- a3 (lutein) (probably fine)

- a4 (lycopene) (probably fine) <---no clear value

- b8 (inositol) (probably fine)

- b14  (taurine - check total cysteine)  (probably fine)

- b15 (betaine)  (probably fine)

- chlorine  (probably fine)

- potassium  (probably fine)

- silicon  (probably fine)

- chromium  (probably fine)

- iron

- nickel

- copper

- zinc  <---fish?

- molybdenum

- iodine

 

- all amino acids  (eggs + nutritional yeast should be very good for this - and i may add fish)

- neurotransmitters & hormones should be analyzed when doing remaining amino acids, particularly tryptophan, apparently.

- dna & rna synthesis and repair should also be investigated

- allicin <---garlic (not listed)

- chlorophyll <---spinach. no clear value (not listed)

- flavonoids <---no clear value (not listed)

and, i'm actually not going to fill in the vitamin a for the night because it took too long. tomorrow, instead.

we're coming up to the end of the day, so here's today's post - the third installment in the running total of flac dvd compilations, and the eighth aleph disc.

this is also the last release dated to the year 2000; inri043 starts period 2.2, jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj and the year 2001 fresh, for the next day.

i added some green beans in last night, and it just took me forever to make the meal and eat it. this is also becoming an expensive meal. on top of that, it's really only the pasta bowl that's causing me digestive issues. so, i'm coming to the conclusion that maintaining this pasta bowl is more trouble than it's worth, and i'm better off just sticking with the eggs.

what that means is that, rather than add items to the pasta bowl one by one, i'm going to start eating my eggs with a side salad and adding components to it, one-by-one. these components will be taken out of the pasta bowl and put into the side salad, instead. some of these items will be left out - it will depend on what i end up with, in the end. i'm pretty sure i know what will get dropped and what won't, though. and, the remaining bits will get used up slowly, as additions to the salad, until they're gone.

so, the eggs meal currently consists of the following:

1) four extra large eggs fried in two tablespoons of fortified (vitamins a, d & e) olive oil margarine

2) 2 pieces of flax bread, each with an additional teaspoon of the same margarine

3) 2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast on the "buttered" bread

4) about 65-70 g of high retinol cheddar cheese on top of the yeast (30-35 g, each)

the eggs are then placed on the cheese, two eggs per slice of bread.

in the past, i have sometimes put caesar salad dressing on the eggs; i'm currently sticking just with pepper.

5) 1 glass of grapefruit-apple juice. it's about 20% grapefruit, 80% apple. this is for inositol & vitamin c.

this very simple to make meal gives me the half-day requirements (the other half is from the complete fruit bowl) for :

- a, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b9, b12, b13, b16, d, e, f1, f2, k2,

- f (from coffee), na, p, ca, mn, se

i also think, but have not calculated, that it is sufficient for:

- b8, b14, c....b, cl, si, cr...all amino acids

i have not calculated, but suspect it is not sufficient for:

mg, k, ni, mo, i......lutein, lycopene, chlorophyll, flavonoids

i am sure it is not sufficient for:

b15, b20, f3, f4, k1,s...., fe, cu, zn......allicin

not all of the above are equally valuable, but these are therefore the nutrients to isolate for as i add items to the salad:

- b8 (inositol - grapefruit juice)

- b14  (taurine - check total cysteine in eggs & yeast)

- b15 (betaine - spinach)

- b20 (l-carnitine - keep low, though)

- c (grapefruit & apple juice)

- f3 (epa) (?)

- f4 (dha) (?)

- k1 (spinach)

- s (salicylic acid) (need to add spices)

- boron (produce, in general)

- magnesium  ("")

- chlorine ("")

- potassium ("")

- silicon ("")

- chromium ("")

- iron (add spices for this)

- nickel (produce, in general)

- copper (produce, in general)

- zinc (fish?)

- molybdenum (produce, in general. bread?)

- iodine (produce, in general. also added to salt.)

