 Everyone with a dog or cat has seen their pet eat grass to vomit and clean out fur balls and other indigestible substances. Who hasn't seen a cat get inebriated with catnip? (Valerian also has this effect on cats, including lions, tigers, and mountain cats.) There is an entire field of study called zoo-pharmacology that studies animals and how they use plants to prevent illness, treat diseases, and alter consciousness.
Indigenous people have many stories telling how their ancestors learned about many medicines from various animals. |

 Kurt Vonnegut identified an enduring truth when he wrote in Cat's Cradle: "The hand that stocks the drug stores rules the world."
What is not so widely known is that, as a group, psychotherapeutic drugs, along with cardiovascular medications, have been the primary source of Big Pharma's profits over the last two decades. Collectively, central nervous system drugs, of which psychiatric drugs are the primary component, are among the fastest-growing segments of the world market. CNS diseases, which include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well as psychiatric diseases, are, well, hot. |

Long ago, Mark Twain said: "A man who tries to carry a cat home by its tail will learn a lesson that can be learned in no other way." If Twain were around now, he might try winding up a derivatives business. After a few days, he would opt for cats.

 A leading conservator of French-period furniture told me that his atelier hosts a resident house cat on whom he depends to detect "imposters" on the basis of glue traces. When, for example, a Louis XIV escritoire, purported to be pristine and original, arrives in the shop, the atelier closely scrutinizes the cat. Should the cat display great interest in the object, smelling the remnants of old fish glue, the piece of furniture passes the test. Feline disregard signals a telltale synthetic glue, a sure mark of later modifications decreasing the piece's value. |

 It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white,' Deng Xiaoping famously observed in one of his early speeches on economic reform. 'All that matters is that it catches mice.' But Hu's GDP tools, which I've heard leaders all over the country begin to talk about, reflect the government's new belief: the color of the cat does matter. The goal now is to find a cat that is green, a cat that is transparent. |

 Cataria derives from the Latin catus, meaning "cat." The English name catnip came from the habit cats have of nipping off the leaves to chew with telish.
General Information
Catnip is a temperate herb of the mint family that originated in the milder climes of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The herb was brought to Notth America about 1620 by a certain Captain John Mason, who considered it one of eleven essential herbs for the fisherman's garden in Newfoundland, and it became a popular everyday tea. |

 Inside the box was a "fiendish" (Schrodinger's term) device which feeds the cat food half the time, and poison the other half. Which one the cat gets depends completely on the random decay of a radioactive sample. In the laboratory is a make-believe "intelligent observer" who ponders the cat's mortality. Occasionally she opens the box. The cat's status, dead or alive, is unknowable unless and until the observer acts. |

 And then you start doing, "C-A-T, cat. D-O-G, dog. Three plus three equals six."
Before that, children don't have the concept of themselves as individuals, separate from everything else. It starts to build a part of the brain that is undeveloped, which we'll call the logical side, or I call the micro side. That develops at the cost of the macro side.
Much of our curriculum is designed to reignite to the macro side; to help people remember their original self and once that connection happens learning happens at a remarkable pace.

 In Pribram's own studies with cats, in which he recorded frequencies from the motor cortex of cats while their right forepaw was being moved and up down, he discovered that, like the visual cortex, individual cells in the cat's motor cortex responded to only a limited number of frequencies of movement, just as individual strings in a piano respond to a limited range of frequencies.3?
Pribram struggled with where this intricate process of wavefront decoding and transformation could possibly take place. |

 The cat would become agitated (at least, sometimes), and Cannon would then draw blood from the animal and compare it with the blood of cats that had not been made to feel threatened.11 Following a lead from a colleague, Daniel Roy Hoskins, who was working in a laboratory in Ohio, Cannon found that the blood of frightened cats always contained a certain hormone then called adrenin (today called adrenaline or epinephrine). At the time, it was known that adrenin was secreted by the adrenal gland (located on the kidney). |

 If your child is asked to spend the night sleeping over at a friend's house, warn the parents of the asthmatic condition and ensure your child takes medication along—there may be a cat or dog in the house that will trigger an unexpected attack.
Medication for Children
In general, the medication prescribed for children with asthma is much the same as for adults, and information about it is given in Chapter 3. |

 Thinking she had multiple sclerosis, he sent her for a cat scan and an MRI. Both tests, however, indicated that she had a "healthy brain."
Despite the fact that her dazed-and-confused symptoms are indicative of poor blood sugar control, not once did her doctor ask her what kind of foods she was eating. In the end, relief came not from her puzzled doctor but because she finally took a friend's long-standing advice to quit sugar.

