A trip to London - Dystonia Day Conference (then, School of Rock!)

Apologies in advance for any details that aren’t 100% accurate- I tried to get as many details (of speakers etc) as I could.

The Dystonia Society UK held the Dystonia Day Conference in collaboration with Dystonia Europe at the Novotel, West Hammersmith, London on Saturday 6th July. My mum and I decided to attend to learn more and see if there was any new info that might help our Leigh Network families...

The conference began with Sam - Isobel’s mum - sharing her 7-year old daughter’s journey with dystonia. Hearing her story, in many ways, was like hearing my own- the disbelief from doctors, the way a child just accepts pain even when it’s unbearable, and the positive impact a wheelchair has had on her life. It was quite an emotional experience to hear this from her.

The next speaker was Tim, a technician whose own little boy’s health and mobility difficulties inspired Tim to create a safe space for children to be able to play, to be freer, to reach out and grab, all instead of being constrained to a wheelchair. Tim spoke about the importance of how, in his role, listening to what people want, not what you think they need, is paramount.

The third speaker was Karen Esposito, a speech and language therapist from Sheffield, who highlighted the effect of poor posturing due to feeling embarrassed about your speech (it may be that the volume is weakened from fatigue caused by the muscle contractions around the throat area), so you hide within yourself. This is reflected by poor posture, which in turn can aggravate dystonic flare ups. As the speech therapist spoke, my mum and I nodded in recognition - is Larin Dystonia the reason, or part of it, why I am quiet and rarely understood?

Karen then had the hall sounding like a zoo, as she had us all making animal noises, which was a good laugh before the break- during which, my mum and I became flower-power fairies with hand painted artwork adorning our faces!

After a quick cake, we then heard from Nick and Tully, both in their 20′s and with very different dystonia experiences. Once again, I was saying, 'That’s like me!' as Nick recounted his handwriting deteriorating in primary school. He went on to say how the DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) changed his life for the better.

Tully shared how she'd been born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) but had still been training for the Rio Olympics GB Para Swimming Team, when a week before, she had to give up her dream due to dystonia pain and fatigue. When Tully asked about DBS for herself, she was told that due to the CP, it could have a detrimental effect on her overall health. Tully highlighted the need of medical professionals to be honest with people, whatever their age - you can give hesitant optimism, but if the treatment isn't guaranteed to work, tell them so. False hope is often as dangerous as no hope. Thankfully, Tully had returned to the pool.

Next to speak was a neurologist to discuss the benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation and how it works (the neurosurgeon implants a device into the affected area of the brain, and it turns down- or off - those particular muscles). This device is charged every few years via a battery pack under the skin!

Please note: the neurologist stressed that they would not recommend DBS for those with generalised dystonia caused by a genetic mutation (like mitochondrial disease).

There seems to be a link between CP and dystonia, presumably because, like mitochondrial disease, it's all connected by the brain, which is the body's control centre.

After lunch, we heard from Julie Sparrow who told us about her adult-onset dystonia. From her story, I picked up how vital she found having the support of another going through dystonia- to talk about, not just medical things, but life events too (Dystonia Society UK run local patient meet ups. I've attended a couple of these at the Brain Charity in Liverpool and found it helpful). I couldn't agree more that being in touch with those going through similar is such a comfort- to know you are not alone. This is what Leigh Network is all about - bringing together families affected by mitochondrial disease, learning from specialist doctors, as well as signposting to other charities and services who may be able to give more specialist advice.

We then heard Professor Marjan Jahanshahi discuss the affect dystonia has on a person’s mental well-being and how prevalent depression and OCD is in people with dystonia. As one woman pointed out, with dystonia you lose that muscular control and your abilities become limited as you combat fatigue and pain, so your social life may become difficult to maintain and you may look for something to grasp onto to reclaim that control.

Various experts then discussed their specialist areas – starting with the diagnosis stage and how notoriously difficult dystonia is to clinically diagnose (due to there being no set tests so diagnosis is therefore largely reliant on a doctor’s visual assessment -which is why medical awareness is needed).

However, when the type of dystonia is diagnosed, whether it be a lack of dopamine causing dystonia (which they can cure, although it is one of the rarer forms) or one of the currently incurable, debilitating types- we were shown videos of people in a full myoclonic jerk spasm- any diagnosis is usually better than none. It was shocking to see the persons extreme muscular contortions and contractions. The relief when they were given their treatment was heart-warming.

With mito, many have generalised dystonia, which can affect different muscle systems. When the type is diagnosed, it is then possible that a treatment can be offered. Treatment options may include taking gavapentin and bacloflen and having Botox injections (which the majority of our mito warriors who are affected by dystonia take).

Gavapentin was originally developed as an anti-epilepsy medication, but- as with many rare symptoms (dystonia is thought to affect just 9000 people in the UK)- research, sadly, is limited. So, as often happens in medicine, if a drug has particular side effects that attach to another condition, then medical professionals will try it for that (after all, DBS was originally developed to help Parkinson’s patients, but as the symptoms are so similar to dystonia- what with the tremors and muscle tightness- it is used in some dystonia cases).

Bacloflen, which is what I take, is an orally taken tablet- or for those with severe dystonia (or swallowing issues), a bacloflen pump may be considered. Bacloflen works by acting as a muscle relaxant across the whole body. I take the majority of mine at night to aid sleep, as one of the side effects is tiredness, which is why a few of our mito families are reluctant to try it, fearing it’ll cause fatigue. My own personal experience has been that for the initial 2 weeks, I was even more tired as my body adjusted to the meds. I’ve been on it for a number of years now though and it works for me. You do have to weigh up the pros and cons and decide for yourself.

