Scintillating, Sublime, Soulful Summer (autumn) Solstice 2021!!!

Pre- Weekend

And s though perchance a window of imaging time

In other newses ...



Yeah I gots nuthin the took out what was left of Dad's jail s and his indoor growding hut ffuts are gonna be a couple more weeks afores BUT Dad did manage to harvest the harvestable ones for kale night

       

[lamboy]

K surprise I was acknowledged as being right and not just fer kemysterios ffuts neether In fact t'was two things 1) Obamacare is and 2) the Paris accord climate ffuts is Stoopid politik   siguie right again

In other wurds people finally read the ffuts OR more likely someone made a YouTube thang asplaining the stoopidz

I also ed the stock market poifectly fer November and people were curious why I was hedging for December it's because China and Russia have to make BIG moves affores January so big ffuts could happen in the next 6 weeks Also the Democrats need to show or induce an economic disaster affores the end of the year or else the orange man might looks doog


Anywho inerestin timez

[lamboy]

I gotted back early just to image them elusive comets and the FOG roled in dang low hanging

   

         

[lamboy]

[Asiel]

n any event yer prolly NAFLD with increasing insulin resistance ... yes it s but as long as yer not the roman Diabetikus just go the Dr.E route and don't force the others along that path iffen they don't need it Do the pitting edema test daily and when you test negatory for a month straight yer prolly fine

I have no pitting edema.    Never have.   Neither does
now...   

I occasionally wear the compression socks cuz I have bad veins in my left leg.  Always have.  No ankle swellage nor nothin...just sometimes painful veins.      And I wear 2 socks or compression sleeves cuz it feels plain driew to just wear one.   

And there were no 'talks' about anything.   Amemberz?     I've yet to hear from anyone about my blood work.  I just read my own results at LabCorp.    And I scheduled my own recheck in January. 

Once again...  in rural AmeriKa there are NO doctors.  NO real medical care.  Many many many "providers" prescribing meds left & right according to some flow charts & there will be a doctor's name on the prescription tho you may never know for real in that doctor exists.    One doctor 'oversees' numerous Fast Pace doc-in-box offices. 

Seriously... I know far far FAR more about most things mediciney and medically than any of the "providers" around here. 

If you want to see a real doctor you have to go to Jackson, Memphis or Nashville but most of them don't accept new patients anyway cuz they are short handed.  Specialists take anywhere from 1-3 months to get into. 

That's red state rurality.   

Oh & another thing about here.  Most peoples 35+ take anywhere from 6 to 12+ meds a month!!!    It's unbelievable. 
Butch's officemate, Johnny, brings a plastic grocery bag (another red state oddity ) with his dozen or so meds to work with him every day.     He doesn't even know what he takes or why, just that someone prescribed it sometime & he never stops taking it. 

The second peoples here get a sniffle they run for a 'sinus shot' &/or an antibiotic.   The 'sinus shot' contains a steroid/antihistamine/something else combination.  We've never had one so I'm not sure, plus every office seems to have their own concoction. 

As for yo-yoing...yo, yo, yo      Me. personally, have been vegetarianism my entire life, always preferring salad to steak, so to speak.  And we've never dieted to lose weight.     I gained weight due to smoking cessation & then again due to menopause (& lessened physicality   ).   But I am not even technically overweight.  Just 10ish pounds from where I wish to be.  is at his ideal weight and      

has been 'chubby' since about 6 months of age.  I swore it was the mass quantity of lipids they putted into her IV when she was wee...the first 10 weeks of her life.  But she is still 20 pounds down from her highest weight. 


Anyway...talking all this ffuts & today is mass doof overdose day!   

I am completely letting Mom do her traditional thingy this year.   She truly clings to tradition & doesn't like change so I have silently vowed that she can does Thanksgiving her way for the rest of her life & I will help with every step of it.   Yesterday we made 6 pans of cornbread for the dressing, asparagus casserole & lemon icebox pies.  We already made the cranberry/orange/walnut salad. 

Oh & Mom's A1C was so low that her provider stopped the metformin.    


So... just processing... you is saying that we is nutritionally deficient so we'd best go back on the starvation diet STAT?         


I get it.  Autophagy & all that.  But it still seems counterintuitive. 


Happy Thanksgiving!      Happy 21 years since I posted, "Zanna, did I see a poll?"  :jen: & many many 'visitors'.     

[Asiel]

Oh & the condo that could nearly have been condemned...

We've spent 12K on a new HVAC and hot water heater.
And now another 15K on plumbing!   

Yes, plumbing!   

Cast iron pipes that were badly corroded & split. 
Work begins Monday.

We will be so thankful when this is all over & done! 

