All of us that’s every one of us is susceptible to attack by the gliadin protein in wheat germ. It is natures evolved and crafted weapon to attack the brains of its predators. As long as we keep out guts mucosal protective wall healthy this is not a problem. But so many people in fact most people in their lives will suffer from what is termed leaky gut a few times in their lives. The stomach-blood-barrier (our intestinal epithelium) is a very complex thing but it is stuck behinds wheat’s clever evolution.
The American leaky gut theory suggests that breakdown of the gut-blood-barrier due to the gliadin gluten from wheat grains results in production of antibodies to gluten or other foodstuffs in the blood steam.
Wheat is over breed, excuse the pun, it has more gene that the human genome. This was done by early agricultural development when we took grasses and their grains and cross breed them to produce better grains, for better flours, for better breads.
Looking after the guts flora through proper diet and the use of probiotic and good prebiotic food stuffs when needed is essential to keeping a healthy gut and maintaining that health.
The cascade of repercussions from a breached gut range across a whole spectrum of diseases caused by temporary or sustained autoimmunity. From multiple sclerosis where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of the nervous system to all forms arthritis where tissues, cartilage, and what is called the extracellular matrix of the bone are attacked and broken down over time.
All these conditions are thought to be reversible with what is called functional medicine a new form of allopathic medicine which has revolved from America after being suppressed for years by big pharma and conventional medicinal practice which has treated the resulting damage from diseases not the root causes of conditions.
The homeostatic systems of the body can be restored to normal, by pre-emptive medicine by good diet and exercise, by catching conditions early through proper diagnostics based on proper instrumentation, by quick diagnosis and remedial dietary changes often involving excluding and including better food stuffs.
Healing the whole process and reducing the antibody levels in the blood starts with healing the gut. First stop all grains including rice, other than grains like buckwheat and oats. Move to a plant based diet with no meat (as this will contain animal proteins like myloin) or dairy (which contains caseins). Replenish the gut flora with good bacteria like sauerkraut (ideally organic non pasteurized sauerkraut), tempeh, and capsule form probiotics, and prebiotics like genmai miso.
Regarding multiple sclerosis Dr Terry Wahl cured herself from this supposedly terminal disease through a combination of diet and electrotherapy to stimulate and establish proper nervous function. This has been followed up and is been used as a protocol to help other patients with this condition.
Further more complex immune system therapies are available from specialized clinics but I really suggest that the gut-blood-barrier and gut health are the key to stopping the root causal mechanism.
This has got to start with our food sources we need more types of flour produced and more types of bread in our diet to reduce the gliadin burden. Gluten is also glutenous and that’s another story. Most people eat loaves of bread that can be squashed down to near an inch cubed of dough.
White sugar or white death as I have called it for years is responsible for something called glycation where proteins are bound with sugars on the surfaces of cells which is co-complex with diabetes causing yet another vector of autoimmune disease.

The end of money as we know it ?
One of my predictions was that one day money would be illegal. Given quantum computing and the fact that it will not be deployable to end points before it is used in backrooms. This means that the current financial systems will be rendered insecure and invalid.
The only way out of this situation I can see is where we are going to have to provide a closed loop form of digital money where everything is encoded and decode in the backroom.
I still advocate a return to the gift economy and to social contracts that have stronger social and ecological ties back to reality. We need to look after our farmers we need to put the supermarkets and corporations in a position where they are serving the greater good rather than profits for share holders.

Open letter to the BBC
Dear BBC,
I am really thinking that a differentiation needs to be made in types of programme content and destination or target audiences. The BBC is and always was for the British public and their information and education. Walled pay gardens have been being used as a means of cutting up the internet into commercially exploitable properties in order to feed capitalism. In order for the BBC to go forward as public service broadcaster I think the following differentiations need to be made.
All news programmes, science programmes, and educational programmes should be made free to UK residence an accessible to UK ISP clients. These should be published as MP4 using HTML <video> tag elements. By doing traceroutes to find pulling IP sources it can be established that the source is not VPN gaining access from abroad. Access to this programming should be made available to world wide users by a paywall with payment via VISA, PayPal, or other forms of payment.
Programmes such as dramas and other content again can be ascertained to as to the source requesters location via internet ICMP protocol (as used by traceroute tool technology) and paywalls can be established for this content, avoiding the exploitation via VPN access.
Programmes can still be published using DRM but even this is defeated by simple freeware available on the internet for no charge.
And BBC World Service can continue and be expanded publicising and advertising the good science programmes, educational programmes and dramas as part of their content. Free programmes with good exemplary content should also be provided as tasters to attract a good audience and add to their edification.
Kind regards,

