VITAMIN D has a "therapeutic and disease-preventive potential in osteoporosis, but also in different types of cancer, in several infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, and in autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis." Excellent review. https://lnkd.in/eezfc3H View in LinkedIn

THE MICROBIOTA drives our bodies, directing our emotional development, social behavior, cognition, motor control and health. This ecosystem of bacteria, viruses, fungi and phages appear to work with swarm intelligence to do remarkable things. They could probably drive programmable material, robots and AI with equal ability, given the chance. View in LinkedIn

VITAMIN D HITS 3K GENES. "Scientists have identified nearly 3,000 genes that are influenced by vitamin D levels, and vitamin D receptors have been found throughout the human body." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

MOTHER'S MILK is 85% to provide nutrition for the baby, and a reamarkable 15% to feed the stomach bacteria dominant only in early life of the baby, called Bif. Infantus. (evolve BioSystems). Without Bif. Infantus, due to C-Section, antibiotic use, or use of formula feed, later adverse health effects occur. It illustrates an enormous co-evolution between humans and the microbiota within.

VITAMIN D IS HOT. "According to a January 17 press release by Orthomolecular Medicine, " "23,600 medical papers with vitamin D in the title or abstract were published in 2012 alone, bringing the grand total to 33,800." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

STEPHEN HAWKINS PREDICTS: "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race." His warning came in response to a question about a revamp of the technology he uses to communicate, which involves a basic form of AI." Makes me sit up and take notice. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30290540 View in LinkedIn

EX MACHINA, the film. "Nathan admits that he surreptitiously used the clout of his company (read Google) to collect audiovisual data from billions of people, accumulating their most intimate experiences, and that he loaded this information to (avanced robot) Ava's sophisticated chemical brain, which is very flexible and advances independently like humans'." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_Machina_(film) View in LinkedIn

SERIAL VIEWING. I strongly recommend viewing the following films in the following order: The Imitation Game, directed by Morton Tyldum about Alan Turing's decoding of the Nazi Enigma code. Her, directed by Spike Jonze, about a man's relationship with an Operating System. And finally, Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, about AI consciousness. Imagine a living bio-brain within a sophisticated robot. View in LinkedIn

D*ACTION PROJECT. "A robust and growing body of research clearly shows that vitamin D is absolutely critical for good health and disease prevention. This is why I am so excited about the D*Action Project by GrassrootsHealth. It requires two measurements: Vitamin D serum levels, and" "Health status." https://lnkd.in/enKX4U6 View in LinkedIn

"BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS (BV) is a highly prevalent vaginal infection that is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Vitamin D exerts an influence on the immune system and may play a role in BV. There was a dose-response association between 25(OH)D and the prevalence of BV." https://lnkd.in/eP2RwN4 View in LinkedIn
