Why are we having so much trouble with the food supply?

It could be our growing love of technology. We can build a computer that previously only humans could do. But the technology we're using on our food could be harming people on a daily base. The problem seems to be humans are not machines. The human body is a complex organism that takes in food, sun, air and water. It absorbs what it eats and mostly discards the rest. Everything consumed becomes a complex interaction.

It all starts with some basic vitamins and minerals. The body is comprised of approximately four to six percent minerals. What the proper minerals, vitamins cannot function in the body. Vitamins are organic micronutrients essential to normal human metabolism. Each one performs an important function in the body and is necessary to maintain a proper balance. Most are not manufactured by the body and need to be

Hydrophilic minerals are the minerals used by our body. These are plant derived minerals which means they enter the plant through its root system. They are 200 to 2000 times smaller than metallic minerals. They are water soluble and easy to dissolve without digestion. The absorbs almost 100% of Hydrophilic minerals.

There are two different classifications of vitamins which are Fat Soluble and Water Soluble. The Fat Soluble vitamins are vitamin A, D, E and K. Fat soluble vitamins can be stored in the body. There are nine types of Water Soluble vitamins E. There are eight EC just the vitamin is in has identified B vitamins and vitamin C. Water Soluble vitamins cannot be stored by the body and must be replaced. These are just the vitamins that man has identified to date and there is no telling how many remain to be discovered.

Worm's brain cells switched on with ultrasound.

 'Sonogenetics' technique might be used to non-invasively stimulate specific neurons in other animals.

Neuroscientists have used ultrasound to stimulate individual brain cells in a worm, and hope that the technique — which they call ‘sonogenetics’ — might be adapted to switch on neurons in mice and larger animals.
The technique relies on touch-sensitive ‘channel’ proteins, which can be added to particular brain cells through genetic engineering. The channels open when hit by an ultrasonic pulse, which allows ions to flood into a neuron and so causes it to turn on.
Ultrasound could be a less-invasive way for researchers to stimulate specific cell types or individual neurons, rather than using implanted electrodes or fibre-optic cables, says neurobiologist Sreekanth Chalasani, at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, who led the study reported today in Nature.
“Our hope is to create a toolbox of different channels that would each respond to different intensities of ultrasound,” he says.
"It's a cool new idea, and they show that this could really be feasible," says Jon Pierce-Shimomura, a neuroscientist who studies the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans at the University of Texas at Austin. “This could open a whole new way for manipulating the nervous system non-invasively through genetically encodable tools.”

Light up a cell

The research follows in the footsteps of optogenetics, a popular, decade-old technique in which neurons are genetically engineered so that they can be activated by light. Optogenetics relies on inserting light-sensitive channel proteins into neurons. When hit by the correct colour of light, often sent into the brain via a fibre-optic cable, the channels open, allowing ions to flood in.
Sonogenetics will not replace optogenetics, says William Tyler, a neuroengineer who specializes in ultrasonic brain stimulation at Arizona State University in Tempe. “But with this paper, there's one more tool on the block,” he says.
Ultrasound has long been used for medical applications. Low-intensity waves help doctors to monitor fetuses or heart function. And high-intensity ultrasonic pulses can be used to heat and destroy certain diseased tissues. In recent years, says Tyler, researchers have taken a growing interest in the use of ultrasound as a non-invasive way to stimulate brains and nerves, in both animals and humans. He and his team published one of the first reports of ultrasonic brain stimulation in humans² in 2014.
But whereas previous work stimulated particular regions of the brain, sonogenetics shows that it is possible to target a specific cell type or an individual neuron, says Chalasani. His team found that the ion channel TRP-4 plays a key role in helping the worm sense ultrasonic vibrations, and could be manipulated to dramatic effect.
Since ultrasound does not travel well through air, the researchers first put worms on a petri dish partially submerged in a water bath. They sent a short burst of ultrasound into the dish, and amplified the low-pressure waves by adding microscopic lipid bubbles onto the petri dish's surface that resonated with the vibrations.