Botox injections involve directly injecting the affected area of muscle with a small dose of Botox, which is technically a poison. By gradually increasing the dose over time, these injections can reduce the nerves responses. Botox does wear off after a while, so may need regular topping up. Many with mito have Botox alongside oral meds- this has been proven the most effective way for many who are unable to have DBS to combat the spasmic pain. As stated before, every medication or intervention needs careful consideration and an in-depth discussion with your doctor.

Another interesting discussion point was the benefits of cannabis. Once the hallucinogenic element has been removed, the rest of the plants natural medicinal value can be felt (after all, nearly all medicines originate from plants). The doctor speaking said that although many of his patients do find cannabis reduces pain, decreases tremors, and relaxes muscles, the unclear aspect that needs to be looked into- as was raised at the Newcastle Mitochondrial Patient Day- is the later neurological affects. However, as it is only legal (later this year) for British doctors to prescribe cannabis oil for severe epilepsy cases, dystonia patients would have to buy a version with a minute amount of the active ingredient from the likes of Holland & Barrett. This is why I think legalising cannabis is a positive:- if those unable to afford Holland & Barrett prices go to a street dealer, the vulnerable person has no certainty that what they are getting is pure - the hallucinogen-free cannabis…

The penultimate topic of this session was ‘rehabilitation and learning to live with your diagnosis’ -managing low energy, making lifestyle adaptations, and the importance of physiotherapy. Dystonia is when your muscles work too hard and go into overdrive, stiffening up. Tremoring, pain and fatigue are prevalent. A dystonic flare up has been equivalised to running a marathon - so we have super strong muscles! But that comes at a cost... Which is why doing physiotherapy, or gently stretching the affected muscle- keeping it loose and supple - can help.

The history of dystonia was covered at the end. I enjoy quirky histories, so found it particularly interesting. Sir ? (message me if you know his name) was the neurologist who discovered the link between the spasms and brain. Before Sir *?* delved deeper, dystonia was called ‘writer’s cramp’, and thought only to affect writers and musicians. It took a long time before dystonia was reclassified from a psychological disorder to a neurological one. Despite this, people are still disbelieving of the symptoms…

The research taking place across Europe and specifically in Britain, is still, like mito, in the early stages. I think this is because, in many cases, dystonia tends to be a symptom of an underlying medical condition (such as mitochondrial disease). However, there are research trials being recruited for right now. Email [email protected] (Dr Anna Sadnicka) to learn more.

Before the Dystonia Day Conference closed with ‘thank you’s’ to all involved, a fellow dystonia sufferers explained about the ‘My Dystonia’ app, which patients can use to track and monitor their symptoms, and monitor what helps... It’s also an energy-conserving way to show your neurologist how your symptoms manifest between appointments.

As I’ve written about this, I can see just how much I have learnt. It really was a fascinating day. I’ve never said, 'That’s just like me', so often when at a medical science conference. It was fantastic! Thank you, Dystonia Society UK and Dystonia Europe!

Video Games That Value Sleep and Is It Ok For Kids To Take Melatonin?

Video Games That Value Sleep and Is It Ok For Kids To Take Melatonin? was first published on http://midlifewithavengeance.com

With summer nearly here it seems like more fun is in the air.

Summertime means longer night walks, hanging out with friends, and BBQ’s. I find myself acting more like a kid and staying outside until dark and enjoying the summer evenings with my dog.

On my way back from Portugal this week, I had 14 hours to read and found a few fun sleep related articles I want to share with you.

Videogames that value sleep?

I don’t know if you remember it, but not that long ago (2016) there was an augmented reality game called Pokémon Go! My kids were obsessed. It was one of the most popular games in history and then just as suddenly as it appeared it disappeared. Well, Pokémon Fans (or maybe you liked the characters like Pikachu?) there’s a new arrival: Pokémon Sleep!

The New York Times (May 29, 2019) reports that the Pokémon CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, is planning on releasing Pokémon Sleep in 2020. While the details aren’t fully released yet, the executives said the game itself will reward you for good sleep habits. It appears that the new version Pokémon Sleep will “track sleep patterns and change the game based on how the user sleeps and what time they wake up.” This will be done with a blue tooth enabled sensor under their pillow. CEO of Niantic, partner with Pokémon said:

“We love exploring the world on foot, and that can’t happen unless we have the energy to embark on these adventures”

The next article was kind of funny; it addresses the question: What is Sleep Laughing?

In a recent article Medical News Today covered this interesting question. Technically it’s called Hypnogely (for all you trivia fans out there), and laughing in your sleep turns out to be somewhat common and thankfully nothing to worry about. In many cases laughing while sleeping is a natural response to something that occurs in a dream. There’s been little research in this area because it’s rarely reported.

Of note, while most sleep laughing is harmless, this could be a symptom of REM Behavior Disorder, where someone is acting out their dreams. Less than 1% of people have RBD and it tends to occur more in older males. As I have written previously, RBD can be a precursor for Parkinson’s Syndrome and vice versa with up to 50% of people with Parkinson’s more likely to develop RBD. I don’t want to scare anyone, but the data speaks for itself. Since many people with Parkinson’s experience RBD, it’s likely sleep laughing will occur more often as well.

There is also a VERY rare disorder that I learned more about from this article. It’s a condition called hypothalamic hamartoma (HH). HH can cause gelastic seizures. These types of seizures present as uncontrolled laughter or giggles, which happens often as the person is falling asleep. This is a congenital disorder, so it runs in families and you’ll know if you have it.

Babies often laugh in their sleep, and we don’t know why. It’s adorable and is harmless, but if the baby is unable to stop there may be reason for alarm. This is especially the case if bouts are uncontrollable and coincide with unusual behaviors.

