Reimagining Humanity Launches: A New Short Film and Sequel to Breaking the Cycle Kindred Media
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: evolvednestinitiative@gmail.com
When the Evolved Nest is provisioned to children and to adults,
our full humanity is developed and expressed.
Through the Evolved Nest we develop the Kinship Worldview.
Reimagining Humanity gives us a taste of the kind of lifeways that nestedness promotes.
(June 1, 2023) Kindred World is proud to launch the Evolved Nests educational, short film, Reimagining Humanity. The goal of the moving and inspirational 12-minute film is to expand human imagination, based in deep history and transdisciplinary science, about human potential. We have not always been so stressed, disconnected and mindlessly destructive. For most of our species existence we have lived in cooperative companionship. The film illustrates what this looks like.
Reimagining Humanity names and illustrates many of the Indigenous/Kinship Worldview precepts, from trust in Spirit to trusting the cycle of life, from respecting diversity to avoiding rigid hierarchy. Through our Evolved Nest, our evolutionary and neurobiological pathway to lifelong wellbeing, we develop the Kinship Worldview. When the Evolved Nest is provisioned to children and to adults, our full humanity is developed and expressed. Reimagining Humanity gives us a taste of the kind of lifeways that nestedness promotes.
Reimagining Humanity is based on Narvaezs award-winning book, Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom, which was chosen for...

Low vitamin C status in pregnancy could be associated with progression of diabetic retinopathy. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Antioxidants (Basel). 2023 Feb 25 ;12(3). Epub 2023 Feb 25. PMID: 36978824 Abstract Title: Low Levels of Vitamin C during Pregnancy; a Risk Marker of Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetic Women? Abstract: Pregnancy is a risk factor for the development or aggravation of diabetic retinopathy. Here, we suggest a relationship between plasma vitamin C (vitC) status during pregnancy and into postpartum in type 1 diabetes and the possible progression of diabetic retinopathy based on data of 29 women. VitC was measured in first, second, and third trimesters and three months postpartum. The women had visual acuity testing and fundus photography performed at least twice during pregnancy and onto four months after birth. An overall retinopathy grade was assigned on a scale from 0 (no retinopathy) to four according to the International Clinical Diabetic Retinopathy scale. At baseline in 1st trimester, 12 women had no retinopathy; seventeen women had retinopathy in grade 1-3. The retinopathy grade increased in nine women; remained unchanged in 17 women, and improved in three women. No women had or developed proliferative retinopathy (grade 4). The level of vitC in 1st trimester predicted the possible progression of retinopathy-the lower the vitC, the more probable the progression (= 0.03; OR 1.6 (95% CI:1.06-3.2);= 29 (multiple logistic regression))-while the combined levels of 1st and 2nd trimesters and the mean vitC level of the whole pregnancy did not. The diabetes duration, retinopathy grade per se in 1st trimester, 24-h blood pressure measurements, kidney function, urinary protein, HbA1c, or lipid profile were not independent predictors of progression of retinopathy during pregnancy. Retrospectively, the women who experienced progression of their retinopathy during and into postpartum had significantly lower vitC levels in 1st trimester (= 0.02;= 9/20), combined level of vitC in 1st and 2nd trimester (= 0.032;= 7/18), and mean vitC level of the whole pregnancy (= 0.036;= 7/9), respectively. In conclusion, our results suggest that low vitC status in pregnancy could be associated with progression of diabetic retinopathy.

I can Do All Things Through the One who Strengthens Me The Story of a Remarkable Father and His Handicapped Son "IndyWatch Feed Health"
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Rick Hoyt, who became a national symbol of hope and inspiration to millions, died a few weeks ago due to complications with his respiratory system, as he had cerebral palsy, which left him a quadriplegic when he was born.
His father, Dick Hoyt, and co-teammate of Team Hoyt who competed in the Boston Marathon for years, as well as other competitions such as the Ironman Triathlon, died in 2021.
If you have never heard the story of Dick Hoyt and his son Rick Hoyt before, then read on and be blessed. It is a tremendous story about not listening to all the negative things this world tries to tell us, especially in the medical field, and how faith can overcome many obstacles the world puts in your way.
Rick was born in 1962 to Dick and Judy Hoyt in Holland, Massachusetts in the USA.
As a result of oxygen deprivation to Ricks brain at the time of his birth, Rick was diagnosed as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy.
As a result, his brain could not send the correct messages to his muscles. Dick and Judy were advised to institutionalize Rick because there was no chance of him recovering, and little hope for Rick to live a normal life.
His parents held onto the fact that Ricks eyes would follow them around the room, giving them hope that he would somehow be able to communicate someday.
The Hoyts took Rick every week to Childrens Hospital in Boston, where they met a doctor who encouraged the Hoyts to treat Rick like any other child. Ricks mother Judy spent hours each day teaching Rick the alphabet with sandpaper letters and posting signs on every object in the house.
In a short amount of time, Rick learned the alphabet. This was just the beginning of Dick and Judys quest for Ricks inclusion in community, sports, education and one day, the workplace.
With $5,000 in 1972 and a skilled group of engineers at Tufts University, an interactive computer was built for Rick. This computer consisted of a cursor being used to highlight every letter of the alphabet.
Once the letter Rick wanted was highlighted, he was able to select it by just a simple tap with his head against a head piece attached to his wheelchair.
When the computer was originally first brought home, Rick surprised everyone with his first words. Instead of saying, Hi, Mom, o...
