#CBD slows #bone remodeling in study of #osteoporosis

19.12.17: news.health/osteo/cbd/
GPR55 antagonist reduced mouse bone resorption:
12.23: summary:
. bone strength is maintained by remodeling,
where bone is removed by osteoclasts
to make way for new bone by osteoblasts.
. CBD appears to inhibit osteoclast function
and might be of use against osteoporosis;
but it also increases the number of osteoclasts,
so that if you ran out of CBD for a time,
the osteoclasts would be reactivated,
and there would be many more of them.
. as seen with the Bisphosphonates
the strategy of stopping resorption is flawed,
and should rarely be used [Dr.Ott]
because while the bone may remain dense,
the bone is not maintaining its strength.

. interestingly, this is another situation
where CBD and THC counteract each other.

. as a strategy to control bone loss,
a person's hormone function is key;
[J Osteoporos. 2010]
but, never take hormones orally,
or when modified in some patented way;
that is how Hormone Replacement Therapy
got a bad reputation.
. see Dr.Lee about progesterone cream
for bone health as summarized by Dr.Jo.

estrogen dominance as a risk of prostate cancer

19.12.15: health/hormonics/cancer#prostate/estrogen:
. Dr.Lee 2002 noted that prostate cancer is
one of the many diseases that can be
associated with estrogen dominance,
where there is too much estrogen
relative to progesterone.
. this is supported by a 2011 study
[ Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2011:
Estrogen action and prostate cancer.]

. estradiol-17β has been classified as a carcinogen
by the International Agency for Research on Cancer [9–11],
primarily based on its association with
endometrial and breast carcinoma in women [12–15].

. young men have low estrogen,
moderate progesterone,
and 4 times as much testosterone (T);
but when aging they get more estrogenic activity
and the combination of T and estrogen
is what dramatically increases the risk
of prostate cancer.
At least in rats, testosterone alone
is necessary, but not sufficient,
for the development of prostate cancer.
It is only with the addition of estrogen
that cancer can be reliably induced.

eye wear prescription data at home

2023.4.7: update: 19.12.8: aq.med/eyes/

generate eyewear prescription data at home
. one cool thing about at-home testing
of the eye's need for prescription lenses,
is knowing that there are eye wear providers
that accept your eye wear data
without proof that you have a prescription.
. this is valuable to me because
I have not felt comfortable with
the script that my eye doctor wrote:
the distance vision adjustment was
too strong, and the near vision was good for a foot away
when I would like to see what is in my lap.
. my first response was to wear various reading glasses
over my distance vision glasses;
but what I would prefer to do is
just order bifocals with my
preferred prescription strengths.
. I would still see an eye doctor to check for
diseases, such as glaucoma and AMD.

a doctor's path to reversing artery plaque from insulin resistance

19.12.2: tv.med/heart/a doctor's path to 
reversing artery plaque from insulin resistance:
Ford Brewer MD MPH Apr 18, 2017
How I Reversed 20 years of Arterial Plaque: 
Heart Attack Proofing?
. ACE inhibitors, like statins,
are designed for one thing
{lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol}
but they are actually most helpful because
they are reducing inflammation.
. he reduced high-glycemic carbs,
[noted in the captioning]
and because that lowers insulin
which improves blood lipids and pressure,
he was able to lower his dose of medications;
. he also used niacin, and ate salmon every day.

how to avoid malware on flash drives

19.11.20: cyb/sec/how to avoid malware on flash drives:
co.quora:
. any computer is prone to infections from

so that a website can infect computer firmware;
then it can infect your flash drive firmware
which can then infect other computers.

arrythmia better or worse from low iron?

19.11.25: med/heart/afib/
arrythmia better or worse from low iron?
. an elder who visited the doctor for afib
(atrial fibrillation or arrythmia)
was told that one aggravating factor was that
her ovo-vegetarianism had resulted in low iron
and that she needed to take iron supplements.
. I was surprised to hear this,
because it was previously believed that
higher iron levels involved oxidative stress
and men were being encouraged to give blood
in order to keep their iron low.
[Amer J Epi 1998]

how moderate red wine use affects hormones

19.11.11: web.health/hormonics/diet
/red wine and alcohol:
. red grapes fermented or not
may raise levels of free testosterone (T)
by reducing conversion of T into estrogen;
and can also lower the binding of T with SHBG.
. alcohol may reduce inflammation for heart,
[Dr.Sears, the inflammation zone]
and it may reduce what is binding T,
but may also convert more T to estrogen,
and might reduce progesterone levels.
. red wine compared to white wine,
gives more free T and lower SHBG levels.

