Despite good intentions, American federal government polices often fail. Why are Americans, who are richer than ever, so dissatisfied?One major reason is that federal government policies are often predicated on the idea that the (only) way to change peoples' behavior is to change their economic circumstances. This kind of economic determinism was originally the product of Marxist thought. Practicing Marxists like Lenn and Mao, however, did not accept this view in practice. They employed ideas, education and propaganda to achieve their goals. They were not in this way very good Marxists. But this was not the end of the notion of economic determinism. It has found a home in commercial republics like America, especially under the influence of progressivism. This book explains the ways in which domestic and foreign policies, as well as intelligence assessments, are shaped by economic determinism. As such, their too-narrow view of the springs of human action often lead to policy failures. Too much is promised and too little is delivered.

From the author of the BEST SELLING BOOK "The Miraculous Results of Extremely High Doses of the Sunshine Hormone-Vitamin D3-My One Year Experiment......." This IS the better mousetrap Most MD's get just a basic 4 years in Med School, then work to earn not learn. I've researched diseases and aging for 20+ years, with a 10 year stint where I spent 12 hrs/day everyday in the Northwestern Med School's library just reviewing clinical and scientific studies .I've had 3 major papers published; the publishing journal has 5 Nobel Prizes between the editors. And described my papers as extremely exciting and of major importance It's time to take control of your Alzheimer's treatment and try protocols that have actually worked and are based on the newest, latest, cutting-edge, and CORRECT theory. Why is it that Big Pharma still pushes Alzheimer's treatments like aricept, namenda, razadyne, exelon, cognex that are expensive, have side effects, and are basically do nothing? Because it's the only way they can make money on Alzheimer's The treatments that work-are unpatentable/ unprofitable The latest theory (which is PROVING correct) is that Alzheimer's, like other diseases of aging, is actually caused by the huge increase in the reproduction-related hormone -Luteinizing Hormone (LH)- that occurs in both men and women after age 50 (up to 1,000's of % ). Just like annual plants, and Pacific Salmon that are killed after a burst of reproduction by their reproductive hormones- humans undergo the same process except in slow motion LH is literally eating away at our brains and bodies The evidence that the"LH causes AD" theory is true is becoming larger and even attracting scientists from the ultra-conservative NIH (National Institute of Health), it is all detailed here in this book. When the hormone LH rises too much in young children it causes precocious puberty (reaching sexual maturity as young as 5 years old ). To stop precocious puberty, doctors have been using Lupron injections for years which stops the rise in LH. Lupron injections have also been used successfully to STOP the progression of Alzheimer's in a small pilot study which is described in detail in this book. Melatonin, which also suppresses LH has also been shown to STOP the progression of AD The melatonin study is also described in detail in this book. Newsflash - The results of an additional new study showed that melatonin plus daily exercise completely halted Alzheimer's disease in a mouse model of AD where the mice had not one but three different AD causing mutations. The study is described in this new edition.Also I just took 300mg for 2 months & tested my LH levels which dropped 30%-it works Why doesn't Big Pharma promote new treatments based on this cutting edge new theory-BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE ANY MONEY ON IT They would rather keep selling you Aricept and pretending they don't accept the new evidence Heck -they probably think you are eventually going to die anyway so what's the big deal? Anyone can just go buy melatonin over the counter, and any doctor can write a prescription for Lupron which is about to go off patent in 2015 Read this book and follow its protocols to stop Alzheimer's in its tracks Also learn about the fantastic promise of high dose melatonin as a treatment for AD and possible side effects to look out for based on my year-long experiment and the experience of my friends taking huge doses of melatonin. This is by far your best chance at stopping Alzheimer's

Fun To Read - Written in an easy to understand and at times humorous style for normal readers and scientists alike. MANY Shocking Conclusions about the Freak Show of Evolution's Unexplained Oddities One chapter includes a detailed examiniation of how various human hormones change with aging, and how the "good" hormones decline with age, and how the "bad" hormones intentionally designed by evoluton to kill you, skyrocket after age 50. (also included are ways to reverse this process). This book has it ALL Chock Full of Jaw-Dropping and Thought-Provoking Photos, this is a groundbreaking new look at and explanation of the mysteries of evolution that have been plauging mainstream science since the first publication of Darwin's theory of evolution. Sex and aging have never had any satisfactory explanation within the Selfish Gene paradigm begun by Darwin and his disciples, and popularized by Dawkins in his famous book-"The Selfish Gene". Aging and Sex are conclusively shown to be evolution's evolved defenses to evolving predation, and in the absence of predation, they will eventually become undone-leading to a strange and bizarre world where humans eventually will evolve immortal lifepsans, and become 100% female who reproduce solely through parthenogenesis (female self-cloning) As bizarre as it sounds, examples of many types of animals where asexual reproduction already occurs are provided. Including animals as complicated as turkeys, sharks, and lizards Homosexuality, usally ignored by evolutionary biologists, is examined and shown to also be a defense agasint evolving predation that acts as birth control for what evolution perceives as less fit (predator-stressed) mothers. Even human religion as an evolved defense to famine and drought is explored and explained with a special emphasis on the high rate of religious suicide associated with various religions and cults. Sex and Aging are examined and shown to be a species-selected defense to evolving predation that is being selected for at the local ecosystem level virtually everywhere and all the time.

"Best book on evolution yet written This is from a guy(me) who has literally read hundreds of book's on evolution.I highly recommend this book to you, if you are the slightest bit curious about evolution, health, or just the future of longevity.. I like this book so much I am buying and pushing this book on all my friends and family who have even a few neurons of interest in evolution or health." A.C. "An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. " "Science advances one funeral at a time." MP "New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment." ----Max Planck The evidence has been mounting for years, and has been ignored by years, by mainstream scientists, that the "selfish gene" paradigm is woefully inadequate to explain much of what is observed in the world around us. This book completes the theory of evolution to conclusively and simultaneously solve all the remaining conundrums and paradoxes that have been plaguing evolutionary theorists for decades such as the existence and purpose of of sex and aging, male and female sex types, and even homosexuality. It is quite likely this will be the textbook for Evolution 101 in the year 2034. If this particular book is not used, the ideas contained herein certainly will be.

While Charles Darwin was and will always remain the giant intellect who invented the field of evolutionary biology, while he was conducting research to develop his theory, he had very few facts to work with. So his accomplishment was especially incredible considering the little data he had at hand. Many decades after his death, finally enough facts about biology and evolution have trickled out with which one can complete the second and missing half of the theory of evolution that Darwin could not possibly have seen in his time. The evidence has been mounting for years, and has been ignored by years, by mainstream scientists, that the "selfish gene" paradigm is woefully inadequate to explain much of what is observed in the world around us.
