My Reaction GIFs to Ketchum's Recent Facebook Posts

It's been a while since we've mentioned Dr. Melba Ketchum here and if you're wondering how she's doing, we're happy to report that she's doing fantastic! We heard her new book Mystic Forest is doing great on Amazon, and yes, she's still having a difficult time with other scientists not buying her "peer-reviewed" Bigfoot DNA paper. Here are some statements from her Facebook page to fill you in on what you've missed this past week:

The book is back in stock. Sorry folks. The rating is fluxing wildly. It jumped from a 300000 ranking (to be expected since I haven't done a media blitz with it) to 105000 overnight. Amazing. Here's the link again. http://www.amazon.com/MYSTIC-FOREST-Wishes-Melba-Ketchum/dp/0991121899/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390675414&sr=8-1&keywords=mystic+Forest+wishes and an alternate link is https://www.createspace.com/4501337

These were generated straight from GenBank = It means that the bioinformatics person at UT pulled the mtDNA genomes from the whole genomes they sequenced and BLASTed them in GenBank and then used the NCBI to generate the mitochondrial phylogenetic trees. The sequences he pulled from the whole genomes were identical to the mtDNA genomes sequenced early in the study for those 3 samples. This confirms: 1. That they are the same samples previously tested. 2. If there had been other types of mtDNA (other species or contaminants) they would have been picked up in the whole genomes because all of the DNA in the organism/extraction is sequenced when you perform next generation whole genome sequencing, not just the nuDNA. 3. It shows that all three mtDNA genomes embedded in the whole nuDNA genomes were 100% modern human and identical to previous mtDNA sequencing done at the beginning of the study.

Somebody says there is a video cam on Animal Planet on my lease, NOT TRUE. I wouldn't allow it. I haven't seen anything true said about the study lately or anything else for that matter, just more crazy rumors. The mainstream scientists just ignore it. There are about three "hater" scientists that are trying to make a name by publicly running down the study, but NONE of them are geneticists. One that did speak out that was a geneticist has no experience with assembling whole genomes like Dr. Swenson has. There are those that support the study and contact me privately. They are afraid to have their names associated with it after the way I have been treated (except for David Swenson but he is retired so doesn't have to face a faculty). Brave man, Dr. Swenson! Thanks again for your support.