 

- all amino acids  (eggs + nutritional yeast should be very good for this - and i may add fish)

- allicin (garlic)

- lutein (spinach)

- lycopene (only actual source is tomatoes)

- chlorophyll (spinach)

- flavonoids (?)

i'm going to start with a basic update (because i'm eating this and don't want it to be too bland) and then post one update for this per day until it's done, and then this is done, subject to further modifications regarding beneficial metals. it will be some fish in the side salad, maybe...

i already added 30 g of spinach, so let's start with that. i'm also going to add garlic to the eggs in between the margarine and the yeast (because it's actually better tasting that way) and i'm going to add a cup of soy milk (for minerals & proteins), tomatoes (for lycopene), red peppers (for c, pseudo-a and other things), hemp seeds (for minerals), paprika (for lutein) & oregano (for salicylates) to the spinach, to start. that's my base salad, and it's not that different than the peppers-tomatoes base i used to use in my pasta (i even had oregano in there for a while). that said, i'm not going to calculate any of this except the first line item, which is vitamin a (i'll calculate calories and cost last); and, i'm just going to build the chart, first. so, today's update is fairly minimal, but it is definitely substantive, to immediately start. it should get me most of the way there, right away.

but, i have a ton of vegetables to eat, and they'll need to come in one at a time in order to eat through it. i mean, these are all nutritious foods, they've just become overkill with the change in direction.

we're keeping these ones for sure:

- red peppers are here to stay; i've always eaten peppers, i'm just moving from green to red

- garlic is here to stay. my dad cooked with a lot of garlic, but i never did. it's really overdue.

- tomatoes are back in

- spinach is replacing the beets

...but....

- beets are probably done for. i was initially digesting them, but i don't seem to be, anymore. maybe i overdid it, but i think i need to pull back. spinach is also high in betaine, and higher in lutein, so let's try that for a bit, instead. my b9 levels were very high when tested, so losing a little in the beets doesn't seem to be something i need to worry about. the only other thing i'm looking at is total potassium, and we'll see what makes the most sense for that, in the end.

- the carrots seem like empty nitrates in a side salad for a main plate of eggs, but we'll see if they become valuable or not. again, the most likely thing is extra potassium. and, i may want to keep something crunchy for my teeth. if it's carrots v beets, in the end, beets probably win. for now, i'll be adding a little of one or the other until they run out and then go from there.

- lime is iffy. i could stick with it for inositol, and even just for taste. i'm sidelining it to start, though.

- broccoli is probably out, but i'll take a close look at it and i'll be keeping up with it because it doesn't keep.

- the green beans weren't the best idea, really, and i'll just add a few in per day until they're gone. i should get enough inositol from the grapefruit juice & peppers together, and i'd rather stick with limes than jump to beans, if i have to make that choice.

if i cut all of those out, i'm reclaiming $50-75/month, and it won't cost that much to switch to eggs, instead.

the pro-biotic yogurt is also probably out, although i'll keep with it until it's done, and the sunflower seeds don't seem necessary in the side salad - i can save them for the fruit bowl. both may have value for amino acids, when i get there. i'll have to look at the other spices as they come up, but these are all mostly here for carotenoids or iron and i'm expecting i should keep most of them.

i may even add the pasta back, in the end, as it's fortified with iron, but i'm just not going anywhere with this pasta salad as a main meal, in the long run - it's too much food, and costs too much and takes too long to make. and it takes up too much room in my fridge, too. the eggs are simply more efficient, and just need a small side salad, instead.

that means that i may actually screw myself over this month as i bought a bunch of food i don't need and not enough of what i do, but my grocery bill should be a little more manageable next month. i'm not used to running out of money because i spent too much on food; i need to scale back.

this is a decision i had already made, it's just taken me a while to flip over and implement it.

but, we're here now - we're doing fruit bowls in the morning & eggs + side salad at night. same thing, every day. and, what's left to work out is what's in the side salad and what isn't.

