I think we must be aware of the ease we could fall into the false logic by using syllogism as basis of proof.
Using Gregory Batesons 'men are grass' example.
Example of this type of connection :
1.) All men are mortal , Socrates is a man therefore Socrates is mortal. (true)
2.) Grass dies , Men die, Men are grass. (false)
In both of the above sentences the conclusions are arrived by following the same logical steps but one statement is true and the other is false, therefore the logical argument used is flawed.
So we have evidence that in many people casein causes a histamine reaction there is also evidence that daffodill pollin causes a histamine reaction in some people.
Therefore an argument linking daffodils and psychopathy could easily be made.
quoting zyla
wiki: Casein has been documented to break down to produce the peptide casomorphin, an opioid that appears to act primarily as a histamine releaser.
So milk protein releases histamine, which has been found to be elevated in psychopaths.
Quoting Wiki
Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is an allergic inflammation of the nasal airways. It occurs when an allergen such as pollen or dust is inhaled by an individual with a sensitized immune system, it triggers antibody production. These antibodies mostly bind to mast cells, which contain histamine. When the mast cells are stimulated by pollen and dust, histamine (and other chemicals) are released.
Can we create a daffodils make psychopaths argument here? :)
So I am not trying to undermine peoples research or knock their arguments
, I am just saying BE aware of how you form conclusions - check the logic is sound!
Its obvious that different foods affect different people. Maybe all foods affect people - its our source of chemical intake after all.
I went raw foody, and ate only 100% raw uncooked food for 8 months. I have never felt to good, so clear thinking, so calm and had so many positive emotions. When Winter came and the temperature was -25C and I had very poor heating in the house I made vegetable soups for heat. Boy did I suffer: I needed something hot, I made vegetable soups made my own stock so that I wasnt introducing chemicalc and after eating and my nose was running and my body reacting within and hour. I still eat about 60% raw per day and the nearer I get to 100% for any length of time, the more effect I feel when I have cooked.
WHy ?
In John Tobe's book "The Golden Treasury of Natural Health Knowledge," there is a copy of a paper by Paul Kouchakoff, M.D., for the First International Congress of Microbiology, in Paris, in 1930. Dr. Kouchakoff's discovery concerned the leukocytes, the white blood cells. Apparently it was well known that immediately after a person ate, there was a sudden increase of the white corpuscles occurred. Here are some of the key points of Dr. Kouchakoff's conclusions:
"After 300 experiments on ten individuals of different ages and sex, we have come to the following conclusions:
1. The augmentation of the number of white corpuscles and the alteration of the correlation of the percentage between them which takes place after every consumption of food, and was considered until now as a physiological phenomenon, is, in reality, a pathological one. It is called forth by the introduction into the system of foodstuffs altered by means of a high temperature and by complicated treatments of ordinary products produced by nature.
2. After the consumption of foodstuffs produced by nature but altered by means of high temperature, an augmentation of the general number of the general number of white corpuscles, as well as a change in the correlation of this percentage, takes places.
3. It has been proved possible to take, without changing the blood formula, every kind of foodstuff which is habitually eaten now, but only by following this rule, viz.-that it must be taken along with raw products, according to a definite formula. (Author's note-as I recall, this formula was that the raw foods must be eaten first and must consitute at least 50% of the total meal.)
4. Blood examination can only have significance as a diagnosis if it is made on an empty stomach."
From Ann Wigmores Be you Own Doctor:
Further on, in the same book, Dr. Wigmore reports:
"The experience of my good friend, John A. MacDonald, shows the power, the almost unbreakable strength for evil, in improper foods. Some years ago, John owned a pet shop which specialized in the raising of white mice. He sold mice by the thousands all over the world. In his enclosure for the mice, he had thousands all over the world. In his enclosure for the mice, he had placed a large bale of hay. From the dried grass, the mice built a cooperative apartment house. They cut numerous tunnels through it, built hanging gardens, cliff-dwelling pueblos and wonderful balconies on which they raised their young in harmony. It was a happy existence of peace and plenty
"John became concerned about the rising price of grain to feed the mice and was on the lookout for ways to cut costs. A neighbor who ran a rather sizeable boarding house offered to supply him daily with leftover scraps from her tables. John gladly accepted the opportunity to increase his profits. But when the leftover food was sustituted for the grain, a blight seemed to settle over the mouse community. Eating the same food that human beings ate changed the complexion of the c0-operative establisment. Quarrels broke out and battles raged through the baled-hay corridors. By the end of the week, dead mice littered the floor of the compound. Cannibalistic parents ate their young. The weaker mice were slain without provocation.
"Realizing that only disaster loomed ahead, John threw out the scraps of food and went back to grain. The result was quickly evident. No more mice were found dead of half eaten. This is not an imaginary story. It is a documented history of facts. And what the food human beings ate did to the mice, it is evidently doing today in many disastrous ways to our children and adults in many of our communities."
Dr. Wigmore continued:
"Here is another incident to demonstrate the havoc of unsuitable food. It is the saga of two sister white cats having litters of kittens in the same bureau drawer one early May. They were both fed a mild, dry cat food mixed with freshly cut wheatgrass. Harmony reigned in that drawer as the eight kittens used any convenient spout that was available for the precious milk. The kittens did not know which of the cats was their mother.
Then on May 25, responding to an advertisement on television, the mother cats were switched from their accustomed food to canned meat with no wheatgrass. The harmonious situation began to disrupt almost immediately. On May 31 the two mother cats were rolling on the floor clawing each other, bringing blood to their white fur. The canned meat was not served that evening, and in its place was the mild cat food with the wheatgrass. This feeding was continued and within a week the two mother cats once again sprawled out peacefully to co-operatively feed the youngsters. The experiment was repeated again to make sure this was the reason for the change in disposition of the mother cats. The results were the same."
R.B. Pearson from 'Pasteur Plagiarist Imposter!'
Experiments done with cats by Dr. F.M. Pottenger and D.G. Simonsen. Pearson writes:
"They put two groups of cats on diets of meat and vegetables, identical in value, except that in one group the meat was given raw, and this group seemed to maintain normal good health throughout the experiments. In the other group the meat was all cooked, and this group showed an astonishing breakdown of health in ALL of the animals.
"They found every sign of lack of minerals, such as incomplete development of the skull or other bones, bowed legs, rickets, curvature of the spine, paralysis of the legs, convulsive seizure, thyroid abscesses, cyanosis of liver and kidneys, enlarged colon, and degeneration of the motor nerve ganglion cells throughout the spinal cord and brain stem, with some cells affected in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex."
Strange to say none of the cats on raw meat had any of these troubles at all, yet millions of humans are afflicted with one or more of them, and have no conception of the cause, and neither have their doctors in most of the cases. They add, of these cats: "The deficiency renders the experimental animals so deplete in important vitalizing factors that the third generation is unable to live beyond the period corresponding to childhood in the human being."
So there you have , Wheat, Milk and cooked food all contribute to psychic/emotional and physical pathology.
And dont forget those daffodils ;)
I see your point on those daffodils! Thanks for pointing out that bad logic; if I were a Ph.D., my career would be over by now. I didn’t mean to make any definite conclusion on histamine and psychopathy, though; I just meant to point out an observation. However, since histamine is involved in inflammation, there must be something causing its elevation in the blood, and I don’t think those levels can all be due to pollen allergies. Perhaps it’s the lead? The article did say that psychopaths had elevated lead levels. Perhaps the casein binds to the lead, and (with leaky gut) can pass through the BBB?
