Wonderful Nature again, CSF after hours circulation, and Mary Baker Eddy...
Sure, she was a wacko, neither physician nor scientist, but her Christian Science movement had much good to say. Reading centers every where, and a huge modern head building right in the center of Boston. And unlike the Mormons, they don't send their overly scrubbed young men out in pairs to bug us at home with the big book jive. And after all, even Ghandi had his kinks, and Jesus wasn't above having his homies whack off the ear of a Roman soldier, now and again. But how about that cerebral spinal fluid? It seems that the normal circulation from brain internal ventricles, down to the spinal cord central canal, and back, before reabsorbtion, isn't continuous. Instead, there are strong flow pulses, of some 20 seconds, all night long. While we dream, peebles! Thoughts are it's a natural mechanical-chemical cleaning process, to rid the central nervous system of toxins. Perhaps even Beta amyloid and Tau proteins, for prevention of dementias. Healing is more often less active interventions, than simply getting out of the way of the body's amazing ability to self heal. Wonderful Nature.
"SOUND" KNOWLEDGE
Talking vibrations
Our Human body contains 70^%+ liquid
Every cell “communicates” with the other cells through the network of liquids
Ever cell has its own Electro magnetic field EMF
During the life time experiences, cultural and religious believes the magnetic field in its origin becomes “polluted” out of tune, dis-harmonized when we grow up
SOUND DO NOT HEAL
The physical body (entity Earth) is the container of 70%+ liquid and one of the best transporters of (sound) vibration. The music and/or sound we hear with the ears brings images into the imagination and has its effects on the mental body ( entity Fire) The vibration of the sounds that are coming at us through the Air. Penetrates through the skin into the container (as a pebble thrown in pond) expressed in feelings in the emotional body ( entity Water)
SOUND DOES HARMONIZE
And can re-activate the self-healing power that every human has. Available, when used with awareness and intention of the sound creator
Every cell, every organ in the human body has the memory of its original state (vibration number)
Any stress or pain in the system causes disharmony. As a pollution in the magnetic field.
The sound vibrations created with the gongs (by the method I use) are carrying all vibration numbers of cells and organs, transported through the liquid system of the body.
As a massage from inside out, touching the tension spots and making them more flexible again.
Cells and organs recognize their original “tone” and start to resonate back to their “number” of origin
ALL THAT EXISTS IS ENERGY IN MOTION (E-MOTION)
After 20 years self study as sound creator this became my believe and truth at the moment

It's my blog... but let's talk about you!
Being a member on CS does have it's benefits, but I never imagined that I would have my own fan club. At first, I started deleting comments of personal attacks. I changed my mind and allowed them to remain. To my surprise, a moderator for CS came by, removed the offensive comments and left a calling card they had stopped by!
I'm okay with that...
So if it's your MO ( that's modus operandi in detective talk ) to drop a turd on my blog... be my guest!

Sunscreens - are they safe ????
They are applied to the skin. But it turns out that they don't stay there.
While the largest organ we have, skin is composed of layers of a semipermeable membrane.
So, instead, what we put on the skin can be absorbed by the body and even get into the bloodstream.
Since they are regulated as a cosmetic, toxicology tests on the effects of the body are limited. Thus, we really don't know if they might be doing more harm than good.

