lysine deficiency

I say this again and again: it could be my motto! The phrase comes from a moment in the movie Jurassic Park, in which Jeff Goldblum’s character Dr. Ian Malcolm derides the idea that life can be controlled just by breeding lysine-dependent animals. (Later when they find the dinosaur eggs hatched in the wild, he’s proved right) The awful truth is that Life (with a capital L) will always find a way round Man’s attempts to thwart and control it. That’s very Nature of life. It’s what it means to be alive. That alone should tell these dumb scientists that cold, chemical molecules are NOT the source of life. Neo-Darwinism is dead, not vitalism. Life is just very clever and cunning. Scientists suffer a surfeit of arrogance and stupidity when they begin to believe they understand ANYTHING.

Despite the continuous storm of ignorant criticisms, the vaccination principle does work. I got cholera when I went to Sri Lanka to help after the 2006 Indian Ocean tsunami. Protection only lasts 6 months but I wish I had taken a shot before I went (remember the heavy arm from that?) Pasadena was in uproar […]