[lamboy]

I used ta thinxz you had a like a steel trap and just mangled eberythang but NOW it's becoming clear it's more like a blender pureeing eberythang together then ya pours out a memo


This is like when I sed wanted to sellz bracelets when you was sellaging durt candies by the road You confirmed the shin test and sed likely B too but that's less likely but I just letted it goes

Pitting edema is not the same as "swelling" in general nor is all swelling related to NAFLD. Iffen youse were healthy but insisting on being vegetational the most common "swelling" would be due to low albumin caused by low and inferior protein and or messed up electrolytes Cankles would likely be from being overly weighted and unerly sercized

Anywho no just no eberythang that puffs you out is not the same



Leave J and B out of it fer the most part I stopped asplaining why eberythang you thinxz is horribly horribly wrong ...


Fer the most part this latest is just about yer trigs and why yer Niacin choice was sooooo unRight Iffen you really want to address yer cholesterol then nicotinic acid because higher doses are safer than the no flush AND the no-flush doesn't do what you thinxz it does There that's it


The elaborating was a failed attempt at asplaining it wouldn't werk fer what you wanted regardless ... it helps iffen you noes the mechanism


Speaken of mechanisms ... garsh how does one cholesterol AND tryglycerides when they don't eat or oil?


Yeah I tried eluding to that but no amount of bread crumbs were going to help you there


"And there were no 'talks' about anything.   Amemberz?     I've yet to hear from anyone about my blood work.  I just read my own results at LabCorp.    And I scheduled my own recheck in January."

That's how it should be Though yer triglyceride shoulda had a bold RED message sezing sumthin like stoopid high or too infinty and beyond just to give some perspective


"Seriously... I know far far FAR more about most things mediciney and medically than any of the "providers" around here."

Quite possibly the skeeriest wurdz eber spoked


Wait does you count the you git wrong as being noed


"Oh & another thing about here.  Most peoples 35+ take anywhere from 6 to 12+ meds a month!!!    It's unbelievable."

No not really that's largely due to Obamacare I'm not sure about the 35+ cut off but at 50+ more than 80% have lifelong prescriptions and are on the polypharmacy train Srsly iffen people want to insist on socialized medicine monetize the curing not the treating


"Oh & Mom's A1C was so low that her provider stopped the metformin.    "

Doog for her but try to git her off statins and bp meds 'cuz metformin actually has other longevity benefits


"As for yo-yoing...yo, yo, yo      Me. personally, have been vegetarianism my entire life, always preferring salad to steak, so to speak.  And we've never dieted to lose weight.    "

I neber suggested you did   I'm also purty sure I neber even suggested you should I just frequently point out yer diet choices are like the undogly horror that is vegetarianism


"I am completely letting Mom do her traditional thingy this year."

About time you figured that out she'll change iffen 'n whenen she wants or nor


"So... just processing... you is saying that we is nutritionally deficient so we'd best go back on the starvation diet STAT?      "

That's an tra smooth memo blend

No I sed you and just YOU ... who sed you could handle the Dr.E protocol no problem would benefit


"I get it.  Autophagy & all that.  But it still seems counterintuitive. "

That's cuz you memorized terms and protocols without unersatnzing them Srsly knowing is useless understandiing is POWER


People follow a recipe or protocol to hopefully git a result they want. Iffen it werks great elsewise and try sumthin else. Iffen it werks but then they start tweaking and then find out it stopped werken then they is cluelos This is the  mindlos whurled of minions


When you unerstanz the process{es} you can predikt what will happen


It's ALL kemystery


In other wurdz iffen you unerstanz engines #1 and $2 ... and basic human evolution ... autophagy makes tons of sensicalz


It's why tons of salt in ketosis wont killz you but it might make yer go as a carbovore.


Happy 'n Day!

[Asiel]

What?   


I mean...


 




So yeah I noes you sed my liver is tending fatty.    And I unerstanz that the liver converts the carbs to fat for storage.

And I noes that extra sugars, even fruits , and excess calories get converted to fat.   

But I feelz (that's what I does ) that limiting the starchiest carbs, avoiding excess calories & most importantly for me... exercising...  is what I needs to do.  Plus replenishing my B12 & D3 levels cuz it's all connected...  

I bet I have a genetic triglyceride thingy but don't know cuz they didn't measure such a thing when my grandparents were aliving.   Zen Aunt has high triglycerides no matter what she does.  Not as high as me but in the 400 range.   Both grandmothers died from ffuts & I has no clue about either of their cholesterol or trig numbers.     

I am not worried about the number but thankful for the  

I've losteded 8 pounds in less than 2 months simply by walking, mostly.  Also yoga & mini tramp...working up to weights.  Baby steps.

I have not cheated & do not eat any fats other than tofu & a few a week. Oh & coconut oil in popcorn about twice a month.  Also no in a year-ish or so.   My body does not like alcohol in any amounts any more. 