 The most astounding recovery that this veterinarian observed, however, was when he used Protocel to try and help a small cat that was so sick from FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), that he was almost dead. This cat was not expected to live through the night, so the vet assumed it couldn't hurt to try one last thing. He began administering Protocel (Formula 23) to the cat. By the next morning, the vet was astounded to see the cat sitting up and drinking water. This alone was amazing. But by the third day on Protocel, the cat was energetic and eating normally. |

 In another regression, a woman in her 80s recalled that as a baby she was nearly suffocated by a cat lying across her face. All her life she had been afraid of cats, even if only seen on television. After I suggested that she imagine herself as the baby jerking her body and throwing off the cat, she immediately lost her fear of cats.
In many instances, memories and scenes come up that are obviously from a previous life, even if a person doesn't believe in this. Most common is the experience of a violent death as a cause of serious present problems. |

 However, the cat's ability to convert tryptophan to niacin is now negligible.8 While cats normally do not need to be given vitamin C because they are able to synthesize adequate amounts, they require diets containing about 40 mg of niacin per kg of body weight each day. 9 This is very similar to the amount of vitamin C synthesized daily by most mammals, but not, of course, humans. Cats have more or less lost the ability to synthesize niacin and most get pre-formed niacin supplements in their diets. |

 A -262C -> T polymorphism in the promoter region of cat is associated with risk of several conditions related to oxidative stress. Interestingly, the CC genotype relationship with breast cancer reduction was only observed among Caucasians and not in African Americans [98]. cat polymorphism at codon 262 does not appear to be real to diabetes and the risk of heart disease [99]. The reason for the disconnect among genetic polymorphisms (CAT and MnSOD), oxidative damage, and risk of cancer and heart disease warrants additional attention. |

"Cat allergens can be smaller particles than normal allergens, such as pollen or flowers, and [they can] reach deeper into the airway of the lungs," Allen explains.
THE STUDY
Allen started this study after noticing that asthmatics often complain of symptoms even days after exposure to the triggers—such as cats or cat hair—that had spurred the attack. |

Avoid cat's claw while attempting to conceive, during pregnancy, while nursing, and in children under three. Those taking ulcer medications or immune-suppressing drugs should not use cat's claw; those anticipating or recovering from organ or bone-marrow transplant should likewise avoid it.
A possible side effect from large amounts of this herb is diarrhea. |
| Research on this plant is very recent. Cat's claw is known to increase the number and activity of phagocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, and leukocytes— all important components of the immune system. It also inhibits blood platelet aggregation and cleanses the intestinal tract. It is used in the treatment of
Young catnip leaves can be made into pesto or added to sauces or salads. The leaves can also be used as a meat rub for flavoring. Before Chinese tea became popular in the West, catnip tea was a common beverage.
Other Uses
The leaves have been smoked as a euphoric and to stop hiccups. |

| In the laboratory is a make-believe "intelligent observer" who ponders the cat's mortality. Occasionally she opens the box. The cat's status, dead or alive, is unknowable unless and until the observer acts. According to the logic and mathematics of quantum physics, Schrodinger argued counterintuitively, it is the observer's act, the observer's measurement, that has determined the cat's status. Thus, Schrodinger used this "experiment" to study the "both/and" characteristics of the quantum world, so very different than our world of "either/or" causality. |

 Out-of-date dry cat and dog food is sometimes sold as salvage and ends up in cattle feed.
My own comments on the feeding of chicken litter to cattle, which are posted at http://www.madcownews.org, are as follows:
This is fascinating news for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that chicken litter is being fed to cattle in the U.S. and, therefore, cows are ingesting highly toxic arsenic that's contained in the chicken litter.
But don't put it past meat growers to use any chemical necessary to generate more profits. |

Conventional lung-function tests may come up normal, he says, so his team decided to do more sophisticated testing that can measure the amount of air that is trapped deep in the lung.
"The amount of air trapped in the lung correlates with airway reactivity—how sensitive your airways are," he says. "The more air that is trapped, the more symptoms you will have. |

 Scientists at New York University trained a cat to distinguish between two doors, one with a pattern of two concentric circles on it. The cat easily learned that the door with the circles could be pushed open to reveal a bowl of cat food. But the experimenters were shocked when a radioactive brain scan revealed that this simple act of recognition and discrimination lit up 5 to 100 million of the cat's neurons at a time—one-tenth of its entire brain mass!14
This experiment showed that the same neurons must be used for many different memory networks simultaneously. |
