Soya Milk

Yesterday I mixed some soya milk with a banana and a little honey in a blender and drank it. Today shall we say there were some "consequences". 

I asked AI the following question:

Can the calcium carbonate added to soya milk or other liquids cause constipation?

Yes, calcium carbonate, when added to liquids like soy milk, can potentially cause constipation in some individuals. While calcium supplements are generally well-tolerated, calcium carbonate is known to be more likely to cause constipation than other forms of calcium like calcium citrate. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Calcium Carbonate and Constipation:

Calcium carbonate is a common form of calcium supplement, but it can sometimes lead to constipation, gas, and bloating, according to the Mayo Clinic. 

Why Calcium Carbonate?

Calcium carbonate requires stomach acid for proper absorption, and individuals with lower stomach acid levels (especially older adults) may experience more digestive issues with this form. 

Soy Milk and Calcium Fortification:

Soy milk is often fortified with calcium, and calcium carbonate is a common choice for fortification. This means that consuming calcium-fortified soy milk could potentially contribute to constipation in susceptible individuals. 

So it would seem that I need to avoid soya milk that is fortified with calcium carbonate. After all, this compound makes up the bulk of chalk, limestone and marble. This form of calcium is best avoided as this video explains and Calcium Citrate seems preferable. It would be best to take soy milk without any fortification at all.

Deconditioning

I just watched a Dr. Suneel Dhand video in which he talks about \( \textbf{deconditioning} \) which can be explained as follows:

In medical terms, "deconditioning" refers to the decline in physical function resulting from inactivity, prolonged bedrest, or a sedentary lifestyle. It encompasses a range of negative changes in the body, including decreased muscle strength and size, reduced endurance, impaired cardiovascular function, and even mental and social consequences. 

Elaboration:

Physical Impact:

Deconditioning leads to a noticeable loss of physical fitness, including reduced strength and endurance. Muscles atrophy (shrink) and become weaker, making it difficult to perform even basic activities of daily living. Cardiovascular fitness also declines, meaning the heart and lungs may struggle to deliver oxygen to the body during exertion. 

Systematic Changes:

The effects of deconditioning are widespread and can impact various systems:

• Musculoskeletal: Muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and loss of flexibility are common.  

• Cardiovascular: Reduced heart efficiency, blood clots, and orthostatic intolerance (dizziness upon standing) can occur.  

• Respiratory: Reduced lung capacity and increased shortness of breath.  

• Digestive: Changes in appetite, constipation, and other gastrointestinal problems.  

• Urinary: Loss of bladder control and urinary tract infections.  

Cognitive and Social Impacts:

Deconditioning can also affect mental and social well-being. Individuals may experience confusion, depression, and decreased social interaction due to limited mobility and reduced participation in activities. 

Causes:

Deconditioning can be triggered by various factors, including:

• Extended Bedrest: Patients recovering from surgery or illness may experience deconditioning due to prolonged inactivity.  

• Sedentary Lifestyle: A lack of physical activity can lead to a gradual decline in fitness.  

• Chronic Illness: Conditions like heart failure or respiratory diseases can limit activity and contribute to deconditioning.  

• Space Travel: The effects of weightlessness on the body in space, including muscle atrophy and bone density loss, are a significant example of deconditioning. 

Prevention and Reversal:

While deconditioning can have a significant impact on health, it's often reversible with a gradual increase in physical activity and appropriate rehabilitation programs. Regular exercise and other interventions can help regain strength, endurance, and overall fitness. 

I remember when I was 13 and was in hospital for a week. I had a minor operation and nowadays would have spent one night in hospital. However, movement wasn't encouraged at all and I spent most of my day lying on the bed. I couldn't barely walk on my release. Imagine the impact of a week in hospital for a person in their 70s, 80s or 90s who is bed-ridden. 

As the good doctor says in his video, you should spend as little time in hospital as possible and while you're there you should try to move around as much as possible. For the elderly this is crucial.

Super Jab for Cancer

Here's the good news (source):

Thousands of patients will benefit from a new cancer jab for more than a dozen types of the disease, with the NHS the first in Europe to offer the new injection.

The health service is rolling out an injectable form of immunotherapy, nivolumab, which means patients can receive their fortnightly or monthly treatment in 5 minutes instead of up to an hour via an IV drip.

The roll-out will save over a year’s worth of treatment time for patients and NHS teams annually – enabling patients to spend less time in hospital while freeing up staff capacity to deliver more appointments and treatments.

The new jab can be used to treat 15 cancer types, including skin cancer, bladder, and oesophagus, and it is estimated around 1,200 patients in England per month could benefit.

This follows approval from the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) today.

While it's currently being used for people who have been diagnosed with cancer, what's the bet that it will soon be recommended prophylatically for everybody. Turbo cancers are exploding around the world following the Covid-19 jabs and now here's another jab to put a stop to all that. Inevitably "secret ingredients" will be added to the immunotherapy mix to increase its potency. It may not be safe but it will be effective.

ONE JAB GIVETH AND ONE JAB TAKETH AWAY

Any drug or treatment being pushed by the NHS should be regarded with deep suspicion but it could be that a fear campaign is about to be launched in the UK and elsewhere that will entice the gullible into baring their arms. The mere mention of the word "jab" should strike fear into the hearts of the those who remain healthy. One way or another the depopulation agenda will be implemented by a combination of accelerated death rates and surreptitious sterilisation.