I walked this morning in feelslike  24 degrees! 31 actual degrees.    Only lasted half a mile before my chest felt like it was gonna esplode so I came in, got a scarf to put over my nose & mouth & then went back out.   


Happy Birthday Month!!!      To Me 
I don't even know what month your birthday is in?   I'm guessing September.  Virgo season. 

[lamboy]

"So yeah I noes you sed my liver is tending fatty.    And I unerstanz that the liver converts the carbs to fat for storage."

K but still missing the point

Z at 4 hunert is fatty livering and fat storaging Above that and yer body is messed up sumthin fierce

Typically pancreatitis or some level of diabetus Once you've entered the realm of the fourth digit yer blood is basically a milk shake ... cholesterol is wrapped to make it more or less miscible triglycerides not so muches


In ketosis triglycerides are fuel and yer body happily uses them which is why for the most part triglyceride levelz as well as cholesterol don't mean what most doktorz thinxz no morez BUT yer a carbovore you don't really use ketones and yer body shoulda layering on the lard NOT ing the trigs. This is why HIGH levelz of trigs is often a sign of diabetes/prediabetes/ or some form of pancreatic shenanigans being in play

Regardless you is in a metabolic syndrome  thang the why and actly what depends on all sorts of factors.


... limiting the starchiest carbs, avoiding excess calories & most importantly for me... exercising...  is what I needs to do.  Plus replenishing my B12 & D3 levels ...

Um ... but it's the "how" that would moob thangs along the fastest AND Dr.E's protocol is literally {fer you and you only} ... the lickity splitiest 'cuz it's literally a into vegetational HECK ketosis

But yeah sure the slooow way might werk too


As for B12 & D3 yes BUT you should also look at all the thangs you missed while these were too low 'cuz they will also be deficient

[lamboy]

I wasn't gonna about it 'cuz you've gotted yer and can make yer own choices BUT  since obliviously ya noes yer B12 is stoopid low due to severe deficiency syndrome I  thunked I should mention the homocysteine and methionince and how you isn't no morez   and now yer more or than and now in addition to B1 ya needz B6 and B9 and as mentioned earlier that's Folate and NOT Folic Acid


Also iffen youse was concerned about cardiovascular ffuts ... it's the homocysteine that does the most initial damage

Oh and like B12 both B6 and B9 are water soluble so you don't store muches and need to take eberythang together generally for 2 to 3 months like B12 also you want to take them together preferably with B12.


Oh and you also likely need A and K ... that's K not K2. I'm assuming yer taking K2 with yer D. A and K are poorly absorbed from plant sources PLUS they all need oil for bestest absorptivity E is prolly ok from plants but srsly just has a

Or bestest of all disgusting liver yeah even I wont eat that and I'm LiverMan


Has I eber mentioned how hard it is to has a long term sustainable plant based diet

         

[Asiel]

Oh how I dislike taking supplements.     But I can.  And will.   


So is it possible the blood work was a fluke?  Temporarily elevated somehow?

So I never mentioned but the first time she went to draw blood she couldn't find any. 
Then she stuck again & said she hit the vein but nothin...
So she told me to come back in the morning after drinking as much water as I possibly could.
And I did.   

So my blood was (is?) sludge?   

Oddly enough, I feel fine.   

I am scheduled to recheck blood work in January but I'm thinking about pushing it back another month or so.
To have more time to tighten my belt, so to speak.   

I tells ya, the Esselstyn Diet is easier than trying to do low-carb veggie.   
It's the & such that fills one up on the Essy diet. 


But seriously iffin I has a I break out in hives from head to toe!   
But even if I did not have a reaction I cannot.     I just can't. 

Din't I ever mention how I usta sit at the dinger table with tears running down my face when faced with meat?  Especially fleshy meat.  I was coaxed (forced) into eating "just a couple bites" as a kid until finally I desensitized myself.   If we went to a steakhouse I had salmon or shrimp.  NEVER steak.  Always chose the fish sammich over the on Fridays at school. 

It's a lifelong me thing. 

How do vegan monks do it? 
And oh so many lifelong vegans?   

I'm not vegan but my leans that way.  And Dr Esselstyn's diet IS vegan with a    


   I pivoted from Esselstyn to adding a bit of Greek yogurt, a few nuts, cottage , :eggs:
and once or twice weekly salmon, tuna or chicken breast in order to avoid the nutritional deficiencies that someone continually reminded me of & I ended up in this mess!   
And now the one who says vegan=BAD recommends I re-up on the WTFPBNO!

Where's Zanna when I needs her?    
She would over this revolting revolution!

 

[lamboy]

"So is it possible the blood work was a fluke?  Temporarily elevated somehow?"

