In the first half, "emissary" to the Zetas, Nancy Lieder shared telepathic messages from the ETs about Earth changes and Planet X. The rogue planet entered our solar system in 2003, then crept past the sun, and is now headed back toward Earth, causing wobbling and the twisting of our magnetic field, she claimed. Planet X has been observed as a second sun rising or setting with the Sun, and the moons that trail it are seen as bright orbs, she added. The Zetas have told her of a ten-step scale that will lead to a cataclysmic pole shift, and we are currently at stage 7, she said. The pace is picking up, with the jet stream knocked out of whack, and now we #39;re going to get huge tsunamis due to the increased wobble of the Earth, Lieder continued. She also described her visit to Planet X, which she characterized as more of a water planet than ours. Interestingly, she noted that they don #39;t see stars in the sky, as their atmosphere is coated in a milky dust cloud. ---------------------- In the latter half, contactee Judy Carroll explained her relationship with the Zetas ...From:USAMOONBASEViews:1 0ratingsTime:01:15:21More inEducation

Gene SNP Overview | Qstore99
http://www.qstore99.com When it comes to our bodies, we want to make choices that have a positive impact on our health. But some of those decisions -- eating the wrong foods, making certain lifestyle choices, even the way we exercise -- could impact our body #39;s ability to maintain optimum health. Even if we think we #39;re making the right choices, there are other factors that help determine our overall picture of health. Genetics play a huge role in how our bodies process nutrients, how they respond to activity and how we react to our environment and surroundings. When it comes to your health, the answers are in your genes. Your DNA tells a story: how you process foods, how you react to exercise, how your environment affects your body, how your family history plays a part in your health. What if you could learn about your health with a simple test, one that could give you realistic and reasonable recommendations to promote your quality of life? It #39;s time to make informed decisions about your health -- no more guesswork, just facts.

Fethullah Gulen - Islam and Reincarnation
[Fethullah Gulen | Questions and Answers about Islam | Reincarnation] Q: Is Reincarnation Compatible With Islam? A: Reincarnation (tanasukh) refers to the doctrine that after death the soul moves on to inhabit another body, then dies again and moves on to another body, until there is no longer any reason for it to do so. It is incompatible with Islam. Belief in some form of reincarnation can be found in almost all societies, whether primitive or sophisticated. Variations exist according to local and regional differences in faith and popular culture. In the most materialistic societies, whose formal culture denies spiritual life, it is almost fashionable in some circles to hold such pseudo-religious beliefs and claim-whether seriously or not-that the spirits of the dead wander about, sometimes assume physical form, and can influence the living until they settle into their new bodies. One argument for this doctrine #39;s antiquity is the "evidence" found in ancient literature, such as Ovid #39;s (d. 18 CE) colorful extravagances in which "gods" take on human and animal forms, humans assume different shapes, and so on. But these tales do not constitute a doctrine. The doctrine proper has nothing to do with colorful changes of form, but with a belief that an individual soul must pass through every level of creation and every species of life-form, whether animate or inanimate, sentient or non-sentient. If we reflect upon this, we soon realize that the doctrine is really a strange ...From:HizmetVolunteerViews:0 0ratingsTime:27:33More inNonprofits Activism

SACRED GEOLOGY ON EARTH AND VENUS (Divine Impressions Prophetic Art, Part II)
In March/April 2012, a group of art forms in the geology of Earth and Venus were revealed that corresponded with the Book of Revelations and the Aztec Legend of Creation (respectively) and ancient Sumerian accounts. There are no words to adequately describe how this information download came through that fully appreciates its enormity. I took the images that were revealed through "spiritual guidance" (for lack of a better term) and used GoogleEarth and Photoshop together to help others "see" what was in the landscape, and understand the message. Then I plugged some of them into this YouTube video. I #39;m not an expert at this, in fact, quite the opposite. The word Apocalypse simply means "the revealing" with regard to the End of Days. What I #39;m saying here is that all of the visions described by John in his Apocalypse have been revealed and decoded by these mountain images in the foundations of Earth. Can you think of a better way to expose the truth, if you were God? Unfettered by the hands of man? From my perspective, these planetary images absolutely explain John #39;s visions, and stand above and beyond any human attempt at interpretation. These images were not created by humans, and its difficult to fathom how they got there. Even today, we have no technology that could do this type of art on this large of a scale (not to mention the art on Venus). These art forms correlate to the raw basics of what John said he was shown. Likewise, the images on Venus validate the Aztec ...From:DivineImpressions PropheticArtViews:20 0ratingsTime:08:06More inScience Technology

