Quoting: Jane Grey 862970 Were you shown a series of high speed images on a television, not once, but many times? Was the school psychologist selectively interested in you? Yes, Near Santa Barbara, often until I was caught smoking cigarettes. After which they just halted. In addition to the battery of tests and labs, there was a movie I watched in a room by myself that resembled a movie titled "Future Shock" that the entire Junior and Senior classes assembled for approx. 4-5 years later. |
Observer User ID: 12411641 United States 01/21/2013 11:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's okay. Btw, I was a really big baby--10 pounder but that's unlikely to be tied with DES (an estrogen). The reason why I'm asking is that a curious aspect of the DES exposed children is an effect on the lateralization of the brain and handedness. Basically, a possibly more flexible brain. Ironic that I would end up in a program whose focus was on left/right brain development, isn't it? I'm not sure what entirely is ticking through my head and I certainly haven't found any research on google scholar that would point to any deliberateness. However, what I did find was that, by the time I was dosed as a fetus, they had been talking for almost 10 years about congenital defects associated with the growth hormone, DES. Other thing I noted while looking at all this stuff was a whole lot of interest in the endocrinology of the placenta, mother and fetus and experimentation with the injection of hormones. Most of the time, it involved lambs, rats and the like. Something else I stumbled across was HGH being associated with curvature of the spine and the discussion about scoliosis on this thread immediately popped into my mind. Hence why I'm asking these questions. Hormones, prenatal injections and the like? Big babies? So far, in private query, we're 4/4 on big babies so I may be onto something here. |

Observer User ID: 12411641 United States 02/03/2013 02:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know how anyone on this thread can help. We were in an educational system based program. The weight as a baby thing was to see if that was another common denominator among us because of the mention of physiological oddities. From what I could tell, growth hormones were being experimented with for a long period between the 60's through the 80's. I know for sure that a growth hormone was used on my mother prenatally. Another was found to cause curvature of the spine when given to healthy, normal children. I don't know if what you're going through is related to any of this thread. I haven't developed any new powers. I just think infinitely faster now. Other than knocking down my dissociation, that's the only other thing that has changed. Whatever you are going through, hang in there. |

Hell, I've got video of me madly infatuated with someone that I don't remember and would never be attracted to without some serious drugs involved. The gut, that can be manipulated too. How about "go with your primal instincts and good fucking luck"? :) |
