As we discussed before, humans are rather unique among primates in that our brains appear to shrink as we age. When I first posted the article, Steve Parker, M.D.* noted that there was a recent article on PLOS1 about B vitamins decreasing brain shrinkage, so I thought I would investigate the matter further. Recently I've been going through this years' issues of The Carlat Report** to get...

Conventional Wisdom and the Lunatic Fringe
Posted on 15.51 by chorili
This weekend I had a terrific opportunity. Nathan Rosenberg is an exceptional fellow who is co-president of the Harvard Food Law Society and a key organizer of next year's Ancestral Health Symposium. He found me at AHS11 and asked me if I might be interested in speaking at Harvard Law School - I said sure, though I wondered what I would say, seeing as how doctors and lawyers are natural...

You Are What You Eat

Did you know that diet could affect mental health? Okay, that is, perhaps, putting it too strongly. Diet is correlated with mental health, especially in Australia. Mental health disorders tend to be pretty chronic and can be debilitating. And, unlike many chronic diseases of Western Civilization, they tend to strike young. Autism in babyhood, anxiety disorders often before...

Infections and Schizophrenia Risk

Whew. Quite a response over my disappointment in Wheat Belly. And Melissa gives us an informed and reasoned review (mine was more of a visceral reaction). It's hard for me to see the merit in a book just because the idea of wheat not being ideal for human consumption agrees with my own views. On the interesting papers front, a couple of new articles shine more light on the relationship...

Slam-dunked and Wheat Belly
Posted on 13.54 by chorili
All right. Work has been really, well, working me lately, so I've barely had time to sleep, much less to review papers, keep up with the blogosphere, and write.I do like this song, though (right click to open in new tab): Days are Forgotten (and it is getting very difficult to find songs on youtube that will play without ads upfront - sorry if there is an ad on this one!

Of Like Minds
Posted on 05.26 by chorili
As you may recall from my AHS - The People Post, one of the best experiences from my visit to Los Angeles was meeting a few other like-minded psychiatrists there. Evolutionary medicine, as sensible and evidenced-based as I try to make it, can feel very lonely and off the beaten path. So it is lovely to meet people who see the innate reason of it all. The northeastern US is both...