Receding Gums Cure - How to Treat Receding Gums Effectively
More Information About Receding Gums Cure ...Go Visit tinyurl.com Receding gums and other problems in the mouth can seriously affect one #39;s health. In some individuals, gums may recede as a result of genetics. Fortunately, there are steps that everyone can take to aid in prevention, stopping and even reversing "periodontal disease." "Periodontal" means "located around a tooth." Since the roots of teeth are exposed by receding gums, teeth will become sensitive to temperatures and sweet foods and the pleasure from eating will be significantly diminished. As we age, there is a tendency for gums to recede, making it important to take steps early to address the condition. Receding gums may be the result of missing teeth, so try to save natural teeth (opt for a root canal rather than extraction when possible). Receding gums can cause teeth to decay more rapidly.From:sniderlakeViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:42More inHowto Style

The most severely affected tissues are the myelin in the central nervous system, the adrenal cortex and the Leydig cells in the testes. Clinically, ALD is a heterogenous disorder, presenting with several distinct phenotypes, and no clear pattern of genotype-phenotype correlation. As an X-linked disorder, ALD presents most commonly in males, however approximately 50% of heterozygote females show some symptoms later in life. Approximately one-third of ALD patients will present with the childhood cerebral form of the disease, which is the most severe form.

cord blood registry | The Development of Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Therapy
http://www.cordbloodrecommendation.com These diseases include blood related, genetic and neurotic disorders. ""Banking the umbilical cord blood when your baby is born is a relatively new idea, the first operation using it to help cure a child with Leukemia was only done a little over 10 years ago. After processing of cells, comes the next procedure of cord blood preservation. There is also another option given by non-profit cord blood banks, of free programs through which one can store umbilical cord blood stem cell samples. A man can change his god-gifted features wishfully with the help of science. Given the progress that stem cell research and regenerative medicine have attained at present, and the promise that they show for the future, stem cell transplants may one day provide a cure for type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and brain injury, among other potentially life threatening and debilitating illnesses and conditions with inadequate treatment options today. With people not fully understanding how important stem cells could be for us, everybody agrees that more research need to be done in order to help understand all that. If there is any complication during delivery, the entire idea is abandoned. It is always wise to preserve this waste blood of the baby which is otherwise thrown away.

Stem cells achieve sustained heart function improvement in heart attack patients
From Louisville - Stem cell therapy has been shown to sustain heart function improvement in heart attack patients in a phase 1 clinical presented at the AHA #39;s Scientific Sessions. The trial, known as SCIPIO for Stem Cell Infusion in Patients with Ischemic CardiOmyopathy, randomized 33 patients diagnosed with heart failure after suffering a heart attack to either cardiac stem cells or no stem cells. Researchers found that patients who received the stem cells had great improvement in their heart function, and that this improvement was sustained 2 years following infusion. Patients who did not receive stem cells had no improvement. There were no adverse effects of the treatment. One patient #39;s heart experienced such dramatic improvement that there was no sign of heart failure at all. Said Dr. Roberto Bolli, lead author of the study, "Anyone who looks at his heart now would not imagine that this patient was (ever) in heart failure or that he had a heart attack."From:insidermedicineViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:59More inScience Technology

NeoStem, Inc. (NYSE:NBS ("NeoStem" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in the fast growing cell therapy industry, today announced that it has been awarded a two year grant totaling $1,221,854 for "Repair of Bone Defects with Human Autologous Pluripotent Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSEL)", grant number 2R44DE022493-02A1, from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This peer reviewed grant is to support a Phase 2 investigation and first approved NIH clinical study of VSELsTM in humans. The study will be headed by Denis O. Rodgerson, Ph.D., Director of Grants and Academic Liaison for NeoStem, in collaboration with co-investigators Drs. Russell Taichman and Laurie McCauley of the University of Michigan. Enrollment for this study is expected to begin in 2013.