Sunscreen Chemicals Soak All the Way Into Your Bloodstream
By now, you’ve probably been taught to gird your sun-starved skin for battle with cancer-causing cosmic rays every time you go outside. Choose a spray, choose a lotion, but by heavens, choose something! Legions of doctors, parents, and YouTube beauty influencers are unanimous on this point. But with sunscreen application evolving from a week or two at the beach every year to a constant daily slather, US health regulators want to know more about how all those photoprotective chemicals interact with people’s skin.
If they sink into tissues and get absorbed into the bloodstream, that could be a problem. Then, like other over-the-counter drugs the Food and Drug Administration oversees, sunscreens should be studied to make sure they don’t mess up people’s hormones, affect their reproductive systems, or cause cancer. Such safety testing has never been done on the active ingredients in sunscreen, because those chemicals were approved decades ago, before anyone suspected they could be absorbed into the body. Now we know it’s more than just a suspicion.
Today, researchers at the FDA revealed the results of a small clinical trial designed to test how four of the most common sun-filtering molecules on the market behave after they’ve been sprayed on and rubbed in. The results, published in the journal JAMA, show that contrary to what sunscreen manufacturers have been saying, UV-blocking chemicals do seep into circulation. Now, don’t panic and toss your tubes. There’s no evidence yet that they’re doing anything harmful inside the body. But the revelation will have serious impacts on sunscreen manufacturers going forward, and may change what options you’ll find on drugstore shelves before the year is out.
“Everyone had always thought that because these are intended to work on the surface of the skin that they wouldn’t be absorbed, but they are,” says Theresa Michele, director of the FDA’s division of nonprescription drug products, and coauthor on the FDA-funded study. Her team found that it took only a few hours after the application of sunscreen for the photoprotective chemicals to infiltrate the bloodstream and shoot up to concentrations above the FDA’s toxicology threshold that triggers further safety testing.
The researchers saw the same patterns in all 24 of the volunteers they recruited—12 men and 12 women, who were randomly assigned to apply one of four commercially available sunscreens: two sprays, a lotion, and a cream. The participants applied their potions according to recommended labeling; four times a day for four days to 75 percent of their bodies, roughly the amount of skin you’d be showing in a bathing suit. For those four days, and three days after, the researchers collected blood every few hours to be analyzed for the presence of avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and ecamsule, 30 samples in all. They discovered that while it took only a few hours for the UV-blocking chemicals to spike over the target, for three of the four formulations, those levels remained elevated through the end of the study—three days after participants had ceased spraying and smearing. Only the cream users saw their chemical concentrations tail off sooner.

So called conversion therapy banning...Friendly public health message.....
no charge... Our US Centers for Communicable Disease Prevention has interesting data on practicing male homosexuals. Life expectancy, all causes, is reduced by about a decade compared to the averages for those with more normal s*xual practice choices. Not merely the usual suspects (viral hepatitis types, HIV, STD's, etc.), but some other less commonly suspect causes of mortality. Most striking is a thousands percent higher rate of often terminal an*l carcinoma. These data, while our ueber lib state legislature has just joined a dozen other states in banning professionals from addressing any aspects of a child's choices of sexuality. Not merely counsellors, but everyone from Pastors to audiologists. Sure, there is little evidence that such therapies will reverse s*xual choices. But in younger years, identities vary, and I wish I had a shekel for each time a kid wanted to chat with me about these importand topics. We will all now be in the stockade if we think such unbiased talk might help a kid sort things out. Not to force them to change, but merely to listen and provide info. And process thoughts. fears and feelings, as with any other important clinical encounter. Terminal political correctness. Many say, well, why then are the medical societies for the bans? The same medical groups who would have yanked someone's license if they were against lobotomies. Tons of other such examples.

