there's a review here and, again, it's what i would have told you two months ago, but...

what i'm going to do is set reasonable bounds and try to avoid some of the worst ones. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7600777/

and, i'm going to add oxalates, phytic acid and a few other things to the bottom of the list along with the nitrates.

so, i'll need to figure that out when i get there. for now, i don't want to get bogged down in this....

the spinach has been replaced with the kale in the chart, but i'll need to eat through the spinach before that gets fixed, and...

gah. let me add up potassium.

so,

water - 1.0075 mg

eggs - 419.4 mg

cheese - 60 mg

margarine - ?

bread - 200 mg

yeast - 213.75 mg

garlic - 12 mg

grapefruit juice - 180 mg

apple juice - 250 mg

=======================

1.0075 + 419.4 + 60 + 200 + 213.75 + 180 + 250 = 1324.1575

kale - 67 mg

red peppers - 210 mg

tomatoes - 216 mg

soy milk - 270 mg

hemp seeds - 110 mg

paprika - 398 mg

oregano - 150 mg

===========================

67 + 210 + 216 + 270 + 110 + 398 + 150 = 1421 mg

(1324 + 1421)/4700 = 58 > 40

so, there's minimal concern about potassium, after all.

that means i ought to focus on quinoa, which i was considering looking at anyways. quinoa blows all of these away for betaine, is gluten-free and has more protein than wheat. so, i'm going to add quinoa to the chart.

as mentioned repeatedly, i don't think i have celiac disease, but replacing the all bran with quinoa is one way out of it if it turns out i do, after i've done all of the tests.

for now, i'll eat the spinach separately, maybe even when i'm making the salad.

yeah.

if you sort through this, you'll see just how much of a difference there really is in oxalates. it's not some minor difference; spinach is off the chart. even a little bit is likely to block minerals, and you just don't get much iron from it.

https://globalrph.com/medcalcs/oxalate-content-calculator/

the actual reason i bought the spinach was for the betaine & the k, as the eggs were low on both; i took the lutein as a bonus. that's not going to work out - a comparable amount of kale is better for the last two, and i'm better off sticking with the beets, just less, for the betaine, considering i'm likely going to need the potassium, anyways.

but, the other way to get betaine is via quinoa. let me look into that more seriously.

that said, i should point out that i understand that the purpose of the nature article is to argue that oxalates reduce the absorption of calcium, zinc and magnesium, while the primary problem with iron absorption is calcium.

i'm just a little uncomfortable introducing that many oxalates, altogether.

so, spinach is out and kale is in and i'm probably putting beets back in, too.

but, kale has I3C and spinach doesn't...

back in september of last year, i did some research into this and came to the following conclusions:

====

ok, so what's my final take on the I3C-destroying-estrogen-fiasco?

1) i was going to microwave my broccoli anyways, because this article suggests that it increases the amount of vitamins e & a:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6049644/
2) according to this article, microwaving will remove most of the estrogen-destroying precursors:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2722699/
3) this study, which is too vague to be useful, suggests that they initially didn't observe an increase in blood serum levels until they "adjusted" for it. they don't even indicate dosages. i think we may have found something pushed by the broccoli industry!
https://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/9/8/773
4) going back to the original source,

i) there are ~ 30 mg of total glucosinolates in a half cup of chopped raw brocolli florets, which is about 40g
ii) <15% of that, 4.5 mg, is the precursor i'm worried about
iii) microwaving it should cut that by half, to around 2 mg
iv) there will be some loss in conversion to I3C
v) that itself needs to be converted to DIM
vi) so, i'm looking at, what? 1 mg? less?

Peak plasma concentration of DIM following ingestion of 400 mg I3C was 61 ng/mL

if we're looking at roughly linear changes in concentration, which is reasonable, then peak plasma concentration after 2 mg of consumption would be 0.3 ng/ml.

further, that appears likely to be cleared within an hour or two.

so, i'm clearing broccoli for minimal use...which i'm interested in for the a and the e and the not this stuff....

kale seems to have about twice as much as this stuff as broccoli, and if i don't need the extra vitamins, i may step back from it, except to ask what effect it has on testosterone. which is the next thing to figure out....

so, again: this chemical may be useful in fighting cancer if you take it as a supplement in high dosages (upwards of a gram/day), and if you're a transgendered person that finds themselves with a cancer caused by estrogen then you may be forced to detransition or die and this chemical is likely going to accelerate that detransition if you have to take it, but it doesn't appear to occur in food in sufficient dosages to worry about, or to have much of a cancer-fighting effect, either.

