In Defense Of ADHD & Consciousness
Intelligence and consciousness are based on divergent electrical phenomena (according to Karl Pribram, not to mention Swami Nitty-Gritty).
Consciousness is not based on individual nerve impulses (voltage spikes), but on slower electrical field voltage shifts within the cellular mechanism.
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) identified concentration as “distress of the brain,” and he affirmed …
“The ability to relax the brain must be developed.”
He was aware of the pneumatic basis of both consciousness and intelligence …
“When inhalation meets exhalation, brain power increases. Yogis call it samadhi. The greater the lung power, the greater the brain power. Brain power is increased when breath enters this particular state of neutrality known as samadhi, the breathless state, hibernation, or suspended animation.”
Standard IQ tests — the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American College Test (ACT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and an ad nauseum “alphabet soup” of other IQ tests — are extremely limited in their approach to intelligence measurement.
John Taylor Gatto wrote …
“That’s the secret behind short-answer tests, bells, uniform time blocks, age grading, standardization, and all the rest of the school religion punishing our nation. There isn’t a right way to become educated; there are as many ways as fingerprints. We don’t need state-certified teachers to make education happen — that probably guarantees it won’t.”
Cross-cultural intelligence is unfairly portrayed in such standard IQ tests, and high IQ has been correlated with maladaptive behavior, notably social ineptitude and impaired survival adaptions.
Consider that dumb-ass nerd, Archimedes, who was so engrossed in delineating his latest invention in the sand that he refused to acknowledge the enemy soldier who promptly beheaded him.

“Time to take our schools back. If they mean to have a war, let it begin now.”— John Taylor Gatto

What’s the most common medical procedure in hospitals?
A billfold biopsy. :(

Sweet potatoes are goitrogenic.
Dextrinizing them and adding beets to the mix mitigates the inflammatory response.

“Death is life. If your cells don’t die, you’ll die. The catabolic produces anabolic to regulate catabolic to become metabolic.” — Swami Nitty-Gritty

“It was not long before I discovered the contagion of a yawn, and by diligent practice I finally learned how to initiate voluntarily a certain sensory process in my ear, which I still cannot identify and which is always succeeded by a long involuntary series of yawns.” — Milton H. Erickson

“While medicine is wrestling with the question to use or not use antibiotics (same for animal medicine), sewer plants across this nation are not only pumping out vast volumes of antibiotic resistant bacteria into the very water we use for drinking, but sewer plants supercharge the superbugs. This is all well documented in peer reviewed studies, including studies by the US/EPA. Then we have antibiotic resistant genes to consider, so small that they pass through many filters used in drinking water treatment, are not affected by chlorine at levels used by industry, and are found in drinking water. These and their parent pathogens then charge the gut bacteria so that more advance antibiotics must be given, usually after the first course fails. antibiotics. This is merely adding to the problem, a problem completely eschewed by US/EPA and most state regulators who are working with antiquated standards and tests that see none of this.” — Dr Edo McGowan (Medical Geo-Hydrologist)
