MUTANT? The weird griffon of Argentina


 

ARGENTINA. In the city of Garuhape, Misiones province, the population was surprised by the finding of the corpse of a weird - a chimeric animal. Half bird, half bird, the creature is being called by the media of Griffin, in reference to the mythological being traditionally described as having bird head, wings and body of a lion.

Measuring just over 23 inches, the 'Griffon was discovered in January (2014). It was hidden beneath a fruit basket in the house of a young student of Genetics - Valeria Machado, from UNAM (Universidad Nacional de Misiones).

Valeria said: At first I thought it was a bird but soon realized (and also her mother) that the creature had the ears. Then, I concluded that it was a newborn rat that could have suffered some kind of mutation.

In other cities of the same province - Misiones - other strange beings, like this Griffin have been found but, even now, have not been studied by scientists.

The "fish-boys" of Peru


PERU. In the city of Pucallpa, (the capital of the Ucayali region, the Coronel Portillo province), three brothers - Samuel, Jesus and George (above), suffer from a rare genetic condition called ectodermia (Syndrome Christ-Siemens-Touraine or Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia) that forces them to remain in the water to prevent skin damage and even death.


One dangerous characteristic of this "anomaly" or "difference" (genetics), is that the boys do not have sweat glands (or, if or when, the carriers of this ill they have these organs - they are atrophied - they aren't functionals. They do not sweat and therefore must be kept at temperatures below 20 º C (Celsius).

In this condition, living in a region where the temperatures easily reach 30 ° C, to survive,  the boys need to be wet every ten minutes.

To attend school, is required the aid of buckets of water that are placed next to each of them to maintain the body moisture which they do not produce. One of the functions of the perspiration is help the metabolism to mantain the organism fresh; maintain body temperature.
(RPP, 2013)

Also, not sweating, the boys are deprived of an important agent removing toxins harmful to the body: the perspiration, the sweating.

In Pucallpa, are known as the boys-fish. Olivia Oré, mother of the children, tells: My baby cried a lot and I do not know why but, when watering her head, he slept.

The three boys of different ages, suffer from the same ailment. When will wander at earth, in free air,  mother has to carry containers with water to keep them fresh. The couple (his father is Olympian Oré) have has two other daughters who do not have the anomaly, because it only is transmitted to males.

The disclosure of the case mobilized the authorities in the region, specifically the Defensoría Municipal del Niño y Adolescente (DEMUNA) of Pucallpa, that provided all support to children. The boys were taken to the country capital, Lima, where, at the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño, may receive more appropriate care.

The representative DEMUNA reports that ... They had no identification (documents) then we provide the paperwork for them to have access to health insurance Integral. The doctors said the brothers need specialized treatment.



The American actor, Michael John Berryman (1948 ...) is carrier the Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. He developed a career in movies and television usually in horror and science fiction films, such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files and A Cuckoo's Nest or One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).

The ectodermia produces malformations in the skin, such as fish scales and the carriers of this mutation need keep themselves in constant contact with water to survive. The main symptoms of this condition are absence of sweating, hair loss and malformations of the teeth, which are small and sharp.

The Satyr of El Salvador



SAN SALVADOR. Identified only as Joseph, 19 years (in 2013) - living in a village (canton) remote, extremely poor, near the city of Ilobasco (Department of Cabañas) - he suffers from an abnormality in epidermal tissue that causes the rising of lumps with an appearance of bones. 

Some of these formations seem horns, others - claws, thick spines but especially your hands and feet have developed themselves like misshapen hooves and sore. José became unable to walk. 

It's one of those strange cases these genetic puzzles. Like the disease that gave fame, in 2008, to Dede Koswara, fisherman of Bandung. He stood known as the Tree-Man of Indonesia. 

The scientific name of dysfunction or "skin disorder" is epidermodysplasia verruciformis (also called Lewandowsky-Lutz's dysplasia). It is an extremely rare, inherited and characterized by a dysregulation in the metabolism of the skin caused by a sensitivity (and subsequent reaction) to the human papillomavirus (HPV). 

At worst, within the normal level, this is the virus that causes warts. Because the disease is rare, the virus is not. When contário, is very common. They are found in about 80 percent of humanity manifesting as asymptomatic infections. 


The epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a mutation which "disables" the HP genes on chromosome 17 of the human code. There is no cure or effective treatment that can to control the the manifestation of the mutant gene. 

 All it can do is use drugs inhibitors disorder, some - actually, with positive results - as the interferons, the retinoids, able to, eventually eradicate, yes, the uncomfortable and painful excrescences. 

 In severe cases, when the mutant dermal formations have already taken the patient's body, the only alternative is surgery, to remove the abnormal tissue. (This was the case of the Indonesian Tree Man). 

The phenomenon brings to mind the mysteries of human genetics ideal formula, the invisible intelligence of the biochemistry governing these bodies of skin, flesh, blood and bones; makes think in infinitely complex equation of logic governing the experiments, sometimes cruel of the Nature an of the Destiny. 

An equation still not acessible for human Knowledge. In the case of Joseph, of El Salvador, the social drama that greatly aggravates the situation is recurrent in the world. It is evident. It's very poor people with no hope of access to necessary medical care to alleviate the suffering of the guy and his mother.

