4.24: relig/christian/the age of reason

. intuition is when you believe something

without any physical evidence of it being true;

rather, the only reason for believing it

is trust that the spirits will be truthful.

. Christians know there are 2 spirits:

the god, God, who tells us the truth

and the devil, The Great Deceiver,

[ John 8:44, Revelation 12:9]

who may seem to be God but tells us lies.

. a prophet is someone whose intuitive thoughts

come from the truthful God,

while the fooled believe they are guided by God,

but they are really lied to by the devil.

. the bible tells us that even a prophet

can be fooled by the very clever devil:

. when Jesus realized he was not just a prophet

but could also be fooled by the devil

he angrily killed a fig tree

with the intention that it never feed others

if it wouldn't feed Jesus right now.

. this is research about a supplement

for the purpose of protecting the eyes

from blindness caused by macular degeneration.

. lutein comes from grean leafy vegetables,

or they have some new (possibly better) extraction method.

. this supp provides some eye-protecting pigments

not found in the dark green leafy veg (zeaxanthin).

. both those pigments might be preventing

maximizing omega-3 fish oil,

and staying away from refined sugars.

"An intake of dietary supplied nutrients

but this is not proven.

we recommend" those at risk of AMD to

The role of the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin,

in protecting against age-related macular degeneration:

a review based on controversial evidence;

Maneli Mozaffarieh, et al.]

. lutein may be more important than zeaxanthin

and you can get that from leafy greens:

Effect of lutein and zeaxanthin on macular pigment

and visual function in patients with

early age-related macular degeneration;

Le Ma, et al, Randomized Controlled Trial

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22858124/

. Early AMD patients were assigned randomly to receive

10 mg/day lutein (n = 27),

20 mg/day lutein (n = 27),

10 mg/day lutein plus 10 mg/day zeaxanthin (n = 27);

or placebo (n = 27) for 48 weeks.

Macular pigment optical density (MPOD)

and visual function variables were assessed

at baseline, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks.

Results:

Macular pigment optical density

increased significantly by a mean ± standard error of

0.076 ± 0.022 density unit

in the 20-mg lutein group and

0.058 ± 0.027 density unit in the

lutein and zeaxanthin group during 48 weeks.

[12.30: so given the standard error,

it's not clear whether your extra 10 mg

of more lutein or instead zeaxanthin

is better for Macular pigment optical density;

but if all error was equal,

it might be better to replace zeaxanthin

with more lutein?]

There was a significant dose-response effect for

lutein supplementation, ...

At 48 weeks, a trend toward improvement was seen in

best-corrected visual acuity,

and there was a significant between-group difference in

contrast sensitivity at 3 and 6 cycles/degree

between the

20-mg lutein group and the placebo group. [12.30:

but less dramatic findings in the

lutein + zeaxanthin group?]

Conclusions:

Among patients with early AMD,

supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin

improved macular pigment,

which played a causative role in boosting visual function

and might prevent the progression of AMD.

[12.30:

. but the data seems to show that

"coronary microvascular dysfunction";

Small vessel disease

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/small-vessel-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20352117

Small vessel disease may also be called:

Coronary microvascular disease

Microvascular endothelial dysfunction

Small vessel disease is treatable but may be difficult to detect.

The condition is typically diagnosed after finding

little or no narrowing in the main arteries of the heart

despite the presence of symptoms that suggest heart disease.

Coronary Microvascular Disease (MVD)

https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/heart-attack/angina-chest-pain/coronary-microvascular-disease-mvd

In coronary MVD, the heart's coronary artery blood vessels

don't have plaque, but damage to the inner walls of the blood vessels

can lead to spasms

or abnormalities in smaller arteries.

Nonobstructive coronary heart disease

Treatment

Medications to relax blood vessels including

beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitroglycerin.

What is MINOCA? A Type of Heart Attack Mostly Affecting Women

. myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries

(MINOCA), is garnering increased attention.

Janet Wei, MD, and Noel Bairey Merz, MD:

MINOCA is a heart attack caused by

poor blood flow to the heart,

despite no evidence of major blockage in the arteries,

eg, coronary artery spasms, and

spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

A troubling aspect of MINOCA is that

often when we diagnose a heart attack,

we rely on a single imaging method

—invasive coronary angiogram—

to tell us if there’s a big blockage in the coronary arteries.

With MINOCA, the angiogram can look normal.

MINOCA patients are more likely to be female and younger,

and they’re also more likely to be Black or Hispanic/Latino.

KAATSU intermittent hypoxia system:

. preventing blood flow during weightlifting

causes full exhaustion of even the

fast-twitch muscle fibers,

for exercise that gives you

faster, more powerful muscles.

. you can do this by using weight machines

that keep tension on the muscle between reps,

or you can use tight bands that reduce blood flow.

when I have the 6-month cash cushion in place.

(emotional freedom technique)

as a way to relax negative emotions.

. the book's references are numbers, not names and dates,

yet the list of references has no numbering?

no, you can click on a number,

and it will take you to the "notes" page

even though that page is not listed in the

table of contents.

stolen cactus

2022-11-29T16:34:00.000-07:00

2022.11.29: proj.apt`garden/stolen cactus:

. there were 3 pots of potatoes,

the pot on the right was half dug up,

in a place where 2 types cactus were located,

but one of the cactuses was thrown to the side.

I dug up the rest of the pot looking for potatoes,

but all I could find were 2 very small ones,

and one of the seed potatoes that seemed chewed,

while the pot seemed dragged out of place,

having me wonder if an animal did this,

but most likely a human was looking for a cactus.