i'm going to post this first, and then go back and paste it into the main update post, which was focused on a total amino acid update the last time i did it. i'll have to adjust that. and, i have a number of other half-finished posts to look at as well.

i'm doing this tonight instead of cleaning because i'm feeling a little tired due to smoking too much over the weekend. of course, i might have also picked up a virus - i have what seems like a smokers' cough. but, i want to take it easy and sit and type tonight, and will get back to cleaning tomorrow.

so, that's what's coming up in the next post - a new combined matrix for a side salad and eggs meal to replace the previous eggs & pasta matrices.

so, i slept all day again...

still no zinc results, but there's no point in calling, now. so, i'm going to have to wait for the stupid appointment, and i'm not at all happy about it. and, i'll have to reschedule for next week once he tells me it, because i can't direct the call until i know the result, first - and i'm not letting him direct it. that's not in the set of acceptable outcomes. this is my body, i make the decisions and there is no debate on the topic. if i could do this myself, i would.

but, i'm going to start with a diet update post.

i take it that this is oliver from "upper class twit of the year" fame, isn't it?

i mean, how do you get to oxford by swallowing trumpian propaganda about the tpp? and still believe it five years later?

the canadian side has no intention of moving on this, as trudeau thinks that restrictions on civil liberties are the way to "keep us safe" - just like the last entitled son of an oligarch that we saw on this continent.

it won't be until after the election, whenever it is.

...probably not until some time around this time next year, once he can fly a "mission accomplished" flag somewhere and play it up to nauseating and absurd levels.

what the government's position on this seems to be is something along the lines of that it wants to be an import-dominated economy because it wants to put faith in global trade. so, supporting domestic production is therefore racist.

it looks stupid, on first glance. i mean, what?

but, then you look at the fact that the canadian investor class is tied up in foreign stock portfolios, and it makes sense - the government makes itself dependent on imports because the money from the domestic investor class is tied up in foreign production.

and, you'll just have to wait until it's profitable for the investor class before you're allowed to get vaccinated. sorry.

in fact, canada itself would strongly benefit from the eradication of property rights around the vaccines, as it could allow some of the dormant, if dwindling, manufacturing capacity to develop more quickly.

it's not even in our self-interest.

but, they don't care about you, they care about investors.

the last time i checked, the liberal party of canada remained a member of the socialist international.

this is a party that once up and flat out nationalized the oil industry.

for them to get squeamish about taking property rights away from foreign pharmaceutical lobbies (as canada has no domestic vaccine production capacity. at all.) is both in contradiction to the party's traditional position and uncanadian on it's face. it's embarrassing - flat out.

but, it's predictable. you should be shocked but you shouldn't be surprised.

i agree that this is baffling, but only up to a certain point - this government is unusually right-wing, in canadian terms, and this particular issue of property rights is the kind of thing it's moved very hard to the right on. so, it's baffling, yes, but it's also predictable....if you were paying attention.

once again, i'm on the side of the americans on this: fuck property rights.

one has to think that the future of health care is going to relegate this kind of "general practitioner" as obsolete, in the face of technology that replaces it. it's an unnecessary step that can be taken out, at great cost reductions to society.

and, i'm all in. 

hurry it up. 

no, that's the right way to think of it - the doctor is just unnecessary bureaucracy, and the need to go to the doctor and have everything dealt with through the auspices of a doctor is just slowing everything down.

decisions that could be made in a few hours take weeks to process, instead.

and, it's just frustrating that i have to wait for the fucking doctor to do everything, when i could just do it myself.

i don't really want a doctor, at all.

what i actually want is to be able to order my own blood tests, and prescribe my own medications.

the doctor is just an annoyance in a bureaucracy - a formality that can't be done away with.

