Lithium

Wow, if I had to guess where lithium comes from, I would have been so wrong.

One thing leads to another (from a national uproar to ineffiecient over-use of a precious resource)...

Jim Carrey marries Jenny Mccarthy. Jenny's child was autistic, and now so was Jim's-- thru marriage. On to the CNN interview box they go. Jim Carrey is famous and I, the viewer, will watch him on tv. So what do they say to viewers - vaccines Baaaaad. I say whaaaaa? Other people say, Yeahhhhh, vaccines bad.

Now kids are getting the measels again. Bad thing 1.

Bad thing 2: USA refuses adjuvants in Swine Flu vaccine....

Okay. I drew the line between Jim Carrey and this article, and it's past my bed time. But the main thing is - It's crazy how public health concerns can be made like this. Out of fear that citizens won't comply to safety recommendations.

G'nite.

Medulla oh my g-dda!

Just learned about this area of the brain today. Amazing timing for this article to surface. I guess that happens a lot. You learn something new, and then you notice that new thing everywhere you look in your normal life. Like the time I was at the farmers market as a kid and saw those honey sticks (yummm) where you cut off the top and squeeze out the delicious honey. It was something totally new to me - I thought the amish had invented it. Then when I went back to my normal routine - there they were, everywhere - they had been all around me and I had just never noticed.

Brain ... slate....