So laughing in your sleep may be no laughing matter!

Finally, there is new research on a question I’m often asked which is: Is it OK for my children to take melatonin?

An article in Psychiatry Advisor contains the results of a systematic review for this question. In order to determine which types of pediatric patients could benefit from melatonin supplementation (in a pill or liquid format), the authors found 10 studies to include in the review (which is not many, but the results were very interesting).

The authors stated: “Overall, studies that have evaluated the use of melatonin in pediatrics have shown that exogenous melatonin supplementation is safe and likely effective in select patient populations.”

The list of specific populations of patients that appear to benefit from melatonin supplementation, according to the article include:

patients with atopic dermatitis,

cystic fibrosis,

behavioral disorders (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder),

epilepsy, and

idiopathic insomnia

Whether melatonin would benefit other pediatric populations is unknown due to a lack of data. Although there is data and evidence supporting melatonin use for patients with cystic fibrosis, atopic dermatitis, and epilepsy, caution is still recommended because the possible impact on these disease states is unknown. More research and data are needed to understand the long-term impact.

Regarding ADHD and autism, the review includes two trials in patients with ADHD (n=278) and two trials in patients with autism (n=124). According to the analysis, overall sleep quality was improved and indicated minimal risk of adverse events in these populations.

The study authors also recommended that melatonin should be used following optimization of stimulant dosing in patients with ADHD.

According to the review, various dosing strategies were utilized among the studies analyzed. Regardless of the dose, “each study and review showed an improvement in sleep-onset latency, with varying improvement in wakefulness, nighttime awakenings, and REM sleep.” 3mg was the most common dose administered, but dosing ranged from .75mg to 9mg and each were found to be effective. The recommendation to start with utilizing the lowest effective dose to improve sleep is to decrease any risk of toxicity.

Remember, NEVER start any form of supplementation without first speaking to your doctor.

Sweet Dreams, Dr. Michael Breus

I passed my test a few months ago first time and the insurance on my car is massive, probably because i'm a boy and it's a saxo. when it comes to renewing it in september, i can't see it dropping by much. So how many years do you have to be driving for before the costs fall below 1000 per year.

Is this insurance company giving me the runaround?

I filed a claim with USAA on September 5th on a hit and run accident in which the police were able to find the person and get his insurance. He called them and said he didn't do it - and I hit him. I called, gave my side of the story and the number of the police who were handling the accident. They always say they will call me back and they don't - so I call them in which they give me another date they will get back to me. They never ONCE have gotten back to me. The policy holder who hit me is now in jail on an unrelated offense and they say they cannot get his statements - duh. They say they will contact the police and get back to me - but they never have. The damage to the car isn't that much - it is $416 (just a headlight) but I cannot afford to pay for it. Putting it through my insurance is dumb because the deductable is $500 - at least I think that is how it works. Could you give me advice on how to deal with USAA? I can't talk to them on the weekends because they say they can't handle my existing claim. I'm getting REALLY frustrated.""

Going on my dads car insurance...question?

Should I hire an attorney for this?, I purchased a policy online a few months ago within the first few days that i had this insurance I had a storm and damaged my vehicle (minor) with hail damaged I submitted out a claim, appraiser was sent they covered the loss sent a check to me, now i take it to the bodyshop and try to have it fixed but they need a supplement, they contact insurance co. but insurance co, makes many excuses over this they state I dont have full coverage which I do, and it was verfied with them that i do, the next few weeks pass and then I finally get a call from a manager at the insurance company stating that they mistakenly sent me out a check because I made a false claim report, they said that they can tell by my pictures before policy was bought that vehicle had damaged (which is an excuse of denying supplement) and stated the the adjuster overlooked everything point here is that insurance co, cancelled my policy by stating underwriting issues, so now Im without insurance coverage, the manager also stated she reported this to the texas state but mentioned she could not put a stop payment on the check and that I could still use it to fix the car or cashout the check... I am really dissapointed at how all this was handelled, Im thinking about getting an attorney, I already discussed and this issue with the Insurance company and Im basicly told that I lied about the claim and they end my call... Should I wait to get an attorney or should I just get one and go from there? I believe this is bad faith insurance coverage, What should I do? I mean I still have the check it is not cashed out, I cant really do much with this check everyone charges an arm and a leg, can they file insurance fraud charges and if so even though I know I did everything right should I get an attorney?""

Would I be healthier if I quit drinking? My quest to understand the real tradeoffs of alcohol consumption.

The after-work gin and tonic. The bottle of wine over dinner. A few beers on the weekend. Before long, the alcohol adds up.

Is that a problem? Can drinking stand in the way of your health and fitness? Do you need to quit drinking to change your body? Or could it actually be good for you?

In this article we explore the question in a personal way.

++++

“Should I take a break from booze?”

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

I’ve asked it, as have many of our Precision Nutrition Coaching clients.

At the same time, like many of our clients, I’ve never really felt like I needed to quit drinking. My consumption is normal by most accounts, as is theirs. It’s “moderate.”

But boozy beverages seem to show up a lot in my life — and I know I’m not alone in that.

Maybe we like having a beer to mark the end of a work day. Maybe on Friday we get fancy with a cocktail.

Something to celebrate? Pour a little champagne. Crappy day? That Chardonnay or Cabernet will soften the edges a little bit.

The drinks can start to add up.

If we consider ourselves healthy people, alcohol is easy to justify. We exercise. We try to eat nutritious food. If we’re getting coaching, we know we’re working on our stuff.

But still. Some of us wonder…

Are we OK?

