Key Takeaways: Chiropractic adjustments not only alleviate musculoskeletal pain but also positively influence the brain's somatosensory map, improving proprioception and overall health. Research demonstrates that spinal manipulation can balance the autonomic nervous system and impact the neuroendocrine system, aiding in healing and reducing inflammation. Studies indicate that chiropractic care can significantly lower hospital stays and mortality rates for pneumonia patients, emphasizing the benefit of integrative health approaches. Chiropractic care is versatile, with some practitioners focusing exclusively on adjustments while others embrace functional medicine and even medications, tailoring their approach to patient needs. Human touch, a fundamental component of chiropractic care, plays a crucial role in enhancing patient recovery and well-being. Notable Quotes: "Chiropractic is the art of applying a specific force and line of correction to reduce abnormal juxtaposition along the spine over a series of gentle adjustments." "When you adjust the spine, you help activate both the autonomic nervous system and the hormone system pathways." "People need connection. They need to be touched. And they need to know that there's a schedule, that something's happening." "You cut your risk of death by 85% if you get a manipulation while you're in the hospital once a day." "We create a space where everybody has a positive experience and where they know that we care about them."

Christian Drapeau, MSc. is a neurophysiology scientist and leading voice on stem cells who focuses on discovering and developing ways to naturally enhance human stem cell production, mostly through plant extracts that stimulate the body's own stem cell production. He was the first to propose and publish the hypothesis that stem cells constitute the "repair system" of the body, as published in his peer-reviewed Medical Hypotheses article in October 2002 and documented in the first edition of his breakthrough book Cracking the Stem Cell Code in 2010. These findings made him the first to name a new bodily system since the early 1900s. Owning nine patents related to stem cells, he has spent over 23 years conducting research to better understand the role they play and identifying ways to improve the performance of the body's repair system, the foundation of regenerative medicine. Christian Drapeau holds a degree in neurophysiology from the Montreal Neurological Institute in Montreal, Canada. He has given over 300 scientific lectures on stem cells in 51 countries, and is fluent in three languages. He has been Director of R&D and Chief Science Officer for a number of companies, including his most recent venture STEMREGEN, where he is Founder and Chief Science Officer and continues his work of researching and developing novel stem cell enhancers.  In this episode, Christian Drapeau gives us the stem cell basics, discusses their effectiveness and why boosting your own stem cells is a good idea.  Learn more about Christian Drapeau and get StemRegen products here: https://stemregen.co/coachtara  Instagram: @stemcellchristian Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: https://peluva.com/ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 4:50 Stem cells basics 17:21 StemRegen results 23:36 Effectiveness 31:58 Heart disease 38:48 Aging

Les bains glacés, souvent promus par des sportifs, influenceurs ou adeptes du bien-être, sont vantés pour leurs prétendus bienfaits : récupération musculaire, amélioration de la circulation sanguine, gestion du stress et renforcement du système immunitaire. Mais qu'en dit la science ?Récupération musculaireL'un des usages les plus populaires des bains glacés concerne la récupération musculaire après l'effort. Une méta-analyse publiée dans Sports Medicine (2016) a confirmé que l'immersion dans de l'eau froide (10-15 °C) réduit efficacement l'inflammation et les douleurs musculaires à court terme, en ralentissant la circulation sanguine et en diminuant l'œdème des tissus. Cependant, une étude dans le Journal of Physiology (2015) a souligné que cette pratique pourrait ralentir les adaptations musculaires et la croissance à long terme, car elle inhibe les processus inflammatoires nécessaires à la régénération naturelle des muscles.Circulation sanguine et inflammationLes bains glacés provoquent une vasoconstriction (rétrécissement des vaisseaux sanguins), suivie d'une vasodilatation lorsqu'on sort de l'eau. Ces effets, étudiés dans European Journal of Applied Physiology (2007), peuvent temporairement améliorer la circulation sanguine périphérique. Cependant, les preuves sur des bénéfices durables pour la circulation ou la gestion systémique de l'inflammation restent limitées et controversées.Gestion du stress et bien-être mentalL'immersion dans l'eau froide stimule la libération d'hormones comme l'adrénaline et les endorphines. Une étude dans PLoS One (2014) a montré une amélioration immédiate de l'humeur grâce à l'augmentation de ces neurotransmetteurs. De plus, une recherche publiée dans Medical Hypotheses (2008) suggère que les bains glacés pourraient réduire les symptômes de dépression légère à modérée, bien que des études supplémentaires soient nécessaires pour en valider l'efficacité à long terme.Renforcement du système immunitaireL'idée que les bains glacés renforcent l'immunité a été popularisée par des figures