. one can get a cleaner toilet wipe by adding alcohol to the paper.
. alcohol may raise the risk of cancer,
but there may be less risk with salicylates added,
hence the use of alcohol with methyl salicylate.
. is it safe to rub methyl salicylate on mucous membranes?
it is absorbed even through skin where it supposed to be used,
and is added to food as a flavoring.

emotion control with Dialectical Behavior Therapy:
psychiatry prof Maria Clarke 2022
DBT skills workbook in 7 weeks:
Use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to overcome negativity,
manage your emotions and improve your relationships.
. prof Clarke successfully treated her own emotional pain
with a program designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder.
. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (finding the middle ground)
is based on cognitive behavioral therapy
and dhamma, the teachings of Bhudda.
. it involves meditation, controlled breathing, journaling,
exposure to intense exercise, temperature extremes,
and alternating between tensing and relaxing each muscle group.
. there are many techniques for negotiating with
your emotion maker and other relationships;
eg, part of self-respect is not relating to those who
require us to change our values or lie about them:
"it's ok to walk away from a toxic relationship".

. with expanded vouchers, the newer public schools

for promotion of gun-resistant and mind-liberating
homeschooling.

David Leonard 2022`Good Lord:
. David Leonard's 2022 song, "Good Lord"
could have been about schizophrenia
(about telepathy with our god).
. he is glad to know the god;
but deeply embarrassed about what he has been;
and wishing he could warn others:
the god is easiest on those who have been
good all the time,
not just good after meeting the god.

bone and muscle boosters:
. one of the best things you can do for bones
is getting vitamin k2 to keep the calcium
from being pulled out of bones by vitamin D.
Vitamin K2 doses need to much higher than vitamin K1 doses,
and I found only one supplement that provides a dose
proven effective in studies:
Life Extension Mega Vitamin k2, 45,000 micrograms of the mk4 form of K2.
2022.7.2: web.gear/bike/flat-free tires:
. solid tires are slower with
a much higher resistance to rolling
because they don't conform to bumps,
but I have felt such a sense of security
knowing that my commute to work
will not be slowed by a flat repair,
which can get messy and complicated,
not sure to succeed.
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of amerityre
https://amerityre.com/our-flat-free-products/flat-free-bicycle-tires/
but they have made some design changes
since the tires I've tried.
. a folding bike I'm considering
comes with:
Muffin® Airless tires installed/$149
http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp?product_category_id=1&product_id=1
. another great choice is Tannus.

the unexpected hazards of being a statistic:
. there was a problem with exploding air bags that killed people
but they didn't have them disarmed until replacement
because statistically, if they did disarm the air bag
there would be more people dying from accidents
than there would be deaths from air bag explosions
because seat belts alone are far deadlier than
seat belts with air bags.
. but those statistics just show the cost to society;
what about the cost to my family
when they know I may never have died from an accident
but I did die from an air bag explosion?
2022.6.20: news.health/diet/ergothioneine/regenerative farming for mycelium:
summary:
. regenerative farming means not tilling the soil;
not tilling preserves the fungal biomass of the top soil;
fungal biomass is our primary source of ergothioneine,
an amino acid related to histidine,
which is taken up by the plants we grow in fungal soil,
and then taken up by the animals that eat those plants.
. ergothioneine may be reducing our risk of Alzheimer's,
possibly by protecting mitochondrial function.
. the beef from a regenerative farm also had
a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6.
22.6.6: web.psy/cis-gender/are you calling me a cis?:
. cis-gender people identify as
the same gender they were assigned at birth,
while transgender people identify as
a gender different from that assigned at birth.
[Canadian Med Assoc J JUNE 6, 2022]
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-06-transgender-sexual-minority-teens-high.html
. I wondered if that terminology was meant to
make straight people ask rhetorically:
"are you calling me a cis?"
but the source of that term actually comes from
their latin definitions.
. there may be trans-nationals
but there are no cis-nationals;
so why should there be cis-genders?
. some confusion comes because
trans- has 2 meanings in Latin:
you can have a transnational corporation
because trans- can mean "beyond",
so a transnational is beyond national borders;
but you can also have a trans-gender,
because trans- also means "on the other side".
. trans-gender can mean "beyond gender"
if you are choosing to appear asexual or ambiguous,
but conventionally it means moving across genders,
going from one to the other.

lowering vegf helps amd? several herbs lower vegf:
summary:
. several methods of cancer treatment
are anti-angiogenic: they work by
stopping new blood vessel growth.
. one thing that cancers and amd blindness
have in common, is excess production of vegf
(vascular endothelial growth factor)
that causes the rapid growth of blood vessels
that tend to be leaky and result in edema.
. for wet amd (age-related macular degeneration
with high vegf that results in leaks and edema)
the only anti-vegf treatments have been injections
that are very expensive and can be painful.
. several herb are known to lower vegf,
and I wondered if taking them orally
could lower vegf in the eye.
