#arginine complemented by #weightlifting #geriatrics #insomnia

22: sci.health/geriatrics/insomnia
/#arginine complemented by #weightlifting:
. from the book Life Extension, I learned that
using arginine and peak resistance exercise
just before 2+ hours of sleep
could promote the growth hormone
that makes sleep productive .
[27: caveat: Arginine is not always safe:
Don't take L-arginine if you have had
a recent heart attack.
. have optimal antioxidant protection:
get dark leafy greens and exercise .
]
. I also found that arginine promotes sleep;
in fact when I was younger and had trouble sleeping
(due mostly to excessive stimulant use)
3..9 tsp of arginine would help out;
but now that I'm over age 50,
I get a different response:
. if I take it before bed without exercising
I become antsy and nauseous
until I do some peak resistance exercise,
such as pushups, jumping squats,
or isotonics which I can do in bed:
have one hand hold the other
as one arm pushes and the other pulls,
so that there is movement in the coupled hands
but there is also a lot of resistance in arms .
. if I didn't sleep well or woke up too early,
I can count on arginine and 9mg melatonin
to get a 2nd round of sleep
( usually I take 3mg melatonin ).

effect of food irradiation

22: news.health/effect of food irradiation:
23: summary:
. cooking causes much more peroxidation of oils
than keeping the food refrigerated raw,
but pureeing food with high-potency spices
can do much to maintain freshness .
. radiation of food is not very damaging
compared to cooking it;
however, radiation does do minor damage to oils;
therefore,
the retail outlets should keep food raw,
and then the consumer should do the irradiation
as that is preferred to cooking it ?
. does it also kill pork and fish worms?

the symbolism of quick-cooked meat

6: psy/the symbolism of quick-cooked meat:
. quick-cooked meat is burnt on the outside,
but still raw on the inside,
and could be a vector of parasites or pathogens .
. this is similar to born-again* syndrome
where someone has been raised by whims
and then at the last moment saw the light
and quickly adopted a culture
that others trained years for
leaving reflexes that are still untamed,
so there is a problem of serving 2 masters:
the born-again wants to be nice,
but in a world of telepathy,
it's not enough to hide rude thoughts;
rather, to really have a nice meet,
we need to be enculturated much earlier
so that diplomacy is subconscious,
not pairs of infantile thoughts
being revised by parenting thoughts .
. even with good intentions,
those who are quick-cooked may find
they have a lot of rough edges
that make them difficult to be around .
19:
. if someone serves you quick-cooked meat,
and you get worms in your brain;
you might want to ask yourself:
where has that brain really been? ;) .

#cancer treatment #fda obstruction #antineoplastons

7: news.pol/healthcare/#cancer treatment #antineoplastons #fda obstruction:
anh-usa.org:
Dr. Burzynski is perhaps best-known for
his discovery and development of antineoplastons,
which are peptides and amino acid derivates
that activate tumor suppressing-genes.
Antineoplastons have also been proven to be
an effective cancer treatment
via independent research by Japan's Dr. Hidaeki Tsuda
of the Kurume University Hospital.
Until the 1990s,
Dr. Burzynski used antineoplastons,
sometimes in conjunction with traditional oncology agents,
to treat and cure cancer patients.
Over the past several decades,
the conventional medical establishment,
via a succession of relentless attacks,
has slowly choked off patient access to antineoplastons.
After 1998, and at the insistence of the FDA,
treatment with antineoplastons was limited to
patients in registered FDA trials.
isn't this available somewhere else?
usa is such a he'll-hole of patents and obstruction .
. petition the FDA .

#emp threat is preventable

5: co.fb/pol/energy/emp threat is preventable:
politico:
. EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack
can happen from a 150-yearly solar flare
not just nuclear terrorism
and it can send us to the stone age
by destroying our electrical grid's transformers
which take months or years to replace .
. there is a way to harden our grid
just as Canada has done,
but so far the usa is too cheap .
. we are due for a solar EMP attack,
and when that happens,
only the military will have electricity,
communications, and computing power .
 Mr.Bartlett spent 20 years as a congressman;
Now he's prepping for doomsday.
-- nice to see someone who should know
telling us what we should know:
emp is no joke .

that formed religions and theories of god .

#christian #meatless means less of warm-blooded

4: web.relig/christian/meatless means less of warm-blooded:
. according to historical records,
Jesus sacrificed his warm blood on a Friday .
. as early as the first century,
People have written of fasting on Friday
to commemorate this sacrifice .
. Technically, what's off limits on Friday
is the flesh of warm-blooded animals
explains Prof. Michael Foley, author of
Why Do Catholics Eat Fish On Friday?
. Fish and reptiles are coldblooded,
so Christians can eat them on Friday
even when they can't eat mammal meat .

nut trees for desert (not mac's) #xeriscape

4: web.apt`xeriscape/nut trees for desert (not mac's):
17: summary:
. I'm looking to grow cooking oil in the desert;
the healthiest is the mac nut (macadamia).
. avocados are heavy in palmitic fat;
and other nuts have a bit too much omega-6 .
. olives are difficult to process,
brazil nut fat is good only for selenium,
(the anti-cancer cysteine-bound form),
better to get that from brocolli and onions .
. so, what can I grow in the desert,
around Tucson AZ -- zone 12 ?