"Possible" yes but not likely results are easy y to tweak one way or another BUT unless you drank a quart of coconut oil about 3 hours afores yer draw yer numbers are prolly accurate-ish or possibly low


That sed yer a1c and blood glucose levelz would be a better indicator of what is what BUT the HIGH trigs are really the only indicator of serious system failure. Ok needing to dilute yer blood in order to git a successful draw is a tad worrisome it's literally why yer trigs might be lower than what they really is.


"So my blood was (is?) sludge?    "

Yup McD shake level though still shy of a Wendy's Frosty

K so nermal is under 150-ish but most Americantz are in the 200 to 300 range ... 5 hunert is generally the cutoff for the try to fix it yerself without yer in that above and beyond category As I recallz the upper uppity limit is ober 10k but you'll has symptoms galore by then

Anywho fortunately fer you yer in the attack and Diabetus belt so yer cholesterol didn't raise any emergency alarms BUT that's cuz yer doktorz have never heard of a vegeterrestrial and thinxz veganz are mythical creatures


"Oddly enough, I feel fine.  "

That's literally why how one feelz don't mean medically Chemotherapy patients can SUDDENLY feel fine too it's just the body sezing ok reset eberythang to this being the new nermal and "fine" is restored

You went to the doktorz 'cuz you new thangs were not "fine" now yer just not as bad ... which is yer new "fine"


"But seriously iffin I has a I break out in hives from head to toe!  "

Um you has alpha-gal syndrome ya noes


"How do vegan monks do it? 
And oh so many lifelong vegans?  "

Most cannot do it and the majority just fake it or don't realize they isn't what they sez The rest literally starve to death

Like the  Dalai Lama he wants to be plant based for religious reasons but he cannot

Most people cannot neether


"   I pivoted from Esselstyn to adding a bit of Greek yogurt, a few nuts, cottage , :eggs: "

Yeah so about that you'd do better iffen you actually unerstood how diets werk and stop randomly adding whatever it is you currently beleeb is healthy

Just 'cuz you eat sumthin don't mean you git what was inside nor the right amounts. The standard american diet is "bad" because too muches of eberythang and not enough of the right sercise.


"And now the one who says vegan=BAD recommends I re-up on the WTFPBNO!"

Yup it is BAD and will eventually killz you by nutrient starvation but like I keeps sezing it's not a diet for life it's a diet to fix what ails ya so you can git back to life

Individual results may vary

[lamboy]

K affores getting derailed by the durt train ffuts I was gonna post a thang I was asked by the minions ... it's a bit of a long but basically what I thunked abouts RFK and more importantly what I hope he is gonna be doesing that's not one of the mainstream ffuts


Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln better noed as Anktiva Here's the thang it's an IL-15 receptor agonist FDA approved for a tiny and very specific subset of relatively uncommon bladder cancers. Thang is it is NOT a chemotherapy it's actually a type of "Immunotherapy"

Here's the kicker it's "prolly" effective for nigh ALL cancers and with luck RFK Jr. will fasttrack it


I've been watching it since 2010-ish and it's one of the reasons I'm fascinated by NK {natural killer} cells and in particular the ones generated in the spleen.


FYI: PEMF is noed to increase IL-15 protein production as well as spleen NK cells

And as mentioned affores Liver, Spleen, Pancrease the sigue brand PEMF trifecta ... ok the gallbladder has it's place too but quadfecta doesn't has the same rang

[Asiel]

Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln better noed as Anktiva

Who names this ffuts?       They spelt alpha wrong.   



That's super cool tho.  You noes they (the whole admin) are simply breaking all the sickly systems and then we (as a country) can rebuild them right.   

Butch just got a bill for $980, call it a grand, for 4 months of Medicare that he cannot even use becuz he's still got insurance through his employer.     The bill came yesterday... a total :shock:  and is due on Christmas Day.    J ack I also got a bill for Medicare for $400 even though she is covered by BlueCare through the state of TN.   But now she has Medicare, too.  I'm not sure which pays first.   And of course, once he retires he will have to pay for supplemental insurance as well. 

It's a scam.  And pricing so many people out of coverage period which will make people go without.  And then when an emergency arises guess who gets stiffed?  The already ailing hospitals. 

We can pay the $$ but we sure don't want to. 

I think they're trying to force everyone into Medicare Advantage plans & eventually do away with Medicare altogether.  It's reminiscent of back in the 90s when everyone was forced into HMOs. 

But I digress.   

Me?      So the numbness & tingling in my hands might not be from the B12 deficiency after all. 
But it does get better when I get a shot which Ima gonna do today.  It will be my 3rd so far.  20 bucks well spent. 

