you will hear a lot of lies about blue zones where there are more centenarians than would be expected in a normal population. turns out that they have high total cholesterol and high LDL and when attempts are made to lower their lipids they don't live as long.

this group continues to do great work with a control group cell line to show the problem with viral isolation processes. This protocol demonstrated that the growth medium for cell cultures when reduced to very low nutrient levels causes many of the observed "viral" effects which we attribute to pathogens they used 2% fetal bovine serum as the nutrient medium

any interest from texans on nostr to have a telemedicine provider that accepts bitcoin for services and focuses on preventative metabolic health. Goal is a fair valued cash based service (no insurance nonsense) that actually builds a holistic picture of patient's metabolic health (true preventative care). fairly easy for me to start the practice but since there are some malpractice fees to get in place I'm trying to gauge interest. thanks for the comments

honey is a food. here is a list of the composition of honey (it isn't just sugar) 1. Proteins & peptides: – Glucose oxidase (generates H₂O₂, the primary antimicrobial) – Invertase (sucrase, splits sucrose → glucose + fructose) – Diastase / α-amylase (partially hydrolyzes starch/dextrins) – Catalase, acid phosphatase, protease, peptidase, glucosyl-transferase -Major Royal Jelly Proteins 1–5 (MRJP 1–5) – secreted by hypopharyngeal gland; tiny µg amounts remain in finished honey -Bee defensin-1 (antimicrobial peptide) -Apalbumins (storage proteins) -Trace amounts of free amino acids (~18 standard types plus proline and γ-aminobutyric acid) 2. Major carbohydrates (>75 % dry weight): -Monosaccharides: D-fructose & D-glucose (typically 1.2–1.5 : 1 ratio) -Disaccharides: maltose, isomaltose, sucrose, trehalose, melezitose, erlose, palatinose -Tri- and tetrasaccharides: maltotriose, panose, maltulose, fructo-oligosaccharides, etc. 3. Phenolics & flavonoids (0.02–0.5 %; give floral properties): -Flavonoids: pinocembrin, chrysin, galangin, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, apigenin -Phenolic acids: gallic, caffeic, p-coumaric, chlorogenic, ferulic, cinnamic acids -Tannins, lignans, catechins 3. Volatile & aroma molecules (≈0.02 %) - 200+ volatiles—mainly aldehydes (2-methyl-butanal), esters (methyl anthranilate), ketones, alcohols, terpenes (linalool, eucalyptol), furanones; profile is highly floral-dependent. 4. Vitamins & cofactors (trace µg–mg kg⁻¹ amounts): -B-complex: B₂ (riboflavin), B₃ (niacin), B₅ (pantothenic acid), B₆ (pyridoxine) -C (ascorbic acid), K, folic acid, biotin 5. Minerals & trace elements (≤1 % ash): - K, Ca, Mg, Na, P, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Se, Cr; dark honeys are richer in minerals. 6. Other bioactives & contaminants: -Melatonin, serotonin (ng levels) -5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) – process/time marker -Methylglyoxal (high in manuka honey, gives non-peroxide activity) -Microbial DNAs, pollen proteins (allergens), trace pesticides or heavy metals in conventional sources

summary of creatine dosing 0 g (baseline) – Normal endogenous production (1 g/d) and diet (meat/fish) maintain muscle phosphocreatine at 60–70 % of saturation. 1–2 g/d – “Low-dose” supplementation – Slightly raises muscle creatine (~10–15 % above baseline). – May offer modest cognitive support in vegetarians or during sleep deprivation, but minimal strength/power gains. 3–5 g/d – Standard daily dose (no loading) – Achieves near-maximal muscle phosphocreatine saturation (≈ 20 % rise) within 3–4 weeks. – Improves high-intensity exercise capacity (≈ 5–15 %), lean mass accrual (≈ 1–2 kg over 8–12 weeks), and recovery. – Cognitive benefits in older adults and those with low dietary intake. 20 g/d (split 4 × 5 g) for 5–7 days – “Loading phase” – Rapidly saturates muscle stores (≈ 20 % rise) in <1 week. – Same long-term performance benefits as 3–5 g/d, just reached faster. – Higher incidence of mild GI upset or water-weight gain (1–2 kg). >5 g/d maintenance (>10 g/d) – No additional muscle or performance benefit once stores are saturated. – May increase plasma creatinine without renal harm in healthy kidneys, but offers no extra advantage. Bottom line: – 3–5 g/d is the sweet spot for strength, hypertrophy, and recovery. – 20 g/d loading for 5–7 days speeds saturation if rapid benefit is desired.

during covid i wrote a book about my thoughts on living a good life that i hope my kids will share with their kids to keep our family values alive through the generations. a lot of time spent journaling is ultimately never read by anyone yet it contains ideas which could be useful if shared and could form a guide to life for a multigenerational family. instead of journaling my thoughts i wrote a book that is a conversation between two neighbors.