how #vegan diets are more prone to bleeding

9.6: health/diet/how vegans are more prone to bleeding:
9.10: summary:
. vegans seem more prone to bleeding;
Sears's zone diet research suggests
that there is greater risk of bleeding
when taking high-dose fish oil,
because the omega-3 oil EPA
greatly exceeds the balancing effects of
arachidonic acid (AA) omega-6 oil.
. it is quite likely that the converse is true,
those with very low levels of AA,
are going to have a bloody EPA/AA ratio
even if their EPA is not high.
. one of the richest sources of AA is egg yolk,
and AA may be why a 2018 study showed
Chinese eating one yolk daily can
reduce their risk of bleeding death.
. a great vegan source for both protein
and the omega-6 that may be converted to AA,
is chickpeas (1.1g omega-6 per 100g);
of course, nuts and seeds
are the richest source of omega-6
other than processed oils.
. chia seeds and walnuts are balanced:
chia: 5.8g omega-6, 17.5g omega-3.
walnuts: 38g omega-6, 9g omega-3;
walnuts are rich in polyphenols too.

#christian proof our #god does not hate #queers

9.5: relig/christian/proof our god does not hate queers:
. Rush Limbaugh on the radio reminds us
people who believe in the god
don't worry about global warming;
because, this place was made for us,
so, how could it be so easily destroyed
by such things as cow belching?
. also, I couldn't find it in his transcript
but I thought he said something
that seemed similar to the idea
that the god of the entire universe
hates unrepentant queers;
has Rush any idea
just how queer nature really is?

why is the sky blue? the #god

8.14: phi/metaphysics/why is the sky blue? the god:
. the universe is just a math model:
all the colors that I see it has
are actually coming from my own soul;
but I wouldn't know what to do with all my colors,
without the god's assignments
telling me how to arrange them.
. our soul's color blue has been assigned to
EM wavelengths of 430 to 450 nanometers,
or a frequency of 7.03x10^14 Hz.
8.15: web:
. usa's gov explanation of why the sky is blue
has nothing to do with perceiving blue;
the question they answer is
"why is the sky emitting EM at 7.03x10^14 Hz?"

can you trust Consumer Reports with vitamin D advice?

3.19: mag.health/diet/vit'd/
can you trust Consumer Reports with vitamin D advice?:
Consumer Reports [cr] on Health april 2019:
"do you really need more vitamin D?" [vd]
. new study with 2k IU for 5 years
didn't reduce risk of cancer or heart disease;
1600 IU in elders didn't prevent falls or build bone.
. this article implies that these are good studies
and that all prior studies showing benefits from vd supps
are all bogus or defective;
but this article has done nothing to prove that.
. if all the studies are good
it could mean that vd alone doesn't help;
you need other dietary and lifestyle changes too.

19.6.17: tv.pol/healthcare/industrial farming
/Rob Wallace`african swine fever:
6.19: summary:
trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming:
. part of the reason for encouraging flu vaccine
is that globalized factory farming
is increasing the rate of flu virus evolution;
but flu vaccine is often not protective;
what we really need is to discontinue
globalized factory farming of animals
by mandating humane organic farming.
. I summarize the work of
biology Ph.D. Rob Wallace
and others concerned with the way
factory farming promotes disease.

single women live longer than married? #health #peterprinciple

6.8..9: health/social/
single women live longer than married women?:
. according to Heather Havrilesky
married men live longer than single men;
but single women
live longer than married women.
[the week magazine 5.3; p36].
how can this be?

. perhaps the typical guy who doesn't marry
is a "weekend warrior" prone to
death by poor diet and sleep loss.
(shifting sleep to later on the weekends
is a form of sleep disruption;
as is binge drinking).
. but how are single women living longer
than married women?

all men are wise; no men are wise

6.4: relig/god/all men are wise; no men are wise:
"all men are wise; no men are wise."
these might seem to be opposites:
for all x, p(x);
for all x, not p(x);
but, the negation all x is some x are not:
not (for all x, p(x))
= for at least one x, not p(x));
and, the negation of no x is some x:
not (for all x, not p(x))
= for at least one x, p(x)).
. most would agree that neither is true:
what is true is that
some but not all men are wise.
. however here is how both statements
could be true, when taken together:
wisdom comes from the god;
ie, the prophets are wise;
and the god could make all men prophets;
ie, all men could potentially be wise;
but no man has the power to be wise:
that power comes from the god alone.

