We haven't even produced an HIV vaccine yet,and that is a much more serious disease !        Let's examine the story of the very successful polio vaccine.Is it really all that safe?The human collective does not know that oral polio vaccine can cause active polio disease in 3 per one million population of vaccinated people.         In 1960 the theRhesus monkey kidney cells used to prepare the polio virus vaccine were determined to be infected with Simian virus40.SV40 was also discovered in 1960 as a  naturally occurring virus that infects monkeys . In 1961 the SV40 was found to cause tumours in rodents,and it was also suspected to cause cancer in humans .        In 1955-1963 SV40 was foun...

Memory - how it works!

Memory is the storage of information in the nervous system. Much of the sensory inputs (sensations)which we experience are stored in the brain(cerebralcortex mostly )but also in the lower brain and spinal cord ,for future control of activities or the Thinking process. The storage of  information is called Memory.How does it function? This is a function of the nerve synapses(junctions) The sensation (for eg. Pain or touch )enters the nerve from the sensory receptors through the hairlike "branches"of the nerve and are then carried through the "stem"of the nerve(axon) to the" branches " of the next nerve, through a "junction"(synapse),and this goes on through as many as 200000 synapses(junctions )till the sensation reaches the cerebral cortex. These sensory experiences  from visual ,ear ,touch or other receptors,can either cause immediate reactions from the brain or can be stored in the brain for minutes ,weeks or years,and can determine bodil...