In men, too much estrogen builds up in three common situations: obesity, excessive alcohol use, and smoking. This occurs because chronic inflammation, which is associated with these conditions, increases the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. Since estrogen causes the liver to produce more of the carrier protein for testosterone, which is known as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), less free, or unbound, testosterone results. Low levels of free testosterone and higher estrogen levels in men are associated with excess body fat, reduced sex drive, depression, and erectile dysfunction. 

Since only free testosterone easily crosses into the brain, muscles and fat cells, much of the desirable action of testosterone has to do with the free portion. Free testosterone represents only a tiny amount of the total testosterone, equal to only 2 percent of the total in men and even less in women. 

DIM is able to support free testosterone without changing total testosterone levels; it does not raise testosterone levels but supports its activity through its effects on estrogen metabolism. This helps to maintain a healthy level of free, active testosterone. 

https://fortwaynephysicalmedicine.com/blog/the-benefits-of-dim

so, for me, that means kale is fine, too, especially if i can get my testicles removed, quickly; it may "liberate" free testosterone, but (1) i don't hardly have any of that, due to the t-blockers, (2) the concentration i'm getting from the food is very, very low and (3) it won't undo the effects of the t-blockers or stimulate more testosterone production.

good.

in the end, i'll probably pick one or the other depending on availability and price.

right now, i gotta eat to get around the idiot upstairs. and, i may pass out, again. fuck.

one thing i could do, though, if i'm worried specifically about oxalates in the salad bowl, is to add kale instead of spinach. kale is actually much higher in lutein, much lower in oxalates and a little higher in k. if i end up keeping a smaller amount of beet for potassium and tooth function, i could recover some betaine that way.

for now, i have some spinach to eat up...

let me add up the potassium numbers first and see where i'm at.

see, i would have said this was a myth two months ago, but what's going on, then? there really aren't any other answers. i'm clearly having massive absorption problems, and it seems to be relegated strictly to iron.

so, i don't think it's just the interaction - but i'm starting to think that some minority of the population may have absorption issues due an underlying genetic basis, and the interactions are a complicating factor of it.

https://www.nature.com/articles/1602721

let's wait for the next batch of results before i flip out.

but, this spinach is super high in oxalates - about 5x as much as in the beets. so, if we're moving to spinach for lutein & betaine, i'll have to make sure i'm getting enough calcium independently. and, it may not make sense to try to load the salad up with spices for iron.

i'm going to need to check everything again, once this stabilizes.

it's going to take months to try to figure this out, and i'm not sure i really want to.

i'm probably just going to end up on iron pills. that's fine.

there's a molybdenum urine test i'll push for next time.

he asked me to spell it for him.

listen - it's the division of labour. i'm not being an asshole, here - i'm listening to what he's saying and processing it carefully. i'm asking him questions. i'm seeking his advice.

but, he knows what he was taught - he's not an oracle. and, he was taught to know a limited amount of things.

i'm just being the dour realist i always am. sorry.

zinc - 12.2. normal.

lead - < 0.1. negative.

h. pylori - negative. this is a bacteria that can interfere with iron absorption.

haptoglobin - 1.48. this is in the exact middle of the range. combined with lowish reticulocytes, this points strongly to a production issue rather than a loss issue.

hepcidin - not available. this is the hormone test to determine a genetic condition that blocks absorption.

he is suggesting that i need to go off the iron pills for two weeks to do a poop test, and i'm not there yet - i want to get my ferritin up to normal levels, first. another month, probably. while it seems to be highly unlikely, i can't rule out bleeding entirely until we do the poop test, and i may need to do two of them to check for stomach issues and for colon issues. i'd rather do that than do a scope - or, at least, i'd rather do that first than do a scope.