This award will fund the evaluation of VSELTM stem cells as a potential treatment for periodontitis. The product candidate, an autologous therapy derived from a patient's own stem cells, is to be developed for use in the regeneration of bone tissue damaged by this disease. The award includes $706,682 for the first year and $515,172 for the second year of the project, and will cover the cost of the Investigational New Drug (IND) submission to the FDA for the product candidate.

Dr. Denis O. Rodgerson, Director of Grants and Academic Liaison for NeoStem, said, "We are pleased and honored that NIH has agreed to support further studies on bone regeneration by using VSELTM stem cells. This is an extension of our successful NIH funded collaboration with Dr. Taichman showing the production of human bone from human VSELsTM in a mouse model."

Periodontal disease is prevalent in the U.S. and affects up to 90% of the world population. The most severe cases of periodontal disease affect between 5% and 15% of the U.S. population, or between 15 and 47 million Americans. The incidence of periodontal disease is estimated to be between 1 and 3 million Americans annually, and growing at a 7% rate each year. Studies have shown that periodontal inflammation could have a role in the initiation or progression of coronary heart disease and stroke. Market research experts have estimated that severe periodontal disease represents a market between $1.25 and $1.5 billion annually.

Dr. Russell Taichman, Major Ash Collegiate Professor and Co-Director of the Scholars Program in Dental Leadership, Department of Periodontics & Oral Medicine, University of Michigan stated, "I am thrilled for the possibilities that this award opens. The chance to continue to partner with NeoStem to further develop regenerative therapies is significant. The validation that this award brings and the opportunity to establish a proof of concept, which may impact human health, is truly rewarding." Dr. Laurie McCauley, The William K. and Mary Anne Najjar Professor, Division of Periodontics Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, University of Michigan added, "This novel cell based therapeutic approach looks to validate scientifically sound pre-clinical studies and provide a vital translation to improved human patient care."

NeoStem has a worldwide exclusive license to VSEL technology which uses very small embryonic-like stem cells, a heterogeneous population of stem cells found in adult bone marrow that have properties similar to those of embryonic stem cells. NeoStem has shown that very small embryonic-like stem cells can be mobilized into the peripheral blood, enabling a minimally invasive means for collecting what it believes to be an important population of stem cells that may have the potential to achieve the positive benefits associated with embryonic stem cells without the ethical or moral dilemmas or the potential negative biological effects associated with embryonic stem cells.

Dr. Robin L. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NeoStem, added, "We are very excited about this important step of funding for what will be the first human clinical study for our VSELTM technology. Not only will this study expand our knowledge of how autologous cell therapy can treat periodontitis and other bone defects, but it represents a milestone for NeoStem as we move our development of VSELTM technology beyond animal models and into the clinic, paving the way for other potential VSELTM trials."

NeoStem Receives Notification Of $1.2 million NIH Grant Award For First Clinical Study Of VSELTM Technology In Humans

MANILA, Philippines - A ranking official of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) considers immoral the embryonic stem cell therapy reportedly being used by politicians and actors for aesthetic purposes.

In an interview with Radio Veritas, CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Bioethics Chairman and Malolos Bishop Jose Oliveros said this medical procedure is against the belief of the Church. He said they are still assessing if the same could be said for stem cells from animals.

Pero yung sinasabi nila na pampabata sa mga politician at celebrities na sumailalim sa stem cell therapy ay immoral. Puwede namang ma-improve ang mukha ng isang tao, but it should be moral. Kapag gumamit ka ng immoral ay mali na yun, he said.

Embryo is still a maturing fetus.

He said the CBCP will come out with a pastoral statement regarding the matter once they are able to clarify certain matters with the Department of Health (DOH).

The DOH earlier warned people from using stem cells from aborted babies and human embryos.

The Philippine government will not allow the use of aborted fetuses or human embryosThere is a need to ensure that the biological raw materials are documented and validated and follow infection-free procedures, the DOH earlier said.

There is also a need to know if the materials to be injected came from animal or human tissues, it added.

Stem cell therapy is immoral - bishop

People with particular variants of a gene known as FTO, the largest genetic factor behind obesity, are eight per cent less likely to suffer from depression, a new study found.

The findings, which are the first to link the gene with protection against depression, could help explain why some people are happier than others.

