Canada's new conservative movement is a fascinating amalgam of hippies, workers, civil-rights defenders, the fiercely independant, the straight-laced and the faithful.

I must confess to a sense of strangeness entering this house, though I'm certain this is where I need to be. The 'Conservative' mantle never settled comfortably on me. When I was young, I was far too liberal to consider it. Then, as I aged, I stayed too liberal but also strangely became too conservative to relate. None of the major parties spoke to me.

I've been barred from every restaurant, theater, pub, and club. I can't take my daughter to the public pool or skate rink, or almost any public amenity. I've been barred from every plane, train and chartered boat, and from leaving my own country. My Prime Minister, who doesn't know me from Adam, called me a racist and mysoginst for declining a medical treatment. He told the country I was "taking up space" and a danger to children.

In 'The Body Electric', Dr. Becker observes that cancer's three chief identifying characteristics are cellular de-differentiation, high reproduction rate, and metabolic priority: all also hallmarks of regeneration and embryonic development. Becker theorizes that orderly regeneration and embryonic development are guided by a kind of 'triangulation' in a matrix of the body's electromagnetic 'environment', with 'coordinates' provided to cells by local current direction and strength, voltage, field strength, etc.

I wanted to collect my thoughts on the study released earlier in the week by @KevinH_PhD. It turned into this blog-sized thread.

The study compared a high-carb, plant-based diet to a low-carb, omnivorous diet in a 4 wk. cross-over study.

The results created quite a stir.

1/ Participants were randomly assigned to a plant-based diet or low-carb diet for two weeks. They then switched to the other diet for the following two weeks.

Both groups lost weight but participants on the plant-based diet ate less and lost more fat, despite higher insulin.