the doctor is pushing a scope, to rule it out, and i understand where he's coming from, but i'd rather try and rule out bleeding using less invasive procedures, first. i really think that the chances that i'm bleeding are very unlikely. but, i'll work that out with the gastric specialist, who i am now going to send a fax to. i mean, he's a doctor, so he knows things about disease that i don't, but i'm a logician and i have more trust in my ability to produce a syllogism out of the data. cancer does not add up, here. i mean, i'm even gaining weight, recently.

rather, i'm entirely certain that all of these tests strongly point to a reduced ability to absorb iron in the diet, but not in pill form. and the serious question left to figure out is if it's being blocked by something in my diet or if it's a genetic deficiency being overpowered by the sheer amount in the pills. while the data with my father suggests a genetic deficiency, the fact that the pills are working rather spectacularly suggests that the interactions might not be helping.

so, if something is blocking absorption, what could it be?

i think these are the two potential genetic possibilities:

- it could be heightened hepcidin levels, and i'll need to find a lab that will test me for it to find out.

- yes - it could be celiac. but, celiac would tend to block not just iron but also B12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, folate, magnesium and copper, amongst other things. i am absorbing b12, calcium, d, folate, magnesium and zinc - and we're going to check for copper, as well as for b12 a second time. i'm also absorbing the iron in pill form just fine. so, this seems unlikely given that it's just iron. the doctor is pushing a scope, but i need at least two deficiencies before it makes sense to me to do a scope. so, i'm also checking for selenium, iodine, manganese & vitamins a, e and k. if anything else seems amiss, i'll have to relent and either do a scope or a blood test. but, if the only problem is iron, it strikes me as too unlikely to bother with. that said, after we've done all of this, i may put aside some gst money to take the celiac blood test, just to be sure. but, i'm taking the pasta out of the diet anyways (while keeping the cereal, wheat and flax bread), and we'll see if that helps. actually, here's a way for me to do this - next appointment, i'll make a bet with the doctor - i'll put the money down for the celiac test just to be sure, but if i don't have it, he has to pay me back for it. just a little wager...

i'd rather pay the $70 than get scoped.

but i don't have celiac.

what have we got so far, in terms of absorption?

a - pending

b1 - next time

b2 - next time

b3 - next time

b5 - next time

b6 - next time

b7 - next time

b9 - absorbing

b12 - absorbing, but rechecking.

c - next time

d - absorbing

e - pending

cholesterol - perfect

k1 - pending

sodium - absorbing & regulating

potassium - absorbing & regulating

magnesium - absorbing & regulating

phosphorus - absorbing & regulating

chlorine - absorbing & regulating

calcium - absorbing & regulating

chromium - next time

manganese - pending

iron - not absorbing in food, but absorbing in pills

nickel - next time

copper - pending

zinc - absorbing & regulating

selenium - pending

molybdenum - not available

iodine - pending

does that look like celiac to you? it doesn't look like celiac, to me.

- it could be colitis or crohn's disease, which would suggest difficulty with fat soluble vitamins, as well as iron. my d was normal, but lowish. checking for a, e and k will help rule that out - or present it as more plausible. colitis would also be the disease that is most consistent with red stool, which i think was caused by the beets - but i really don't seem to be bleeding. this will be what the poop test is for, ultimately.

- it could be phytates, but if it was phytates then i'd likely have problems with zinc, magnesium and calcium as well, and i don't. so, the idea that phytates are blocking the iron - on their own - seems to be unlikely. but, the interaction might be exacerbating some underlying genetic condition that is iron-specific. 

- it could be too much calcium. it really could be. but, trying to eat cereal without soy milk or eggs without cheese is going to suck. if it's really too much calcium, i'd rather take iron pills - it seems to work.

- it could just be too many minerals, in general. this is counter-intuitive, but because humans tend to have difficulty with iron absorption, in general, you could actually end up anemic if your diet has too many nutrients in it because they crowd the iron out. the answer would be to take pills like i'm doing - albeit perhaps less frequently, once levels are normalized. maybe an iron pill every other day...

- it could be eggs, but eggs also inhibit calcium and magnesium, and that's not happening.  on top of that, i should be getting most of my iron from the fruit bowl, not the eggs.

