Animals Can Now Warn Us of an Impending Disaster, Such as an Earthquake or Tsunami

Animals Can Now Warn Us of an Impending Disaster, Such as an Earthquake or Tsunami - This Life Saving Device Might Be Tested at Zoological Parks Soon

The article "Sheep Collar Texts Shepherds When Wolves Attack" was published recently. Could animals warn us of impending natural disasters too, using this concept?



Swiss biologists recently devised a sheep collar to alert shepherds of wolves, and other dangers to their sheep. This collar monitors heart rate changes in the sheep and sends a text message when the sheep are frightened, such as when a wolf is near.

It seems to me that animals could also "text" if a natural disaster was imminent, such as an earthquake, tsunami, and/or tornado.....http://voices.yahoo.com/animals-now-warn-us-impending-disaster-such-11879369.html?cat=15

"What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing"

"Book Review: Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing by Horowitz and Bowers" - http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-zoobiquity-what-animals-can/

"Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing by cardiologist Natterson Horowitz and journalist Kathryn Bowers is about the commonality of disease processes in humans and the animal kingdom.

The authors discuss such things as how the dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer and gorillas experience depression. They note that the heart rate of white-tailed deer slows down in response to the presence of danger;such as wolves.

The authors document that smoke, alcohol, excess sunlight and obesity alter the DNA sequences to yield various types of cancer. Large species like blue whales have a lower incidence of cancer due to Peto's Paradox. The DNA replication in large animals protects them from cancer according to this principle.

Animals like wolves have an inherent instinct for self preservation even if intolerable pain is one of the choices. For instance, a wolf will gnaw off a paw to be freed from a hunter's snare.

The authors show how severe stress is known to alter the heart chemistry through a process called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Examples are neurogenic myocardial stunning, stress-induced cardiomyopathy and transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Physicians understand takotsubo because the heart communicates with the brain, starting from the womb.

Obese humans have greater numbers of firmicutes in the intestine;whereas thin people have greater bacteroidetes there. The firmicutes are all gram-positive bacteria;whereas proteobacteria which are gram-negative. Mice experience a similar phenomena as obese humans. Therefore, diet and exercise are not the only factors influencing weight gain or loss.

Koalas get diseases also found in humans such as chlamydia. Animals also commit suicide; such as those with terminal parasitic infections.

Zoobiquity is an excellent book which explains the commonality between human and animal disease processes. The book is well researched. Samples of research citations are the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, the Spanish Journal of Psychology and theInternational Journal of Eating Disorders.

The authors believe that understanding disease processes in animals will benefit humans, as well as animals." - http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-zoobiquity-what-animals-can/

Earthquake Prediction Using Nature's Signals - Mother Nature Called and Said to Watch for Earthquakes

"Recently, we had a minor earthquake in our area. I was intrigued enough to study this subject. What I found was amazing.

Amazing, in that, there are many precursors to an earthquake, mostly from the natural world. Typically, animals, including some people, behave strangely. Water levels change and wells become murky. There are ground noises. The sky looks different. The list goes on but it is evident that nature gives us an early warning if we just look and listen for it......" - http://voices.yahoo.com/earthquake-prediction-using-natures-signals-11403938.html?cat=58

Remote Viewing....Let Your Mind Do the Walking...

Found this site, thought you all might be interested....http://www.irva.org/index.html

"IRVA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the responsible use and development of remote viewing. We are an independently formed member organization of scientists, remote viewing professionals, students, and other interested persons. For more information, read the Letter of Invitation from Russell Targ, President Emeritus of IRVA.

Remote viewing is a novel perceptual discipline for gaining information not available to the ordinary physical senses. Used extensively by so-called "psychic spies" during the Cold War for classified military projects, it has a long history both as an intelligence gathering tool and as the subject of research and applications in the civilian world. Remote viewing has now taken a long step into the public domain with the formation of a professional association to educate, research, propose standards, test performance, and promote public awareness of this unique human mental capacity."

*****************

Tom Sez - I'm particularly interested in how hypnosis might enhance remote viewing....hmmmm?

"BRAIN SCANS REVEAL WHAT DOGS ARE THINKING" - Inter-species Communication

"BRAIN SCANS REVEAL WHAT DOGS ARE THINKING"..."Emory University’s Center for Neuropolicy in Atlanta has developed a new way of scanning the brains of alert dogs with the aim of getting a more accurate understanding of how they think. According to the center’s director and lead researcher Gregory Berns:

As far as we know, no one has been able to do this previously. We hope this opens up a whole new door for understanding canine cognition and inter-species communication. We want to understand the dog-human relationship, from the dog’s perspective.

The dog involved in the experiment was trained to walk up to the MRI machine and hold his head still while her brain was scanned. The research is further deepened by analyzing how the dog’s brain patterns change in response to hand signals and vocal cues. This will flesh out insights into canine cognition, social cognition of other species, interspecies communication, and provide a deeper understanding of the human-canine relationship.

Watch the video below for more detail on this experiment...." - http://www.psfk.com/2012/05/brain-scan-dogs.html

Tom sez - Could this technology be used to find out how dogs can sense someone's sickness?  Dogs can smell cancer before doctors can detect it.  Why can't we figure this out?  Maybe this new tool will help.

"Animals' Sixth Sense Saves Lives"....Future Medical Diagnostic Tool?

"Canada's Heroic Pets Honoured: Animals' Sixth Sense Saves Lives"...." Animals are gifted with an extraordinary sense of sight, smell, sound and touch. They also seem to have a sixth sense, or intuition, that allows them to pick up on illness and medical emergencies earlier than humans are capable of detecting. While researchers are at odds about this sixth sense, many argue that the stronger the bond between pet and owner, the more apt they are to notice changes in their smell, mannerisms and appearance".... http://www.sacbee.com/2012/05/07/4471853/canadas-heroic-pets-honoured-animals.html

**********

Tom Sez - Animals can sense, maybe we can too, but we've lost the ability or suppress it.  

Maybe good research project for university?....glean the science out of this?....equip dogs/pets with sensors to map out the responses when they "intuitively" know a person is sick?  Galvanic Skin Response Sensors?  Eye movement?  Sniff sensors?   etc.....

Wanted - Dream Telepathy Device

Recently found this article...."Stanely Krippner, parapsychologist even James Randi likes" - http://boingboing.net/2012/05/01/stanely-krippner-a-parapsycho.html...it involves "dream telepathy".

Here's a few other links....

Here's the search string I used....dream-(telepathy OR esp OR extra-sensory-perception)

What do you think? Any experience with this?  Got any circuits, schematics, software programs for this?

Thanks
