3rd-party tested #probiotics

4: web.cook/probiotics/3rd-party tested products:
. probiotics are capsules of live germs;
they are notorious for delivering dead germs .
. is there any 3rd-party testing going on?
. here's truflora with regular 3rd party testing;
others just claims spotchecks by ConsumerLab.com .

USANA® Probiotic
Receives ConsumerLab.com Certification
-- Sixth Stamp Of Approval From Third-Party Testing .

Dr. Mercola Complete Probiotics 
was also listed as tested by ConsumerLab.com
and I'm betting it got a good review .

17: current practice:
. go to your health food store, and try
refrigerated gardenoflife`RAW Probiotics .
. it has a certain variety of germs that will
pull me out of depression,
but they can also overstimulate my thyroid,
causing a bit of anxiety (leave it in your mouth,
and if you have any oral sores (or leaky gut?),
a lot of germs can get to your thyroid gland .
. I use this everyday like it was sunshine;
but I've been sunburned a few times .

 

leaky gut related to #autism #GAPS

2: news.health/probiotics/leaky gut related to autism:
DECEMBER 5, 2013 sciencenews.org:

Leaky intestines and an abnormal mix of gut microbes
may contribute to autism symptoms,
a study of mice suggests.
A skewed mixture of intestinal microbes results in
high levels of certain chemicals,
including one similar to a compound found in
the urine of some children with autism,
researchers report in the Dec. 19 Cell.
Mice with autism-like behaviors
also have leaky intestines,
which allow the chemicals to
build up in the animals' blood, the team found.
Giving the mice beneficial bacteria
reduced gut leakiness
and improved some abnormal behaviors,
suggesting that some children with autism
might benefit from probiotic treatments.

Google "sick monkeys" + Autism
[ http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/05 ]
to learn about vaccine overload research.
When the same kind of monkeys that are used to test
individual vaccines
are given all of them the way we do our kids
they develop the same kind of
social difficulties & painful gut problems.

Israel advances desalination

11: pol/desalination/Israel advances desalination:
desalination can be mainstreamed:

. Israel desalinizes water for a cost of
53 cents per cubic meter;
desalinizing 1,000 US gallons (3,800 L) of water
can cost as little as $3 .
. modern technologies, such as
the Seawater Greenhouse,
use solar energy to desalinate seawater
for agriculture and drinking uses
in an extremely cost-effective manner.

alternet 2010:

. by 2014, Israel's desalination plants
might provide 33% of their drinking water.
. reverse osmosis technology
is used by the Hadera plant
(the world's largest using such technology);
it does not involve heating the sea water .

High-Gristle Diet

10: health/High-Gristle Diet:
. I was reading on page 93 of Harley's Monroe 2013
about the "high-gristle diet".
. you might think think he is kidding,
going from veganism to "sausage",
but there is some science behind it .
. sausage and hotdogs are given as
typical sources of gristle;
but, the ideal convenience product is gelatin .
Dr. Ray Peat points out that gelatin has
a different amino acid profile than meat,
and that the two complement each other .

. if anyone is going to be eating animals,
they need to start with the whole animal,
not just the muscle meat;
say, by adding "5 or 10 grams of gelatin"
to a large meat portion .
. "gelatin is a protein which contains
no tryptophan, and only small amounts
of cysteine, methionine, and histidine.
Using gelatin as a major dietary protein
is an easy way to restrict the amino acids
that are associated with many of the
problems of aging" .

you have 2 choices to make #wwIII #globalization #nationalism #catholicism

10: pol/purges/wwIII/you have 2 choices to make:
. wwIII is obviously going to happen
as usa defends zionists in Israel,
while Russia defends Arab regimes against
being undermined by usa's cia,
which in turn means that Russia is defending "terrorism"
(anti-zionist guerrilla warfare operations
punishing usa and Israel).

. in the bigger picture, the purpose of WWIII
is to decide who will be the global leader
of the modern world:
will it be usa's brand of democracy
and attention to human rights ?
or will it be something from russia
promoting orthodox christian views
as they rally against bible-sex deviants ?

Dr.Mercola's vitamin E

12: web.cook/vit'e/Dr.Mercola's vitamin E:
. this talk from Dr.Mercola about vitamin E
(it's a video speech with matching text)
tells you why his vitamin E is better
(derived from sunflower seed not soy, etc).
. I take it only once a month or so,
when my fishoil contains imbalanced vit'e
( alpha instead of mixed with gamma ).
. here's the same mercola with a different view:
rather than selling you on supplements,
he's reminding you that vitamin e
like most other nutrients except trace minerals
is best obtained from food not supplements .
. given the amount of greens you should eat,
greens provide plenty of vitamin e .

universal calendar #5777 idealized lunation

1.5: summary:
. part of my logging routine involves
copying a template of month folders
that contain files for each annual date:
each file in a month folder
starts with a date and some event's name,
such as: sched/12 dec/25 christmas.txt .
. ever since hearing about the prophesies of
Hebrew year 5777 (2016.fall ... 2017.fall)
I have been interested in Jewish and Islamic events;
so, I was looking for a way to add them
to my year's logging template .
. the jewish calendar is lunisolar,
and the islamic calendar is lunar,
so while their events are on
a particular monthly date,
their months are shifting around
within the calendar that modernity uses,
therefore,
I devised an idealized lunation system,
that assigns their months to particular days,
aligned with the equinoxes of the year 5777 .
. also, there are many usa calendar events
that are shifting their date annually
because they are defined as being on
something like the 1st monday of a month;
so, in order to fix a date for these,
I had to choose a particular year,
and, again, the year I chose was 5777 .
  

my new year's resolution

8: adds/doc'ing/my new year's resolution:

Lean In / Fall Down ART OF HUSTLE":
Alanna Coby: Word! Particularly relevant to women artists.
http://www.artofhustle.com/2014/01/lean-in-fall-down/
RC:

In contrast to the article, though,
I feel the advice I've gotten from
writing teachers over the years has been,
"Just write. Make time for it.
Don't wait for the ever-elusive 'inspiration'
because a working writer can't afford it.
Send out your writing and expect mostly rejection.
But keep sending it out."

. I made a new year's resolution
that is similar to that advice;
instead of being too cautious about
when it's time to do some blogging,
I will try to push myself to finish pieces sooner,
and get them posted within days of producing them,
rather than at the end of the month or year .