To the Tree-Man, Dede Koswara, disclosure of the case in electronic media, television and Internet, was salvation. Calling the attention of the world with pictures and testimonials, on video posted in YouTube, the indonesian obtained the assistance of a north-american dermatologist at the University of Maryland - School of Medicine in Baltimore - Anthony Gaspari (image below) - who applied medication and did the first surgery in 2008.



The dermatologist Anthony Gaspari . He saw the case in a TV documentary and stood interested. He went to Indonesia. Visited Dede Koswara the his humble residence of the patient where samples of tissue were harvested for examination, in order to establish the diagnosis and treatment line.

According diagnosis, Dede Koswara requires two surgical procedures per year as part of their treatment, the base drug is vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoic). The treatment is necessarily continuous because the disease has control, but it is costly and simply invisible oe irrelevant in its rarity bizarre for public health managers.




For the Salvadoran known only by first names - Joseph of ... El Salvador, perhaps the single path of access to the Brave World Miracle of Human Medicine is the same of Tree-Man .. 

Expose himself in TV programs, blogs and other niches of mass communication, that often listed cases like this among the topics of entertainment, that there include extreme bizarre. 

Then, maybe - exist a hope for José because he can be the next man ... bizarre mutant. After all, its excrescences have their own personality. José could never be the new Man-Tree. He is the man of Hooves and Horns. 

Unlike the indonesian man, that already shows resourcefulness in dealing with journalists, surrounded by family - Joseph of El Salvador is a young man whose peculiar condition prejudiou and harms their development as a whole.



In the neighborhood where he lives is an aberration that causes laughter or tears of those who look him. Rejected, lives almost isolated in the hut. Only he and his mother - she, visibly tired - thinks that the case of the her son can be a work of witchcraft. Infantile in its 19 years (in 2013), it is loaded in the back by his mother because his feet have become an unviable pain and no functional

They don't are able to touch the soil. Abandoned in their poverty and ignorance in a "nowhere" in Latin America (but ... with a celular phone!) - without the miracle of the media, without fifteen minutes of fame under the flashes of the Circus, José probably never will have a chance to be free or relieved from his damn mutation .

José, indeed, he has a good chance with the mass midia. Because there's something really mutant on the figure of José of El Salvador. In face, an expression of alienation and a devilish goatee of bones gives the man the appearance of a satyr and a slight tip of joy in the brilliance of his strange and very clear eyes, green or blue, completely unexpected in a central-american young native lost in an end of the World ... The Satyr of El Salvador.

🧬 Mohenjo-Daro - The Millennial Indian Knowledge About DNA

Harappan inscriptions

INDIA. One scholar, specialist in the Vedas, established in the city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Central India, Chandra Prakash Trivedi, author of several books and considered one of the most competent authorities in Jyotish, the Hindu system of astrology and one of the six disciplines of Vedanta, claims that DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid, which contains the code for all physical and psychiatric configurations of an individual) is not a discovery of contemporary Westerners. 

Rather, it is an ancient knowledge, whose records can be found in the ruins of the mysterious civilization of Mohenjo-Daro - located in the Indus Valley.

Trivedi is touting the release of his newest book: Indus. Vedic Genetics Indus Valley - Vedic Civilization

He comments: I am proud to say that the DNA was first discovered in India, more than 18,000 years ago and their representations are engraved on seals that were found in excavations in the Indus Valley.

Nowadays, the DNA is considered a discovery of the Swiss medical and scientist, Friedrich Miescher, who revealed their double helix structure 1953.

Trivedi contests the modernity of this discovery and says that not only the DNA structure, but also the processes of cell division (meiosis and mitosis) - are illustrated clearly on seals and tablets of rock, in Mohenjo-Daro.
Chandra Prakash Trivedi is one of major world authorities in Jyotish, the Hindu system of astrology. His background includes generations of outstanding scholars in Sanskrit, Ayurveda and astrologers.

Since childhood he lives surrounded by cosmological Vedic mythology. David Frawley, chairman of North-American Vedic Astrology Concil wrote about him: He is the youngest and the most insightful astrologer from India

Prakash Trivedi has studied at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi. After graduation he went to Arizona where lived among the indigenous of Hopi nation.

Are titles of books he has written: 
The Key of Life (Astrology of the Lunar Nodes)
Sun - The Cosmic Powerhouse, 
The 27 Celestial Portals (The Real Secret Behind the 12 Star - Signs Revealed)
PT's Notes. To know more, visit the researcher website: the OSFA - Orion School & Foundation of Astrology - [http://www.osfa.org.uk/].

The Indian researcher explains: The DNA and was named Tvashta or Vivasvat. Its pictorial representation at the Indus Valley is undeniable

There, says Trivedi, a small set of rock seals represents the evolution of the cosmic creation and the man's evolution, in symbols That follow a chronological order.

The representations - that show the structure of DNA in details and the process of crossing of the genes, were made millennia before of modern science obtain the same discoveries.

The Indus Valley Advanced Biotechnology New Hypothesis explores a new dimension to understanding people and the brain. Life in all its forms is one, but they all have different genetic identity in the DNA. Genetic fingerprints can determined identity even after death, in their ashes. In fact, scientists know very little about the mysteries of DNA.

Genetic technology can also be dangerous, having destroyed many advanced civilizations on Earth before. Advanced Indus Valley Biotechnology has apparently made this mistake. DNA is just an instrument which control is beyond the control of scientists.