comme Wim Hof. Une étude publiée dans PNAS (2014) a examiné l'impact de cette pratique combinée à des techniques de respiration sur l'activité immunitaire. Les participants ont montré une meilleure réponse immunitaire après une exposition contrôlée à une toxine bactérienne, mais ces résultats restent spécifiques à ce protocole et ne prouvent pas d'effets généralisables.ConclusionLes bains glacés présentent des bénéfices scientifiquement validés, notamment pour la récupération et le bien-être immédiat. Cependant, leurs effets à long terme sur la santé restent incertains. Avant d'intégrer cette pratique à votre routine, considérez vos objectifs personnels et consultez un professionnel, surtout si vous souffrez de problèmes cardiovasculaires. Hébergé par Acast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Idea: medical hypotheses app for mysterious chronic illnesses, published by riceissa on May 19, 2023 on LessWrong. (This post is not up to my usual standards but I was encouraged to publish it anyway to get feedback on the idea.) I have been ill for the past four years with a mysterious chronic illness. One of the things that I keep thinking would be nice to have (but as far as I know, doesn't exist) is some sort of symptom-tracking app that would allow me to test various hypotheses for my various symptoms. I already do a simple version of this just in my head, for example, I can notice that if I stand for too long at a time it gets kind of aversive and sitting down makes me feel better. But it's hard to do this in my head for anything more complicated. What if eating cheese subtly helps with my breathing problem? It is not so easy to figure this out on my own. The things that make it hard to detect connections between "things I do" and "how I feel": delayed effects (maybe eating cheese helps with my breathing, but only on the following day, or maybe the effect builds up over time) conjunctions/combinations of things (maybe I need to both eat cheese and exercise on the same day and avoid other dairy, in order to feel better in some way) small effects, which are still good to notice because sometimes you just need to do more of it it's also hard to come up with hypotheses yourself Also, if the thing is something you've already tried in the past, it's good to make use of the data you already do have instead of running every single experiment after you generate the hypothesis. As you live through chronic illness, you keep generating new data every day. You also, occasionally, come across new hypotheses. It would be nice if you can test each new hypothesis against all the data you already have. The closest thing I know is the app Bearable, but the only "hypothesis" it seems to have is in the form of correlations of things that happen in a single day (e.g. "there is a such and such correlation between sleep duration and mood"), and the interface was so bad I couldn't keep using it. Currently I just track my diet, medications, and symptoms in a bulleted list in Roam. This makes it possible to check for more hypotheses than by my intuition alone, but it's too difficult to search for all the relevant days and track effects. For instance if the hypothesis is "if I eat oatmeal then seven days later I will have breathing problems", I will have to find every single instance of when I ate oatmeal, and then by hand check how I was doing seven days later. So the symptoms and the interventions being machine-specifiable is important. I suspect that this sort of thing may be useful for healthy people and in domains other than health, though I think the barrier is that most people who are not seriously ill do not have the motivation to collect so much data and track how they are feeling each day. Won't this "fit" a lot of spurious hypotheses, especially if the hypotheses are auto-generated? (Or in other words, won't p-hacking/"correlation but not causation" type things will be a problem?) I think it might, especially if the number of times an intervention was tried is too few. But I don't think this will be a big problem for this app because as long as there are only a smallish number of viable hypotheses, I can just run the experiment later to test them. ("The app says I felt way better 3 days after eating watermelons, and this happened on two occasions? Well then, I guess I'll start eating watermelons for a while.") It may help to iteratively make the hypotheses more complicated, until one reaches the point of having just the right number of plausible hypotheses to play around with. Some hypotheses are expensive to test so I won't have a way to check it with the existing data, e.g. r...

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Idea: medical hypotheses app for mysterious chronic illnesses, published by riceissa on May 19, 2023 on LessWrong. (This post is not up to my usual standards but I was encouraged to publish it anyway to get feedback on the idea.) I have been ill for the past four years with a mysterious chronic illness. One of the things that I keep thinking would be nice to have (but as far as I know, doesn't exist) is some sort of symptom-tracking app that would allow me to test various hypotheses for my various symptoms. I already do a simple version of this just in my head, for example, I can notice that if I stand for too long at a time it gets kind of aversive and sitting down makes me feel better.