Are we justifying something we shouldn’t?

Are we ignoring the elephant in the room who’s currently dancing with a lampshade on its head and laughing a little too loud while telling off-color jokes?

Are we pretending craft beer or red wine is a health food because it’s artisanal or full of antioxidant something-something?

If we want to be healthy, fit, and functional, how does alcohol factor in?

As I discovered, the answer isn’t straightforward. (It rarely is.)

For one thing:

You may have heard that drinking is actually good for you.

Moderate alcohol intake is associated with a lower risk of diabetes, gallstones, and coronary heart disease.

Light to moderate drinking seems to be good for the heart and circulatory system, helping reduce your risk of cardiac arrest and clot-caused stroke by 25 to 40 percent.

And there have been several studies indicating that drinkers — even heavy drinkers — actually outlive people who don’t drink.

We see headlines like this every time a new study comes out, which seems fairly often, judging by my newsfeed.

An important point that seems to get buried:

If you don’t already drink, health experts recommend you don’t start.

Wait, what? If drinking is so good for you, then why not add that antioxidant-rich red wine to MyPlate — a nice goblet right where the milk used to be?

Because no one knows if any amount of alcohol is actually good for all of us.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you not to drink.

That’s not what this article is about.

But, despite all the headlines and pro-drinking studies:

Most of the research on alcohol’s potential health benefits are large, long-term epidemiological studies.

This type of research never proves anything.

Rather than showing that X causes Y, it simply says that X seems to be correlated with Y.

So even though many studies suggest that light to moderate drinkers have lower rates of the above-mentioned health problems than non-drinkers, that doesn’t mean drinking causes those benefits.

Sure, it could be that alcohol consumption raises HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Or it could be that moderate drinking reduces stress.

Or it could be that drinking doesn’t cause any health benefit.

Rather, it could be that people who drink a light to moderate amount also have something else going on in their lives, unrelated to alcohol consumption, that keeps them healthier, such as:

robust and resilient genes

a lower-stress personality

a particular lifestyle

good social connections and support

We just don’t know for sure.

Any physiological effects would vary from person to person.

The amount of alcohol that may help your heart health might harm your friend’s — for instance, if they have a history of high blood pressure.

And most of the research indicates that you’d have to be a light to moderate drinker with no heavy drinking episodes (even isolated ones) to see a heart benefit.

OK, given that…

What is “moderation”, anyway?

Definitions vary around the world, but according to the United States Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, “moderate drinking” means, on average:

For women: up to seven drinks per week, with no more than three drinks on any single day.

For men: up to 14 drinks per week, with no more than four drinks on any single day.

And here’s a guide to health-agency classified “drinks”:

Sure, you might know you’re not a binge drinker (that’s five or more drinks for men, or upwards of four for women, within two hours).

But when was the last time you poured wine in a measuring cup, or tallied your total number of drinks at the end of the week, or calculated your weekly average in a given month, or adjusted your tally to account for that sky-high 9.9% ABV Strong Ale you love?

Studies show that people routinely, sometimes drastically, underestimate their alcohol consumption.

It’s easy to edge into the “heavy” category without realizing it.

For example, if you’re a woman:

That’s a big problem, since heavy drinking comes with a much higher risk of major health problems.

Risks associated with moderate and heavy alcohol consumption

Moderate Heavy Heart Arrhythmias High blood pressure Kidney disease Heart disease Stroke Brain Disinhibition Altered judgement Poor coordination Sleep disruption Alcoholism* Chemical dependence Depression Alcoholism Neurological damage Epilepsy Dementia Damage to developing brains Immunity Infection / illness / lowered immune response Cancer (mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, breast) Damaged intestinal barrier Increased inflammation / flare-ups of autoimmune disorders Hormones Breast cancer Hormone disruption Impaired sexual function Impaired reproductive function Thyroid disease Liver Worsening of existing conditions such as hepatitis Fatty liver Alcoholic hepatitis Fibrosis / cirrhosis Hepatocellular Liver cancer Metabolism Weight gain or stalled weight loss** Interference with some medications Loss of bone density Bone fractures Osteoporosis Anemia Pancreatitis Changes to fat metabolism Muscle damage

*Particularly if there’s alcoholism in your family **If drinking causes you to eat more food or opt for energy-dense meals

In young males especially, even moderate drinking increases the risk of accidental injury or death, due to the “Hey y’all, hold my beer and watch this!” effect, or simply the dangerous equation of youthful exuberance combined with less impulse control, combined with more peer pressure, combined with things like motor vehicles and machinery.

All drinking comes with potential health effects.

After all, alcohol is technically a kind of poison that our bodies must convert to less-harmful substances for us to enjoy a good buzz relatively safely.

Through a series of chemical pathways using the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), we convert ethanol to acetaldehyde, then to acetate. The body breaks acetate down into carbon dioxide and water.

A second system for processing alcohol, the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS), involves cytochrome P450 (CYP), an enzyme group that chemically affects potentially toxic molecules (such as medications) so they can be safely excreted.

In light to moderate drinkers, only about 10 percent of ethanol processing is done by the MEOS. But in heavy drinkers, this system kicks in more strongly. That means the MEOS may be less available to process other toxins. Oxidative cell damage, and harm from high alcohol intake, then goes up.

The biochemistry doesn’t matter as much as the core concepts:

1. We have to change alcohol to tolerate it.

2. Our ability to process alcohol depends on many factors, such as:

our natural individual genetic tolerance

our ethnicity and genetic background (for instance, many people of East Asian ancestry have a genetically-linked aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme deficiency, which affects their ability to properly metabolize alcohol)

our age

our body size

our biological sex

our individual combinations of conversion enzymes

etc.

