Let me now conclude with my understanding of this occurrence. For me it was an affirmation of: anything that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood. My mistake, in the original post, was phrasing it in a way that could be interpreted as an inquiry to the meaning of engram; rather than, a...

1. When I called your post "wildly inaccurate", that was because you said: "the term 'engram' comes from Scientology and was pretty much invented by L. Ron Hubbard." which is wildly inaccurate. Scientology hijacking the word does not equate to L. Ron Hubbard inventing it. a) When I said...

Who said he was wrong? When did I make any reference to Scientology in my question or example? Have I mistakenly posted in the Scientology section? Is it strange that the two people, which responded thus far, have heard the term 'engram' attributed to Scientology but not neuro-psychology...

On an educational forum, know the topic and the answer to the question if you are going to post a reply. Assumptions and vague recollections confuse the issue, and sometimes spread misconceptions.

If one sees something that instantly annoys them (without conscious thought put into making themselves annoyed), would this programmed habit of being annoyed be called an engram? e.g. One comes upon something left where it "shouldn't" be, for the 100th time (and becomes annoyed).

I've heard that the human body completely renews all of its cells in seven years; the pancreas in 24 hours. I've been trying to find a website that lists the turnover rates for each organ, tissue or type of cell. If anyone has a link or a book with that kind of information, let me know...

hah, I'm guessing you didn't read it and just scrolled to the end. they cite where the information comes from throughout the article. but, you keep living in your safe skeptical world where only the lack of references can hurt you. heaven forbid anyone takes the advice of someone trying to help...

I don't know... are you afraid to learn the truth about microwaves? All the information is from multiple scientific studies.

If your co-workers had half the common sense they claim to have, they wouldn't be using microwave ovens. If your reason for posting was simply to learn of the effects it has on bacteria, I can't offer anything more. If you are genuinely concerned about health you should first, stop using...

in my mind, the first place to start is individual biochemical needs. since we can now move ourselves and our food thousands of miles in a day, this has become much more complicated. we need to know the perfect amount of nutrients (not to much, not to little) to consume in a day. that...

i guess you responded before i added the quote. if you are actually interested in more than internet hearsay i would highly recommend reading that book. it will spell it all out for you, and cite where the information came from. the author is a Ph.D. and is an older gentleman, so its a lifetime...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0970656009/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Chapter Nine "When is a Tomato a Tomato?" "Comparisons of organic and commercially grown foods are also revealing. Smith (1993), over a two year period, purchased apples, pears, potatoes, wheat and corn from markets in Chicago. These were...

fair enough. organic food and farming is one of the few simple, yet very positive (for the planet and people) movements humans are involved in right now. I am guessing you were referring mostly to the vinegar when you said "health food misinformation and basic scamming". since vinegar isn't...

saying the same thing twice doesn't make it true. also, you are assuming i "believe the hype", which i dont. what i had a problem with was you claiming there is "health food misinformation and basic scamming of people". then to prove your point, you use an article that might as well be counter...

im sorry but if everyone is going to be a source and reference nazi on this forum i have to point out that your "excellent article" is pretty pathetic. how many references are there? none. how many facts are in the article? none. the author lists a bunch of claims and then responds by making...
