i believe it is entirely possible that in times of poor health or when exposed to toxins or nutritional deficiencies, humans produce harmful dna/rna fragments (which we call viruses) we then shed these fragments from our mucosal surfaces (nose/mouth) and pass them to others where they are taken in and cause illness (and call this viral contagion) this model sits between the "no virus" theory and the standard virology model I began to formulate this thesis after reading about people "getting viruses while in space" after being quarantined and healthy prior to leaving earth. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joann-Silverstein/publication/300683635_Pathogenic_Viruses_in_Space_Indicators_and_Risks_in_Closed_Space_Environments/links/571fa5d308aed056fa235422/Pathogenic-Viruses-in-Space-Indicators-and-Risks-in-Closed-Space-Environments.pdf

when evaluating a medical intervention, especially a preventative intervention like mammograms or colonoscopy, or a long term medicine like statins, the only outcome that matters is "all cause mortality" if you do something and it decreases a specific event but causes an unintended consequence, you will see that in "all cause mortality" very few medical interventions decrease all cause mortality

this is how you get a blue zone

Optimal range is 2-5 mIU/L

if you ask your kids to put in the effort to learn and do so with enthusiasm, it is best to lead by example. show them how you are also learning a new skill, practicing to get better at something, and putting in hard work and determination to improve yourself.

i'm pretty sure that there are a lot of volatile organic compounds that come out of asics operating at moderate to high temperatures. may not be very good to consume

summary of seed oil research Minnesota Coronary Experiment (MCE, 1968-1973): - RCT with 9,057 participants (mostly men in mental hospitals and nursing homes). Compared a diet high in saturated fats (control) vs. one replacing them with corn oil (high in linoleic acid, a PUFA). Results (from 2016 reanalysis): - Lowering cholesterol via seed oils did not reduce CVD events or death. - Increased mortality in the seed oil group, especially for those over 65. - For every 30 mg/dL cholesterol reduction, there was a 22% higher risk of death. Sydney Diet Heart Study (SDHS, 1966-1973): - RCT with 458 men (aged 30-59) with recent coronary events. Control group ate usual diet; intervention group replaced saturated fats with safflower oil and margarine (high in omega-6 PUFAs). - Results (from 2013 reanalysis): - 60% increased risk of death from all causes in the seed oil group. - 70% increased risk of CVD death and coronary heart disease death. - No benefit despite cholesterol reduction. Rose Corn Oil Trial (1965) - Small RCT with 54 patients (mostly with angina or prior heart attacks). Compared olive oil, corn oil (high PUFA), or control diets over 2 years. - Results: - Corn oil group had the worst outcomes: 5 deaths and 11 total CVD events. - Olive oil: 3 deaths and 7 events. - Control: 2 deaths and 5 events. - Corn oil increased risk of cardiac events and death. Los Angeles Veterans Administration Study (LA Veterans Study, 1959-1967): -RCT with 846 men (average age 65) in a veterans' home. Control diet vs. experimental diet replacing saturated fats with seed oils (corn, soybean, safflower, cottonseed oils). Results: - Reduced heart attacks and strokes in the seed oil group. - But increased cancer deaths (31 vs. 17 in control). - Overall mortality was similar between groups. - In a subgroup over age 65, seed oil group had higher all-cause mortality. Oslo Diet-Heart Study (1966) -Secondary prevention RCT with 412 men post-heart attack. Control vs. diet high in soybean oil (PUFA) plus other changes (more fish, less sugar). -Results: - Reduced recurrent heart attacks in the intervention group. - But the diet included multiple changes, not just seed oils. - No significant difference in overall mortality.

when you read a book or talking to a friend, you are thinking non-linearly. You remember the beginning of the book or conversation while trying to think about what might happen next in the context of the current page. when you scroll posts and images everything is linear and disconnected from prior events. your brain's context window is only a few seconds when scrolling.

"In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day... until now." https://www.aninconvenientstudy.com/

don't take high dose vitamin C vitamin c is oxidized in your body and leaves behind ascorbyl radicals which can then be reduced but only by oxidizing something else. Just eat some organ meat and drink some hydrogen water.

it was on netflix called "liver king"

just got around to watching the liver king documentary. he was right about a lot. its such a shame that his message is now attached to his personality and lies.
