Thom Powell Drinks the Ketchum Kool-Aid

Thom offers upwards a tasting of the Ketchum Kool-Aid

"If that makes me a “Ketchum supporter” then, yes, I approximate I drank the Kool-Aid. All I tin tell is, it was delicious." -- Thom Powell

There is no dubiety that Bigfoot Lunch Club is a friend of Bigfoot author, Thom Powell. Heck I fifty-fifty illustrated the comprehend of his best selling Bigfoot book Shady Neighbors. I am also a huge fan of his previous must-have book The Locals. Click the next link to purchase either of his Bigfoot books.

Due to Thom Powell's books he is on tape for reporting many of the Bigfoot phenomena earlier they became mainstream conversations--mainstream among bigfooters anyway. While non everybody "bought" into these topics we still discuss them; topics similar infrasound, cover-ups, habituation and yes, fifty-fifty Bigfoot DNA. Thom Powell is no hack when it comes to the topic, he has given a lot of persuasion to it and clearly has made his ain conclusions. 

Thom in addition to I talked close the theme of his recent post, "Bigfoot deoxyribonucleic acid Evidence Redux" a total calendar week earlier he posted it. We didn't concord much over the phone, but if I'm honest, his weblog post service affords him greater powerfulness to brand his points. Points of which I notwithstanding disagree with, but I practice induce got some favorite parts. I loved his synopsis.

OK, thence hither it is inwards a nutshell: 109 samples were obtained from all over North America.
(Obviously, the sasquatch phenomenon is to a greater extent than widespread than most people realize.) Most samples were hair, but non all. Blood, saliva, in addition to fifty-fifty a tissue sample was analyzed. Not all of the move was done past times a unmarried lab. Some of it was farmed out to academy labs that were non initially given whatsoever background close the samples they were asked to examine.

The findings were remarkably consistent: mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA), which is indicative of the woman someone element of the genome, came dorsum every bit human! The nDNA (nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid from the manlike someone progenitor) was constitute to last ‘novel’, which is geneticist code for “doesn’t stand upwards for anything previously extracted.”  Also, large sections of the deoxyribonucleic acid strands appeared every bit unmarried strand molecules (haploid), every bit opposed to the uniformly double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid of all human deoxyribonucleic acid that is non constitute inwards gender activity cells (gametes). This mightiness betoken that the deoxyribonucleic acid beingness sequenced was highly degraded DNA, but degraded deoxyribonucleic acid is constitute to comprise lots of bacteria, in addition to no bacteria was constitute inwards conjunction alongside the deoxyribonucleic acid that showed unmarried strand configuration.  It was non degraded, but it was unmarried strand deoxyribonucleic acid inwards close one-half of the segments that were sequenced. Multiple labs observed this anomaly, an[d] dutifully reported it to Ketchum.

It is the in conclusion judgement that I bring out troublesome. Does it thing that Ketchum was dutiful?

In some other paragraph from his post, Thom in addition to I absolutely concord that Ketchum's study tin last vindicated if she allowed other scientist to replicate her work.

I suggested to medico Ketchum that vindication of her move volition entirely come about when it is replicated past times some other study, perhaps fifty-fifty to a greater extent than than one. She wholeheartedly agreed. We are told that medico Bryan Sykes at Cambridge is already on it. Meanwhile, Ketchum has consummate confidence that her methodology in addition to her trial volition withstand the assay out of fourth dimension in addition to scientific scrutiny, if scientists volition only hold off objectively at her work.

There are a few parts where the post service seems similar a Valentine to Ketchum, but I induce got been known to fawn over personalities myself; namely Cliff Barackman, Sharon Hill in addition to Thom Powell himself. My biggest problem concern regarding Thom Powell's post service is that people volition immature lady his reference to Chapter 10: “No Stone Left Unturned.” of The Locals.

This is where Thom impresses (and inspires) me most, alongside his ain studies in addition to thoughts compiled from many sources.

There is i in conclusion doozy of a rock that is notwithstanding unturned.  It’s kind of the viii hundred pound gorilla inwards the room that nobody wants to beak about...

I’m referring to the other one-half of the sasquatch genome that the Ketchum study identified; the purpose that isn’t human. The sasquatch genome, according to the Ketchum’s work, is human deoxyribonucleic acid that interspersed alongside deoxyribonucleic acid that is absolutely unknown.  It is neither ape, nor human, non lemur.  Ketchum has no persuasion what it is, nor does anyone else, but the ‘novel’, unmarried strand, haploid deoxyribonucleic acid is at that spot for anyone to bring out who knows how to sequence it. Is it some evolutionary offshoot of humanity that nosotros induce got yet to position inwards the fossil record?  Maybe. But the mysterious sequences are unmarried strand, that is haploid DNA, in addition to all terrestrial deoxyribonucleic acid inwards somatic cells (blood, hair, tissue, bone) is diploid unless it is inwards gametes (sex cells).

OK, thence what is the source of this genuinely new deoxyribonucleic acid that Melba Ketchum constitute inwards the sasquatch genome? For i possible answer, banking concern check out The Locals, Chapter 10: “No Stone Left Unturned.”  What gave me a chill when I read the Ketchum study is the possibility that I may induce got written downwards an reply 10 years earlier I fifty-fifty asked this question.

Read Thom's consummate post service regarding his thoughts on the Ketchum Study at ThomSquatch. While you lot are at that spot purchase his Bigfoot Books too.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow I volition issue a thoughtful missive of the alphabet sent to us from a Ketchum advocate!