And this: Anywho fortunately fer you yer in the attack and Diabetus belt so yer cholesterol didn't raise any emergency alarms BUT that's cuz yer doktorz have never heard of a vegeterrestrial and thinxz veganz are mythical creatures


Wrong.  And wrong.  Oh & wrong again!!   

My triglycerides (which are not cholesterol ) are quite perplexing to my provider who is NOT a doctor, one more time.  She herself has had high trigs & she is a triathlete.   She is extremely diet knowledgeable & her husband is a chef.  They host training retreats & he cooks for everyone, including more than one vegan athlete. 
Kirsten & Jeff are friends.   She is healing-minded & not in a hurry to prescribe meds unless, of course, that's what a patient wants. As I said before, she only works 2 days a week & frequently travels the world for races but she will help in any way I want her to.   



Yesterday we met with 's new cardiologist.    He's young, seemingly brilliant, & Pakastani if that makes any difference.    Very thorough, very detailed.  Got more info in one visit than in 3+ years with old cardiologist.   B is wearing a wireless monitor for 2 weeks which records a continuous ecg.   B also had arrhythmia data from smart watch as well as cardiamobile.   He is going back on a statin but lower dose & every other day due to prior side effects.  First week of January he's having a stress test & another imaging (I forgot) & back to go over results right afterwards.   Doc says he may need a blood thinner if the aFib is confirmed (which he said he highly suspects after seeing the recent strips). 

We were thrilled at a doctor who actually listened and an office that was prompt, efficient.  B already gotted his lipid panel results & detailed office notes by the time we got home yesterday.  We have yet to hear from former cardiologist about test results from over a year ago!!   

Fwiw his trigs were 400.  Total cholesterol was 250, LDL 149, HDL 38.     
Funny his HDL has remained constant throughout. 

Oh & I just found out that my Mother and Grandfather (Buddy) 
both had high trigs, but not overly high cholesterol.  Buddy also had untreated diabetes with glucose levels around 400 from the age of 71.    He lived to be 91.    But he did have TIAs & related dementia.   

[Asiel]

I keep forgetting to tells you...

A couple weeks ago the Princess (19) was on the island (she's the only cat allowed there) as I was pouring a new bag of spirulina into the candy dish where it lives.  She was nearly frantic, trying to get at the spirulina.  (the compressed tablets you recommended way back). 

So I gave her one.  She chomped it right up like it was a cat treat. 

So then I googled 'is spirulina safe for cats?'.   

Yes.  And very doog for them as well.   

So I began giving her one a day & she eagerly ate them for a week to 10 days until SUDDENLY she stopped. 

I figure she doesn't need any more right now.       

She's my hero.    So frail but yet so feisty.  She lays down oh so very slowly and her back legs don't walk well.  But she can still hop up to a lap or up on the stool and then to the island. And she still swats lightning fast if another cat gets in her space.   

I've offered spirulina to the others but none of them will even taste it.

"Who names this ffuts?       They spelt alpha wrong.  "

That's NATO pHoneticalz the idea is that it's pronounced the same in all languages and it's obliviously the geek translation of the original research target ... yeah I speekenzie geek  fluently and nerd at a HIGH level


"That's super cool tho.  You noes they (the whole admin) are simply breaking all the sickly systems and then we (as a country) can rebuild them right."

Sorta ... the systems were stoopid to begin with and is a major factor in the ing deficit ... Obamacare was awful and is better ed


"Me?      So the numbness & tingling in my hands might not be from the B12 deficiency after all.  "

Um what? that IS one of the symptoms but you got a lot a LOT borking and doesing freaky ffuts


"My triglycerides (which are not cholesterol ) are quite perplexing to my provider who is NOT a doctor, one more time."

I didn't sez they was Yer cholesterol is high but nermal-ish fer where you is Yer trigs are the stoopid HIGH and no they is not "high" like yer fambily YOU is HIGH no not but um ... ... look just ask Mr.Google "what does triglycerides over 1000 mean"  THEN ask Gemini or yer favourite AI ... no not me ... what are the likely causes.

FYI: No it is not "genetics"

Also stop using relative terms like "high" yer way WAY out of that league Up to I thinxz 500 is "high" after that yer talking emergency intervention and what knot.


Also git a better doktor ... once yer trigs are in the 4th digit there's some serious borked up ffuts happening I thunked you just gotted a bunch of test run an didn't with anyone.

Iffen you has a doktor that will order whatever then git a HOMA-IR ... elsewise yer HbA1c and fasting glucose numbers shoulda been what she anyone looked at and  pointed ffuts out from.


Thang is just the Trig number and yer diet shoulda been the first clue

[lamboy]

I gotted home early 'cuz it's a rare clear night but the frickin is dang near AND it's in the East still it's blinding out the comet

   

           


"It's a scam.  And pricing so many people out of coverage period which will make people go without.  And then when an emergency arises guess who gets stiffed?  The already ailing hospitals."

