#MTHFR – THE IATROGENIC GENE??
#MTHFR discovered in mid-1990's.
#MTHFR plays essential role in DNA and protein methylation-important epigenetic mechanism used by cells to control gene expression.1/
Pharmacogenomics studies the relationship between genetic variations and how our body responds to medications.2/
What happens when things go wrong?
Defective imprinting mechanisms/abnormalities in methylation can result in predisposition to diseases–cancer,muscular dystrophy,cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's,autism,rheumatoid arthritis,pregnancy complications,leukemia,various neoplasms.
What if the MTHFR gene is the gene of iatrogensis caused by chemical drugs and cross-generational overload of vaccines – one of the major players in the chronic disease landscape observed in the past several decades?
Suppose there is a grain of truth to this – what will happen in a few generations from now – would we see these inherent iatrogenically-induced chronic diseases become more debilitating and bleeding into younger age groups?
Is chronic disease something humanity is determined to write into the the permanent record of our gene pool? Have we unlocked the “iatrogenic gene”?

Autism rates in the U.S. have reached epidemic proportions. One in 36 boys now has some form of autism. Autism rates have increased exponentially since the increase in the vaccine schedule set by the CDC.
The increase in the number of childhood vaccines coincides with the 1986 ruling, exempting vaccine manufacturers from liability. If we have increased the number of vaccines a child receives, we have, in turn, increased the number of toxins a child is exposed to.

Something to think about:
"Facts Don't Change Our Minds. Friendship Does."
“Humans are herd animals. We want to fit in, to bond with others, and to earn the respect and approval of our peers. Such inclinations are essential to our survival.
For most of our evolutionary history, our ancestors lived in tribes. Becoming separated from the tribe—or worse, being cast out—was a death sentence.”
We don't always believe things because they are correct.
Sometimes we believe things because they make us look good to the people we care about.
Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties.

Let's look at some history that reminds us of the horrors of vaccination that continues to plague humanity today. Seems we haven't learned a thing!

A question I never really asked until my mid-20's: If the Bible was supposed to be so important, what mechanism did Jesus put in place to make sure it would one day get compiled into a single book?

I realized that whatever that mechanism was, I needed to be in communion with it.
And of course, looking around my American protestant landscape at the time, I wondered: if the Bible wasn't yet a book, which present-day denomination could I trust to make sure it became one? Would the Methodists, Baptists, etc. of today come up with the same table of contents?
In order for there to be a consensus on what the Bible's table of contents were to be, there had to be a consensus on what authority could legitimately put out that table of contents.

Thread: Building a strong DNA matched tree
#Adoptee #DNA #FamilySearch #FamilyTree

I wanted to expand on my paternal search methods as to help others in a similar situation. Evidence, both DNA and documentation, is central to supporting any conclusions.
As I said in my last thread, I found that my paternal matches fell into three family groups: Petronius, Tütscher & Tyneslawe. But that wasn't enough information to support my hypothesis. I could build a tree for each family but it had to be supportable by the facts.
I started by building a tree based on:
1.Birth and Death certificates
2.Marriage and divorce documents
3.Federal and/or state census
4.Other Government documents such as court rulings, land grants, etc.

some thoughts & data inspired by the thought-provoking and carefully conducted @rkwadhera @rwyeh @kejoynt @Changyushen312 et al study on CMS hospital readmissions reduction program (HRRP). to get things started, here's some info on pneumonia index admissions in FFS medicare.
@rkwadhera @rwyeh @kejoynt @Changyushen312 the question is: did HRRP cause an increase in mortality? while medical journals don't allow causal language outside RCTs, i'm talking about this research because i think it's informative about the causal effect! otherwise it's just 'association of 2012-2015 with mortality'
@rkwadhera @rwyeh @kejoynt @Changyushen312 to answer the causal Q, we need to know what would have happened to mortality absent HRRP: the counterfactual. while it's seriously helpful to establish one using a plausible comparison group — for HRRP, that's similar hospitals not subject to it — sometimes one doesn't exist.

Sat in High Court. The grounds of @UKEUchallenge are going to ensure some revealing facts emerge about this #brexit.

The notification of withdrawal act 2017 merely gave the PM permission to notify a decision which hasn’t been made according to our constitutional requirements.
The PM’s decision which @A50challenge ensured was located is illegitimate.

How can one person make a decision which impacts on every EU citizen ?

@financialeyes
Court cannot quash result of the ref bc it was not legally binding. Claimants seek declaration result is invalid bc of breach of spending &fraud. Gov are treating something which was advisory as binding. Ct plays essential role in looking at process which led to this result.

Because I do believe that it's important to know the history of your field and inspired by @carlzimmer @matthewcobb & Michel Morange's books that contain some fantastic material for teaching, a thread with some #classicpaper in #molecularbiology #DNA
1⃣ 1944 Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod & Maclyn McCarty - DNA, not protein as was commonly believed, is the hereditary material for bacteria, and the cause of bacterial transformation jem.rupress.org/content/79/2/1…
2⃣ 1947 André Boivin & Roger Vendrely - a near forgotten 2 pages in French that suggest almost explicitly that DNA --> RNA --> protein link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Fromt he Chans:
"Here is a long discussion, but basically Charles Grassley called in Joe Pientka to testify.
Never heard that name before? That’s the OTHER FBI agent with Deep Stroke who interviewed Flynn & who said Flynn didn’t lie. You say, “Wait, why haven’t we heard that name?”
Because Sessions/Horowitz had him on ice for six months. They knew this six months ago. See why there are things going on here that don’t fit the “sleepy Jeff” meme?
