this book sounds interesting: 'POX', genius, madness and the mysteries of Syphilis.. it questions

[sam sarrha]

whether he the megalomaniacs of the past were cerebral syphilis..

this begs the question whether Lyme disease today may be causing some of the madness we see today..

and what does * do all the time in Texas.. crawl around in the brush and feed Ticks... he is perhaps the only Connecticut Yankee in Texas that actually 'Clears Brush'.. why.?? just to destroy animal habitat or maybe get Lyme disease and become a megalomaniac.. it seems that some people that get it have problems related to personality.. only 1 in 40 get diagnosed.. in the 80's there was Halcyon and others and people like the guy that killed all the people on the subway Xmas eve.. apparently if you didn't go to sleep on it you could commit some pretty heinous crimes.. like invade small defenseless islands in the Caribbean islands and defenseless countries

1. That does sound interesting.

In the Pretzel's case however I think we're looking at an inherited personality disorder. Babs obviously has problems and the twins aren't quite right either. On the other hand, maybe they've all been bitten by the deer tick. Who knows?

2. it can explain a lot of Bat Shit Crazy folks you hear about every day.. but they will never allow th...

truth out.. they might have to spend some money curing a disease instead of making another hard-on pill..or something that doesn't cure but allows them to collect rent on what quality of life you have left after the side effects, if the public get wind of it..

check out http://www.maddear.com and follow the links.. check out the Red Zone

independant studdies have shown that 12 to 16% of Alzhimers is actually CJD or some form of PRION dieease simular to madcow.. noting kills Prions.. they surveve 1200*F heat, prue clorine.. and can jump species in 4 generations

i entirely agree that Bu$h is just a wet brain alcoholic drug addict, delusional pathalogical narcisist..

3. I had Lyme disease

about 30 years ago and I'm no nuttier than I ever was. How nutty that is can be up for debate. Just leave me out of it.

I'd rather blame crackpot Calvinism joined with Rand and bleated all over the airwaves as to blame for the upswing of nuttiness, helped along by Millennial Fever and growing economic desperation.

Tertiary syphilis (which I've actually seen) could create violent insanity in some, but caused a lucky few to experience a permanent, happy drunk. Antibiotics will still kill the bugs, but the mental changes are permanent.

I rather think the megalomaniacs of the past had other problems, probably bipolar disease, personality disorders, or were charismatic sociopaths, just like they are today. The religious nuttiness of the past can largely be blamed on ergotism.

4. I have never heard the word "ergotism" until just now.

Suddenly I think I know what's wrong with my inlaws. :P

6. it and i did not say it affected every body the same way.... dont jump to conclusions

what does one have to do to make it clear to you that some people react differently, like drug addicts, alcoholics border line mentally ill or full blown mentally ill.. or just ignorant dumb asses like the pResident.. this is a discussion.. invalidating with a broad brush after ignoring the premise isn't discussing..\

glad to hear you 'Aren't any Nuttyer' that would be tragic.. i hope you stay in good health and avoid stress.. good luck

7. Hitler, Stalin, Mao all had full blown symptoms of syphilis.. about 80 milion dead cause of them

maybe more.. i find i curious..

the first case of Lyme disease was first diagnosed in 1974, and now it is in every state, that is interesting too.. ticks can really get around.. 1 in 40 are diagnosed.. so we dont really know what is going on.. froma a scientific standpoint.. there isnt a broad sampling of effects

this has all the earmarks of a really serious problem that isnt being dealt with cause of the lust for war and greed..