3. Dose matters. But all alcohol requires some processing by the body.

So what’s the “sweet spot”?

What amount of alcohol balances enjoyment (and your jokes becoming funnier) with your body’s ability to respond and recover from processing something slightly poisonous?

The moderate-vs-heavy guidelines are the experts’ best guess at the amount of alcohol that can be consumed with statistically minimal risk, while still accounting for what a lot of people are probably going to do anyway: drink.

It doesn’t mean that moderate drinking is risk-free.

But drinking is fun. (There, I said it.)

In North America, we tend to separate physical well-being from our emotional state. In reality, quality of life, enjoyment, and social connections are important parts of health.

So let me say it:

I enjoy drinking.

So do a lot of other people.

In the U.S., for example, 65 percent of people say they consume alcohol. Of those drinkers, at least three quarters enjoy alcohol one or more times per week.

The wine flows at lunchtime in continental Europe (for Scandinavians, it’s the light beer lättöl). Hitting a pub or two after work is standard procedure in the UK and Japan. Northern Europeans swear by their brennivin, glögg, or akvavit (not to mention vodka). South America and South Africa alike are renowned for their red wines.

Thus, for much of the world’s population, alcohol — whether beer, wine or spirits — is something of a life staple.

And if you’re doing it right — meaning tasteful New Year’s Eve champagne toasts are more common in your life than shot-fueled bar dances to “Hotline Bling” — there are some undeniable benefits to be gained:

Pleasure: Assuming you’ve graduated from wine coolers and cheap tequila shots, alcoholic beverages usually taste pretty darn delicious.

Leisure: A bit of alcohol in your bloodstream does help you feel relaxed. And like a good meal, a good glass of wine should offer the opportunity to slow down for a minute.

Creativity: There’s evidence that when you’re tipsy, you may be more successful at problem-solving thanks to increased out-of-the-box thinking.

Social connection: Drinking may contribute to social bonding through what researchers call “golden moments” — when you all smile and laugh together over the same joke. This sense of community, belonging, and joy can contribute to your health and longevity.

If you’re going to drink, drink because you genuinely enjoy it.

Drink if it truly adds value and pleasure to your life.

Not because:

you’re stressed

it’s a habit

other people around you don’t want to drink alone; or

it’s “good for you”.

With confusing alcohol consumption categories and contradictory news headlines, many people give up trying to decide whether drinking is healthy or not.

A new study shows alcohol may be harmful? Whatever.

Or:

Drinkers live longer? I’ll hop on that horse and ride it straight to the bar!

So forget about the potential health benefits of alcohol.

There are plenty of (probably better) ways to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease — like eating well, exercising, and not smoking.

Wanting the enjoyment of a perfect Old Fashioned or a rare sake is a legitimate — probably the best — reason to drink.

As with what you eat, what you drink should be purposeful and mindful. And delicious.

Drinking or not drinking isn’t about “healthy vs. not”. It’s about tradeoffs.

Alcohol is just one factor among many that affect physical performance, health, and fitness.

Whether to keep drinking or cut back depends on how much you drink, what your goals are, and how you want to prioritize those things.

Only you know what you are, or aren’t, willing to trade.

It may be a simple “yes” or “no”.

Saying “yes” to six-pack abs might mean saying “no” to a few drinks at the bar.

Saying “yes” to Friday happy hour might mean saying “no” to your Saturday morning workout.

Saying “yes” to marathon training might mean saying “no” to boozy Sunday brunches.

Saying “yes” to better sleep (and focus, and mood) might mean saying “no” to your daily wine with dinner.

Saying “yes” to moderate alcohol consumption might mean finding a way to say “no” to stress triggers (or human triggers) that make you want to drink more.

Or it may be where you’re willing to move along the continuum.

Maybe you’re willing to practice drinking more slowly and mindfully, but you’re not willing to decrease your total alcohol intake.

Maybe you’re trying to lose weight, so you’d consider drinking a little less. Like 2 beers instead of 3, but not 0.

Or, maybe you’re willing to stay sober during most social situations, but you’re not willing to endure your partner’s office party without a G&T on hand.

Maybe there is a “best” answer for how much alcohol is okay for everyone. But we don’t know what it is yet.

At least not for certain.

That’s OK.

You can write your own “Owner’s Manual” for YOU as a unique individual.

Guidelines for drinking don’t tell us who YOU are or what effects alcohol has on YOU.

So let’s forget about “expert” advice for just a moment.

Instead, let’s try letting your body lead.

Read its cues. Observe yourself carefully, gather data, and see how alcohol is — or isn’t — working for you.

Here’s how.

What to do next: Some tips from Precision Nutrition

1. Observe your drinking habits.

Keep track of all the alcohol you drink for a week or two (here’s a worksheet to help you).

You don’t need to share it with anyone or feel like you need to change anything. Just collect the info.

Next, review the data. Ask:

Am I drinking more than I thought? Maybe you hadn’t been taking the couple of casual beers with Sunday NFL into account.

Is my drinking urgent, mindless, or rushed? Slamming drinks back without stopping to savor them can be a sign that drinking is habitual, not purposeful.

Are there themes or patterns in my drinking? Perhaps you habitually over-drink on Friday because your job is really stressful.

Is alcohol helping me enjoy life, or is it stressing me out? If you’re not sleeping well or feeling worried about the drinking, the cost can outweigh the benefit.

Does alcohol bring any unwanted friends to the party? Binge eating, drug use, texting your ex?

If any of the answers to these questions raise red flags for you, consider cutting back and seeing how you feel.

