Conditions

 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 of. So I'll create a form for that. The next form will be which of those conditions you wish to keep track of. Those selected conditions will then appear in your entry form and be able to be selected.

Learning the interplay between the language PHP, HTML and JavaScript is at times daunting. It took me 5 days to figure out how to fill the drop-down list in the entry form. It would have taken me 5 minutes in C++ and QT on my desktop computer. So, learning this new environment is really challenging but well worth it. This way, anyone can take advantage of what I'm creating.

So I have, on average, 4 people a day visiting my site. My two granddaughters are the only other members who've joined besides me, of course. So I'm not really the talk of the town yet.

Anyway, I'm progressing.

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...
