Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Actions of all living creatures including humans, animlas and birds have single purpose all the time. How to exist and become happy. Knowing that life is limited, everyone wants to live eternally through offsprings. To investigate this issue, University of California (author not sure about name), Dept of Psychology conducted an experiment with the collaboration of Biosciences Dept, half a century ago. Messages on Diabetese in N. Y. times and a similar one in 'Secrets_Revealed' list (message no. 411) brought to the memory this old research. Whereas a holistic healer would have applied the conclusions of this experiment to all population, modern science, due to its reductionist and evidence based approach took such a long time to recognize Diabetes. A large cage containing very healthy mice, more females than males, was kept in a room with controlled temperature and purity of air. The cage was provided excess food liked by mice. They were fed non-vegetarian items also. For reference, this cage was `affluent' society. Another cage containing similar and equal number of mice was kept outside the building but in shade, less female mice, food just sufficient. This is `middle class society' for reference. After a month or so, the scientists observed that the affluent society was spending time nicely, eating much more food than other society, they had put up slight weight and looked happy. Their sex frequency noted increased with wider choice available. The middle class society was struggling to keep alive and slightly lost weight. They were fighting with each other for food, sex. So, decision to increase the food slightly was taken. despite this, as population too had increased. After another month, the affluent socity seemed obese and their sex frequency had decreased. Some children were born, the food/sex seemed adequate, so no fights. In middle class society, population had grown, so food was increased to account new population. The population seemed slim and happy, despite some fights for food and sex. Children used to play with each other and parents. They were learning the struggle for existence. After another month, the affluent society population seemed constant. Scientists were surprised. It appeared that the obesity, less mobility due to heavy body and loss of libido/capability for sex had made many mice depressed/aggressive and to derive some sadistic pleasure they were killing their own newborn. This change from usual five star food fed by scientists gave them some relief from the boredom. Nothing to do. How to kill time? Middle class society however, growing more rapidly and noise due to less food, sex, less living room, was being recorded by tape recorders. Occasional fights to protect the food, females and new-born were being recorded by cameras. But no deaths were noted. On the other hand, population growth rate was more than normal. After another month, the affluent society had only few aged mice left with no capability to grow the population. The experiment was stopped in another month, when they too died. Can we suspect that Diabetes does not recognise species, religion, country, sex or race? It perhaps recognizes affluence well. Author read about this research in a book written by Father Wallace, a missionary, nearly thirty years ago. Father Wallace liked India so much, that he never went back. His books are published in Gujarati language. Dr Bhate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
