Clueless about "Alzheimer's Disease"!

I am watching a news report about people examining brains to find a CURE for "Alzheimer's Disease" - rather than to actually FIND "Alzheimer's Disease." W.T.F.???

[What is the difference between "Dementia" and "Alzheimer's" ?????
Is it a posh euphemism for a deteriorating lifestyle??.......
Where the feck is the (biological) illness??.......]

...........................

The above just find this very hard to believe. Tests my faith in the human intellect.

-------------------------------------------------

A DISEASE = A DISEASE = A DISEASE =
"a demonstrable defined biological process, lesion, infection etc."

"SYMPTOMS"                    DO NOT=/ A DIAGNONSENSE......
"SYMPTOMS"                    DO NOT=/ A DISEASE........
"TREATMENT"                  DOES NOT =/ A DISEASE.....

Who was Alzheimer?
And where the feck did he leave his disease??? - coz no fecker can find it!!!.....

The Original Title of the Blog!

The original title of this blog was - "Nerve Science Is Nonsense."

Perhaps many people would say that I should have stuck with that! :)

If I say "X,Y,Z is NONSENSE!" then it may be true or partly true.
But my purpose in affirming that may be to try and get others to EXAMINE whether
the view ("x,y,z is nonsense") is correct or not!

RHETORIC is about HOW TO PERSUADE!
Science IDEALLY should be free of rhetoric!

The current title is maybe more RHETORICAL, DIPLOMATIC and CONCILIATORY and hence will persuade people to do what is important.

ID EST - CONSIDER FOR THEMSELVES (in the light of anything this blog may add)
if, how and why "Nerve Science" MAY be nonsense!......

"The important thing is not to stop questioning,"
Albert Einstein.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning EVEN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW!"

- is an addition that would perhaps be made by the sceptic filosofer,
Francisco Sanches (1560-1623),
author of
"Quod nihil scitur" (On How Nothing Is Known), 1581.

Never Mind the annoyance of Nerve Science - how about the shame of Nerve Ethics?

Never Mind the annoyance of Nerve Science - how about the shame of Nerve Ethics?

Neuroethics - the mere word provokes in me deep moral anxiety.

USAmerican Pscyhology would do well to go back to one of its roots!

The US American William James - a founder of modern psychology - is the originator of the vitally important quote

"Psychology is not a science ; it is the hope of a science."

It is we ourselves that we are studying - hence objectivity is - James implies here - IMPOSSIBLE.

This humility is needed very much today - far more than when William James lived - since US psychology is fully in the grips of Nerve Science.

Nervous Disposition!

Maybe "Nerve Science" could help people determine if they are of a "nervous disposition"....

...........

Just a suggestion.

Just trying to help!....

Visceroscience

As a Professor of Visceroscience my gut feeling about Neuroscience is that it is often rather indigestible.

It is the belief of Nervescience that the Brain is like a computer.

We Visceroscientists also affirm that the Stomach is like a computer!

The stomach itself is like a large hard disk.
Into which the software of food is put.
Like in real life the "software" is then processed into some other shite.....

:D

-------------------------------------

"Neurophilosophy" is also a recent neologism from my Favorite Cuntry in the Whole Wide World - the USA!...

I can't actually transcribe the torrent of abuse that I produced on first hearing this word.

And for me that means it must have been serious! ;)

Erm.

Nervefilosofy

Stomachfilosofy

Legfilosofy

Kidneyfilosofy

Erm.

Erm.

Arrrrgh.

Arrrrrggggh.

The BCN - Brain and Central Nervous System.

In Anatomy, Physiology, Medicine etc..... the Brain and Nervous System are ONE BODY SYSTEM - made of the same kind material and functioning as one. The "BCN". ......

Brain Science and Neuroscience are indeed usually interchangeable SYNONYMOUS terms - reflecting this scientific truth.

But this terminology needs "tightening up" and it would be helpful to do so I think.

Therefore Neuroscience could be called Brainscience - and indeed it is.

And hence Neurofilosofy - could be called Brainfilosofy or even Cerebrofilosofy!.....

hmmmmm.......

Where "Science" is rendered as "o-Logy" from "Logos" - one could end up with....

Neurology - which is simply a branch of Medicine concerned with the physical nervous system.

--------------------------------------------------------------


"Nervescience" as we practise it NOWADAYS is about observing and measuring "Neurotransmitters" and "electrical brain scans".

Neurotransmitters are biochemical human substances..... like enzymes except in the nervous system.....

Far too much is concluded and extended from what is observed from such data......

Neurotransmitters like Dopamine work in relation to extremely basic body functions - like eating, breathing, sleeping.....

They have NOTHING AT ALL to do with emotions and decisions.

Interfering with them has no or little effect on anything ANYWAY.

Let alone on anyone's behavior, emotions, thorts or feelings.....

Interfering with them - in the context of "Psychiatric" poisoning - usually means DESTROYING them and their functioning as well as the nervous system itself.



"Neuroleptic" LITERALLY means - destroys the nerves.

The chemical cosh that bashes your body to smithereens!

Worse than a real cosh!....

So-called "Neurospychiatry" ("Nerve-Mind-Healing") is a PSEUDOSCIENCE and one of the most damaging crimes against humanity that has been known to us.

Harsh condemnation. Fully warranted.

------------------------------------

NEUROLOGY is a branch of Medicine (or what is left of it) concerned with the (fisiological) nerves and the treatment of fisiolojical problems of the nerves and the nervous system!......

NEUROSCIENCE - a frightening new entity from the USA - is something surprisingly different!......

.......

--------------------------------------------------------------

Mood is almost entirely subjective and a choice.

The idea that a substance can change one's mood is almost as wicked as the idea the the state of one's mood can in itself constitute an "illness" anyway.

An excess of "serotonin" - supposedly a "cure" for something that does not and cannot exist - the "illness" of "depression" - will only harm and destroy body systems.

The "medication" is only officially THORT to cause this anyway!

And then this effect - an excess of "serotonin" - is then THORT to have effects. :) :O

As with all neurotransmitters they are always concerned with BASIC BODY FUNCTION -appetite, sleep etc.

NOT moods or thorts or feelings.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Possibly the biggest factor in ending anyone's "depression" is their realizing that it does not and cannot exist as an illness. 

[ :) ].

In my experience, what gets labelled "depression" (for example) is almost always related to beliefs and beliefs about life events - not physiology (other than basic health).

Telling someone that they have an "illness" when they obviously do not can never help.
