Schizophrenia & Escaping From Tower 1 On 911- EP692

Coffee with the Dog

Hour1: Bio: Dr. Lesk has been a practicing, board-certified psychiatrist since 1984, treating thousands of adult patients while researching, writing articles and mentoring students. He served as chairman of psychiatry at a large VA hospital in New York and assistant professor at the affiliated medical school. He is pioneering new theories in hopes of improving our understanding of the illnesses patients endure and reducing stigma while surging empathy. This book is a result of those efforts. Unlike any other work in the field, Dr. Lesk’s ‘primitive organization’ theory explains the phenomenon of schizophrenia with advanced, scientifically documented clarity and depth, opening a fresh window on mental illness while weaving together disciplines as diverse as Darwinian evolution, anthropology, physics, neurochemistry and Freudian psychology in a lucid panorama. Book: Footprints of Schizophrenia “Each new variety and ultimately each new species is produced and maintained by having some advantage over those with which it comes into competition; and the consequent extinction of the less favored forms almost inevitably follows.” —Charles Darwin Whether you believe in creationism or Darwinism, the following formula seems nearly inevitable: protoplasm + mutation x time = human. What does that mean? Living matter (protoplasm) progresses by random error or mutation. That helical molecule called DNA that regulates the construction and functioning of cells and ultimately, our bodies as phenotypes screws up with the help of what we call entropy, the tendency for disorder. Thankfully. For without those blessed mistakes, the changes that modify which proteins cells manufacture would not happen. But those mutations that impede the reproduction and function of the organism must rapidly become extinct. The central paradox of schizophrenia asks why it is not extinct. To understand this we must dig deeper and go beyond theories that rely on mere genetic explanations alone. In this book Dr. Lesk calls on such diverse fields as anthropology, language theory, neurochemistry, evolution and even the second law of thermodynamics to weave together a convincing, thorough and lucid synthesis.

If you visit www.michaelhingson.com you will learn about me including how I escaped from Tower One of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. I wrote a book about that day that became a NY Times Bestselling book, "Thunder Dog". The new book is to help people learn how to control fear rather than letting fear "blind" or overwhelm them. http://www.michaelhingson.com Sponsors: https://skylum.evyy.net/c/3290446/179...https://invideo.sjv.io/c/3290446/1543...https://tracysdog.sjv.io/c/3290446/16...https://mindbloom.sjv.io/c/3290446/15...https://www.blueprint-for-success.com...https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=195113...https://naked-wines.pxf.io/c/3290446/...https://daily-high-club-affiliate-pro...https://apply.fundwise.com/mattnappo
