2019.8.26: health/diet/selenium/mercury-binding losses:
2020.1.7: summary:
. selenium (se) is an essential mineral
but it binds to mercury,
and there is a lot of mercury in some foods
especially since the industrial age,
(and some fillings release mercury;
and some flu vaccines may contain mercury).
so some may need more se than others,
ie, you may need more than is recommended.
. some lakes are low in se,
but the ocean has plenty of it,
so most ocean fish have more se than mercury,
however, even if ocean fish are not a
mercury hazard, they still have carcinogenic
endocrine disruptors such as PCB, and dioxins.
. in addition to using sardines for se,
(also omega-3 oils, and plenty of minerals)
I get se from Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine
since it may have additional benefits
before being degraded into elemental selenium
that can bind mercury and be used in proteins.

Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine
19.12.31: health/diet/histidine/
Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine:
. I'm getting most of my protein from sardines
and Zen Principle Marine Collagen Peptides
from the skins of wild caught cod fish.
(precious cysteine comes from raw egg yolk).
. I was noticing from the price of histidine
that they could make a lot more profits if they could
extract the histidine and sell that separately.
. my source claims on the package
that each 10g of powder contains 230mg histidine;
also, I found an amino acid researcher
who claims that fermentation --not extraction--
is the usual source of histidine.

least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search

least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search:
. google is an important search engine
being my only access to some finds;
but the Microsoft Rewards program
gives you amazon cash for searching with Bing.com;
so I set my browser's default search engine to bing,
and keep google in my bookmarks bar for quick access.
. during days of research or reading news online,
I have hundreds of simple questions that bing is good at,
such as word definitions and spellings,
along with most of my questions about
health, politics, and religion.
. there is a limit of 150 points per day;
at 5 points per search, that is 30 searches.
more about earning points.
. in 2020 I get $10 for 10,500 points (70 days);
practically, I earned about $20 in 1.5 years.

usefulness and availability of various forms of #ginger #health #diet
2019.12.28: health/diet/ginger/
usefulness and availability of various forms of ginger:
2020: summary:
. Dr.Sears and others who promote
ginger as an anti-inflammatory,
suggest you should use only the fresh root
whereas the cheapest is dried root.
. people who are buying fresh ginger online
warn it can easily get moldy in storage;
so, it may be safer to buy only in store.
. I would like to find frozen cubed ginger;
but I found research that shows
powdered ginger does offer some benefits;
and, certain high-heat ginger extracts
may have more benefits than fresh.

#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.

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.

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.
