Hey Rat, anything that is too good to be true, it is. Save your rib for Eve.

Best way to data harvest IMO. Never paid for this and never will.

$19.99 looks like a bargain for a liver .

Epidemiology involving mental health conditions depends on the accuracy of the original diagnoses.

Look at this diagram: https://tinyurl.com/4w5k3m7x

It represents an attempt to relate supposed psychiatric labels with supposed "genes". They add organic diseased conditions to create an appearance of veracity.

The PCDH19 looks like pure political balderdash to me. It tries to bind together Autism, Schizophrenia, OCD and epilepsy, but it only affects women. Curiously, they left out the ADHD superellipse [1] a label that used to be the province of boys, but now political correctness and egalitarian ideology want to make it a female diagnosis. Those pesky X chromosomes are so capricious!

I think they are destroying the DNA model of genetics because political and financial interest decided in the 1980s that it would be better if scientists of the future (i.e.: now) were very unlearned about logic. Generally speaking, superior education is not only a financial scam, but also an intellectual fraud.

On a second thought, the government getting its dirty hands on your genome and flagging you as a “dangerous autist” based on some gene variation is of course another risk; but most if us are probably flagged already.

Interesting. All the people with epilepsy I’ve known were the most normiest normies imaginable. But then, my sample is rather small.

There’s probably a strong correlation between the number of approved “treatments” and the number of approved “diagnoses”, however.