so, i still haven't received the zinc tests and i'm starting to get a little bit pissed off about it. i could be suffering through a zinc deficiency, and they won't tell me unless i pay to see him? you know, the fact that i have unhindered access to care is great and everything, but the profit motive has yet to be entirely eliminated, and we're going to be stuck with this kind of bullshit until it gets dealt with.

i understand that they had to send the blood to a different lab, but the doctor had the results last week and i don't have them yet. they could have emailed them to me, even, but they won't. it's unacceptable, really.

so, i'm going to call them tomorrow and ask them to leave me a voice message with the zinc results. i'm also going to ask them to mail me the results from yesterday, and then reschedule the appointment until next week, so i have time to look at the results before i request further tests from the doctor.

i'm not interested in being managed by a "professional". i will make these decisions myself, or they will not be made at all.

so, today's post is the deny everything box set - closing period 2.1. that's up to inriℵ7, now.

today was a sleepy day, but that's a kind of normal consequence of spending a weekend smoking. but, it means i'm still cleaning, and everything is put off for a few more days. 

if i can stay awake for a bit, i should be able to get most of the kitchen done before it's time to eat again.

i believe that the earlier source for this would be cavalli-sforza. i don't see anything in here that wasn't developed by him more than 20 years ago.

and, cavalli-sforza was of course drawing on gimbutas for her archaeological work in central asia.

if you want a gentler introduction, there's a text by jp mallory called "in search of the indo-europeans" that i found very useful when i was studying this ~20 years ago. it's from 1989.

the major problem with these models - and this guy is not the first person to do this - is the assumption that the rate of mutation is constant. there's really no reason to think that, and it's no doubt horribly wrong. that said, we don't currently have a better idea, either. we could, in theory, try to model the rate of change by looking at snapshots of actual dna, but we're in a kind of circular logic problem with that, as we have to assume constant rates to do much of any analysis. but, it's still the better approach, and it will need to be done, eventually. until then, these models can come up with approximations, and they can help give us clues,  but they shouldn't be taken particularly seriously. and, they definitely shouldn't be used to try to test hypotheses, where errors in modeling rates could very well affect the deduction presented by the model. so, i don't want to write this off entirely - largely because he's just redoing things that were done decades ago, or much longer than that, and just confirming the results we already knew. but, the premise that this is some kind of giant advance is an exaggeration - it's a baby step, and it doesn't address the longstanding, pre-existing problems with assumptions in the modeling.

if you want to look into this, look up the (unresolved) gould-dawkins debate to start.

when i was working this out at the time, i became convinced that the historical elamite civilization was probably south asian in origin. linguists have proposed a theoretical elamo-dravidian language, but they generally derive it the other way. so, it's useful to envision an ancient south asian civilization that was centered in the harappan space but spanned the distance between mesopotamia and china, and trade links all along the path. local derivations of south asians in iran need not be recent immigrants.

neo-cons and rabid dogs have a lot in common, in truth.

and, they respond to the same basic concept of authority.

something else to keep an eye on: if biden can't even take control of his dogs, what are the chances that these neo-cons that he brought back into government are going to listen to him?

look for people openly disregarding his directions, flaunting him in public, etc - and expect the dereliction to come from the right side of the democratic party, and not the subservient left.

this picture is going around and has been for a while.

in it, the prime minister is clearly shit-faced stoned and retarded. you can tell by the shape of his eyes,

it's been clear for a while now that the pm is in fact a pothead, that he actually goes to work stoned. i'm in the group of people that would rather just sweep it under the rug until he finally just goes away, because it's really too embarrassing to react to in any other manner.

but, if the media could collectively stop posting pictures where he's obviously shitfaced, while talking to major world leaders or not, that would be in everybody's benefit. it's probably too late to undo the reputational damage to the country as a whole, but we don't need foreign leaders expecting to talk to a retard.

and, on the other side, if mr trudeau's habits are interfering with his day-to-day life (they're clearly interfering with his fashion sense. yuck.), perhaps he ought to be coerced into rehab.