#healthcare #fluoride Dr. David Kennedy

. more bad news about fluoride
being a hormone disruptor;
I live in Tucson which doesn't fluoridate,
so my main source has been tea
which is a fluoride accumulator,
and comes mainly from China
where there is a lot of fluoride pollution
from burning coal.
. fluoride is known to affect thyroid
and very high levels of it may reduce
testosterone levels.

. heard Dr. David Kennedy on the radio:
with Martie Whittekin (Healthy By Nature)
[Tucson, AZ, KGMS 940 AM – Sunday 1 pm]
. fluoride is an endocrine disruptor
by affecting g-protein function.
fluoride increases brain aluminum.

why lie about man-made global warming?

5.14..15: pol/gemini/science/climate change/
why lie about man-made global warming?:
. the evidence for global warming being man-made
is said to be weak or even faked;
but why would the establishment want to lie?
I got a new sense of why
after hearing just what a nightmare it will be
if we can't do anything about it.
. why lie about existence of superhuman aliens?
(astronauts say we are suppressing disclosure)
. we lie for morale, to make us feel safe;
if it were true that global warming
is going to happen no matter what we do
then that would make us feel hopeless,
and people who think the end is near
may act as if they have nothing to lose
which could endanger the establishment.
. we need underground cities
to protect us from climate change
but that is some very expensive housing
and we can't afford to help everyone.

radioactive smoke alarm disposal

3.5: web.apt`trash/radioactive smoke alarm disposal:
. ionization (radioactive) smoke detectors
often need to be scrapped after 10 years;
in Arizona's Pima county you can't trash them:
store them in a sealed plastic bag,
or send them to the manufacturer.
. some places allow them to be in landfills
as they are not federally regulated.
. the photoelectric detectors are not radioactive
and can recycled with other circuit boards.
. one popular brand suggests consulting your
fire department about disposal
rather than offering to allow returns.

how could Abraham's ram get trapped in a thicket? the way of the Azazel

3.2: relig/judaism/
how could Abraham's ram get trapped in a thicket? the way of the Azazel:
Genesis 22:13
And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep
fixed by its horns in the brushwood:
and Abraham took the sheep and
made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
[YESHAYAH(Isaiah) 53:8]

. how could a ram get its horn caught in the bushes?
notice the ritual of the scapegoat
in which a goat is pushed over a cliff;
that is how a ram could get its horns
into but not out of a thicket.

consumer reports`safe fish

web.health/diet/fish/consumerreports`safe fish:
19.2.3: sun
consumerreports 2017:
In the new [gov] guidelines, fish are grouped into
"best choices," "good choices," and "fish to avoid,"
based on their mercury levels.
And the agencies set limits for the amount of fish to eat
from the best and good choices groups,
advising 2*4 ... 3*4 ounce servings per week
of the best choices
or one weekly 4-ounce serving of the good choices.
(For children ages 4 to 7, the serving sizes are 2 ounces.)
cr advice:
Lowest-mercury fish:
sardines,
salmon (wild and Alaska, canned or fresh),
oysters, scallops, shrimp, squid, and tilapia.
A 132-pound woman can safely eat up to
36 ounces per week; [5oz per day]
a 44-pound child can safely eat up to 18 ounces. [2.5oz per day]

oysters are good for omega-3? compare:
474mg omega-3 per oz pacific sardine.
414mg omega-3 per oz atlantic sardine.
356mg omega-3 per oz salmon, red, canned, (Alaska Native)
188mg omega-3 per oz oysters.

2.4: summary:
. if you were a user of google plus social media
which is being discontinued
and you wanted to save some of your data
there are several ways,
but the easiest most complete way, Takeout,
may have a problem with its folder structure
that causes some of its html files to have bad links.
. in my case it help moving the subfolders from
google+stream/Photos/Miscellaneous Photos/,
into the folder google+stream/Photos/Photos from posts/.
. it gives you the option to put the takeout
on your google drive, but keep in mind,
if you want to look at the html files
you can't see their images on g'drive;
so you need to download it locally to test the takeout.