They question the common assumption that obesity and depression are mutually reinforcing that obese people are more prone to become depressed because of their appearance, and depressed people are more likely to gain weight because of a less active lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits.

Dr David Meyre, senior author of the study, said: "The difference of eight per cent is modest and it won't make a big difference in the day-to-day care of patients, but we have discovered a novel molecular basis for depression."

Previous research on twins and other siblings have suggested that depression may be up to 40 per cent hereditary, but no studies have been able to firmly link particular genes to the condition.

In the new study, the scientists examined data on 17,200 DNA samples donated by volunteers from 21 different countries as part of a wider project by the Population Health Research Institute.

They found that the variant in the FTO gene, which has already been shown to raise the risk of obesity, was also linked to a lower depression risk. The same link was later identified in three other large international studies.

Obesity gene linked to happiness

The search for genes predisposing people to depression has taken an unexpected twist, according to Canadian researchers who found a clue in an obesity gene.

Studies on families and twins suggest depression has a genetic component, but for 15 years, scientists haven't been able to find genes associated with the illness.

Researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., took a different approach by testing how obesity genes may be linked with depression.

"We found the first gene predisposing to depression with consistent results," said David Meyre, an associate professor in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics at McMaster and a Canada Research Chair in genetic epidemiology.

In Monday's issue of the journal Molecular Psychiatry, Meyre and his co-authors reported that a variant of the FTO gene may be associated with a lower risk of depression independent of the gene's effect on obesity.

The common perception is that obese people become depressed because of their appearance and poor self-esteem or discrimination. Another common thought is that those who are depressed are less likely to be physically active or follow healthy eating habits. Taking antidepressants can also lead to weight gain.

But the genetic findings challenge that thinking, Meyre said, since those with the genetic mutation predisposing to obesity were protected from depression.

"This suggests that the FTO gene may have a broader role than initially thought with an effect on depression and other common psychiatric disorders," the researchers wrote.

The protective effect showed up not just once or twice but in four different studies of people of various ethnicities around the world.

In total, the researchers analyzed FTO gene mutations in 6,591 people with depression in standard screening and more than 21,000 others who werent diagnosed with depression.

Obesity gene may help protect against depression

A new study suggests that early risers are more likely to pass away before lunchtime, whereas late sleepers tend to kick the bucket around dinner

Do you have an expiration date? A new study that examines the body's circadian rhythms suggests that while we might not be able to pinpoint the day you'll die, we might be able to get a rough idea of the time of day. Here's what you should know:

First off: What's a circadian rhythm? The body's internal clock that regulates what time we wake up, when we feel most awake, and what time we start feeling sleepy. Each individual's rhythm is sensitive to outside factors like daylight and time zone changes, though recent studies have demonstrated that gene mutations can also cause a person's circadian rhythms to vary. That's why some people are "morning people" while others can barely get themselves out of bed. And now, a new study from the neurological department of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston claims that we can use these gene mutations to assess what time of day a person might die.

How was this research conducted? Researchers combed through 15 years of data from a sleep study originally conducted at Rush University in Chicago. This study took a look at roughly 500 seniors over age 65, all of whomwore an actigraph, which closely tracks your sleeping habits. Many of the subjects also had their DNA collected, and had physical and psychological evaluations performed. Before the study was finished, many of the participants had also died providing researchers with many subjects' exact time of death.

What did researchers discover? First, certain nucleotides helped determine each subject's natural sleeping patterns. For example: People with the genotype "A-A" tended to be early risers, waking up a full hour earlier than people on the other end of the spectrum, or late sleepers born with the genotype "G-G." Most of us fall somewhere in the middle with a gene configuration "A-G" a full 48 percent of us are born with this broader, A-G configuration and tend to wake up sometime between the early birds and the late sleepers.

How do these gene patterns relate to death? This is where things get a little weird: People born with either an A-A or A-G genotype tended to die just before 11 a.m; Late sleepers with a G-G genotype, on the other hand, generally died just before 6 p.m.

Why is this?"Virtually all physiological processes have a circadian rhythm" including death, says BIDMC Chief of Neurology Clifford Saper. Researchers speculate that as the elderly patients inched closer to death's door, their usual social commitments became less of a factor in their daily lives, allowing their circadian rhythms to assert more authority and the times of their death to be dictated, at least in part, by their genes.