I had great pleasure in talking with Dr Chris Knobbe. Dr Knobbe has an impressive biography and is now devoting his time and energy to educating and improving public health, particularly Age-related Macular Degeneration. He runs a  not-for-profit organisation called CureAMD.Over the last few years, Dr Knobbe has extensively researched the effects of vegetable oils on our health. I am sure all the listeners will learn a lot from this podcast. I highly recommend sharing this with your GP. This is the kind of information we need more widely understood in the community. We have also included a link to Dr Knobbe's book Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration on our website. I thank Dr Knobbe for taking the time to talk with me. Dr Knobbe begins with his personal health journey and explains how this led to his Omega-6 research. He discusses the following:- What prompted him to learn about nutrition, Western A Price and becoming an advocate of ancestral eating- The cause of our health crisis and what drives our increasing chronic disease- How he came to investigate macular degeneration- Becoming an advocate for preventing macular degeneration- Starting a non-profit foundation, writing a book and going pubic- Developing an interest in seed oils since 2016 and going public with the information- Hi goal is to reach people with a healthy lifesaving disease prevention message- CureAMD Foundation Links: Website: https://www.cureamd.orgLink to book and YouTube video can be found on our website resources page: https://www.susanbirch.co.nz/resources/Biography: Chris A. Knobbe, MD, is an ophthalmologist and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, formerly of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Department of Ophthalmology.  Dr Knobbe, a Weston A. Price acolyte since 2013, is known primarily for his hypothesis and research connecting Westernized diets to the potentially blinding eye disease, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which currently affects 196 million people worldwide.  Dr Knobbe's research has also become deeply invested in the devastating effects of seed oils (‘vegetable oils') and their unequalled contributions to Westernized disease, including heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancers, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and other chronic diseases.  Dr Knobbe and colleagues have a published paper regarding his revolutionary hypothesis and supportive research regarding AMD, in the journal Medical Hypotheses. Dr Knobbe is the author of the book, Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration, available via online book retailers everywhere.  Dr. Knobbe is a physician and ophthalmologist, certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, since 1997, and has also been appointed as an Honorary Advisory Board Member of the Ocular Wellness & Nutrition Society (OWNS).  Dr. Knobbe is Founder and President of the non-profit organization, Cure AMD Foundation, where he can be reached via the official website, CureAMD.org.If you enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, like and share.

Megan Pfeffer Megan Pfeffer is a Clinical Nutritionist and the founder of ‘I Choose Health', providing international education & support via online webinars, workshops, one-on-one consults and group online courses. Megan also researches and presents at international conferences to raise awareness of the loose connective tissue disease lipoedema and also for breast cancer. Megan co-authored the 2020 research paper titled ‘Ketogenic diet as a potential solution for lipedema', published in the peer-reviewed medical journal ‘Medical Hypotheses'. In 2019 Megan discovered she had lipoedema while researching the condition for one of her patients. In 2020 she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and underwent a life-saving bilateral mastectomy, and is now cancer-free. Megan lives a keto lifestyle to manage her own health and loves helping women around the world to take back control of their health. Megan Pfeffer didn't know she had lipoedema until she had a client who needed help with her condition. Lipoedema is often misdiagnosed or confused with lymphoedema. Lipoedema is a loose connective condition, that is resistive to standard diets, so can be very frustrating. It also presents with pain which is also not believed by health and medical professionals. In this episode, we talk about her journey and navigating cancer as well as how she helps others regain health.

Cold Shower UdpateA lot of the research into the benefits of cold showers suggests that the water does not necessarily need to be cold for the entire duration of the shower for the person to experience positive effects.A person can start by taking a warm shower and then switching the water to cold for a brief time. This could be anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.Some people prefer to take just a brief cold shower of around 5–10 minutes. This may also be a practical approach to cold water therapy.Several studies cite a target cold temperature of about 68°F (20°C), according to an article in the journal Medical Hypotheses.However, most of the time, a person's own perceptions of cold water are enough to make changing the temperature effective.as

#abolitionist #abolitionproj #transhumanist David Pearce is a prominent figure within the transhumanist movement and one of the co-founders of the World Transhumanist Association which is currently rebranded and incorporated as Humanity+. Pearce maintains a series of websites devoted to transhumanist topics and what he calls the "hedonistic imperative", a moral obligation to work towards the abolition of suffering in all sentient life. His self-published internet manifesto, The Hedonistic Imperative (1995), outlines how pharmacology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and neurosurgery could converge to eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience from human and non-human life, replacing suffering with "gradients of bliss". Pearce calls this the "abolitionist project. Pearce is also a fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and sits on the futurist advisory board of the Lifeboat Foundation. Until 2013, he was on the editorial advisory board of the controversial and non-peer-reviewed journal Medical Hypotheses, Pearce has answered more than 400 questions on #Quora, and his answers have been viewed more than three-quarters of a million times.

