CTS: from another thread:

Quote:

CTS: yes, now I recall your tendency to demand some narrowly defined study to fit your needs and if it doesn't immediately come up you declare victory or something. Such as the global warming issue, where you demanded some particular temperature readings and ignored all else. (You didn't happen to catch the thread where I posted temperature readings from AK, hmm?)
Yet another example of how poor CTS was severely misunderstood. Happens to you a lot, doesn't it?

That was Mal talking, not me, btw. Typo?

Do you see me claiming to be severely misunderstood by Mal?

Re global warming, I did demand a very narrow criterion to be met in order to be convinced, yes. I wanted to see the standard deviation of the average annual global surface temperature, an increase in this average over time, and the increase to be greater than the standard deviation. Mal posted temperature readings from AK, but none of the 3 items in my very narrow criterion. It is extremely difficult to convince me of anything science-wise, yes.

If I am misunderstood, I will clarify what I meant. No big deal. Misunderstandings are bound to happen on forums like this.

CHRIS... while cleaning out my email this past weekend I found this:

GABA CURES TYPE I DIABETES


Must look into this, thanks.

I'm really gone, but I have to say this:


Chris,

There are a number of ways to raise GABA levels, and they should all be looked at in depth, because this will have a lot of other effects, most notably mental ones. (different mental ones)

But the first thing I can tell you is that if you take a GABA supplement, by itself, it will have no effect, because it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Sig: VERY interesting. This must be one of those unusual protein that have a different effect in the body than in the brain. Though, GABA can also cause memory loss. But maybe a balanced intake can be achieved. Or, maybe GABA doesn't pass the blood brain barrier easily, I wouldn't know enough about it.

EDIT: Ah, I see DT got in ahead of me.

Signe, I totally agree that babies should eat dirt, they'll have wayyyyyyy better immune systems later. Obviously we shouldn't let them play in the dog poo patch, but some dirt and sucking on rocks is good for them. We've got this picture of me at about 18 months old sucking unashamedly on a rock in the front yard. I've got an immune system like a steel trap, I don't get sick very often. Part of that is because of dirtsucking but part of that is also because I used to get sick lots and lots when I was little, but once I hit about 8-10 things evened out and I'd caught everything so my body had built up antibodies to it.

I never really mucked around with muck, but, em, my brother did. I don't think I should tell those stories here, they're pretty gross. Suffice to say, children and infants will eat anything, and you better hope what's smeared all over their face is chocolate.

Byte, my brother did that too. I remember whining to my parents, "How come HE got chocolate, and I didn't?"

"Oohh!! That's not chocolate, dear."

Oh, I'm SO glad this thread didn't die while I was away.

You know CTSky, you keep pointing to ONE study and then say THOSE STUDIES.

Now, what exactly do you mean by THOSE STUDIES when you keep pointing to that ONE study? It makes me think that for one thing, you don't know how to count.

So, let's focus on the meta-analyses for a bit. That ONE study you point to - was it included in either meta-analysis? (It couldn't have been included in both you see, as one focused on studies done in the US, the other focused on studies done in Europe.) Do you happen to know which studies WERE included in either or both meta-analyses? Have you looked at ANY of the studies included? Do you know IF any of the studies included were faulty? When you claim THOSE studies are garbage, which MULTIPLE ones do you mean, exactly?

Your pointing to one (irrelevant) study to disparage a whole raft of (unrelated) studies and continuing to stand on your ignorant proclamation, makes you look really, really like poor white trash. I read your posts and all I see is "I don't know nuthin' about nuthin', and no one can tell me different."

Hey. That's an ad hominem. There's a difference between an insult that's also relevant to your point, and something thrown in there because you don't like a person.

We get it. You don't like CTS. Stick to the meta-analysis part and cherry-picking accusation, since those are on topic, but next time, maybe skip the thing where you imply anyone who isn't white is trash, or that poor people are inherently trash.
