Why do humans ignore truth when it presents itself so readily? I see so many humans ignore the very thing that will give them a full healthy physical and mental life. I can say that cognitive dissonance is the reason and that humans put blinders on just like horses. But that's not the whole story. There is a kind of mistrust that presents itself because so many humans will take advantage of each other to reach a better level of survival. Truly, this is the blind leading the blind.  Why? Wealth and the act of augmentation of survival only leads to great personal loss if these two are placed above truth, beauty and goodness. In my search to understand metabolism and the various poisons, like sugar, that we ingest, i find enormous resistance to the truth.  For a while I believed that genetics was the reason but nope. If genetics is the computer, epigenetics is the keyboard that can manipulate whether those genetics are expressed. We can't control all our genetic programming but a...

So what happens when you eat food that converts into glucose. Your cells have receptor sites and as long as you are not insulin resistant, those receptor sites are fully open to glucose. If you are insulin resistant because you overeat carbs, then you need MORE insulin to FORCE those receptor sites to open. Duh, cells are smart.  Here's how it works: Glucose drops into your bloodstream. Then it is absorbed by the Mitochondria, the power houses of your cells. The thing is, Mitochondria will only fill up anywhere from 5% to 15% per hour of their stores, with that glucose. If you don't work out, it's 5%. If you're an athlete, it's 15%. Depending on the amount you work out will depend on the absorption rate. So, what happens to that extra glucose that doesn't get absorbed by your Mitochondria? It heads to your fat cells. The fat cells can only absorb glucose at a certain speed. So, what happens to the extra glucose that can't get into your fat cells? It gets dum...

 Yeah. It happens.  I'm 73. Biologically, I'm 67. My wife of 54 years has dementia and I gotta tell ya, it's disheartening. Sometimes,  just getting her out of her chair or out of her bed, is wracked full of fear, for her, and extremely frustrating for me. The pain she experiences from her knees and back causes her to writhe as she shuffles with each step. Yet if she doesnt move, she'll develop sores. Yet, when she is seated, even with her lack of logic and reasoning, she's still the most loving, sweetest person i have ever met. I'm not exaggerating.  She's 91 and her heart won't take the shock of fasting. I married a woman that's 18 years older than me. I was 19 and she was 37. I just wished that I'd known about autophagy 20 or 30 years ago, I could have stopped all this from happening. There is no doubt in my mind that the medical and food industries are to blame for her misery. Yet, I understand. It's not really their fault If a person com...

 So today I'm ending a 3 1/2 day water fast. I usually do 4 days but i can end this early. The whole idea, for me is to fix various conditions my body accumulated over 73 years of life. For me, mainly my eye problems and also arthritis and many others. To fix these, I have to stay below 1.5 on the GKI index for 24 hours. That's my goal on every fast , so on my third day, at 10 am, I dropped below 1.5. So today at 10, I can eat again. My website explains GKI. Mywaterfasts.com.  The idea on a fast is to starve the cells enough to wake up the lysosomes in my cells. They're little stomachs that magically appear to remove old broken cells and organelles inside cells. They're the ones that kill virus and bacteria when you're sick. So I cut 1/2 day off my fast by rapidly using up my stored glucose. I did that by taking the 10 1/2 mile bicycle ride on the Back Bay Loop in Newport Beach, on my first day of fasting.  The next day, I did another 5 miles on the Fullerton loop. ...

 Done, done, done. Here's the way it works  Let's say you want to look at a sagging arm's skin.  So when you save them under the sagging skin condition, the pictures you upload will actually be saved in the machine you're using.Then, if you switch to a different machine, you save/export to a file. This file can be then be used to add the pictures to any other machine.  That way you can compare pictures on any other machine, you just import them in.  The drawback is this: when you import you'll need to make sure you've exported your latest pictures because the import replaces everything. Anyway, it works. A bit cumbersome, but it does allow multiple machines and I won't run out of room on my server. As a side note, Claude 3.5 Sonnet wrote the software. I had no idea how to manipulate an indexedDB database in a browser's local storage. And to top it off, importing and exporting from that local store. Yet, if you don't understand how to finesse an AI, i...

 Dealing with images is a complicated set of circumstances. First, if I'm going to keep track of all my different condition pictures, it can overwhelm my web hosting server pretty quickly. Just me, no problem, but, add a few people to the mix and it starts taking significant amounts of room. To deal with all those images, i needed to pull out my deep thinking cap. So here is the way I'll do it.  There is a way for me to store information on a user's machine. It's called indexedDB. The problem is this, it has to be extremely secure, so the way an internet browser deals with it, is that it saves information locally but is only accessible from that browser and that website. Different browser, different data repository. So... how to deal with such diversity, especially considering that the user has multiple machines. The only way I can see them being able to access thir images is to use deep Synchronization techniques. So, first, if they are on their smartphones, then let t...