Desktop Electro-Magnetic Field Tuner (USB-Powered) Tunable, Adjustable, Powerful  This unit can also be used as an Audible Tone Generator or Frequency Counter. Produces Sine, Sawtooth and Square wave patterns. Step by step instructions included. Puts the full power of the Schumann Resonance in your hands! In 1952, the German scientist W.O.Schumann discovered a natural pulse resonating around our planet, beating at a frequency of 7.83 Hz (thereafter called the Schumann Resonance). Research has proved that electro-magnetic pollution can inhibit the human body's ability to synchronise with the Earth's natural magnetic pulse, thereby throtteling Melatonin, a major cancer suppressant and cell-rejuvenating neuro- hormone produced in the brain.Depending on your point of view, living beings either evolved in this natural electromagnetic environment (called The Schumann Resonances) or were created with Divine Intelligence to live in harmony with it. One thing is certain: Since life began, the Earth has been surrounding all living things with this natural frequency pulsation. Many experts believe that the wide spectrum of artificial man-made EMF radiation masks the natural beneficial frequency of the Earth.Electropollution may cause us to feel more stressed, fatigued and "out of balance." Laboratory research has shown that exposing living cells to the Schumann Resonance had beneficial effects when exposed to ambient EMFs, allowing the cells to increase their immune protection, and decrease the absorption of depression-inducing chemicals. Some researchers believe that by producing a 7.83 Hz signal we can counter the effects of the irritating man-made fields. By replicating the Earth's natural rhythm, we may be providing ourselves (at least in our immediate vicinity) with a more healthy environment.Research in Biophysics seems to suggest, that our biological system is "tuned into" the background frequency of our planet - the `Schumann Resonance'- a steady pulse of 7.8 Hz which beats around the planet within the earth/ionosphere cavity. It has been found that this is also the dominant brainwave rhythm of all mammals. Drowning out this natural frequency by overlaying it with manmade radiation noise, and in particular pulsed (digital) magnetic fields, can have devastating effects on our immune system, which is largely orchestrated by the release of certain neuro-transmitters and hormones within the human brain. By introducing interference signals, we create new previously unknown patterns, which thereby could set off new previously unknown auto-immune conditions.This could be likened to switches suddenly being turned on, which previously have been turned off and vice versa, leading to unforeseen consequences. Unless we accept the reality that the human brain is like a finely tuned electrical instrument, we will not be able to understand what is happening. The Schumann Resonances are quasi-standing electromagnetic waves that exist in the Earth's 'electromagnetic' cavity (the space between the surface of the Earth and the Ionosphere). Like waves on a string, they are not present all the time, but have to be 'excited' to be observed. They are not caused by anything internal to the Earth, its crust or its core. They seem to be related to electrical activity in the atmosphere, particularly during times of intense lightning activity. They occur at several frequencies, specifically 7.8 (strongest), 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 (weakest) Hertz, with a daily variation of about ± 0.5 Hertz. So long as the properties of Earth's electromagnetic cavity remains about the same, these frequencies remain the same. Presumably there is some change due to the solar sunspot cycle as the Earth's ionosphere changes in response to the 11-year cycle of solar activity. The resonant properties of this terrestrial cavity were first predicted by the German physicist W. O. Schumann between 1952 and 1957, and first detected in 1954.The Urgent Need For Further Research Into The Schumann Resonance Effect Although Schumann Resonance could easily be confirmed by measurements at the time of its discovery, it is no longer so obvious due to our atmosphere being filled with manmade radiation noise at different frequencies. This is almost drowning out the natural signals - signals that have been there through aeons of evolution. It is possible that these signals act like a natural tuning fork, not just for the biological oscillators of the brain, but for all processes of life.With the advent of new wireless