ALS – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – Lou Gehrigs Research

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 20:54:08 +0000

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Lou Gehrig’s Disease

A review of the scientific literature reveals an absence of clinical trials investigating the use of cannabinoids for ALS treatment. However, recent preclinical findings indicate that cannabinoids can delay ALS progression, lending support to anecdotal reports by patients that cannabinoids may be efficacious in moderating the disease’s development and in alleviating certain ALS-related symptoms such as pain, appetite loss, depression and drooling.[1]

Writing in the March 2004 issue of the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis & Other Motor Neuron Disorders, investigators at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco reported that the administration of THC both before and after the onset of ALS symptoms staved disease progression and prolonged survival in animals compared to untreated controls.

Prohibition:

“Prohibition…goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.” — Abraham Lincoln December 1840

Stephan Schwartz, Research Associate, of Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research, is one of the world’s experts on the practical applications of remote viewing and other aspects of extraordinary human functioning. For almost twenty years he was the research director and chairman of the Mobius Society. The laboratory carried out research into remote viewing, creativity, therapeutic intent, and other areas of human performance.

Stephan is the Editor of “The Schwartz Report,” an international daily web publication. He is a former Special Assistant for Research and Analysis to the Chief of Naval Operations, Editor of Seapower Magazine, and staffer of National Geographic Society. He is a founder of the Society for Anthropology of Consciousness, the International Remote Viewing Association, and the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, and is a member of the Parapsychology Association.

Schwartz discussed his work on non-locality, consciousness and remote viewing. Evidence shows that some part of our consciousness exists outside of time/space, he said, and all consciousness is interconnected and interdependent. This connectivity allows for morphogenic fields to be created, he added.

It was Edgar Cayce’s “distant viewing” of the Dead Sea Scrolls (before their discovery) that first got Schwartz interested in remote viewing. As developed in the 1970s, remote viewing, which he described as a kind of “mental yoga,” provides information that can be independently validated. Moments of religious ecstasy, genius, and remote viewing are all similar experiences, but they are modulated by their context and intention, he explained.

http://ocw.mit.edu -of Thessaloniki, Greece A fifth-year civil engineering student at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, Maria Karamitsou spent the summer of 2005 working at an institute of seismology, studying earthquake-resistant construction techniques. Recently, however, she found herself focusing more on the behavior of water than of earth. During the spring semester, Karamitsou completed an intensive research project on different aspects of hydraulics, including water handling, the water cycle, reservoirs, filter banks, gates, and dams. As she began work on the project, Karamitsou realized that she needed outside sources to bolster her research, and recalled that she had once heard about information being available on the MIT Web site.

How do I site a quote within an article in an essay, if the quote is from another publication?

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:06:35 +0000

I am writing an essay based on a research article that I read. The article contains a quote from another book. I need to use this quote in my essay. Do I site the article I read, or the original source it came from?

I would cite both. Original article name, original source, "as quoted" in the article you read. This saves you from any problems caused by misquoting in the article you actually read, but it still shows the original source.
