Bronx/Brooklyn? I'm a Brooklyn kid (smiling) but you know what? That's changing. I now live in Riverdale (very nice section of the Boogy Down) and I'm (re)discovering the Bronx and it's quite nice actually. I also love Brooklyn, it's where I was born and raised.

The FDA is just another form of control over the population. They would like to find a way to cleanse the planet of all waste including the useless humans

NEW YORK - In 2002, at a Johns Hopkins University laboratory, a business consultant named Dede Osborn took a psychedelic drug as part of a research project.
ADVERTISEMENT

She felt like she was taking off. She saw colors. Then it felt like her heart was ripping open.

But she called the experience joyful as well as painful, and says that it has helped her to this day.

"I feel more centered in who I am and what I'm doing," said Osborn, now 66, of Providence, R.I. "I don't seem to have those self-doubts like I used to have. I feel much more grounded (and feel that) we are all connected."

Scientists reported Tuesday that when they surveyed volunteers 14 months after they took the drug, most said they were still feeling and behaving better because of the experience.

Two-thirds of them also said the drug had produced one of the five most spiritually significant experiences they'd ever had.

The drug, psilocybin, is found in so-called "magic mushrooms." It's illegal, but it has been used in religious ceremonies for centuries.

The study involved 36 men and women during an eight-hour lab visit. It's one of the few such studies of a hallucinogen in the past 40 years, since research was largely shut down after widespread recreational abuse of such drugs in the 1960s.

The project made headlines in 2006 when researchers published their report on how the volunteers felt just two months after taking the drug. The new study followed them up a year after that.

Experts emphasize that people should not try psilocybin on their own because it could be harmful. Even in the controlled setting of the laboratory, nearly a third of participants felt significant fear under the effects of the drug. Without proper supervision, someone could be harmed, researchers said.

Osborn, in a telephone interview, recalled a powerful feeling of being out of control during her lab experience. "It was ... like taking off, I'm being lifted up," she said. Then came "brilliant colors and beautiful patterns, just stunningly gorgeous, more intense than normal reality."

And then, the sensation that her heart was tearing open.

"It would come in waves," she recalled. "I found myself doing Lamaze-type breathing as the pain came on."

Yet "it was a joyful, ecstatic thing at the same time, like the joy of being alive," she said. She compared it to birthing pains. "There was this sense of relief and joy and ecstasy when my heart was opened."

With further research, psilocybin (pronounced SILL-oh-SY-bin) may prove useful in helping to treat alcoholism and drug dependence, and in aiding seriously ill patients as they deal with psychological distress, said study lead author Roland Griffiths of Johns Hopkins.

Griffiths also said that despite the spiritual characteristics reported for the drug experiences, the study says nothing about whether God exists.

"Is this God in a pill? Absolutely not," he said.

The experiment was funded in part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The results were published online Tuesday by the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

Fourteen months after taking the drug, 64 percent of the volunteers said they still felt at least a moderate increase in well-being or life satisfaction, in terms of things like feeling more creative, self-confident, flexible and optimistic. And 61 percent reported at least a moderate behavior change in what they considered positive ways.

That second question didn't ask for details, but elsewhere the questionnaire answers indicated lasting gains in traits like being more sensitive, tolerant, loving and compassionate.

Researchers didn't try to corroborate what the participants said about their own behavior. But in the earlier analysis at two months after the drug was given, researchers said family and friends backed up what those in the study said about behavior changes. Griffiths said he has no reason to doubt the answers at 14 months.

Dr. Charles Grob, a professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, called the new work an important follow-up to the first study.

He said it is helping to reopen formal study of psychedelic drugs. Grob is on the board of the Heffter Research Institute, which promotes studies of psychedelic substances and helped pay for the new work.

Hi, folks
For the latest study, it was
The most common diseases associated with are chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholism, and ( scarring of the liver ). Moreover, chronic viral hepatitis is common in alcoholism, and both and alcoholism cause cirrhosis which usually precedes the development of cancer. Therefore, the contributions and interrelationships of , viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis in the development of liver cancer are complex. Despite the complexity, it is important to try to understand the contributions of each disease so that patients at highest risk for liver cancer can be targeted for . Theoretically, they also might be targeted with treatments that prevent the development of liver cancer, when such treatments are developed.
A practical study published in October 2007 has extended important the latest about the homogeneity of liver cancer to chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholism, and cirrhosis. This is a manly study owing to it used the records of Swedish health registries to discern patients for inclusion in the study. The Swedish registries consist of cleverness on the entire society of Sweden. They are hefty and whole registries and dominion been in avail for multifarious age. In materiality, they posses provided a treasure of score about rife diseases.
An analysis of the Swedish data demonstrated that among patients with alcoholism slick was slightly more than a coupled accrual in the risk of liver cancer in that compared with the general human relay. This insufficient development suggests that alcoholism alone is not strongly related to the development of liver cancer. On the other hand, patients who were alcoholics but also developed cirrhosis, presumably since a settlement of their alcoholism, had a 22 - commune aggrandizement in the risk of liver cancer in that compared with the general general public. Remarkably, the development of cirrhosis in alcoholics substantially increases the risk for liver cancer.
Patients with chronic viral hepatitis had a 34 - district greater risk for liver cancer because compared with the general humans. Patients with both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis, however, had a much greater burgeoning in the development of liver cancer - - 118 - district. ( Presumably, the cirrhosis was caused by the chronic hepatitis. ) Decidedly, the combination of chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis has a exact well-made association with the development of liver cancer. This association is much stronger than the association of the combination of alcoholism and cirrhosis with liver cancer. The stronger association with viral hepatitis than alcohol supports a greater role for the hepatitis viruses through compared with alcohol in promoting liver cancer.
What can we conclude from this study ? Primeval, the risk of liver cancer is remarkably fresh in patients with chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis. The risk also is another in patients who are alcoholic and own cirrhosis, although the risk is less. Second, if we craving to substantially prevent the development of liver cancer, we duty spot patients before they evolve cirrhosis and accordingly prevent cirrhosis. Third, existing and newer techniques for liver cancer surveillance probably should be applied to all patients with both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis and possibly to patients with both alcoholism and cirrhosis. Fourth,we need to develop better techniques for liver cancer surveillance. A satisfactory solution to the problem of liver cancer in chronic viral hepatitis and alcoholism will not be quick or easy.
With all the best

Just checking in. I have always dug your music that I heard at GB. I see keyboardist Scott Brown there. He's a killer keyboardist. He and I did a project together probably 20 years ago (he was much happening/at ease with the funk style and the scene so I let him have it:)
Any way. Keep knocking em dead. Will write soon!
