The Trip: Journey To The Center Of Terence McKenna's Inner Self.
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 340.... his fateful encounter with the self-transforming machine
elves of hyperspace, McKenna has fashioned his mental Merzbau on the New Age
lecture circuit, where he has earned the benediction of the psychedelic High
Priest himself, who dubbed him “the Timothy Leary of the 90's”.
McKenna has written several books as well as having rave bands set his
ruminations to billowing techno-trance music.
The main focus of this article is on McKenna's theory, which is concocted from
psychedelic Darwinism, fringe linguistics, and New Age eschatology. This theory
is based on the notion that “ .....

The Molecular Biology Of Cystic Fibrosis
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1515.... of such symptoms as chronic obstructive airways disease, pancreatic insufficiency and malabsorption, high electrolyte concentrations in sweat, sterility due to vas deferens obliteration, and subclinical cirrhosis of the liver . However, as the severity of these symptoms varies in different patients, and because of the presence of normal lungs after birth, it is difficult to make an early accurate prognosis (Bunch 95). The presence of mucus in the lungs provides a site where bacteria or viruses are easily caught, but which are not removed from the lung by the action of the br .....

Hemispheres Of The Brain
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1736.... by noticing brain damage to a particular area
of the brain that was damaged. Such observations were first recorded some 5,000
years ago (Myers,1995). The most popular case is that of Phineas Gage a
railroad worker that had severe frontal lobe damage. This happened when a rail
road spike was shot through his head by a piece of dynamite. Miraculously he
lived through the experience, but with a severe change in his personality. From
this physiologists learned that personality was largely controlled from this
point namely by removing a persons inhibitions.
For the most .....

Is More Than One Cause Of AIDS Possible?
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1997.... out there somewhere, but the scientific
community continues to ignore the possibility (Thomas-1995). It has been
proven that HIV does have something to do with causing AIDS. The majority
of AIDS patients that also have HIV cannot be ignored. HIV is however not
the only cause of AIDS. This is proven by the thousands of AIDS victims
that do not have HIV. It is widely assumed by nearly everyone in the world
that HIV is the only cause of AIDS. It is puzzling, however, that this is
believed, because there has never been any solid evidence to say that this
is true and there has no .....

The Search For Inner Peace
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 975.... She even goes to say that she hadn’t planned to stay once she arrived, “I came here four years ago. I had not planned to stay, but I couldn’t make myself leave.” (Ehrlich 156). Ehrlich was drawn to the vastness of nothing. Later in the essay she says, “Its absolute indifference steadied me.” (Ehrlich 157)
Without the presence of fellow people, one must look into oneself for company. It is here when one is able to look into oneself and find harmony in one’s life. As a resident of Wyoming, Ehrlich is able to almost meditate much like monks and Buddhists. From personal ex .....

Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1426.... of means by which the elderly may give way to in order not to become overwhelmed with the changes.
. In many cases, however, it may be possible to anticipate crises and prepare for them. It may also be useful to recognize the impact of crises that have occurred so that one can take account of them appropriately. Holmes and Rahe with the Social Readjustment Scale have done some very interesting work in this area. This allocates a number of “Life Crisis Units” to different events, so that one can evaluate them and take action accordingly (Niven 99). While this approach is obv .....

for the treatment and care. This could be replaced in incurable or agonizing
pain situations with the better and cheaper treatment of death.
Next, not all family life is harmonious, and underlying
pathology can often be exacerbated by the stresses of a family member's terminal
illness bring says an article in Law Medicine & Health Care of 1992. If
euthanasia is legalized the family members of a patient could sleep peacefully
knowing that they have been "mercied" and died easily and with little pain
instead of being kept alive by a machin .....

Prozac: Harmful Or Helpful?
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1762.... prescribe Prozac before exploring the other treatment options. However, Prozac “was associated with more hospitalizations, deaths, or other serious adverse reactions reported to the FDA than any other drug in America” (qtd. in Freundlich 2).
Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company created Prozac in 1974, but it wasn’t approved by the FDA until 1987. The first of the SSRIs, Prozac inhibits or blocks the recapture of the neurotransmitter serotonin by nerve cells (“Prozac” 2). This allows the serotonin to remain in the brain for a longer period of time creating a lasting eu .....