technology, in particular microwaves pulsed at frequencies close to Schumann Resonance as in mobile telephony, another threat is emerging. We may be creating an environment that is literally `out of tune' with Nature itself. And it is at this point that there is an urgent need for us to understand how everything alive responds to the most subtle changes in magnetic and electromagnetic fields surrounding us.There is a great need for independent research into the bio-compatibility between natural and manmade signals. By linking together the potential importance of Schumann Resonance and the dangers posed by manmade pulsed frequencies, it will become apparent that unless we find a way to use bio-compatible signals to power new technology, we may expose all life to dangers previously not encountered. We may have to pay a high price for this shortsightedness. Serious attention must now be paid to the possible biological role of standing waves in the atmosphere, so that we do not overlook the importance of oscillations in nature that may be central to consciousness and life itself. The late Dr Neil Cherry, a fierce opponent of the frequencies used in mobile telephony, has also focused on the importance of Schumann Resonance in his publications 'Schumann Resonances, a plausible biophysical mechanism for the human health effects of Solar/Geomagnetic Activity' (2002), and 'Human intelligence: The brain, an electromagnetic system synchronised by the Schumann Resonance signal' (2003). Professor R.Wever from the Max Planck Institute for Behavioural Physiology in Erling-Andechs, built an underground bunker which completely screened out magnetic fields. Student volunteers lived there for four weeks in this hermetically sealed environment. Professor Wever noted that the student's circadian rhythms diverged and that they suffered emotional distress and migraine headaches. As they were young and healthy, no serious health conditions arose, which would not have been the case with older people or people with a compromised immune system. After only a brief exposure to 7.8 Hz (the very frequency which had been screened out), the volunteers health stabilized again.The same complaints were reported by the first astronauts and cosmonauts, who, out in space, also were no longer exposed to the Schumann waves. Now modern spacecrafts are said to contain a device which simulates the Schumann waves.A Tuning Fork For Life Although the existence of the Schumann Resonance is an established scientific fact, there are very few scientists who are aware of the importance of this frequency as a tuning fork for Life. I propose that it is not merely a phenomenon caused by lightning in the atmosphere, but a very important electromagnetic standing wave, acting as background frequency and influencing biological oscillators within the mammalian brain.At the time when Schumann published his research results in the journal `Technische Physik', Dr Ankermueller, a physician, immediately made the connection between the Schumann resonance and the alpha rhythm of brainwaves. He found the thought of the earth having the same natural resonance as the brain very exciting and contacted Professor Schumann, who in turn asked a doctorate candidate to look into this phenomenon. This candidate was Herbert König who became Schumann's successor at Munich University. König demonstrated a correlation between Schumann Resonances and brain rhythms. He compared human EEG recordings with natural electromagnetic fields of the environment (1979) and found that the main frequency produced by Schumann oscillations is very close to the frequency of alpha rhythms.Dr König carried out further measurements of Schumann resonance and eventually arrived at a frequency of exactly 7.83 Hz, which is even more interesting, as this frequency is one which applies to mammals. For instance, septal driving of the hippocampal rhythm in rats has been found to have a minimum threshold at 7.7 Hz (Gray, 1982).This relationship has been explored by a number of investigators. For further information see Natural electromagnetic fields research on the h.e.s.e. project website.If organisms do in fact respond to, and perhaps depend on, electromagnetic fields as weak as that produced by Schumann resonance, this is of major significance for the development of present and future wireless technologies. Funding for research projects investigating the Schumann Resonance Effect is now being sought and scientists who support this call for research are invited to contact me by e-mail.

