Disrupted patterns in our brain waves, particularly the balance of gamma and beta waves, has been observed in ADHD, schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, autism, Alzheimer's dementia, Major Depressive Disorder, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's motor disease. These conditions share malfunction in the brain's 'drum section', the parvalbumin interneurons, which seem to set the rhythm for gamma waves. Dissociative Identity Disorder reveals disruption in brain wave patterns, but the malfunction seems to be more regionally specific and caused by changes in signaling from the brain's 'band conductor', the somatostatin interneurons. This suggests that rational function, 'consciousness', relates to our having steady brain waves, which are coordinated across functional regions of the brain in order for us to 'pay attention' or make rational decisions, or simply stay awake and alert. Nutrient support and avoiding some dietary chemicals can help improve the balanced signaling that we need for improved functioning. Rhythmic exercise or listening to synchronizing music or frequencies, while avoiding chaotic or desynchronizing rhythms may also be a direct help, supporting dysfunctional parvalbumin interneurons that may no longer be 'playing a steady beat'. Calming or helps detox: Electrolytes: magnesium and adequate potassium and sodium without an excess of calcium supplementation; Amino acid support: glycine, Dimethylglycine, serine, taurine; Avoid excess glutamate which is common in food seasonings (MSG and many others) and it is naturally rich in tomatoes and cheese. B-vitamins: methyl folate (not in excess, 400 mcg) and B12, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, choline, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, and betaine may be needed for some, but my own gene differences mean I need glycine/DMG, and avoid excess betaine (also called TMG, tri-methyl glycine). Rhythmic exercise and sunshine help normalize brain waves and support mitochondrial function. Problems with mitochondria are linked to disruption in cognitive and physical health and problems with the somatostatin and parvalbumin cells.

Scroll down for Structured Water information. Mental and physical health are treated differently by the medical system, but we need physical health in order to have good mental health, AND it is also true that negative mental health can worsen our physical health. Inflammation occurs from physical work or strenuous exercise AND also occurs from an emotional upset whether anger or grief or even a lot of excitement. Both our physical and mental health are connected at the neck, connected with our circulatory system and energy flow. EMF or an excess of blue light from digital screens or at night increases inflammation by allowing calcium to overflood our cells, similarly to excitotoxins in the diet (glutamates or aspartame and Neotame artificial sweeteners). Black-out curtain darkness is best for our circadian health and night-time production of melatonin and then get out in natural sunshine in the morning for a good circadian start to the day. Epsom salt soaks provide magnesium and sulfate topically, bypassing a stressed gut that cannot absorb magnesium well due to the Autonomic Nervous System's fear response reducing digestive function. We can't run away from a Saber Tooth Tiger as well when energy is being used to digest the last meal. Inflammation from EMF or an excess of blue light uses up magnesium and it is needed to block the excitotoxic entry of calcium into our cells. Changing our habits takes some work, but the protection can be worth having a better mood and better long-term health. Inflammation is disruptive to our quantum energy and mental calm. We need to slow down from the fast pace of modern life and give our body time to clear out toxins and waste from the day. Drinking structured water beverages or just adequate water helps, along with walking and other moderate stretching exercises. Muscle movement helps clear out toxins and deliver nutrients to the body. Structured Water: The image is of polished shungite in a glass bottle, leave overnight or in the sun for a day in order to 'structure' the water. It does not filter out impurities, but will align the water molecules energetically and can seem slightly slippery or thicker in the mouth and seem 'crystal clear' ... like fresh mountain spring water. The energetic alignment is 'quantum coherence' of the water and that can seem soothing to the mouth and gut.

"Everybody's Fancy" is a song by Fred Rogers which he performed on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood children's public TV show. He was gifted in imagination and in sharing it with others in person or through the new-fangled medium of television. He started in the very early days of programming. The song is about boys and girls and how our bodies are different but equally just great the way they are. I added a few stanzas for our modern times and think the song is still very relevant. I do not have Copyright permission but encourage you to sing along in the spirit of neighborliness and within the guidelines of Fair Use. The song is sung by Fred Rogers on the show many times over the years and a clip shows him from early years to later years - as cheerful and kind as ever. See: Was Mister Rogers a TERF? - by Mickey Z. - Post-Woke (substack.com) "Everybody's fancy", Fred Rogers, Lyrics with six additional lines by me: Some are fancy on the outside, Some are fancy on the inside, Chorus: Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine, Your body's fancy and so is mine. Stanza 2: Boys are boys from the beginning, Girls are girls right from the start. Stanza 3: (Only) girls can grow up to be the mommies, (Only) boys can grow up to be the daddies. Stanza 4: I think you're a special person and I like your ins and outsides. -> Copyright Fred Rogers estate. New Stanza 5: We grow up to be the workers. We grow up to be the leaders. New Stanza 6: Some may feel different on their insides. Some may feel different on their outsides. New Stanza 7: Some may feel like running bases. Some may feel like playing house. Everybody's happy, everybody's glad, That their body's healthy, and not a fad. Repeat chorus between each stanza except 7, and repeat Stanza 4 again at the end followed by the chorus again. *An initial version is included with the word 'Only' as Mr. Rogers sang it. It fits the tune better without the word and modern times too - slightly less abrasive without it. A second version with a new Stanza 7 chorus is included as an opening in case people don't want to hear about endocrine disrupting chemicals - the trauma part is in the second half though.

