THE SALT CONUNDRUM & MORE

“Everybody on earth is eating less salt”

When you go to the hospital, what’s the first thing they do, they put you on a SALINE (salt) drip because humanity is deficient in salt! Eat the salt, CELTIC SEA SALT is best! Salt is ELECTROLYTES, the foundation of you being ELECTRIC which facilitates you being CONSCIOUS to help your ASCENSION! 🤔

Sometimes chronic illness is endless medications and tests and doctors appointments and never feeling well and having to constantly explain to everyone around you that no, you are not "better yet," and you never will be.

And sometimes chronic illness is:

GP: Your LDL cholesterol is a little high. You should eat more fiber, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and beans. You should exercise more. You should reduce your stress levels as well. It's also important to sleep enough.

Gastroenterologist: I'd like you to adjust your diet while we investigate your chronic gas, reflux, and IBS. Avoid beans and lentils, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and high-fiber fruits and vegetables. Eggplant, tomato, spinach, and a few other vegetables are okay though. Try eating more fermented foods such as pickled cucumbers and homemade sauerkraut to help balance your gut bacteria as well.

Allergist: You are showing signs of histamine intolerance, so I'd like you to reduce your intake of high histamine foods. That means you should avoid beans, lentils, nuts, chocolate, vinegar, this list of fruits and vegetables including eggplant, tomato, and spinach, and especially any kind of fermented foods like pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut.

Physiotherapist: I really need you not to push yourself so hard. If you keep trying to exercise more than your joints are currently able to bear, you're going to injure yourself. Again. And then you won't be able to exercise at all.

Psychiatrist: This low dose of blood pressure medication will help treat your hyperactivity and emotional dysregulation from ADHD and allow you to sleep for the first time in decades. It's practically a miracle - until we found this medication, we didn't know of any possible way to treat those things! It might increase your LDL cholesterol a bit though.

Brain Gremlins: You should reduce your STRESS LEVELS as weeellll~~~~ bwahahahahaaaaahahahahahahaha

When it comes to cholesterol, it's usually sorted into the 'good' kind and the 'bad' kind based on their effects on heart health – but now a new study has shown that the 'good' type of cholesterol could have other health risks attached. This is High-Density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and the latest research links an abundance of it with a higher risk of dementia in older adults. For those above 75 years of age, the risk increases by 42 percent, the analysis showed.

Lipid rafts are specialized microdomains within the plasma membrane, rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, that play a critical role in organizing cellular processes. These dynamic structures act as platforms for signaling molecules, facilitating key functions such as immune responses, cell communication, and membrane trafficking. 

Recent research has revealed the importance of lipid rafts in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections. Understanding how lipid rafts organize and modulate cellular activities opens up new possibilities for targeted therapies that could disrupt or harness these microdomains to treat diseases more effectively. As studies on lipid rafts advance, they are proving to be essential components of the plasma membrane's complex architecture and function.

RIP. Japanese biochemist Akira Endo, discover of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, died on June 5, 2024 at age 90.

Statins, prevent heart attacks or strokes. It can help lower the level of LDL or the "bad cholesterol" in the blood and reduce the production of LDL inside the liver.

High cholesterol is becoming an all-too common health problem, now affecting almost 2 in 5 adults in the US. Now a new vaccine currently in development promises to effectively and affordably lower levels of 'bad' cholesterol in the body. This bad cholesterol – in the form of low-density lipoproteins or LDLs – is the type that can cause dangerous blockages in the arteries, reducing oxygen flow to the heart or causing blood clots that can lead to a stroke.
