 Conditions are a way of keeping track of your progress in fixing your conditions as you progress through your fasts. After all, that is why we are fasting, whether it be for weight loss or high blood pressure, or in my circumstance, wet macular degeneration.  We need a way to keep track of our progress and a way to visualize that same progress when compared to our fasts and the depth of the GKI (Glucose to Ketone Index) that was reached on those fasts. Then we can tell whether or not what we are doing is working and at what level. There are three forms and three database tables (lists) that need to be done to make it work. Then we can superimpose our progress upon the chart fasting levels. The database tables are done and so is half of the first entry form, that's where you've decided to input a change in your condition and the date of that change. I need to have a way of entering a list of pre-defined conditions that can be selected as the conditions you wish to keep track o...

 Actually,  at first, I was miffed at the ignorance of the clinical side of the medical industry. How could the FDA place a recommended list of addictive foods that are making us fat and sick over the long term. But then I realize that the atmosphere of the clinical side of the medical community is driven by the effects side of diseases and not the causal side. And that isn't their fault.  If a client comes in with high blood pressure, if you're a doctor, you'd best concentrate on which pill you prescribe rather than some long term fix like what you eat or something like autophagy. The Ketogenic diet may prove fat is the best thing to eat but that doesn't fix the problem like right now. A blood pressure pill fixes it now, even though it's fixing the effect and not the cause, it does keep the lawyers from suing. Carbohydrates light up the very same area of the brain and have the very same effect as cocaine.  I once smoked opium by mistake. A friend of mine thought it...

 To really get an idea of your progress in either keto or autophagy fasting, there is a real need to see how you're progressing. The human mind works so much better if you can see, visually, in graph form, or textually, how you're progressing through the changes that your conditions or diseases. So, with that in mind, I've begun the second part of my Autophagy/Keto app, that is, conditions. There are two ways of tracking your progress through any condition. The first is the actual numbers. An example of that is blood pressure. I was averaging through the 140s on the high side. After 18 fasts, I now am in the 130s. I need to do more. Anyway, this progress is easy to follow.   The second type needs a way to see how much you're progressing, percentage wise. For instance, My Wet Macular Degeneration has progressed to the 65% mark. Why? The cysts are gone, at least, I hope they haven't returned when I get my next graphic visualization of the retina in 2 days. Anyway, I s...

 First Keto, Keto, Keto If you're going to jump into water fasting, it's best to be ready with a Keto day before starting. If you're into a Keto diet for a day or two, then you are already into a Ketone level of energy. This way, when you fast, you won't have to spend 2 days spent waiting for your system to start Autophagy, it'll do it almost at the beginning of the fast. Conditions A large part of my path to using my Autophagy Application is to have conditions able to be applied to the fasts. This way, when you've made progress minimizing your conditions, you'll be able to see your progress visually. It helps dramatically to actually see what you've done. I'm doing this for me also. Keto As I've learned that Keto is really a lesser form of Autophagy fasting, it became obvious when I read Dr Annette Bosworth's book 'Any Way You Can', that I need to update my program to insert the Keto diet's progress also. So there's a lot to ...

 Ancel Keys is a large part of the reason why we have this dangerous low fat, American diet. Who knew, eat fat, be healthy. That's the new mantra of the ketogenic diet. And it's been proven a thousand ways now.  Keys did a biased study of 7 countries and because they ate saturated fat and had high heart attack ratios, he surmised it was the cause of heart disease. The American government agreed and put out a misguided food pyramid. The actual cause was the fact that they ate a high level of carbohydrates, which is the reason of most of our diseases. He skipped countries like France, even though they ate large quantities of fat and had some of the lowest heart diseases of any country. What happened is this: We didn't eat a lot of carbohydrates until the agricultural industry bred large fruits and huge quantities of sugar. Drink a soft drink with 13 teaspoons of sugar. Such a large quantity of sugar (glucose) is dumped into your bloodstream and since your bloodstream can only...