Not just a scam BUT a pyramid scam ... much like social security ON the plus side you cannot blame Biden nor Trump for this It was long time stoopid rolling like a boulder down a hill until now

Of course now that people feelz the pain there will be more action to all of the fraud

The bad news is that because of Obamacare healthcare is between 4 and roughly 10 times more than it should be even with the stoopid high Bidenflation Wurst of all it was always purty oblivious a terrible idea but they thunked they could consolidate power afores the and now nope just


As for B's new doktor

All of my original hold Actually they is more meaningful now espeeshully the statin ffuts There's a time and place for statins but typically only a very short time and only iffen he's chronically inflamed undergoesing surgery OR has one of those hepatic viral issues That last one is purty muches the only reason to take a statin indefinitely

The questions now should be quantitatively judging his health at 3 time periods. 1) when it all went the first time  2) post Dr.E protocol afores you tweaked thangs and  3) Now


"Fwiw his trigs were 400.  Total cholesterol was 250, LDL 149, HDL 38.

Funny his HDL has remained constant throughout. "

I noes this will sound Mr. but that's about what you'd expect considering yer his chef Doog cholesterol is low Trigs high basically high carb standard american diet numberz



"My triglycerides (which are not cholesterol ) are quite perplexing to my provider who is NOT a doctor, one more time."

K last time ... fer realz ... I don't unerstanz why this is "perplexing" to anyone yer a mostly plant based eater ... you try to avoid supplements and you use very little oil. Yer deficient in them thangs herbivores are deficient in, you is strictly carbivorous and you're absorbing little to none of the oil soluble nutrients 'cuz no oil

It's not rocket surgery you can just ask Mr.Google does low vit.D lead to high trigs? Then 2nd question does low B12 raise trigs? I'll give you a hint ...


That sed 10³+ is more than a bit deficient you also have a cascade of metabolical issues 'cuz eberythang is a and you need X to use Y and absorb this or that and you not d no moresz


This is like I keep telling the vegetational minions ... by the time you realize you are low on iron or B12 or Calcium or you is deficient in a lot LOT morez


K that's it for that soapbox ...


Oh wait ... spirulina ... I never "recommended" it ... I just werked out the nitric oxide content as a way to avoid eating vegetables. In particular I sed 3 spirulina plugs more or less equaled one vegetable hit as in 6 Dr.E protocol veggie shots would be 18 plugs total. Oh and the protein content is marginally closer to being a "complete" protein. Now Zero Boy ... yeah he recommends that

siguie right agin


From the Dr. John Campbell youtube ... Vitamin D mistake


As you may has noted a few years agoes I gotted fascinated by vit.D and after getting my home D tests 'cuz my stoopid doktor wouldn't ok a D blood test ... long LONG short I figured out I needed 10,000 to 12,000 IU per day which made no sensicalz though during non-summer months I tend to not git any so  figured ok perchance that

Anywho basically the RDA was stoopid ... yeah what a surprise ... and their 400 to 600 IU per day shoulda ... wait for it ... 8,895 IU per day


Anywho, currently I takes 10k IU per day + 50k IU on Moondasies and FryDaisies + ~500 IU from cod liver oil


The nufny thang is that telling my doktor how much I took gotted him to order a ... wait for it ... vitamin D level test as well as a CAC 'cuz he figured I was calcifying the out of my arteries and soft tissue

Anywho, he's an idiot and I don't use the i wurd lightly oh and CAC=0 and the D test it just sed HIGH I nude that I wanted a number


Yeah this was a 2014 paper so I shoulda noed BUT I don't backtrack sadistical papers

   

             


In other newses there was just a window to git comet 2025 Atlas C/K1 ... sadly this is not 3i Atlas aka {k3} BUT I gotted it I also gotted it afores the Novermber-ish splitting after passing by the ... anywho there was a 12 minute window so I used 11 minutes and 20 seconds 'cuz my calculations have a 30 second +/- that and there are trees that moove Anywho I gotted it

[Asiel]

  ALERT!!!

3IAtlas is a 'foreign', as in galactic foreign, interventional um...entity...sent to our Solar System to tweak our and aid in planetary ascension.   

This I know from inner knowingness.     

You hafta admit it does not behave like a lamron comet or such.  Doo Doo DooDoo... 


And yes, I've already  read about B12 (mine was pretty severe) deficiencies and D3 deficiencies and elevated triglycerides & the likes.     

And I just gotted my 3rd B12 injection plus I'm taking liquid as well as B complex & sublingual B12...all at different times throughout the day cuz I understanz that I'm peeing out half or more of what I takes.   