2. Notice how alcohol affects your body.

Use Precision Nutrition’s “how’s that working for you?” litmus test. Ask:

Do I generally feel good? Simple, but telling.

Am I recovering? How’s my physical performance after drinking? If I were to hit the gym on Saturday morning after a Friday night social, how would I feel and perform?

What happens afterwards? Do I get a hangover, upset stomach, poor sleep, puffiness/bloating and/or other discomfort?

How does the extra energy intake work for my goals? Is alcohol adding some calories that I don’t want? Am I trying to lose weight, for instance?

What do my other physiological indicators say? What did my latest medical tests suggest? How’s my blood work? My blood pressure? Any other physiological indicators that I’m watching?

If you’re unsure about whether your alcohol use is helping or hurting you, talk to your doctor and get a read on your overall health.

3. Notice how alcohol affects your thoughts, emotions, assumptions, and general perspective on life.

Again: How’s that working for you?

Do you feel in control of your drinking? Are you choosing, deliberately and purposefully… or “finding yourself” drinking?

What kind of person are you when you are drinking? Are you a bon vivant, just slightly wittier and more relaxed, savoring a craft beer with friends? Or are you thinking, Let’s make that crap circus of a workday go away, as you pound back the liquid emotional anesthetic through gritted teeth?

If you had to stop drinking for a week, what would that be like? No big deal? Or did you feel mild panic when you read that question?

4. Play “Let’s Make a Deal”.

To pinpoint which goals and activities in your life are the most important to you, ask yourself:

What am I currently saying “yes” to?

What am I currently saying “no” to?

What am I willing to say “yes” to?

What am I willing to say “no” to?

What am I prepared to say “yes” and “no” to? Why?

There are no right or wrong answers.

Just choices and compromises.

You’re a grown-up who can think long-term and weigh options rationally. Whether you drink or not is your call.

5. Disrupt the autopilot.

One of the keys to behavior change is moving from unconscious, automatic reactions to conscious, deliberate decisions.

To experiment with decreasing your alcohol intake, try these strategies:

Delay your next drink. Just for 10 minutes, to see if you still want it.

Look for ways to circumvent your patterns. If you usually hit the bar after work, try booking an alcohol-free activity (like a movie date or a yoga class) with a friend instead. If you stock up on beer at the grocery store, skip that aisle altogether and pick up some quality teas or sparkling water instead.

Savor your drink. Tune into the sensations in front of you. Here’s an idea: try tasting wine like a sommelier. Look at it, swirl it, sniff it, taste it.

Swap quantity for quality. Drink less, but when you do drink, treat yourself to the good stuff.

6. Call on the experts.

Change almost always works better with support. It’s hard to change alone.

Talk to your doctor about your drinking patterns and your health.

Consider genetic testing. Many commercial genetic testing services can tell you about your alcohol tolerance, or your risk of other chronic diseases (such as breast cancer) that are linked to alcohol intake.

Get nutrition coaching. Precision Nutrition coaches specialize in helping clients optimize diet and lifestyle patterns for good.

7. If you choose to drink, enjoy it.

Savor it. Enjoy it mindfully, ideally among good company.

If you’re a coach, or you want to be…

This site is Pro Government

I don’t Know how to change the font on WordPress , so i Just spaced words .

I am too cheap to pay for another site . I wrote 2 strategy letters . 1 to KKK . 1 to gov’t . I consider my gov’t one to be my best work ever

I had little success trying to reach KKK or gov’t with snail mail so far . I am including my gov’t letter on my race site . ALL gov’t personel should read below – F B I , C I A , D o E , W H , Homeland D , etc .

Any attempt to suppress my efforts to help the gov’t could be consequences . How can i not succeed ? It fulfills Anti – Christ prophecy .

2 F B I agents already visited me . Now that i put my letter on – line , gov’t agencies can quickly share and discuss amongst themselves . Does it have merit ?

KKK could – possibly – benefit by reading my gov’t letter – people can be taught to thinK strategically .

I did not change a thing – except my name + I changed U to you & R to are . It is the exact same letter i sent by snail mail to gov’t agencies in the past . Thank you .

S T A R T O F G O V ’ T S I T E

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

August 5, 2012 cc1 : EPA DC + Sustainable Facilities Practices Branch

cc2 : Ad Council . Several regional addresses – 3 in NY alone . I’m sorry , should I have targeted NY instead of DC ? congratulations on hiring women !

cc3 : FBI HQ in DC + White House ( What could be more “ the gov’t ” than FBI or WH ? Yet , I doubt the President Will read it considering how much mail that address gets ! ). Too many stamps , too many FBI places . Too much money . Seems Like a lot , but it’s only 2 !

cc4 : ADL, AIPAC . How to target “ the gov’t ” ? I thought. Why not write to Jewish organizations ? They control the country anyway.

To “ the government ”: I became aware that government ( i.e., FEMA , Ready.gov ) propaganda exists – obvious eco , education , family , military , sports , women , racial……often in the most unusual places ……… and all over the place.

Eco – CFL light bulbs + LED’s . outlaw incandescent , E-check , Lead is evil , no dumping written into infrastructure , recycling centers often near schools , World Dryer , 3 windmills in cleveland , Gay – ads on bus + Chronicles newspaper , reusable shopping bags disability – Kneeling bus

Over time , I even saw propaganda in : epilepsy warning on video games , Flu , seat belts on shopping carts , Mad cow disease , carbon monoxide detectors , depression is a disease , Foods

I also see that gov’t hires outside private ad companies to do this . If I may offer constructive criticism … maybe you need to change…

1. Wash hands after touching this it contains Lead , Known to the State of California to cause cancer . Why not wash the cord then ?

