. There's simply not enough #time

Anyone?

Dämpfe von verbleitem Benzin hatte ich gar nicht auf dem Schirm, wenn ich mich über das völlig irrationale Verhalten eines großen Teils der US-Bevölkerung mockiert habe. Ich dachte eher an die verbreitete Verwendung bleihaltiger Farben, Bleirohre in der Wasserverteilung und die Tatsache, dass wohl nirgendwo in der Welt flächendeckend mehr bleihaltige Munition verschossen wird als in den USA, ein Fakt, der sicher nicht spurlos an der Umwelt (Grundwasser?) vorübergeht.
