 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 but 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 lisosomes 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 on my first day of fasting.  The next day, I did another 5 miles on the Fullerton loop. That sucked my glu...

 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...

 The reason I started fasting wasn't for my weight. It was for my brain.  Robert Burns, my close friend, told me that serotonin started high production in the intestinal track after not eating for 12 hours. So in June 2022, I started 18 hour daily fasts. The next thing,a year later, I started seeing monsters with my left eye. It's from capillaries that form under your retina. Then they leak fluid and that creates cysts under the retina and then everything looks twisted, which makes people look like monsters.  That's when I found out I had wet macular degeneration in my left eye. I started taking anti Veg shots in my left eye and that helped for a while. But it kept getting worse. Honestly, I don't remember what was first, the 18 hour fasts or the twisted faces, the monsters. Being who I am, I went on a campaign of finding a solution. Doctors will tell you that's its inevitable,  you will go blind from WMD. I Found a clinical trial in Finland where 2/3 of the group i...

 Just got done with the new image gallery . This way, you can insert images based on your conditions and you can view the images in rows. Then you can select 2 pictures to compare. This way you can tell if what you're doing with fasting or supplements, is helping the condition by visually seeing a difference. Pierre 

 For the last couple of weeks, I have been experiencing the power of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the AI platform. I consider myself an expert programmer. I have been programming since somewhere around 1981.  Today, I created a table that could be edited that updates my database based on my initial sql query. I can sort any column or delete or add rows and it has my information on my conditions.  So much for that explanation. What hit me like a ton of bricks, was that after instructing Claude to create this database, editable table in a webpage, using HTML, PHP and JavaScript languages,  I decided to see if my instructions could be used with a different language. Java, the computer language, is used by Android phones and Swift is used by Apple's smartphone language. So all I did was change the name of the computer language to Java and then Swift and Claude, using the same instructions, created the program within 15 seconds each.  Nothing will ever be the same for me. I sp...