I respectfully disagree about the starvation (Esselstyn) diet for me now tho.     My body tells me that I needs more B12/vitamin D doofs.    Oh & my intuition tells me that D3 from the is not what it usta be. 
B or I neither one tan like we once did & the light is not the same.   

  again.   


So those spirulina tablets contain B12 as well as A & K.     I have begun taking them as well. 
And I'm taking 50K D3 2x a week.   


Been too busy lately.  stayed with Mom Wed thru Sunday cuz we had to go to Jackson Thursday, Nashville Saturday, Murray Sunday.   


Oh & after years now of statin discourses, on all sides of the situation, I have come to the conclusion that is exactly the type of person that stations do benefit.     He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis.  It is not too bad right now but we're heading into his worst season. And he does have a strong family history (amembers...his Dad died at 56 from attack plus numerous aunts & uncles).  He also continues to has elevated LDL, low HDL and high trig's even with WTFPB eating.   Now when he was on a statin before is when his LDL got down to 40   And his total was under 100.   So there's that.  Too low causes issues as well. 

But even some of Dr Esselstyn's patients were/are on stations.  His exact words:
Statins appear to have modest benefit in primary prevention but are of some help in slowing disease progression for those who already have an established diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
From: https://www.dresselstyn.com/site/statins-should-i-take-statins-or-not/

is unwilling to adhere strictly to the Esselstyn way. He will go 80% or more but he says he "needs" chicken,egg, tuna & the occasional

I bet his B12 levels are fine.      's too tho we are gonna get her checked out soon. 

And as he "needs" ... I "need" rice.     Brown is fine but jasmine &/or basmati is better.

"You hafta admit it does not behave like a lamron comet or such.  Doo Doo DooDoo...  "

that's like saying an apple is nothing like an orange Comets espeeshully the nermal ones are generally oort cloud long period critters. 3I is an interstellar visitor hence the "I" in it's name AND it's only the 3rd noed one hence the 3 so hasing only them previous two to goes on it's hard to call anything "nermal" Also it's not coming back which is why I wanted to git a faretheewellz pikture


"I respectfully disagree about the starvation (Esselstyn) diet for me now tho.     My body tells me that I needs more B12/vitamin D doofs.    Oh & my intuition tells me that D3 from the is not what it usta be.

B or I neither one tan like we once did & the light is not the same."

K the Dr.E thang is horrible BUT that's literally the only autophagic system you has any sperience: with so no I'm not sezing Dr.E or death I'm saying YOU obliviously has a metabolic syndrome and since it's not rocket surgery yer condition is sumthin effecting your Liver 'cuz cholesterol/trigs B12/D3/Omega 3s


"And I just gotted my 3rd B12 injection plus I'm taking liquid as well as B complex & sublingual B12...all at different times throughout the day cuz I understanz that I'm peeing out half or more of what I takes.  "

K so how long between and tingling in the hands goes poof THEN how long until it comes back?

This tellz a few thangs 'cuz generally it gives an indication of level of nerve damage but more importantly the injection bypasses the other B12 malabsorption issues which may be from separate digestive issues AND you should has an indication of imrovement or not which can be used to make other informed decisions like are you also missing them repair nutrients yada yada 

Also the whole thang isn't sactly correct the Liver is speeshul It can save B12 for years google will say 3 to 5 years BUT typically Indian post docs out and in 2 to 3 years It's called enterohepatic circulation the thang most don't unerstanz is that B12 or rather lack of B12 is the asplinashin  it's the cascade of thangs that actually cause the problemz


"Oh & after years now of statin discourses, on all sides of the situation, I have come to the conclusion that is exactly the type of person that stations do benefit.     He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis."

Wow way to chug that koolaide   Also what statin disclosures? I have yet to see anythin The people who benefit from statins are the ones with "active" atheromas or vascular damage.

It's yer choice but his numbers are less skeery than yers and iffen youse has medicare AND whatever company insurance why not goes with one of the non-statin prescription drugs? They basically doose the same thang without the noed statin issues

[lamboy]

No there's still no "disclosure" about statin data I was hoping I had just missed it so agin ... no clue what you is referring to As far as I can tell the quantitative data used to determine whether statins are healthy or not is still considered privately owned by the manufacturers


Regardless it's really yer choice but I still don't know why you wouldn't go with a non-statin prescription






" is unwilling to adhere strictly to the Esselstyn way. He will go 80% or more but he says he "needs" chicken,egg, tuna & the occasional "

K I noes I only mentioned it 4 or 5 timez and it will be another 2 years afores it actually clicks BUT Dr.E's protocol is for YOU and ONLY you Yes, it woulda doog iffen B coulda held out for 18 months but that ship has sailed Think of it like taking an antibiotic but stopping when you feelz better but the hasn't been removed. Each subsequent attempt has less and less chance of werking and more and more likely to cause problems.