Russel L Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, has recently published an overview of the COVID-19 policies and their effects on health and death. The details are grim and lengthy but will be familiar to those who have been following alternative news sources for the last two years. Others may be surprised by the devastating story as it is described.  Truth is important, and making it available as an audio version seemed important to me, for people who would rather listen to a long article than read it.  Link to the article pdf: https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/11548/SNI-13-167.pdf Link to an article about the bad batches: Vaccine batches vary systematically in toxicity and are distributed to unsuspecting Americans by three companies: researcher.

Let appetite become your educated guide towards good health. Our taste bud receptors are found not only on our tongue, but also in many organs and cell types throughout the body. They sense our body's nutrient levels and signal our brain to let us know we should be hungry for more of something.  There are five main types of taste receptors - sweet, salty, sour/acidic, bitter, and umami - a protein savory flavor of glutamate and a few other free amino acid activators of that type of chemical receptor.  Bitter taste receptors also can perform medicinal functions when they are located in other types of cells than on the tongue. If we pay attention to what foods and tastes help us feel better we can learn over time to eat what we need in the amounts that our body needs and is satisfied with - because its needs were met - the hunger, the craving was fulfilled. When we don't know what we are hungry for, specifically, we may end up over-eating, nibbling small amounts of many things as we subconsciously seek a food that will supply the nutrients we need at that moment. On a sweaty hot day it might be salt. After a difficult test or problem, it might be a sweet to replenish the brain energy levels.  Transcript: Salt to Taste! The episode Crankiness - hot and thirsty health has more about how dehydration of water or salt can affect our mood negatively. The series Hangry & Hanxious Part Two discusses glutamate and other factors that may increase a bad mood later in the day from overstimulation. See the episode Fear and Immunity for more about Covid and nutrients that help immune function including citrus peel.  More information about: Citrus Peel The episode series Problem Solving and Terpenes includes more about geraniol and how tasting foods may lead to what our bodies need.  Disclaimer: Opinions are my own and the information is provided for educational purposes within the guidelines of fair use.

Ether may be the life energy known as Chi  or prana. It flows like water and is attracted to water. Ether is part of us and everything, and is throughout the universe. It has been measured in a few different ways by scientists in the area of astrophysics and in life sciences in humans and plants. It can be seen as blueish light in wet sand occasionally and may be the healing force in a wet sand or mud pack.  Physics took a wrong turn in 1887 and is still on that wrong path of thinking that the long standing theory of ether filling space was proven wrong - null.  No, zero effect was not measured, simply a smaller force of energy was measured than the 1887 experiment hypothesis had stated - so null results. Null means hypothesis was not proven, it does not mean 'zero'.  See Physics took a wrong turn in 1887 and the meaning of null. - The first in a short series. Dielectric orgone blankets. Happy Birthday Einstein; Gravity. Ether theory applied - re-greening an African nation, Eritrea. Ether Theory? Our ticket to outer space?. Love and hate - we are a mixture and ether may respond in quantum ways responding to positive or negative thought - proof of that? No, Do we need more negativity though? No. Universal consciousness may involve quantum entanglement of free pairs of quarks - which can contain a holographic amount of information about a thing - or living being possibly. The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science, a book by Thomas Troward includes similar ideas about ether and  the mental power of positive thinking. It was written in the 1920s before ether theory was completely dismissed due to Albert Einstein's work on relativity and gravity.  Read online (gutenberg.org).