Presumably there is some change due to the solar sunspot cycle as the Earth's ionosphere changes in response to the 11-year cycle of solar activity. The resonant properties of this terrestrial cavity were first predicted by the German physicist W. O. Schumann between 1952 and 1957, and first detected in 1954.The Urgent Need For Further Research Into The Schumann Resonance Effect Although Schumann Resonance could easily be confirmed by measurements at the time of its discovery, it is no longer so obvious due to our atmosphere being filled with manmade radiation noise at different frequencies. This is almost drowning out the natural signals - signals that have been there through aeons of evolution. It is possible that these signals act like a natural tuning fork, not just for the biological oscillators of the brain, but for all processes of life.With the advent of new wireless technology, in particular microwaves pulsed at frequencies close to Schumann Resonance as in mobile telephony, another threat is emerging. We may be creating an environment that is literally `out of tune' with Nature itself. And it is at this point that there is an urgent need for us to understand how everything alive responds to the most subtle changes in magnetic and electromagnetic fields surrounding us.There is a great need for independent research into the bio-compatibility between natural and manmade signals. By linking together the potential importance of Schumann Resonance and the dangers posed by manmade pulsed frequencies, it will become apparent that unless we find a way to use bio-compatible signals to power new technology, we may expose all life to dangers previously not encountered. We may have to pay a high price for this shortsightedness. Serious attention must now be paid to the possible biological role of standing waves in the atmosphere, so that we do not overlook the importance of oscillations in nature that may be central to consciousness and life itself. The late Dr Neil Cherry, a fierce opponent of the frequencies used in mobile telephony, has also focused on the importance of Schumann Resonance in his publications 'Schumann Resonances, a plausible biophysical mechanism for the human health effects of Solar/Geomagnetic Activity' (2002), and 'Human intelligence: The brain, an electromagnetic system synchronised by the Schumann Resonance signal' (2003). Professor R.Wever from the Max Planck Institute for Behavioural Physiology in Erling-Andechs, built an underground bunker which completely screened out magnetic fields. Student volunteers lived there for four weeks in this hermetically sealed environment. Professor Wever noted that the student's circadian rhythms diverged and that they suffered emotional distress and migraine headaches. As they were young and healthy, no serious health conditions arose, which would not have been the case with older people or people with a compromised immune system. After only a brief exposure to 7.8 Hz (the very frequency which had been screened out), the volunteers health stabilized again.The same complaints were reported by the first astronauts and cosmonauts, who, out in space, also were no longer exposed to the Schumann waves. Now modern spacecrafts are said to contain a device which simulates the Schumann waves.A Tuning Fork For Life Although the existence of the Schumann Resonance is an established scientific fact, there are very few scientists who are aware of the importance of this frequency as a tuning fork for Life. I propose that it is not merely a phenomenon caused by lightning in the atmosphere, but a very important electromagnetic standing wave, acting as background frequency and influencing biological oscillators within the mammalian brain.At the time when Schumann published his research results in the journal `Technische Physik', Dr Ankermueller, a physician, immediately made the connection between the Schumann resonance and the alpha rhythm of brainwaves. He found the thought of the earth having the same natural resonance as the brain very exciting and contacted Professor Schumann, who in turn asked a doctorate candidate to look into this phenomenon. This candidate was Herbert König who became Schumann's successor at Munich University. König demonstrated a correlation between Schumann Resonances and brain rhythms. He compared human EEG recordings with natural electromagnetic fields of the environment (1979) and found that the main frequency produced by Schumann oscillations is very close to the frequency of alpha rhythms.Dr König carried out further measurements of Schumann resonance and eventually arrived at a frequency of exactly 7.83 Hz, which is even more interesting, as this frequency is one which applies to mammals. For instance, septal driving of the hippocampal rhythm in rats has been found to have a minimum threshold at 7.7 Hz (Gray, 1982).This relationship has been explored by a number of investigators. For further information see Natural electromagnetic fields research on the h.e.s.e. project website.If organisms do in fact respond to, and perhaps depend on, electromagnetic fields as weak as that produced by Schumann resonance, this is of major significance for the development of present and future wireless technologies. Funding for research projects investigating the Schumann Resonance Effect is now being sought and scientists who support this call for research are invited to contact me by e-mail.

