Doctor Rat

Product Information

Prior to the colonial conquest, the native people had some serious problems, of course, including frequent tribal warfare, with prisoners being killed or kept as slaves. Mental illness, personal betrayals, and epidemic diseases occasionally occurred in pre-colonial tribes. Basically, native people had all the problems of their English colonizers except one. There was so little addiction that it is very difficult to prove from written and oral histories that it existed at all. This book defies easy description by the plain simple fact that it transcends itself, over and over. a b Law, Katie (July 30, 2020).

You will see at a glance that the rats in Rat Park, called the “Social Females” and “Social Males” in this graph, are consuming hardly any morphine solution, but the “Caged Females” and “Caged Males” are consuming a lot. In this experiment the females consumed more than the males, but that gender difference did not hold up in later experiments. The novel works best when exploring the viewpoints of individual animals around the world as they build toward a global gathering and when using the actions of Dr. Rat and the other animals in the laboratory as broad metaphors for revolution, communism, Nazi-style authoritarianism, brainwashing, mass communication, human slavery, scientific detachment, and warfare. Speaking of magazines, I was truly astonished to read that portions of Dr. Rat were previously published in “Redbook” magazine. It is stunning to ponder that the magazine I’ve only known for giving middle-aged women sex and makeup tips once published a gruesome discussion of animal labs and slaughterhouses, with an unabashed animal liberation viewpoint. Could you imagine such a thing happening today? This fascinated Calhoun—if the rats had everything they needed, what was keeping them from overrunning his little city, just as they had all of Baltimore?For more on the Soviet experiment consult this fascinating NPR interview with Sharon Weinberger, the author of The Imagineers of War: Untold Story of DARPA, the Pentagon Agency That Changed the World (2017).

As some reviewers have noted, there is not much that’s new, especially for an up-to-date practitioner or health consumer. I would have thought that breathing was pretty simple and well understood. Then I read this book. Now I know it's a hugely complex and wondrous process which we need to understand much better. Fascinating and provocative stuff' - Daniel M. Davis, author of The Beautiful Cure There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. In Breath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Retrieved February 15, 2021.In the early 1970s DARPA (Defense Advance Research Projects Agency) got wind of a Soviet project in parapsychological submarine communication. Gruesome details unfold: the Soviet scientists suspected there was “a psychic link between mothers [in this case rabbits] and their offspring.” If say, someone on the surface were to kill the rabbit baby then the submarine, with the mother on board, would know to surface and launch their nuclear weapons. Of course the entire idea is utter hogwash and the DARPA investigations of various parapsychological claims resulted in nothing (see note 1). Outlivea well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Best book I've read on this topic. Really changes your thinking on all sorts of health topics. I've followed Peter Attia's podcast for a while, but this is an excellent summary of all his best knowledge on health. He gave me a new goal and word - healthspan!

In cases where alcohol was available to natives, but their cultures were not destroyed, they were able to incorporate alcohol into their native traditions without too much trouble. People drank and some people got plenty drunk on some occasions, but there was no widespread alcoholism.
