the question:

“What substantive elements do you think should be included

in a new international instrument

on pandemic preparedness and response?” 

my comment:

. one thing we should do to prepare

is teaching people about who survived the pandemic;

it was people with a diet that promotes

low inflammation, low cortisol, and low insulin,

for enhanced insulin sensitivity.

. and for elders it was high levels of vitamin D, vitamin A,

with vitamin K2 to prevent bone loss from vitamin D,

melatonin, and zinc.

. we don't want a global effort of 

forcing everyone to take risky vaccines,

when we could work to isolate the vulnerable,

while we rapidly build natural immunity,

and get the lock-downs over with sooner!

does copper improve or worsen schizophrenia?

2022.4.10: psy/schiz/diet/copper/
does copper improve or worsen schizophrenia?

summary:

. it was found in 1959 that ceruloplasmin, which carries copper,

could improve psychotic symptoms in many schiz'ics.

. however, it was also found that some measure of copper

is elevated in schiz'ia,

or in any condition causing chronic stress or fear.

. ceruloplasmin is used as a measure of copper

because 95% of blood copper is in ceruloplasmin

but ceruloplasmin is an acute phase reactant, 

increased during inflammation, infection, trauma, pregnancy, etc. 

. some who are assuming that copper is a cause of schiz'ia

are theorizing that ceruloplasmin may be 

catalyzing the oxidation of epinephrine 

to some psychosis-inducing indole-like material.

. but if ceruloplasmin can improve psychotic symptoms,

it is likely that the rises in ceruloplasmin 

are a reaction to the stress of schiz'ia,

and not the cause of it.

the definition of schizophrenia

2022.4.10: psy/schiz/the definition of schizophrenia

summary:

. schizophrenia as defined by psychiatrists

for diagnostic purposes.

. a bizarre delusion is a belief in something

that the dominant theorists consider impossible,

such as telepathy or magical abilities.

use of a bisphosphonate Fosamax (alendronate sodium) vs vitamin k2 (mk-4)

2022.4.6: health/diet/vit'k2/med/osteo/

use of a bisphosphonate Fosamax (alendronate sodium) vs vitamin k2 (mk-4):

summary:

. some studies show that the bisphosphonate 

Fosamax (alendronate sodium)

is not really helpful,and risks might include 

atrial fibrillation, but the evidence is conflicting.

. meanwhile, a study of vitamin k2 (mk-4)

was so effective it was hard to believe!