i'd rather he just go back to the mountains and smoke all the drugs he wants, myself. but, some decision has to be made - we can't have a constantly shitfaced-at-work prime minister. 

no, let's be clear thinking, here.

while vaccination has clearly helped get the issue under control amongst the elderly population, it is more important than ever that they continue to be isolated from contact with the general population, because the variants that can evade the vaccine are going to be especially deadly on the people that get it. and, it only takes a minor tweak to get us back where we were when we started this.

life will never be normal for these people ever again.

but, that doesn't mean everybody else has to suffer with them - and that's what's pissing me off about this, this centrally enforced penance, this idea that we have to all suffer together. like i have an obligation to give a fuck....

it's an idea that is foreign to any sort of secular-derived contemporary western culture, and any kind of celtic or germanic or even greek culture, as well. you have to look towards mid-eastern cultures like judaism and it's offshoots to make sense of that, and that's not my culture and those aren't my values.

so, i mean, how did we get stuck with this idea of enforced collective penance in a secular society in the 21st century? that's the idea we need to figure out as we normalize the virus as a fact of life, and get back to normal along with it.

i've been saying for years that what the eu needs is what canada calls transfer payments - and they probably would have gotten them, if they would have accepted the last defeated constitutional package, however long ago that was. greece and italy are what canadians would call a "have not province", and they would therefore be eligible for "equalization payments". you simply can' otherwise expect these little  countries to share a currency with germany; it just can't make sense unless you bring a state in to balance it out.

 

so, it took longer to get the kitchen cleaned last night (this morning) than i wanted, and i had to crash half-way through the pasta bowl, not finishing it until early this morning. the spinach didn't add much to the taste, but it did add a bit to the texture. i think that's a fine, stable add. let's try it in the eggs...

and, i'm in, now, for the next several weeks - after going out briefly to get my blood tested. the temperature is falling, and i'm just going to hide inside until it gets better.

i talked to an employee at the clinic, and he explained to me that the reason that some items don't show up in the patient reports is that they get shipped to outside labs. it's also why they need to take separate vials for those items. in fact, all of the items i got today - lead, h. pylori and haptoglobin - are going to be shipped, so i won't be receiving any results in real time. and, it turns out that there is no hepcidin test available here, after all.

no zinc results yet, either.

so, back to cleaning - and let's hope i get more done tonight than last night.

the thing about "vaccine passports" for covid-19 is that the vaccines aren't going to work very well against the increasingly complicated variants. it's not even a philosophical debate about whether it's acceptable or not; the reality is that the science doesn't support it as rational.

and, as i've pointed out, and many others have pointed out, a vaccine will never work as well as natural immunity.

but, there's an underlying error that people have to adjust to - people are trying to compare covid to something like polio, which has a low mutation rate and doesn't require multiple vaccinations. you're going to need to get vaccinated for covid-19 every year, and potentially even more frequently than that.

so, the proper comparison is not to polio, but to the flu.

and, i know of no countries that require travelers to get flu shots before entering, at this time.

it's the kind of idea that comes up when you get a bunch of arts students trying to discuss science; it's not grounded in evidence, and while that doesn't mean it won't happen, it will be a sad day, indeed, if it does.

if we can shut down a few churches and secularize their brainwashed followers, that's major progress.

i just hope the state is applying the same strict rules to all of the other religions, as well.

religious gatherings are pretty much the only thing that i agree should be banned, and that i would ban if i were queen, as they're entirely pointless, frivolous and unnecessary - and attract large percentages of lonely elderly people that are at a high risk of transmission.

so, while i would oppose restrictions on most types of shopping, on restaurants and also on most types of concerts (i would agree with pausing the symphony, as a counter-example), i would actually support restrictions on the frivolity and pointlessness of "religious freedom". your imaginary friend doesn't exist, and gathering together to sing at the wall is too stupid to allow, right now.

so, they will find no ally with me - even as i support secular ways to oppose the lockdown.