- likewise, it might be oxalates, but my calcium levels are not being impacted.

- i used to drink coffee with meals but stopped several months ago. while i suppose that it might have exacerbated an existing problem, it doesn't seem to be the primary problem.

- or, it could be something in a long list of obscure diseases, like cystic fibrosis. and, i'll need to let the doctors direct me regarding anything like that.

so, none of these are really good answers, but this is the mess i need to sort through and try to figure out.

the immediate things for me to do are to:

1) take another blood test to fill out the absorption chart

2) wait to get a poop test

3) communicate with the gastric specialist about less invasive ways to check for bleeding (which obviously isn't happening) or malabsorption (which in some sense obviously is)

4) how do i check my hepcidin levels?

"all the bathrooms were closed due to the pandemic"

rrrrriiiiiiiight.

somebody beat me to that one.

"who is that man, smithers?"

is that guy in the distance taking a piss on the whitehouse lawn?

hope so.

today's post is the first jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj release, and a full on flip over into more serious music. or, at least, it was until i removed the vocals from the earlier recordings. i didn't finish this until 2014, but it's the first in a series of scored pieces that make up my fifth and part of my sixth record. it's not my first delve into jazz, but it's the first unambiguously jazz piece in the sequence.

=======

this is one of the tracks that i can't date well. i do, however, remember working on it during the winter, which means it must have been late '00 or early '01. i'm going to consequently deduce that it must have been what i was working on over the 2000 christmas break and date it coming out right after it. 

actually, i have another reason to date it in early '01 rather than late '00: the introductory piano part was recorded live into my notation program on my dx100, which i was given over christmas (maybe a little before; it was a cheap garage sale pickup) to act as a controller for my recently broken jx-8p, that i had tried to take apart over the summer to clean a sticky key (a common problem with mid-80s roland analog synths) but failed and left keyless. it's still keyless. yet, the dx still drives it.... 

that introductory piano part formed the basis of the track, which built itself up fairly quickly. somewhere, i lost the nwc file by saving it as midi, which ruined all the formatting. it's been sitting on my drive ever since. 

why put together seven different midi versions of the same track, and sequence them after a polished recorded version? well, this was never actually meant to be computer music. i was just composing something the old fashioned way with the intent of later giving it to some musicians to play. that never happened. what did happen was that i found myself playing it back on multiple sound cards over many years, trying to make it sound as good as possible in the short run - until i could finally get the chance to sit down and actually record it. while each of the different renders has it's strong and weak points, i ultimately don't feel that they form a total order. something i thought about doing was recording tracks independently on different cards and then pasting them together, but that would have just created another dozen incomparable mixes. rather than arbitrarily pick one, i decided to just upload all of them. 

in hindsight, i think the format is interesting in itself in terms of it being a psychological experiment with sound. the differences from track to track are sometimes inaudible and sometimes extremely noticeable. stringing it all together in a row like this is challenging to any listener in the sense that it rips apart the process of becoming familiar with a piece. it means listening to exactly the same song through multiple different sound libraries. i think your brain would have to interpret that as a sort of a trip, especially when it comes to trying to build associations in sound within tracks that are both similar and different sounding, soundcard wise. i think that might be part of the reason i had so much difficulty isolating tracks in the first place. 

so, listening to the ep through all the way is likely to be a bit disorienting and might ultimately be a strange experience. however, if you like the track for what it is as a collection of overlapping sequences of notes then i hope you get something out of the process of comparing and contrasting the renders together. 

i have included the original midi file as a bonus item in the download, if you want to play with it on your own. the added guitar sections in the final version are recent additions and have not been written out. 

thematically, the track is meant to orchestrate a feeling of claustrophobia with society pushing down on you too hard. it's meant to transmit a feeling of existential dread. at the time, i really felt stuck with life in general and not sure how i was going to get out of it. 

four further remixes were added at the end of may, 2015, which initially forced me to move two of the midi renders to 'download only'. it also split the ep into jazz and orchestral components, with a glitch mix added on to the end. in oct of 2017, this separation was formalized by converting the release into a double ep with 'jazz' renders on the first disc and 'classical' renders on the second one. two jazz mixes (album mix, vocal mix) were added to disc one; three further mixes (percussion mix, string orchestra mix, guitar-only mix) were added to disc two. 

