The fundamental issue of consuming alcohol 🧵 THREAD
1. Alcohol drops and alters your redox and electron cycling in the mitochondria NAD/NADH
2. Alcohol metabolism causes very little water production in the cell = dehydration/dropped charge and induces size and shape alteration. Image "Alcohol exposure affects the mitochondrial structure, which became swollen and disaggregated, and the cristae were dissolved and disappeared."

I laugh at people consuming bananas in the UK and also people consuming salmon in the tropics.
You are violating and insulting your intelligence and ancestors - if you think they're "healthy". I am not saying they are good or bad food.
Remove your emotions.
I am implying you think critically.

Magnesium oMg - If you take it, read this THREAD:

"In principle, the relative Mg2+ uptake is higher when the mineral is ingested in multiple low doses throughout the day compared to a single, large intake of Mg2+." Image The above leads to a more food-focused approach choosing rich magnesium foods at every opportunity.
Ironically:
"factors impairing Mg2+ uptake inc high doses of other minerals, partly fermentable fibres, non-fermentable fibres (e.g., cellulose, lignin), phytate and oxalate,"

"Sugar feeds candida" BUT so do exogenous amino acids.
"nutrient-deprived C. albicans cells catabolize amino acids as a carbon source, excreting the amino nitrogen as ammonia to raise environmental pH and stimulate morphogenesis, thus directly contributing to pathogenesis. True flexing.
"Candida albicans, which is both the most common fungal commensal of humans and the most important fungal pathogen of humans, thrives in most of these sites and is highly tolerant to a wide range of environmental pH conditions, from pHs of <2 to pHs of >10."

Your Dr or nutritionist should be asking YOU, "Do you pitch a tent in the morning" 🍆 for cardiovascular health prevention.
Oppose the details of cholesterol politics with the food system + pharma + uneducated Drs. Patients with ED had
- significantly higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels (2.62 vs 1.03 mg/l p < 0.001)
- Flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery was more impaired in patients with ED than in controls (2.36 vs 3.92, p < 0.001).

Erectile dysfunction = poor health.

- 22% in 2001 in the US in a 10,000 male sample size
- 52% in men aged 40–70 years in the US Cardiovascular health and erectile function are largely connected to the pathogenic pathway of endothelial dysfunction, related to impaired bioactivity of the nitric oxide (NO) signalling pathway!

Less SKIN IN THE GAME.

There are other factors at play not just NO that said.

Camu Camu or Ascorbic acid for Vitamin C:
"C.C has more powerful antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities than a daily intake of 1050 mg of Ascorbic acid (Vit C)."
How?
C.C contains antioxidative substances, including the known presence of carotenoids + anthocyanins. My preferred vitamin C supplement is this one:

Sunlight and cholesterol / cardiovascular concern: A thread 🧵
- 🇺🇸 studies: the death rate from coronary heart disease decreased w/ increasing altitude of residence
- 🇬🇧 studies show a clear regression in latitude, blood cholesterol increasing w/ distance from the equator Cholesterol levels are related to solar exposure and overall health, not solely dietary or medication deficiencies.
"Seasonal variation of blood cholesterol is due to the direct effect of sunlight on the skin."

Suncream history lesson. (A thread)
Ancient Greeks used olive oil for this purpose, and ancient Egyptians used extracts of rice, jasmine, and lupine plants, whose products are still used in skin care today.
Then 1938: A Swiss chemistry student, Franz Greiter gets sunburned while climbing Mount Piz Buin and s,ets out to invent an effective sunscreen.

"Brain infection with P. gingivalis is not a result of poor dental care following the onset of dementia or a consequence of late-stage disease, but is an early event that can explain the pathology found in middle-aged individuals before cognitive decline." "P. gingivalis bacterial load can be detected in the CSF of clinical AD patients, providing further evidence of P. gingivalis infection of the CNS."

How to protect yourself from nnEMF (Thread)

1. Distance
2. Poor signal then avoid use
3. Don't live near a base station
4. Airplane mode ON when not needed
5. Turn OFF location services
6. Move out of urban jungle
7. Use wired headphones
8. Avoid use in younger generations 1.
"The intensity of EMR (power density) varies with the distance from the source according to the inverse square law" offering partial mitigation the further you're away from the source.

Synthetic vitamins are trash.
"High folic acid maternal intake to adverse metabolic and behavioral perturbations in offspring, suggesting that alterations in methylation and inheritable epigenetic changes can be precipitated by folic acid supplementation " "Christensen et al., in a mouse model, reported that folic acid supplementation led to significant declines in mRNA expression and protein activity of MTHFR."

Got iodine.
"state-of-the-art quantum dynamics simulations provide evidence for tunneling in hydrogen-bond
rearrangements in the iodide–dihydrate complex and show that it can be controlled through isotopic substitutions." "the iodide ion weakens the neighboring water-water hydrogen bond, leading to faster water reorientation than in the analogous water trimer. These faster dynamics are apparently at odds with the slowdown observed in the first hydration shell
of iodide in solution." Free OH

Humans evolved from the sea.
"DHA supplementation increased plasma adiponectin secretion by 2·4-fold as early as 4 d after the initiation of the DHA-rich diet feeding. The adiponectin concentration remained 1·6-fold higher after the 16 d washout period." "Plasma leptin levels were significantly lower after 4 d of feeding with DHA. These effects were associated with a significant increase in DHA incorporation in phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine of all analyzed tissues (liver, heart and white adipose tissues)."

"Sunlight provides the exercise to expand your lifespan." @DrJackKruse By building EZ water inside your cells to act as a faraday cage that stores energy and information for adaptation, reproduction & survival.

When this synchronized rhythm is missing = disease and dysfunction appear.

"Vitamin D and Allergic Disease: Sunlight at the End of the Tunnel?"
Is taking a vitamin D supplement wise? I think not.
Review thread below. "Introduction of vit D sups coincides with the rise in allergic disease..
Highlights that the potency & pharmacokinetics of endogenous and exogenous vit D may be different & that serum 25(OH)D, sun exposure & oral intake should be considered independently of one another."
