Fascinating. Particularly when recognizing illnesses that various family members have had, but would not have connected in the past. Scary when you start comparing family histories with your partner and realize the vast potential of illness available to your child. I attended a seminar recently on PH balance in our bodies and how the foods we eat effect the acidity of our bodies. Apparently it's very difficult for disease in general to thrive in an alkaline environment and yet our modern diet predominantly creates a highly acidic environment. It can be overwhelming, but also vastly fascinating!
Thanks for visiting my humble blog. Flux capacitor? I admit I didn't get it at first and had to google. Wondered if it was something medical then okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
Recognised the dancer from the dance as WB Yeats though. :D
Wow. If it's accurate it explains a lot in my family. My dad died of alzheimers and closely connected that is all sorts of crazy. Schizophrenia, OCD, anxiety. hmmm. Yes. It explains a lot. Pretty cool.
Just went back and looked again. My dad was hypertensive his entire adult life, but other than that was healthy as a horse. We do have asthma and alcoholism. But absolutely no cancer on either side. Really interesting.
Now I have another excuse to put off that mammogram.
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

"Poetry has nothing to do with poetry. Poetry is how the air goes green before thunder. Is the sound you make when you come, and why you live and how you bleed, and The sound you make or don't make when you die."- Gwendolyn MacEwen

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush

Yeah -- that's some wild stuff. Thanks for posting all those alarming circles. Lends new meaning to the six degrees of separation model...
very cool... but looks like I am screwed. No just kidding, I didn't find my cancer on there... maybe I am safe.
Elizabeth aw man! Don't look at them again if they alarm you. I already knew many of those connections but found the layout kind of nerdy awesome.
zip i am familiar with that research and it is fascinating! we eat primarily whole foods so that gives you a huge jumpstart right there.
Annje i didn't know you'd had cancer? Or did I forget? Have you spoken of it?
Damn. I wish I'd seen this early so I could have stolen for my own site.

That's pretty darn cool. In a slightly disturbing way. I get the nerdy fascination!
fascinating. a bit anxiety-provoking, but fascinating.