AIR DATE: February 16, 2012 at 7PM ETFEATURED EXPERT: FEATURED TOPIC: “All Things Lipids (Cholesterol 101)” Episode 6 of “Ask The Low-Carb Experts” features the topic “All Things Lipids (Cholesterol 101)” with blogger and doctoral candidate in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Connecticut  where he will be graduating this Spring. He is the creator and maintainer of Cholesterol-and-Health.Com and is the author of two blogs, The Daily Lipid at Cholesterol-and-Health.Com and Mother Nature Obeyed at WestonAPrice.org. He is also a frequent contributor to Wise Traditions, the quarterly journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Chris is the author of five publications in peer-reviewed journals, including a letter to the editor of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology criticizing the conclusions of a widely publicized study about the effect of saturated fat on blood vessel function, and letter to the editor of the American Heart Journal arguing that the effect of cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors on vitamin E metabolism should be studied before these drugs are deemed safe for preventing heart disease, a hypothesis published in Medical Hypotheses about the molecular mechanism of vitamin D toxicity and the involvement of vitamins A and K in this mechanism, a pilot study in humans suggesting that vitamin E protects against some of the negative effects of sugar consumption published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, and a review published in Nutrition Reviews about the potential for green tea to prevent or treat nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases. Chris Masterjohn has thoroughly studied the impact of cholesterol on your health and the answers he has discovered might just surprise you. If you have questions about cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and more then this is the podcast for you. Here are some of the questions Chris addressed in this podcast: DARREL ASKS:My cholesterol has been high for quite a while. I was previously on Lipitor which made me feel pretty bad (old and feeble even though I’m neither) so I quit. This week my doctor got back my blood work and noticed my number was high (295) and insisted I go back on Lipitor. He said I was a ‘heart attack brewing’. I don’t want to and need some ammunition. Point me in the right direction. MARK ASKS:I have a senior lady that her doctor has recommended her to take statins for a while. She doesn’t want to go on them, and her doctor just ran an Lp(a) test and hers was at 80. I seem to recall that statins don’t really affect Lp(a) and it’s mostly genetic. I’m not sure of her triglyceride/HDL ratio at this time, but should she be worried? Seems that Lp(a) is only an issue if you have heart disease or a lot of inflammation. JOHN ASKS: http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2011/05/18/db11-0085 Question: Is MGmin LDL the silver bullet of atherosclerosis? I’ve read suggestions that small, dense LDL is the killer, but I see studies suggesting that large, fluffy LDL can also be atherogenic. JAMIE ASKS:In some countries (like Australia) you cannot get your cholesterol measured down to “small dense” and “large fluffy”. They only measure the basics, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL and Total cholesterol. From these numbers, is there a good ratio to indicate good health versus poor health? SHARON ASKS:My husband has high cholesterol which is made worse by another necessary medication he takes. Triglycerides were over 700; he is taking very high doses of statins, bring it to 600; We started Paleo (no sugars; no grains; full-fat dairy and meats) and blood results after two weeks showed them at 199. Is this possible to have such a dramatic change so quickly from this diet? If followup blood work shows continued improvement, what is the number that would get his doctor to take him off of the statins? SAM ASKS:I’m a 42-year-old male with little to no family history of heart disease. My latest VAP results include: Tot LDL-Chol Direct 167 H mg/dLTot. HDL-Cholesterol Dir. 52 mg/dLTot. VLDL-Cholesterol Dir. 23 mg/dLSum Total Cholesterol 241 H mg/dLTriglycerides-Direct 75 mg/dLTot. NonHDL Chol(LDL+VLDL) 189 H mg/dLTotal apoB100 – calc. 118 H mg/dLLP(a) Cholesterol 4.0 mg/dLIDL Cholesterol 23 H mg/dLReal LDL-Cholesterol 140 H mg/dLSum Total LDL-C 167 H mg/dLREAL-LDL Size Pattern A ARemnant Lipoprot(IDL+VLDL3) 37 H mg/dL My doctor insists I take a statin such as Lipitor. I say I may not need it. Which one of us is right? Also, is it possible that statins inhibit the formation of arterial plaque over time? PAUL ASKS:What are your thoughts on all the alarmism surrounding glycation and fructation? KAREN ASKS:I’m about to have blood work done to be underwritten for term life insurance. I’m concerned that my cholesterol levels may have elevated because I’ve only been LC’ing for about 9 months. If it comes back bad, do you have any advice for how to explain what’s going on to help mitigate the consequences? LEO ASKS:It’s been almost 2 years since going low carb. Before that time I was taking fenofibrate for almost 8 years because of very high trig (700 -380) and low HDL (37) because of eating SAD. Now my trig is 100 – 75, HDL is 57 and still improving without taking meds. I read that eating saturated fat and red wine will help increase HDL. At my last doctor