CFM---clinical fetus murder......
Alabama and Georgia with their new bans on this deplorable practice are in the deep South. And that was the deranged frantic initial spin of the ueber alt left on this brilliant new political strategy. But wait, Ohio and now Missouri are on board, as well. With others to follow. But one such state would be enough to trigger legal challenges, leading ultimately wither, dear CS friends? That's right, to the SCOTUS, now slanting much more right than when Roe v. Wade came to be some four decades ago. The latest panicy mantra offers phrases like "settled law", a sure sign of their gettting low on argument ammunition. I support CFM, in much more restricted clinical and family circumstances than under Roe, which originally allowed the proceedure up until 20 weeks of gesation, close to the extra uterine viability of the growing, feeling little humans. But we know of the recent beastial legistration in New York. Allow term birth, then snuff out the wiggling, crying, breathing little buggers, if Mom so desires. We also hear that this is the only government action to adversely cut the rights to autonomy and health of a whole gender. Au contraire, peebles. The combat roles in the military are still almost exclusively borne by males, and over most of the history of the world, conscription was an enormous threat to a fellow's health and autonomy. Do as we say, not as we do. CFM is an importand, helpful, and rarely life saving medical proceedure and shoulsd be allowed after rigorous vetting. Sloth with regard to responsible effective contraception doesn't qualify. The near certain SCOTUS review of this issue may not do away with Roe, but perhaps it will take it back a few notches. Get out of my womb, my foot. Women have exclusive rights to prohibit all such gynocological proceedure. But to be a woman is to be able to carry a developing baby. Vastly different from say endometriosis or cervical cancer. Biology is destiny, ladies, deal with it. Privledge and perogative, both.
Hey kids, guess what time it is?
No, it's not Howdy Doody time. It's Mosquito time. Time to break out the Mosquito repellent like "OFF" etc or "Avon Skin So Soft" on any exposed skin if you have to work outside especially in the evening. Time to setup the Mosquito traps so if you do happen to get stung at least you can have the satisfaction of killing any of the baby mosquitoes your blood meal enabled.
To make a mosquito trap all you need is a bucket of water, the more stagnant the better, and an empty bucket and a fine mesh splatter screen. Make sure there is no other source of water around so the mosquito will have to use your bucket to lay her eggs in. After the eggs hatch and you can see the little "wigglers" swimming around in your bucket, simply pour the water through the splatter screen into the empty bucket. The mosquito larvae wont fit through the holes in the screen and they will all be squirming on top of the screen. Simply knock them off the screen onto the ground. They can't live out of water and they will dry up and die and the ants will eat them.
One more thing, if you have anything around your house that contains water and is open to the air, you are breeding mosquitoes. This applies especially to bird baths.
How do you tell someone....
That they are too old to do something 
My friends elderly parents he's 82 and she's 75
He is in the early to medium stages of dementia and she's not far behind
He's had his drivers licence taken off him as he can't walk without a stick can't turn his head or concentrate enough to hold a 20 second conversation.
Last week his wife woke to a phone call at 6.30am from the night watchman at the Dr's where he had a 10.30am appointment the following day,saying he was beating on the door wanting to be let in.
He had managed to get up,back the car out and make a 40 min car journey in the dark without headlights
Yet he had left the car running in the car park because he couldn't remember how to turn it off or take the keys out.
Now the wife has to hide the keys and lock them both in the house at night

But for the grace of the Goddesses....
there go I... Early morning walks with Bravo---sometimes at sun up. Up ahead, disheveled man in his 50's, staring up a tree. Greetings exchanged, amid the strong smell of alcohol. Seems in the end stages of the "diisease". All the stigmata. Tremor, unsteady gait, rough voice. poor hearing, skin/hair changes, and so on. I ask if he's OK. He says yes, as he pets the dog . "I'm just early morning drunk". We share our stories. I say I nearly lost everything---family, work license, freedom, health, etc., ---and stopped drinking alcoholically just in time, decades ago. He says he HAS lost all those things. But he's able to speak clearly, as he searched the streets/trash bins for bottles and cans to cash redeem. As is our wont, I mention the various forms of help available. His comment, "thanks, but I'm not a preacher". Part after a hug and handshake. Grateful.
Garlic... and other things
Last week, I had ill effects from too much restaurant food, be it MSG or high levels of sodium. To help get over it, I increased my water intake and things were good... kinda.
Dinner last night was sauteed mushrooms, onions, spinach and grilled chicken. Tasty it was and I laced it with garlic powder and pepper with watermelon for desert.
After dinner, we walked up and down the main road for 25 minutes and I did a few things at the computer before bed. Usually I wait 2P before actually going to sleep.
Some people know that garlic is a diuretic. Rarely do I have to get up during the night 2P but... The walk and watermelon combined with garlic... It was way to much. I had to get up at least 6 times during the night 2P.
(note to self: don't do that again)
