Autism Genetic Code May Be Cracked by Google
Autism Genetic Code May Be Cracked by Google
Can you imagine sitting down with your doctor to examine your autistic child’s genetic code? This idea may not stay a dream for long because companies are working on cracking the genetic code and making it accessible to everyone. A breakthrough would pave the way for new treatments and a better understanding of autism.
Getting the Codes
A project from Google and Autism Speaks is working on collecting the genomes from 10,000 people with autism and their families. This would provide scientists with a large pool of data about the DNA inside a person who has autism. Ultimately, the goal is to use this research to find better treatments for the condition.
Analyzing the Data
Researchers do not think a single gene is responsible for autism, and they are interested in looking at larger segments of the genetic code. They are searching for patterns, and a database of 10,000 people will provide them with the ability to compare multiple codes. Although the cause of autism is still a mystery, sorting out the genetic code could provide important answers.
Other Factors to Consider
The project is controversial, and some researchers want to see environmental factors considered. They question the idea that genetics are solely responsible for a person having autism. How much of a role do toxins, diets and the environment play in autism? Unfortunately, there are no clear answers from research at this time, and more studies are needed to uncover the truth behind autism.
Future Possibilities for Treating Autism
The ability to have each individual’s genetic code makes it possible for treatments to be customized. In the future, your doctor could write a prescription based on your child’s DNA and avoid wasting time on drugs that are not right. Your doctor would be able to create the perfect treatment plan.

Mental Health Options Grow with Smartphone Apps
Mental Health Treatment Options Grow with Smartphone Apps
Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed an app that brings new hope to mental health patients seeking treatment options. The PRIORI app relies on a smartphone to work and monitors the behavior of a patient. It is capable of analyzing the voice and compiling the data to help people take control of their illness.
Listening and Understanding
The app was created to help predict mood swings for people with BIPOLAR DISORDERS. By listening to the voice of the person with the illness and understanding the differences that can occur, the app is capable of predicting mania and depression. Early testing showed positive results, and patients were willing to use the smartphones without problems. Researchers hope this will lead to better treatments for all mental health patients.
Future Uses
Researchers hope that eventually the data from the app will automatically be sent to friends, family or medical professionals who have permission to receive it. They would receive advance notice of a person becoming manic or depressed and would be able to take action before problems become worse. This is a powerful tool, but researchers promise that privacy is being preserved, and data will not be shared with anyone who does not have the right to see it. Although one side of the conversation is being recorded, it is compliant with the law, according to the University of Michigan.
What You Say Matters
The study reveals that what a person with bipolar disorder says matters, and how they say it is also important. By analyzing the speech, the app is capable of detecting future problems, and it is directly linked to mood swings. Researchers are continuing the project, so there is still time to sign up. More participants will allow them to expand the data pool and continue to search for patterns.

Rhubarb-Raspberry Crisp Recipe
Rhubarb is great juiced or cooked in sauces or pie filling. I have used it with blueberries or strawberries and it is a fabulous cobbler. Here is my DIL’s recipe for Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp. We enjoy it Luna & Larry’s Vegan ice cream.
We freeze a lot of our fruit for winner jam and cobblers. Here in Alaska, Rhubarb seems to grow like a weed and so do raspberries. So we have an abundance to pick and store. My Rhubarb I have babied everyplace I have lived since the original cutting came from my parents homestead in North Dakota. Each new location from Oregon, California, Montana and now Alaska I have dug a cutting, for and, from each home and it has thrived. Now my DIL has two cuttings of the plant and she’s already putting up Rhubarb from a 2nd year growth.

Breville Juicer Giveaway
Juicing into the New Year Giveaway
with Breville
I have been doing lots of research on juicers since I want to begin juicing this year. I just don’t eat enough vegetables, especially green leafy ones during the winter. So I think drinking them will be a huge benefit to my body! I was looking for a juicer that didn’t break the bank and yet was very very good with leafy greens.
Are you wondering what a masticating juicer is?
There are two main types of juicers, centrifugal juicers and slow (or masticating) juicers.
Centrifugal juicers work by shredding the fruits and vegetables and spin at high speed to separate the pulp and juice.
Slow or masticating juicers crush and grind the fruits and vegetables to extract the juice, then filter out the pulp. They’re called slow juicers because they don’t spin rapidly, but they still only takes minutes to produce juice! Slow juicers produce drier pulp than centrifugal juicers, and extract more juice from leafy greens like kale. A slow juicer tends to be less frothy. And we are giving away one Breville BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Slow Juicer! You can read more about the Breville BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Slow Juicer HERE. This Breville Juicer retails for $599!
