User logins

 Mywaterfasts.com

So I'm working on user logins. This one is a lot more complicated than just keeping records inserted using forms.  

The idea is to keep track of user interaction with all the glucose/Ketone tests and all the disease conditions that happen with the progression of human aging. 

The autophagy program needs to filter and combine all the different aspects of the progression of water fasts and the levels of disease removal.

For that to happen properly,  a user's password needs a good level of protection and so does the security of the user in the database.

There are 3 things to handle when creating and maintaining a user profile.  The first is properly creating a new user. The second is logging the user with proper authentication.  The third is resetting the password if the user forgets their password. 

1. Creating the new user. 

Whether the new user uses a made up name or his/her own, an email must be entered. So it makes senses that the user ID would be their email. Then, when user creation is attempted,  the system demands that the new user enter a code that was created randomly and sent to that email. If their email exists and they receive the code, then when they type the new code in, they are entered into the system and now have access to the application. 

The new password is now entered into the database using the Sha512 encryption system. I cannot see the password unless I save the password unencrypted. That would be rather foolish of me so there is no way I would save it unencrypted. 

2. Logging in 

When the user logs in, the password is reencrypted, if it matches the database, then they are logged in. That way, even if the database is stolen, the user's password is protected. I dont even know what it is.

3. The user forgets their password.  There, I do the same as a new user and send a code to their email and if the code sent matches what they type in, I'll give them the opportunity to reenter a new password.

Statistics of fasts

I have the graphs working on the extended fasts. All is pretty much good and well to a point. I want to superimpose the condition(s) above the fast times. Bear in mind that what appears complex in this note, the complexity of the program, itself, is at least 30 times more complex. To compare the fasting times to the condition times, for instance, I want to see when I'm losing weight compared to the fasts. Weight is the example here. What is done here will work with the thousands of conditions the members may have. That's a bit complex. The condition check may lie outside of the start and end of the fast.  I can't ignore what is outside the fast, especially if no condition tests were done within the fasts themselves. I have to use the last or average of the weights before the fast. Also, if there is weight checks within the fasts, then I'll use an average of those. When you're travelling through arrays of information, there's all kinds of gotchas that'll caus...

Huge update

 I've been reading several books since last month. The Ketogenic Bible,  Dr Fung's book, David Sinclair's book and more. I absorb these ideas on metabolic systems in the body.  The most interesting is understanding the rebuild/repair system of the body. The main idea I've come to understand is that the human system needs to spend more time on the repair side of metabolism. The thing is, we eat without allowing the body to repair.   The repair of Autophagy in all its types really can't function properly with just a few hours of rest from eating. We are built to repair our cells when we don't eat for a few days. To measure the amount of repair taking place I use the GKI index. For that to work I use the blood tests for Ketones and Glucose using inexpensive blood monitors. Read the levels on my site: mywaterfasts.com.  What I've learned is that it took me three days to reach down to 1.5 on the GKI index so that cysts are being repaired. That fixed my right eye...

Condition Graphs

 The entering and saving of the condition system is working. I am now working on the conditions graph that shows up above the fast graph as a line graph. It's a bit complex. Something like, first cut the conditions that exist before and after the selected dates of the fast graphs, then average the numbers between each fast and create the line point at that height. That gives me the ability to see how my progress corelates to the fasts. So, like, if I'm losing weight, I can see how that particular graph affected my weight or blood pressure or inflammation of my joints etc. After that's done, I'll be working on getting the system, as a whole, to accept multiple people. After that, I'll make the system more efficient. Like being able to login in from the front screen and then jump to the main app screen with some message saying I'm logged in. After that, I want to get the totals of the GKI indexes and maybe graph that. There's still a lot to do but I'm prog...