written late 2000 & early 2001. the renders present here are all from after 2013. minor instrumentation changes to facilitate a small wind section were implemented in late april, 2014. live guitars were layered into the final version over may, 2014. released in a single volume on june 7, 2014. four new orchestral mixes were added in late may, 2015. re-released in a single volume on may 26, 2017. this release was split into jazz and orchestral volumes in early oct, 2017. two renders were then added to the jazz volume, while three new mixes were created for the orchestral volume. re-released in two volumes and finalized on oct 12, 2017. as always, please use headphones. 

the album version of this track appears on my fifth record, jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj (inri052): jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj 

this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (2001, 2014, 2015, 2017).

again, we have the wrongness of the philips curve screwing everything up again...

inflation is not something that follows a mathematical formula. if there's anything we've learned, it's that we can't create inflation, and we've tried our best to do it, over and over. nothing works..

inflation happens when sellers realize they can charge a higher price because buyers are willing to pay it. that isn't going to necessarily even be a function of costs, either, as prices will come down if the product stops moving due to increases resulting from costs. it's a complicated game of chicken that buyers and sellers play with each other, not some output of a function that can be graphed or predicted.

the counter-example is when you're specifically dealing with rentiers, who will always extract the maximum amount that they possibly can. so, you can be pretty sure that if you give poor people money, it'll just get extracted in rent. but, just about everything else is up to chance, and you want to be modelling it like quantum rather than newtonian physics.

you don't want to say "if this condition holds, inflation happens". rather, you want to say something like "the probability of inflation rests on these conditions". and, you want to build probability distributions to understand it, rather than linear models.

even keen's models were pretty much classical, unfortunately. and, this insight might be unsatisfying, but it's necessary - and you kids should clue into it now. this world isn't causal; you have to understand it using the mathematics of chance, not the mathematics of certainty.

that said, wray's conclusions will still largely stand, if you produce a proper probabilistic model of inflation - in fact, they'll stand way better than any causal model will because it will pull the rug out from under them. the right interpretation is that inflation from producing money is neither certain nor impossible but unlikely - but, it means you always have to understand that there's some chance that the whole thing caves in, that sellers win a series of games and send everything tumbling via some out of control asymptote, and then you're in the weimar republic.

fwiw, there's a good argument that the weimar republic happened because the bankers in england and france wanted it to happen, and not due to some positivist rule of economics - that germany lost that game of chicken, and that maybe they never really had much of a chance of winning it.

and, of course, the reason that the larry summers' of the world are holding off on bigger stimulus is that they don't want it to work too well - you gotta keep the peasants in check, after all. can't have any of that nasty redistribution, of course. so, you produce enough to get the banks in order, and everybody else can starve - which is how they want it to be.

this isn't a theoretical debate - it's a debate about the desirability of the outcome of producing sufficient stimulus.

so, i have also pasted my new eggs + salad matrix into the last update post, which was trying to work out all of the amino acids at the same time and was left off with the last couple of them, after coming up with an original analysis of the methionine/cysteine relationship. i will get to this, but i want to build it up item by item. so, when this finally gets posted, it will be posted with the total outcomes, rather than just the  fruit bowl outcome.

i've also updated the final matrix to have two entries rather than one, although the entries in it are currently designed for a three-meal 36 hour cycle rather than a two-meal 24 hour-cycle and i'll have to adjust it as i go.

what i still need to do tonight is to add the paprika and the vitamins a1-a4 breakdown to the fruit bowl matrix and the combined matrix at the end. when that's done, i'll post the three charts together. what i'm going to be doing for the next few week is posting one entry a day, and have it be a total post for each item. so, when i do the retinol post, it will be a total retinol post with references to all entries, in a self-contained manner and etc. that means that i'm going to want to build the dietary perfection document up as well.

i wanted to do this all at once, but i can't wait for it, i want to get it done with. i just want to dump it all into a word document relatively quickly so i can sort through it linearly. i'm not even going to format it - i can do that later.

but, i am going to have to rip this table out of the other posting sequence, as it's no longer relevant:
