I didn’t believe my eyes. On the CDC’s website [1] I read: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.” Then this is laid out: “The rise in autism prevalence since the 1980s correlates with the rise in the number of vaccines given to infants. Though the cause of autism is likely to be multi-factorial, the scientific foundation to rule out one potential […]
YouTube’s algorithms help bubbles to form. Not the ones in your bathtub, but the social ones. YouTube shows me what it believes will interest me because it has interested others who watch similar videos. This makes YouTube’s suggested selections rather comfort zone-friendly and somewhat boring for me. There’s little challenge to rub against them. Together we get upset about wars, incompetent politicians, and the conformist society, or explore new findings in brain science, […]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I recently attended a seminar on trauma, presented by Professor Bessel van der Kolk who spent many decades of his life as clinical psychiatrist researching and treating the impact of emotional adverse events on the brains and bodies of children and adults. I find that his work validates the understanding of UDIN experiences (unexpected, dramatic, isolating, no strategy) as triggers for changes in the brain, that META-Health adopted from Dr Ryke Geert Hamer. Also, Hamer’s concept of conflict […]
In the newly published study “Childhood adverse life events and skeletal muscle mitochondrial function” [1], researchers could show how adverse events in childhood affect muscle function in later life. Using data from the “Muscle, Mobility and Aging” study, 879 people over the age of 70 were tested for ATP production in their muscle cells. ATP is the energy that muscles use to work. It is produced by the mitochondria in each cell. Mitochondria can sense social stress and respond at […]
One of the strengths of META-Health is that we are undogmatic. We explore and integrate new concepts to understand the soil for health on all levels. Dr Hamer gave us a brilliant understanding of our body’s reactions to conflicts – biological and metaphorical. However, his model leaves gaps in our scope to help people understand their reactions and states – especially chronic dis-eases and the influence of our environment.[…]
“That thing about my hands is funny. Look – what can that be about?” The client showed me his dry palms. The skin was scaly at the borders to the back of hand and fingers. “What are they like, to you?” “Well, like a fisherman’s hands!” was his answer. “A fisherman’s hands?” “Yes, that’s what came up for me. Red, rough hands.” He was used to having soft hands, dancing over a keyboard. “What’s it for a kind of slippery fish you needed to grab, or that slipped out of your hands, before they turned […]
To an increasing extent, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 dominates human life in Europe. There is a lot of speculation about the medical aspects, but the concretely foreseeable social consequences are falling behind more and more, despite the fact that competent scientists, such as the German top-virologist Prof. Christian Drosten from the Charité, are urging to base political decisions on an interdisciplinary scientific discussion [1]: Now is the time when politics absolutely needs a few days of […]
Wim Hof, aka the Iceman, defies the limits of human capacity. He climbed the 5895m high Mount Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts & shoes. He ran through the Namib desert in the same attire, without drinking any water. In wintery fiords, he swam for a distance of 66 meters under the ice. He sat for two hours in a container full of ice and warmed it up with his body temperature. This man is a freak. Or is he?[…]
CO2 has gotten a bad reputation these days. We tend to forget that this gas has vital functions for survival – both for the individual organism, the ecosystem, and the earth. In this article I want to focus on human beings, a widespread stress response, and its connection to some typical dis-ease patterns that science is yet attempting to decode.[…]