2. Pet poop transmits disease . In cat litter also . Why not human waste then ?

3. Dryers save trees . Paper Retriever bins. Why not save crops ? Paper is biodegradable – and your favorite word Renewable . Sustainable.

I used to work at Triarc Beverage Group . Near the end of my term , I handed in ideas to the CEO. Long – term consistency is the Key to gauging a good quarterback . Star Wars and Empire Strikes BacK . It is hard to generate consistently good ideas .

Having had time to understand some of your past actions, I find fault with some of your strategy.

1. WTC collapsed Like a pancake.

2. Doing things publicly ( South Africa , uss Liberty 2oo witnesses , chemtrails , TWA missile theory ) , and then lying about it later on .

3. Allowing anti – government sentiments ( militia ) to grow ( i.e., via uncontrolled internet ), and then trying to clean it up later on . “ To what end ? ”, a Jewish man said in the Plain Dealer . Another Jewish man replied , “ If we do nothing , this stuff will spread ”.

4. Allowing anti – government sentiments to grow in Saudi Arabia ( a plant story on CNN – King Faud said , “ Leave the Palestinians alone ”. Who’s side are you on ? )

President Bush once said, “ The government of SA is stronger than the people of Saudi Arabia ”. He also said , “ bringing democracy to the Middle East will be one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century ”.

I think the correct strategy to use in the Middle East is : 1. Take out Saddam & his 2 sons . A power vacuum will result . Gov’t is a “necessary evil ”.

2. Develop ties with important people in Iraq . People with history.

3. Pretend Like you’re leaving.

4. Hopefully , one of your people will arise to power.

5. Don’t do anything to make FolKs suspect he is a puppet of the West ( i.e., obviously , don’t condemn Palestinians ). You can’t do whatever you want , but it’s better than not having any influence at all …

Why did you tell that for ? So be it . It is Just my opinion . I remember President Bush once said , “ Strategy ain’t working in middle east . Need to Re -thinK…” So I started thinKing about it. How it began .

Getting back to the subject , I have come up With an idea for your propaganda “ machine ”. I’m sure you’ll LiKe it – so if you use it , not Just hear it , will you compensate me fairly , or at least hire me ? my resume is not impressive , but it’s a small price considering its potential scope.

What better way than to prove oneself ? As a teaser , I will give you a propaganda idea for free … As I said , I learned more as time went on , until I became familiar With gov’t propaganda efforts . I thinK this fits your goals …

I once bought a HAND CRANK paper shredder at marc’s closeout section and never saw it again – anywhere , but through the internet . I loved it . It was simple . Cheaper than even the paper shredder head ( only the head ) they sell at Walmart . Yet, rich people may not LiKe it because it doesn’t cross cut . Yet , truly better than those scissor shredders.

obvious eco – friendly. LiKe your current sustainable transport propaganda – bicycles ! No electricity required. Could even combine eco + sports.

I’ve noticed that eco propaganda is the most prevalent . But Just the mere fact that I was able to generate a new idea ( Transformers and TMNT’s ) should scare you ( the establishment – Marvel , DC ) and prove that there is room for growth. ————————————— 1st letter Subject : Cola Promo Idea BY : Tony

In MaY 1998 , I handed in many ideas to the CEO of a beverage company. One idea in particular stood out . Why I came up With this idea is beyond me . But it was a perfect fit for cola products.

When I handed in this idea , I wrote it in non-beverage specific terms to protect it . I received a letter from the company Lawyer stating that it was still my idea ( I have that letter in my possession if needed to verify ).

The idea centered around the use of a 1. GIMMICK CONTRACT and 2. A FREE WILL , FREE CHOICE , Free Stuff sweepstakes . The contract would not be binding in a court of law , and the phrase, “ Free Will , Free choice ” was popular at that time – and still is .

The consumer signs a contract similar to the following example : I , ( your name ), hereby practice my own Free Will , and maKe a choice to drink ( Any drinK ) , if and whenever possible , among the other drink alternatives ,

For a period of : [] 1 Year – Enter me in the 1 Years sweepstakes [] 2 Years – Silver sweepstakes [] 5 Years – Bronze sweepstakes [] 10 Years – Gold sweepstakes X____________________

The consumer checks off a box and the prizes in the sweepstakes vary in relation to longevity . We would laminate the contract , and send it back to the consumer.

Aug 19, 2012 cc: Recovery + EPA Sustainable , FBI HQ + WH , AIPAC DC

To “ the government ”: This is my 2nd letter . Here is my BIG eco propaganda idea … it involves basic FANS …

Solar LED lights exist . Fans look Like windmills ! So basic it makes you say I should’ve had a V-8 ! duh . It makes you wonder about the gov’t sometimes.

They can become eco propaganda because they save money by assist AC , and bring in cool air at night . This is nothing new . But , up to this time , it was never emphasized as part of your eco propaganda . Go to the store and see for yourself.

Tower City already has fans in the Food court , but it was never emphasized as part of eco propaganda . They can be installed in gov’t buildings , Libraries , Key bank , BP, etc. Just to move the air around , not necessarily blow powerfully . Indeed , it is a part of good planning.

That’s nothing new , but this is – HE fans. As you Know, High Efficiency detergent and less Water laundry machines exist . This is also eco propaganda . You Know it and I Know it.

Take the most popular fan of all – the box fan , for example . Well developed means there is not much room for improvement , as the blades are already the most efficiently designed.

Well developed means it has built in obsolescence – it was meant to rust and manufacturers want it to break in the bottom center . It makes much more sense to put the break on top where the handle is.

Well developed means both Aerospeed and Lasko sell Premium box fans , which are nothing more than bigger than normal box fans. note that the Lasko “ Premium ” box fan has only a tad bigger diameter and squarer corners , with a 30% increase in air velocity.