The Gut-Blood-Barrier and the Blood-Brain-Barrier and Psychosis
There are two ‘new’ theories that I think are conjoined. The first which has came from America and is being championed by good Allopathic American MD’s which is the idea commonly called leaky gut which may be responsible for many auto immune diseases. And in conjunction to resulting breakdown of the brain blood barrier may well be the cause of many of todays common diseases from Alzheimer’s to psychosis and schizophrenia. Given that 35% of the population do not have the main polymorphic variant of the HLA-DQ gene and protein and high instances of poor diet in populations it is very likely that there are many cases of undetected leaky gut. The second theory which is more proven and has actually been around since about 2003 is that of encephalitis psychosis which is where sites on the brains neurons are attacked by the immune system.
The American leaky gut theory suggests that breakdown of the gut-blood-barrier due to the gliadin gluten from wheat grains results in production of antibodies to gluten in the blood steam. These gluten antibodies in turn attack the blood-brain-barrier which is made of transglutimase 2. Then which in turn breaks down and is released into the blood steam and the body then produces antibodies to the transglutimase which then further breaks down the blood-brain-barrier.
My two resulting theories are that the first causes the second. Once the blood-brain-barrier is broken antibodies then attack glutamates in the brain and can also cause further damage leading to degenerative brain diseases.
Healing the whole process and reducing the antibody levels in the blood starts with healing the gut. First stop all grains other than grains like buckwheat and oats. Regenerate the gut flora with good bacteria like sauerkraut (ideally organic non pasteurized sauerkraut), tempeh, and capsule form probiotics.
Further more complex immune system therapies are available from specialized clinics but I really suggest that the gut-blood-barrier and gut health are the key to stopping the root causal mechanism.
This is only a summary. I will further expand this and add references later.

Passwords you cannot optionally see or get back
If you are dyslexic passwords are a nightmare, typing in the correct sequence of characters without being able to see them is an absolute irritating and time consuming nightmare.
If you forget your password can you get it back, no you are given a chance to reenter a new password, but this means you have to think of yet another password and that confounds the issue over time and means you are even less likely to remember your password. Even if you remember it again when the password reset screen comes up some systems do not allow you to use old passwords again.
I remember something like fifty passwords but still have problems with some, and thinking of new ones that are hardened enough not to be cracked and remembering them is a nightmare, a nightmare, I tell you, well you probably already know.
Out of touch CEO’s
You have probably seen this one before but just for fun I am going to let Steve Ballmer demonstrate this one all for himself.
Lack of any connection with a product and its real usability, bugs, vulnerabilities, and problems that are just swept under the carpet. The so called “Metro” interface which has now been renamed to goodness knows what, and the lack of the start button is okay for the occasional user or for use on a touch screen machine but for most users machines and for Windows Server in particular it is totally out of touch, it should be an option.
URL space polution or “shall we buy up these domain names to see if we can make a few thousand bucks”
Basically domain name pollution or domain sitting as its also called stop legitimate use of domain names for good purposes. It should be outlawed and made illegal to hold on to a domain name for purposes of making money from it more than two years without using it. It just plain random capitalism and a misuse of the web. ICANN should be ashamed of them selves this is probably not what Tim Berners Lee intended should happen to his system.
Where is our IPv6 ?
Internet Protocol Version 6 was promised to be rolled out in the year 2012. It would have given us more IP addresses than we will ever need and much better IP facilities such as Mobile IP.
IP addresses are now like gold dust, Microsoft have reportedly bought up all the remaining ones that they can. There are a maximum of 2^32 IP addresses with our current IPv4 system as they are 32 bit or 4,294,967,296 of them. IPv6 on the other hand would give up 2^128 or 3.4 x 10^38, a very very big number.
Every person and every device could have its own IP address. Part of the reasoning in not introducing IPv6 is the overheads, see my post on MTU’s or Maximum Transmission Unit size.