visit he suggested in begin statins because my total cholesterol was 250 and my LDL was 148 and to see a cardiologist. I asked that he do the test for determining large and small LDL particles to which he replayed he was not qualified to request that test! I also mentioned to him that the LDL level is really a fictitious number gathered by the Friedewald equation. Would you suggest I see a cardiologist and check further? Would it be a good idea to request a CAC score, Lp(a) and test for density particles of LDL? WILLY ASKS:How are you? My question is what is Lp(a)’s role in heart disease and should we really even track it. As I recall Dr. Kurt Harris from the panu blog has what is considered a high level yet has a very low calcium score. While some on Dr. Davis heart scan blog have levels lower than his and suffer from high calcium scores or other cardiovascular issues. If we should be concerned with this lipid what is the best way to lower it? Niacin? Saturated Fats? Low Carb? I wonder if Lp(a) is just the new kid on the block for Big Pharma trying to keep the lipid hypothesis alive. VALERIE ASKS:Chris, In your most recent interview with Chris Kresser you indicate that a TC:HDL ratio of 4 might be cause for concern and should be evaluated. My husband and I just got our results back, our ratios are 4.3 and 4.6. We can rule out recovering from obesity and fatty liver disease. What do you advise we do if anything? Get retested to establish our averages? Without going into too much detail, we have been following a WAPF/Paleo diet for 4 years, we are healthy and fit, I am 47, my husband is 40. Next, I have in my notes a TC range of 180-250 as found in traditional cultures. Can you also provide a range for HDL and LDL? And last, what foods, herbs, supplements, and food preparation techniques would you advise to support a healthy LDL receptor uptake process? KYLE ASKS:There seems to be a growing interest in the blogosphere with the work of Dr. Ray Peat. A major tenet of Peat’s philosophy revolves around the toxicity of virtually any dose of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA)–both n3 and n6. Given your past work on EFAs and PUFAs in general, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Dr. Peat’s stance. LUKE ASKS:What is the relation of lipid volume in the blood and speed of blood flow in the arteries and the body in general? (e.g, the documentary “Supersize Me” made a big deal about animal fat causing slower measured blood flow) ELLEN ASKS:I believe higher cholesterol levels are healthier and protective against many illnesses. If my normal total cholesterol is around 205, and I make a diet change that has the effect of dropping my total cholesterol to 165, am I compromising the protective aspect of cholesterol? LDL is also lower at 92 and HDL has stayed about the same (55). Trigs are at 92. CRP is .75 and HbA1c is 5.5. MACKAY ASKS:Patient just came back with very high cholesterol, but sub markers were phenomenal. HDL 99Triglycerides 66HSCRP .4 Positive for celiac, although eats very little wheat. Total cholesterol 450. What could cause this? EDWARD ASKS:Regarding lab measurements…lipid panels: Cholesterol measurement – what is actually being measured in standard lipid profiles, and what is being estimated? Is LDL calculated based on your TG measurement? DEANNA ASKS:My stepdad has high cholesterol (mostly high Triglycerides) and has for many years—I have attached his lab report from last May—his numbers were better. Total cholesterol 252Triglycerides 534HDL 33Testosterone 235Free testosterone 8.9 He takes: 160mg Fenofibrate, Benicar, Lovaza, DHEA, Niacin, and just started taking Red Yeast Rice. My mother thought he was on a statin—but Fenofibrate and Lovaza aren’t statins are they? Are they just as bad? Haven’t heard much discussion on these meds. Filed Under: , , 

David Pearce, the British philosopher, activist and co-founder of the World Transhumanist Association, is today's featured guest. Topics include: Wireheading, recreational drugs, chewing coca leaves for micro-doses of cocaine, the abolition of suffering in all sentient life, veganism verses vegetarianism, why he is a founding member of the Order of Cosmic Engineers, the journal Medical Hypotheses, how he learned that he was a transhumanist, and how this lead to his co-founding of the World Transhumanist Association. David also describes some of his essays such as: The Good Drug Guide, Superhappiness, Utopian Surgery, The Wired Society, The Hedonistic Imperative, and his Critique of Huxley's Brave New World. His book-length manifesto The Hedonistic Imperative details how he believes the abolition of suffering can be accomplished in the coming decades through 'paradise engineering.' And he predicts that our descendants will enjoy genetically preprogrammed bliss that is orders of magnitude richer than anything accessible today. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the August 27, 2008 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 67 minutes] In addition to co-founding (with Nick Bostrom) the World Transhumanist Association, David Pearce also co-founded the Abolitionist Society and serves as its honorary president. He is currently the director of BLTC Research; he serves on the editorial review board of the scientific journal Medical Hypotheses; and he is a vegan and a transhumanist. (Wikipedia article which has many more links to his work.)
