Detoxing Pathways to be Prepared before Starting Weight Loss
Weight loss releases the toxins locked in your body. Before starting a weight loss program, it is important to prepare your detoxing channels.

Breakthrough understandings of cancer that have come about over the last few years have substantially improved the survival of cancer patients. Many people are already out-living their cancer. Using these latest understandings, here are a few things you can do to escape cancer.
In the last post, I wrote about the beginning of the end of type-2 diabetes. Here is something even more sensational:
Science is beginning to understand cancer and…it is turning out to be a pussy!
The current protocol for treating Type-2 Diabetes is out dated on so many counts, it must be outlawed. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to reliably reverse diabetes.
The current treatment protocol for chronic acid-reflux is a crime. To understand why, you will have to first understand how this disease works.
If you haven’t learned about the antibiotic-over-medication disaster we are in the middle of, it is about time you did.
If you haven’t heard the word “microbiome”, this post is going to be the most important thing you read in a long time.
If you are doing some business in neuroscience industry, you will find this somewhat interesting. If not, I can’t possibly imagine why would you spend time reading this.
This article is about how I see the entire neuroscience industry to be falling into a four layered pyramid
It is not a secret that we are facing exponential threats from resource crunch and environmental degradation. This 5 post series argues that in response, we are inventing a new idea age.

There are a bunch of reason for us to believe that we have entered a new age of creativity. Another renaissance. But in its scope, this one will be like no other. By the time it has run its course, humankind would have, I speculate, made a clean break with the past.

Before discussing how human creativity is likely to save the day, we must first understand the origin of ideas, either inside a human head, or across a society. After all, there are striking similarities between both types of idea generation.

We (humans) are facing an imminent danger to the present way of life. Something must change. The popular belief is that change will drastically reverse the decades of advances that we have made in obtaining ourselves substantially better quality of living. Whereas, the popular hope is that we will come out on the other side much stronger than we are today.
Given that I am an ever-hopeful, I fall into the second camp and strongly ‘hope’ that some incredible breakthrough will come along (after all, what is the point in living, if one belongs to the ‘hopeless’ camp). The obvious candidate for the ‘breakthrough is coming’ camp is the exponential technology. That may not be the case.
So was Howard Roark. And, very probably, Ayn Rand was a psychopath too. But they were all so called ‘high functioning’ psychopaths. In other words, they have a psychopath’s psychological make up, but they have used the traits constructively.
Killing negative, worrisome and stressful thoughts is simple. If you use a bit of neuroscience.
Here are a bunch of questions about human sexuality that no one wants to ask. Probably because the answers frighten everyone!
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is easily the most fascinating, misunderstood, contested and over-diagnosed psychiatric condition. Through ADHD, we will see how our brain affects our behavior.
We are naturally inclined to associate only one idea with one person. This innocuous cognitive limitation called generalization is hugely responsible for decoloring people and societies.
Normal is made by mixing a little bit of each color. It results in a dull gray. Eccentrics, on the other hand, is all of few shades and none of the rest. Eccentrics are like a riot of colors.
4 out of 5 writers are known to have incidence of bipolar disorder in their family. 1 in 2 entrepreneurs are known to have ADHD spectrum disorder. People are known to get powerful religious visions after epileptic seizures.
What is going on here? Why haven’t these conditions go away from human gene pool, even though they usually are detrimental to the carrier’s ability to reproduce?
We can’t understand human beings without understanding human sexuality. Recently, I had a post that discussed the orgasmic potential in women. It was well received by people I happen to know in real life. Whereas, for the first time, I had people unsubscribing to the blog updates! I thought I should explain why I keep straying into human sexuality every now and then.
Whenever a belief or an attitude is shared by all (or most) of humanity, it must have offered us a significant survival advantage in our evolutionary past. After all, people without this belief/attitude were wiped off from the gene pool!
In an earlier post, I discussed about how our sense of spirituality is suspected to be an evolutionary by-product. Scientists working on evolution suspect that our compulsion to subscribe to concepts like God and Life-Purpose might have similar evolutionary origins.
In the very first post, I discussed how internet is becoming a very rich source for researchers on human behavior. One such source is a online dating website called OkCupid.
OkCupid has a nice blog, where they keep publishing interesting pieces of researches, based on gargantuan sample size. Compared to their studies, the regular University researches look laughably puny and homogeneous.
These are some of my favorite findings:
We didn’t grow a large brain to help ourselves find better food, fend from predators or to change the very landscape of the planet, like we are doing today. We evolved a large brain hundreds of thousands of years before we did all that.
There is a term called “honest signalling” in evolutionary biology. It is not a new insight, but it is going to form basis for some of the key discussions we are going to have in the future.