Ether energy fills our universe and us and everything. It may be the force behind gravity with two vectors of flow supporting a planet or moon in addition to the orbit path around the sun. Ether energy can be healing and is attracted to water and coalesces and spirals in a flowing water like pattern. We can see the path in spiral Nebula in outer space.  Love and gratitude is appreciated, the energy force seems to also be our collective unconscious - universal oneness understood by many to be a loving god. Connection to others is love, is heaven-like, and disconnection, disruption, is the chaos of entropy - lack of coalescing and flow. Ether energy that is exposed to radiation can become sickening. Weather patterns include the force and flow of ether energy and drought is likely when it becomes stagnant or full or radiation effects.  See the most recent series of posts on this site for more information on the topic: earth-ocean.info. There is likely an energy form after death and it may involve free pairs of quarks and any quark entanglements - connections we made during life, whether positive or negative. Consciousness in the out-of-body energy form has been described by one writer as more diffuse, less specifically you and your memories, we'll find out eventually - or we won''t. Belief, faith, may also be important in addition to gratitude. Love connects, love organizes, heaven on earth and in our hearts and minds and souls. Hate is disruptive, disconnecting and may also become embedded in our minds. Practicing more positive statements may help to embed those in our minds and lead to more pleasant feelings in our mind and body. This episode is singing - Ether Pop - a new genre! Peace and love to you.

Fear in a fearful situation is sensible but can become disabling if it causes you to freeze into indecision or panic and make poor decisions.  The current risk of infection from the novel SARS-CoV-2 strain of a coronavirus is real and fearful, especially for people working in essential services where there is a lot of interaction with others, and for people in high risk groups for having a more severe case if infected. The simple point that I find comforting is knowing that when well nourished the body's own defenses against infection are pretty good, and our immune function can be aided by additional nutrients and phytonutrients. It's okay to cry. Emotional tears seem to help remove some stress hormones - so let the tears flow when you can. (aao.org) Eating foods with B vitamins, vitamin C and other antioxidants can help replace the excess nutrients you are using to detoxify stress chemicals.  Image: Hands held in the shape of a heart with rays of sunlight shining over a mountain landscape.

Fear of infection is instinctual. We have a natural reaction to get away from anything that seems disgusting - which includes slimy, sticky, yellowish-green things that may be reminding us of spoiled food which can be a risk of infectious disease, or of nasal mucus which can also be a source of infection. Fear may also tend to make us pretend there is no risk which wouldn't help us survive or a fear reaction of fighting might occur or trying to seek someone to blame - which also wouldn't necessarily help with survival if a problem is already present. What is the percent controllable - what can you directly do about a problem?  A sense of control can help reduce stress levels while a sense of helplessness may lead to freezing up in a fear response of watchful inaction, which might help avoid a predator that senses motion but wouldn't help against an infectious microbe. Healthy habits are within our percent controllable and healing foods can help give the body what it needs to fight infection. Many healing foods and phytonutrients were mentioned in the Nrf2 - The Grocery List episode. Image - an orange peeled with a sharp knife so the white pith is left on the sweet orange wedges.

The Double Bonus episode, Nrf2 - The Grocery List, has an overview of the health benefits and an extended list of foods that may help reduce inflammation by inhibiting the inflammatory pathways and increasing immune function and beneficial antioxidant production. The Bonus episode, Love Flavor & Fragrance, includes beneficial foods that help reduce inflammation - which may help reduce obsessive thinking and make forgiving - letting go  - a little easier, by reducing excess calcium and NMDA receptor activity.  Too much inflammation can lead to over-activity of NMDA receptors which can cause excess dopamine which may cause compulsive thoughts or behaviors, (willie 2014), and over the long term may be part of the degenerative problem leading to Alzheimer's Dementia. (Sil 2015) The Trailer, Love & Forgiveness, has a Goal for the day - love forgiveness, and a wish for a Happy Valentine's Day! and hope for everyone to have an enjoyable day, today and everyday! A funny quote by Mark Twain was also shared - “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” - so funny, so sad, and so true - it turns out.

Being allowed to be curious may help with problem solving. It takes trial and error, repetition with slight variations, to work on a solution. It can take persistence over years or even generations to work on solutions for long term problems.  This Bonus section, Forest Bathing, Terpenes, and Stress Reduction, includes more about terpenes & the benefits of spending time in the forest, called forest bathing, "bathing" in the moist air of the forest, with the aroma of terpenes that vary with the types of trees. The terpenes are absorbed when inhaled and can help ill health or asthma and difficulty breathing. Terpenes also have stress reducing properties of the fragrant chemical group. 3 part episode: The Trailer section, Problem Solving and Terpenes, expands on the story of my toddler appetite for houseplants - it may have been problem solving at a toddler level. Genetics was needed to help solve the problem for me, fragrant, and bitter tasting, terpenes in the houseplant may have attracted toddler me to sample them.
