How to Increase the Brain Power and Health of a Nation
Abundant evidence points to the enormous potential for improving intellectual abilities (and health) through simple environmental and social interventions
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 1st February 2012

No Genes for Intelligence
Extensive genome-wide scans have failed to find a single gene for intelligence; instead, environment and maternal effects may account for most, if not all correlation among relatives, while identical twins diverge genetically and epigenetically throughout life
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, 30th January 2012

Mystery of Missing Heritability Solved?
Genome-wide scans for genes that determine susceptibility to common diseases have yielded little because most of those genes do not exist; disease genomics is a science fantasy that wastes time and money while the health of the nation deteriorates

Quantum Jazz Naples - Liquid Crystalline Water Music of the Organism
Quantum jazz is my metaphor for the quantum coherence of organisms in which every single molecular player is spontaneous and free yet perfectly in step and in tune with the whole. This remarkable state of being depends on the liquid crystalline water matrix that enables each molecule to intercommunicate with every other, creating the most exquisite light and sound displays that span 70 octaves in all the colours of the rainbow
