Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting

esocid writes writes to tell us BBC News is reporting that scientists may have found a way to study deja vu, that uneasy feeling you have seen something before. Using hypnosis, scientists claim to be able to incorrectly trigger the portion of the brain responsible for recognition of something familiar. From the article: "Two key processes are thought to occur when someone recognizes a familiar object or scene. First, the brain searches through memory traces to see if the contents of that scene have been observed before. If they have, a separate part of the brain then identifies the scene or object as being familiar. In deja vu, this second process may occur by mistake, so that a feeling of familiarity is triggered by a novel object or scene."

    Where du you live? There is a cure for years now:
    - Stop eating chemically modifyed food (trash). Most of all don't eat white flour, sugar, that stuff you call "milk" (but is in fact something quite different), food that is processed much, conserved (like cookies) and so on...
    - Don't use products with chemical hazards, like aspartam, preservatives, (flavoring, coloring, ...) additives and the like, until you want to start a chemical attack against an enemy ;)
    - Same thing for furniture, toys, stuff: no plasticizer or similar chemicals that vaporate or solve in saliva
    - Do something against the pollution of your environment

    I will guarantee you, that if your genetic material is not already aggrieved (from your parents), your body will not become sick!

    But of course... i you yue are like joe ignorant and jane stupid and the only thing you want is something against the symtoms, or to fix everything you do wrong, so you can ignore the shit you do and continue eating trast and living inside a poison bath becaus you're so lazy...
    then i guess you just have to wait a bit longer...

    Because i certanly ain't gonna make i easyer for anyone, to "live the lazy way, the stupid way"(TM), when i can be the fittest, who survives in the end. ;)

    ALL GIRLS FOR ME! JAHAHA AHA HAHA! ;))