Ivermectin Paste

Now this was an interesting tweet in which Ivermectin paste is recommended for the treatment of skin cancer. As he says, the paste is FDA approved for the treatment of Rosacea which is "a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face, causing redness, flushing, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It's a common condition, often appearing after middle age, and is more prevalent in fair-skinned individuals. While there's no cure, rosacea can be managed with various treatments and lifestyle changes."

However, the veterinary version referred to as a horse paste is stronger (1.87% versus 1%) and probably cheaper but care needs to be taken with the dosage. I was thinking that this paste could be useful in treating what I referred to as my protuberance (see posts titled An Odd Protuberance and Protuberance Gone). In the end, it went away of its own accord. I also have an area on my back that is quite sensitive and that I usually keep covered with a bandaid. This area might respond favorably to the application of this paste.

Of course, Ivermectin in combination with Fenbendazole is recommended in the treatment of internal cancers but I'd not heard of Ivermectin paste. It's these sorts of treatments that I need to be familiar with as alternatives to recommendations by the Medical Mafia should I ever need them.

Here is an abstract from a comprehensive paper published about Ivermectin in 2011 (before it was demonised in the treatment of COVID a decade later):

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world. Originally introduced as a veterinary drug, it kills a wide range of internal and external parasites in commercial livestock and companion animals. It was quickly discovered to be ideal in combating two of the world’s most devastating and disfiguring diseases which have plagued the world’s poor throughout the tropics for centuries. It is now being used free-of-charge as the sole tool in campaigns to eliminate both diseases globally. It has also been used to successfully overcome several other human diseases and new uses for it are continually being found. This paper looks in depth at the events surrounding ivermectin’s passage from being a huge success in Animal Health into its widespread use in humans, a development which has led many to describe it as a “wonder” drug.

Back on the Band

For the first time in over a month I did my leg strengthening exercises using my make-shift stretch band. This has always been an important part of my very limited exercise regime but my health has been so fragile over the past month that I eshewed even that basic exercise. However, I felt strong enough to resume but I have to be circumspect and not overdo it. A couple of days ago I actually went for a walk around the block for the first time in well over a month. Afterwards I felt very tired but apart from the fatigue there were no consequences.

Of course it is still a mystery as to what was wrong with me. It may have been the sourdough bread and even if it wasn't, I don't want to risk a recrudescence of my earlier symptoms. Sourdough bread is definitely off the menu now and forever. If I do suffer a recurrence of my symptoms then the culprit is most likely BAM but I'm hoping that it's not. Meanwhile I can enjoy my good health and keep my fingers crossed.

My departure to Australia is looking more like mid-June now which is close to the June 22nd danger date that I predicted earlier in the year. Of course by that time the biting cold of a Melbourne winter may have taken its toll and I'll be sick as predicted. However, my departure is at least a month away so let's see what happens in the interim. Hopefully I can stay healthy.

Off Again

I guess it was a no brainer. Given The Voice in my December dream, the aspects in my natal chart and the predictions of Sabina and Ian, a trip to Australia was inevitable. A medical emergency here would be very costly and perhaps fatal whereas in Australia I have medical cover at the very least. I'll probably head off in late May.

I'm not looking forward to the cold and it's not lost on me that, given my experiences last winter in Melbourne, I could get very ill as a result of simply being back in that ice-cube of a house. That would be ironic of course if my relocating became the cause of my illness. It remains a possibility.

Currently my GIT has still not returned to normal even though I'm suffering no discomfort. I remain quite weak and even minimal physical activity tires me out. I'll get a blood test at the very least soon after I arrive which may or may not indicate something amiss. The SeHCAT test for BAM is also a possibility along with an ultrasound of my chest cavity to gauge the extent of my thymoma (if my self diagnosis proves true). Who knows? I may sit and do nothing instead.

The thought of interacting with the medical mafia certainly discourages me from taking any definitive action but at least I'll be better placed than I would be in Indonesia should some catastrophe overtake me. And who knows, it might. Anything is on the cards with Uranus on the loose. Certainly travel. Transiting Ceres and Neptune are conjunct my natal Mercury with Saturn fast approaching. I'm contemplating a departure date at the moment of Tuesday evening, May 20th.

Is Sourdough the Real Culprit

Having not eaten sourdough bread for a few days, I really felt on Sunday that I had turned a corner. However, on Sunday evening I ended up drinking an excessive amount of quite strong tea at a local restaurant and I've not been the same since. I felt bad almost immediately and all of my GIT disturbances returned. Here I am on Tuesday night and I'm back to square one.

I need to quickly settle on a diet that agrees with me. Perhaps in the short term I should eschew coffee and tea altogether. Anyway, while I was in the belief that sourdough was culprit, I asked Gemini to compose a poem playing on words with "sourdough" being transposed to "doursough" and making use of the term "enteron" as a more poetic alternative to GIT or gastro-intestinal tract. Here is what is came up with in five quatrains with an a a b b rhyming scheme.

DOURSOUGH

“The baker's boast, a tangy treat,

A sourdough, so good to eat.

But in my enteron, a shift,

A three-week storm, a troubling gift.

 

No gentle breeze, no zephyr mild,

But something fierce, distinctly riled.

A heavy air, a troubled sigh,

As days and nights just drifted by.

No longer "sour," a change is due,

A moniker more stark and true.

Let trumpets sound, let voices call,

This bread henceforth is doursough all!

A "dour sough" through my inner space,

Disrupting comfort, time, and grace.

Though lauded for its wholesome claim,

For me, it played a different game.

So farewell, sourdough, so grand,

Hello, doursough, across the land

(of my own gut, at least you see),

A potent lesson learned by me!”
