eye wear prescription data at home

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

. 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.

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?

/red wine and alcohol:
. red grapes fermented or not
may raise levels of free testosterone (T)
by reducing conversion of T into estrogen;

. alcohol may reduce inflammation for heart,

and it may reduce what is binding T,
but may also convert more T to estrogen,
and might reduce progesterone 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.

"all men are wise; no men are wise."
these might seem to be opposites:

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)).

what is true is that

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.

place your issues into essential vs nice-to-have categories;
computer shows space of group you're in

the larger your group the more votes your rep has;
eg, for every 1000 people in your virtual city,

it is not impossible
that completely random changes
could have produced the evolution.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
A Systematic Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
affects approximately 30% of the US population.
p2266:
high visceral adipose tissue (being obese)
increases pro-inflammatory mediators
and excessive free fatty acids (lipotoxemia)
and insulin resistance;
all that affects the liver:
alterations of glucose and lipid metabolism.
. all that altered metabolism leads to
fatty liver or hepatic steatosis.

2nd stage is steatohepatitis
caused by lipotoxicity from increased free fatty acids
and by inflammation from
obesity releasing pro-inflammatory mediators,
and by intestinal dysbiosis generating portal endotoxin.
. pro-inflammatory mediators and
(endoplasmic reticulum sress
from dysregulated unfolded protein response)
leads to pro-inflammatory signalling
that along with (the vicious circle of
oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction)
causes activation of hepatic stellate cells
and collagen deposition;
that leads to fibrosis
which is a precursor to cirrhosis.

. one symptom of insulin resistance is
acanthosis nigricans
[velvety darkening of the skin.
It is usually found in body folds.]

@walmart tax cut? buy a better checkout system like @sproutsfm

2017: mis.aq/walmart/@walmart tax cut? buy a better checkout system:
. I frequent the Walmart located at
Kolb & Speedway, Tucson, AZ;
in 2017 I started storing a lot of canned food;
often I would bring 12 or more of the same item;
double charged by cashier?
I'll try my luck at self-checkout;
I double charged me too?!
. the display has only 10 lines
and displays each item on a new line,
instead of using just one line
to show you how many times
you entered the same type of item;
so, it's not obvious from looking at the display
whether or not an item scanned
when you have more than 10 of the same item type.
. it would be easier if the new system would tell you
how many times you entered that item
rather than listing each entry separately
(like occurs when using the cashier
and their one-line display
tells you what just got scanned).
. doing that would also save a lot on receipt paper:
instead of 12 lines of canned greens,
there would be one line saying:
12 x canned greens.
-- @sproutsfm has a system like that,
and it is very easy to check for charging errors;
whereas, on the Walmart receipt,
it lists each item on a separate line,
making the receipt difficult to check
for cashier or machine errors.

early #AMD reversal with high-dose fish oil #med #blindness

2.12: med/amd/fisho
2.13: summary:
. AMD is a major source of blindness;
studies show that in its early stages,
it can be reversed with fish oil;
and that a key marker of healing
is there being nearly as much EPA
as the body has of AA;
fish oil supplements vary in EPA;
eg, le caps have 0.35g of EPA;
along with EPA from fish oil,
you also need to lower AA levels:
keep insulin low (avoid grains and sugars);
limit omega-6 oils and most of all
be wary of AA in fatty animal products,
especially eggs and chicken.
if you get all your fish oil from fish meat
you also get some AA along with
dioxins, PCB's and mercury].
. AMD reversal was indicated by
the ability to read more letters
on a chart with increasingly smaller letters:
8 more letters at aa/epa ratio of 2-2.7;
[from perhaps 4 le caps per day]
15 letters at aa/epa ratio of 1.1-1.6
[from perhaps 8-12 le caps].
. the study applied the oil in 2 doses.
. rancid fish oil can do more harm than good
so it's important to pick a brand
that is 3rd-party tested for low rancidity
and also has powerful antioxidants

Exposing Hidden Exploitable Behaviors in Programming Languages
Using Differential Fuzzing:
A differential fuzzing framework was created to detect
dangerous and unusual behaviors in
similar software implementations.
1.16: the paper:
. some Python commands are undocumented because
they are for deprecated functions;
meaning don't use the functions in new code,
but for backward compatiblity we are
keeping the function in place undocumented.
. documentation can be there to warn you
that a function doesn't check its inputs,
so you shouldn't feed it data from an untrusted source.

#Chinese calendar similarities to #Judaism

. and the day starts at midnight not sundown.

menstrual synchrony supports #telepathy

news.psy/parapsy/telepathy/menstrual synchrony:
10.28: 12.9: summary:
. menstrual synchrony refers to
the ability of women who live together
to align their menstrual periods
implying they would have to reset
the duration of their period.
. snopes calls it unproven.
. see list of all the conflicting studies
concerning Menstrual_synchrony.
. one problem with this theory
is that no physical communication
such as human pheromones
have been found to explain it,
thereby leading to the idea
that it involves being influenced by
a collective subconscious,
and if that exists,
it would support the idea of telepathy
which is considered a "bizarre delusion";
ie, there is widespread suppression
of even good telepathy evidence.
[ Rupert Sheldrake`telephone telepathy]
. see Rupert Sheldrake`The Extended Mind.
. the suppression of telepathy evidence
is part of both establishment atheism,
and biblical laws against remote-viewing
and other uses of the collective subcon'mind.
