Darcia Narvaez and Mary Tarsha discuss their studies recent findings in this podcast. “This is a game changer. It points to the fact that it is not enough to be trauma-informed. We must also provide for children's basic needs, which our evolved nest does by its very nature. Cultures that are not attending to wellness-informed practices are not optimizing human potential, something sorely needed as we face numerous culture-caused crises.” – Darcia Narvaez, PhD KEY POINTS - Adversity in childhood is associated with poor physiologic regulation, seen in measures of vagal tone. - A system of socially supportive childraising known as the evolved nest is associated with healthy vagal tone.

A new study out of York University in Toronto, Canada finds that the US military plays a large role in the spread of diseases globally, including past and present pandemics. Clearing the FOG speaks with one of the lead authors, K J Noh, an expert analyst on the geopolitics of the Asian-Pacific region and health, about the study. Important factors in the spread of disease are Status Agreements that the US military makes with local and national governments that exempt members of the military from being required to follow public health measures and a culture of impunity within the military that leads to members defying all public health restrictions, even those measures imposed by the military. Noh also explains how the weaponization of disease is causing harm to everyone and why the US establishment doesn't want the public to know there are governments designed to serve their populations.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Researchers have observed elevated levels of the macrophage inflammatory protein CCL20 in colorectal cancer. Interactions between CCL20 and its receptor, CCR6, promote colorectal cancer through effects on neoplastic epithelial cells and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. However, the mechanism of these effects are not yet fully understood. “In particular, CCL20 acting on CCR6 expressed by colorectal cancer neoplastic epithelial cells induces proliferation, migration, and initiates an auto-feedback loop by inducing further secretion of CCL20. The mechanisms through which CCL20-CCR6 interactions elicit these effects is poorly understood.” Researchers—from the VA Boston Healthcare System, Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women's Hospital—conducted a study investigating the signaling pathways and mechanisms that underlie this colorectal cancer-promoting molecule. In 2021, the team authored a research paper, which was chosen as the cover paper of Oncotarget's Volume 12, Issue 24, and entitled, “CCL20 induces colorectal cancer neoplastic epithelial cell proliferation, migration, and further CCL20 production through autocrine HGF-c-Met and MSP-MSPR signaling pathways."

Economics is a social science. It involves theories and models and lots of math. So why is it so hard for economists to agree? And why is there often a disconnect between what economists say will happen and what actually happens in the real economy? That's something Molly has been wondering about. So we turned it into a show and called in some help. Colin Camerer, the Robert Kirby professor of behavioral economics at the California Institute of Technology, says there’s a big divide between microeconomics and macroeconomics. “It’s a little bit like geology, where we understand a lot about about rocks and mountains and how old they are, that’s micro, and earthquake forecasting, in which we know that there will be a big quake … but we don’t know if it’s gonna be next year, five years, 10 years … that’s kind of like macro.” On the show today, Camerer explains the role economists play in society and how we should be thinking about what they tell us, especially since their findings sometimes drive public policy debates. In the news fix, America is in a AI battle with China, and it’s not looking great for team USA. Plus, who is really benefiting from Zillow’s failed plan to flip thousands of homes? We’ll also hear from listeners who have mixed feelings about the outcome of the COP26 climate summit and an answer to the Make Me Smart question that has us wondering whether anything we know is true anymore. Here’s everything we talked about today:  “A New Study of Economics as a Science Says It’s Still Dismal” from Wired “What economists have gotten wrong for decades” from Vox “US has already lost AI fight to China, says ex-Pentagon software chief” from the Financial Times “Zillow Seeks to Sell 7,000 Homes for $2.8 Billion After Flipping Halt” from Bloomberg “COP26: 7 climate takeaways from Day 1 of the Glasgow talks” from CNN

SHR # 2783:: New Study: Novel Light Therapy Helps People With Alzheimer's - Dr. Mariana Figueiro, PhD - Alzheimer's disease is a mind-robbing brain disorder that affects nearly 6.2 million older Americans. Despite decades of research on high-tech drugs, diets, and crossword puzzles, scientists have yet to discover a highly effective treatment for patients. Recently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai a five-year grant to try something new: light. With this award, the researchers will test out whether exposing patients to a combination of light therapies will slow Alzheimer's debilitating effects. One therapy will use pulses of light designed to enhance cognition-boosting electrical brain waves, while the other one aims to help patients sleep better.

SHR # 2782:: New Study: Further Evidence Vitamin D3 Protects Against COVID-19 and Death - Prof. Lina Zgaga, Ph.D. FTCD - New research from Trinity College Dublin and University of Edinburgh has examined the association between vitamin D and COVID-19, and found that ambient ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation (which is key for vitamin D production in the skin) at an individual's place of residence in the weeks before COVID-19 infection, was strongly protective against severe disease and death. The paper has been published in the journal Scientific Reports today (Wednesday, 15th September 2021). Previous studies have linked vitamin D deficiency with an increased susceptibility to viral and bacterial respiratory infections. Similarly, several observational studies found a strong correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19, but it could be that these effects are confounded and in fact a result of other factors, such as obesity, older age or chronic illness which are also linked with low vitamin D.
