My Autophagy Blog

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...

 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...

 Wow. What a month of illumination.  How in the hell did the medical industry get into such a rut?  Since I've begun studying metabolism and how autophagy, glucose and ketones affect my everyday life, I'm shocked at how little is being done.  Everybody I know has some kind of disease. Or should I say instead that everybody I know has a lot of diseases. And to top it all off, I now know why.  It's what we eat. It's all glucose, or that is, carbs. Fat is our friend here and we've been propograndised to believe that eating fat is bad.  Carbohydrates are not good for our body. They clog up your brain, your arteries and your cells. I had to find a way to keep from going blind and what I found angered me. Fat does not convert to fat in your system.  It goes to the liver, which converts it to ketones and ketones feed your cells the way they should be fed. Simple-mindedness doesn't work here. Fat doesn't go into fat in our bodies. Carbohydrates conver to gluco...

 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 ...
