Hello. My name is Yale S.Y. Landsberg. Here are some things about chronobiology that your doctor probably does not know. But you should.

The new science of chronobiology has discovered that illnesses as different as autism and Alzheimer's have something in common. These medical epidemics and many others are related to biological clocks that are poorly regulating sufferers' circadian rhythms. Plus, it has discovered that if you have a typical urban life style, your biological clock is likely to be out of sync with local natural time (daytime measured from sunrise to sunset, and nighttime measured from sunset to sunrise.) Therefore, it is logical to guess that not knowing where you and your body are in the passage of local daytime and nighttime can cause you problems, now or in the future. Sometimes very bad ones. I am now working with a few assisted living facilities where I have donated standalone Synclecrons. Except for these, there are almost no studies therapeutically exploring the possibility that millions of us are suffering from CUBS ("Chronically Under-informed Bio-clock Syndrome".) Which is why my GreenTyme non-profit is now also giving away -- to as many people as possible -- freely available on the Web Synclecron Circadian Clocks. These dual-time "timewholes" may help protect or improve your health.

Why do I think those Synclecrons will? Because chronobiology tells us that in order to regulate our circadian rhythms properly, our biological clocks vitally need to know local natural time. And the Synclecron adds local natural daytime and nighttime to conventional corporate standard time. Plus, it does so in a patented, information-rich/at-a-glance "GreenTyme" way. It is very possible that its local natural time component is as important to your biological clock as vitamins are for the rest of your body. As you will soon see and experience, it displays time the way your body needs to know the time. And does that in a way which will very much appeal to something deep inside of you. There is nothing more basic to your health and sense of well-being than your biological clock knowing what it really needs to know to do its job well. And then "bio-logically" doing that, free of its old local natural time information gap handicap.

I often get asked, "What's wrong with using a regular clock or watch?" My answer is very simple. GreenTyme's Synclecron Circadian Clock shows standard time AND the passage of daytime day from sun rise to sunset, and nighttime from dusk to dawn . An ordinary clock or watch , even a $100k Rolex, tells your biological clock nothing! Maybe that's why the second most often asked question is, "When will you have a Synclecron watch?" The good news is that I am working on providing a free "pocket watch" mobile browser Synclecron. The bad news is that due to allocating most of my funds to this site and the donation of standalone Synclecrons, I do not know when it will be available.

As you can see by now, I am not trying to sell you anything. But I am very much trying to encourage you to use your free Synclecron. And hopefully help me achieve these four very important GreenTyme project goals:

1) Increase awareness of the many different physical and mental disorders associated with biological clocks that are not properly regulating circadian rhythms.

2) Make more well known both the scientific and historical reasons for my (easy to test on yourself) "Chronically Under-informed Bio-clock Syndrome"/"CUBS" hypothesis.

3) Bring "chrono-cognitive therapy" to the attention of sick and well people around the world who might be able to benefit from often seeing displays of their "GreenTyme".

4) Encourage suggestions, and send contributions of programming time and small donations my way. Your help enables me to provide and improve the freely available on the Web Synclecron. And also provide and improve the standalone Synclecrons which I donate to Alzheimer's/Dementia Units, to sheltered workshops employing mentally challenged adults, and to science museums and schools. Plus, if you are a programmer, help me fix some bugs on my free "pocket watch" Synclecrons. As you can see below, free pocket Synclecrons that run on mobile browsers almost work. Until then, you can, of course, use your own customized to your location Synclecron on your pc or mac!

You may not be inclined to do any of that yet. Not even begin using your free Synclecron. Because the idea of a clock being curiously comforting (and maybe therapeutic) does at first seem silly. Yet as almost anything new and strange seems silly at first, you may become more open to that possibility once you know more. Especially as I am talking about the kind of "local natural time" found not only in all ancient cultures, but also found in your own past! Like the faint memory of your first day at the beach or your first sled ride in the snow, it is the kind of time you once knew and were in tune with as a small child. Just as you were forced to grow up and forget about your beloved comforting teddy bear, so too you forgot about how real bears, and honey bees and flowers -- and the real you -- need to experience time. Locally and naturally, the way sunrises and sunsets are local and natural. I cannot give you back that old friend from your past, but I can give you back the kind of local and natural time that you were born with, needed as a baby, and still need as much as anything else in your life.

So why not now take another look at the Synclecron in demo/fast mode below. And imagine for a minute why Dr. Yavuz Boray, a former World Bank economist -- who is now suffering from Pick's Disease (a pre-frontal lobe dementia) says of his Synclecron:

"It makes me happy."

While fast mode can almost be hypnotic, Dr. Boray's positive reaction to the Synclecron in slow real-time mode is typical. Ordinary people who also frequently look at their Synclecrons during the course of the day remark that it produces a feeling of serenity. When seen in the light of chronobiology's discoveries, it is easy to understand why the Synclecron can have that "curiously comforting" effect. Chronobiologists now know that timing is everything. Not just outside our bodies, but also inside our bodies. That is as true for healthy people as well as sick folks. The Synclecron tells every body's brain what its biological clock needs to know in order to better regulate organs, cells -- and even genes. Which is why if you work in a windowless office or cubicle, or are in some other environment separated from Nature, you are likely to benefit.

However don't take my word for it -- INSTEAD start actually using your free real-time version of the Synclecron Circadian clock. You get to it from here.