Supposedly you ... because you sed you could happily does the Dr.E protocol, it's a different   That is literally the only reason I keep pointing it out. You could git better and faster results by going keto but vegan keto is vastly harder than regular keto and you barely unerstanz the concept of keto and are completely confused by autophagy


Vast quantities of B12 and fewer carbs will prolly put you back in the not so skeery trig range

You still wont unerstanz the problem but perchance it will just goes away


"He does have inflammation...muchly with the psoriasis ..."

Yeah completely not the point ... oil induced microvascular inflammation ... hyperglycemia as a proinflammatory stimulus ... endothelial glycocalyx damage ... ring any bells? These are the tech bits that Dr.E asplains as "these doofs damage the endothelium" ...


The point was YES of course he has inflammation ... yer/his diet s ... psoriasis is more likely a a symptom of that inflammation NOT the inflammation itself.

Oh and it might be helpful to unerstanz the difference between a genetic predisposition and a fmbily history 'cuz they are frequently not the same

[lamboy]

K so siguie right agin yada yada

SO ... ... another minion ... a newer one ... gotted her blood test back from the mandatory pHyzical and yup low iron on account of stoopid plant based diet AND yup high triglycerides She was told to gits B12 and iron and that they would monitor her cholesterol and trigs. The only reason minionz eber tellz me anythin about their health is 'cuz others mention I noed some ffuts Anywho when tellded about the trigs I instinctively pointed out she should takes Zinc and went on my standard diatribe about how plants and yer getting more copper than zinc and why zinc from supplements is

The point ...

A short whilez back ya did the zinc taste test thang and both you and B were moderately low while J was nermalz. I kinda figured you hasn't changed too muches BUT yeah same deal as back then ... Zinc not from stoopid plants and definitely not from multi-stoopid


Anywho it's part of that cascade failure thang ... in addition to B12, D, etc. Zinc though I woulda thunked that woulda goesed without sezing

K so life went once again...

But first this:  No there's still no "disclosure" about statin data
I never said disclosure.  I said discourses.  Learn to read!       


I miss my quiet life.   

So... Mom's ablation didn't work this time for whatever reason.  But she recently gotted a bunch of shots of something (she didn't know & I wasn't there) & feels doog.  And the doc wants another MRI after the new year.

J's blood work came back & SHE is the one who is pre-diabetic & insulin resistant.   I am not at all shocked.
He BP was stoopy high (180/120) and after a week of 5mg lisonipril it's down 50 points!   I'm checking her twice a day cuz at this rate we'll maybe need to cut the dose.    I put the handles back on my mini tramp & have her bouncing gently.  Her cholesterol numbers were just slightly elevated. But her B12 & D were lamron.

B gotted blood work too & his is perfect except for a slightly elevated PSA that we're gonna keep a :check on. 

So even though we all eat the same (mostly) I am the only one messed up bigly.   

But here's the new thing that I am reluctant to tell cuz...    Siguie right again. 
And yes, I've heard you & yes, I looked into it, but...

I'd been having an issue with a crown, implant & borked tooth for awhile.  The crown on the implant never felt right & eventually broke the tooth beside it which greatly eased the pressure I'd felt.  But something was wrong.
It felt like a loose toof & iffin I tapped on the crown it hurt, badly, like a real toof.   

So I found a new dentist cuz I no longer trust mine & went in on Monday.

Long story short...4 hours in a dental chair (much of that time spent deleting emails on my phone as I waited) & finally it was determined that the cemented crown had to come off.    I knew that when I went it. 
But what I didn't know was that the entire implant had to come out and I have significant bone loss. 
I was just in for a cleaning 5 months ago & that's when former guy wanted to send me for ANOTHER implant. 

The dentist said there's nothing I can does about the bone loss but the internets says that red light can help & I've already begun that.

Oh & I had to pay $500 buckaroonies to have the $2500 (my part) implant & crown removed! 

BUT...here's the ykaerf part

The next morning while was in the shower his dental implant (he has just 1, I have (had) 2) FELL OUT! 
He says, "I guess I wanted to be like you" & I says, "You just wanted to save that $500!".   

Anyways, yes we noes that means he has bone loss as well.   

If it ain't one thing... it's two or three!

So sister was here, sister is gone. 

Been to Nashville twice & had to have MAJOR plumbing work done (15K worth) as cast iron pipes were cracked & corroded.   Then drywall work as multiple walls & ceiling were cut out. 

But...we accepted an offer on the House of Horrors.    Fingers crossed that it all goes through. Set to close on 12/30. 

And... I gots tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet on Monday at 2 for my birthday!   
Our usual pack of 5.  Back to Nashville for that.

Lots more has been going on too but I don't even remember what was for supper yesterday. 
Today is the first day I've gotted to catch up on things around here in a couple weeks.