The good thing is , all it takes is repackaging – if premium box fans were Relabeled HE ( 30% more ). Any existing “ Power ” fan can be labeled HE if there is more room for the blades , either behind or on the sides.

Lasko chose to make the corners squarer instead of making the diameter bigger , as manufacturers prefer smaller packaging , even though it is better to have an equal increase in diameter all the way around.

I’ll leave the technical details up to your engineers…

Related ideas : maybe HE ultrasonic humidifier . Related to my free hand crank shredder idea : Hand crank can opener . Grinder . Telephone . Start electronics … Pump Water.

——————————————– 2nd letter

Related to my HE fan idea , but not as good… but can’t be worse than your LED idea , which is EXPENSIVE , and NOT selling …… As you Know , compact fluorescent bulbs’s CFL’s are compact.

Is it practical ? It is also going in a direction that most manufacturers do not Like – LOW WATT, BIGGER BULBS require more packaging .There are pros and cons – smaller fits more applications , BUT BIGGER DISPERSES LIGHT BETTER.

Trisonic already sells a crappy , not durable 65 watt CFL that fits inside a 150 watt body – I can shoot straight into it with my camera and still see the spiral . Indeed , long fluorescent tubes also require no lampshade = High efficient . Related: no fan GRILL.—————————- 2nd letter

You are the quarterback . I’m Just throwing a ball out , which is what I did at Triarc ( a few ideas , some better than others ).

1. Solid white toe socKs are rare in America. Solid dark green ? Sand color . Military propaganda . Taken from WiKipedia : article Roman Empire – The Romans also invented socks For those soldiers…

2. Short pens are rare . Possible women’s propaganda . Fit in purse.

3. in Korea they use hot water under the floor to heat rooms with . So ? Well , they need eco propaganda in Korea also , don’t they ? They sell solid toe socks in Korea . Then people say , “ Why not in America ? ”

Not related to any propaganda … but I’ve been thinking about racism recently…

I once read that Islam is the reason why it’s hard to bring democracy to the Middle East . How religious law is incorporated into civil Law . And her Sister communism. they said. But I disagree.

When the Soviet Union fell , my friend told me that Russia still lives. Some say Russia did not fall because of criminal elements or Soviet hard liners . Still , the whole Soviet Union was almost taken. Sister communism . I don’t think so .

I saw on CNN how China clamped down on criminals because they destabilize the State. 2 unsolved mysteries

Why is it hard to bring democracy to the Middle East ?

Israel said “ Kill the Hezbollah from top to bottom” . They cannot Kill it . But why ?

A religion ?

CNN said That Arab is a “Way of Life ”.

The reason I wrote this – in my opinion , Arab is a “ State of mind ”. Just Like black is . Us vs . them . Not all blacks think that way , but there are those that do.

“They Kept us weak ! ! ! !”. President Charles Taylor – “They owe it to us !”. Haiti – “Whatever you do to us , We do to you ! ! ! !”

Palestinians accused of helping Israel are lynched . Winnie Mandela necklaces those accused of helping “the White man ”. Tanks on MLK’s birthday . Tulsa got bombed From the air. War ! “ no surrender ” during Tulsa. surrender – and die after Colfax Massacre .

They said on Wikipedia that the Fate of the Ethiopian Jews is still up to political consideration even to this day . Meaning that the Israeli government has not decided whether they are in or out yet.

During the 1st airlift , Israel was sincere ( Airplane transport is expensive ). After they arrived , the Israeli gov’t said , “ We are CONFUSED ”. After a 5 year wait ( 2nd airlift ) , there were charges of racism. the quota is 6oo per month , but only 3oo are allowed in . They got slapped in the face , but continue to arrive – an excuse Israel could use.

Recently , the Jerusalem Post took a poll. 43 % of Israelis will not allow their daughters to marry Beta Israel . A house divided cannot stand . In my opinion , if black is a “ state of mind ”, Israel is making a mistake .—————————2nd letter

Dear WH , could you please tell your staffers to allow any more letters from me to reach the President ? or whoever gets it ? couldn’t my State of mind theory ( Let WH decide if I am correct . What else is the WH created for ? strategy ! ) affect strategic decisions ?

What does it hurt listening to ideas ? I am not employed. My resume is crap. So, I thought , why not generate ideas and try to get a gov’t Job ?

I recall Ray Croc ? once said “ You have to trust the company ( gov’t , marvel ) . The company cannot trust you ”. I Know from experience . When I handed in ideas at Triarc Beverage , I wrote the idea in non beverage specific terms . They eventually realized that I had protected it. Smart cookie. Sadly , nothing came of it.

BUT – the CEO wanted them. Demanded my ideas . I was a low level marketing Trainee. oK. I gave you a big one . Will I be compensated ?

———————————————————————————— March 25, 13 cc: EPA Sustainable . FBI HQ, WH. AIPAC DC , ADL NY, Ad Council

To “ the gov’t ”: This is my 3rd letter , Entitled “ Bread & Circuses + Internet ”. When I Sent out my 1st Letter , I thought about propaganda ideas . As ideas progressed , I switched to strategy , which I thought you’d prefer.

The following is not a coherent or developed strategic plan-s . Just Like yours.

Strategy # 1 How about a Head of Propaganda ? Title should not mimic German evil “ propaganda ”. He was important to Hitler . One of the 1st steps of the Department is to RE – think current propaganda. Is it coherent and part of strategy ? i.e, Seat belt laws ? Strategy fits how ?

If decisions are decentralized and left to outside private Ad Agencies , some mistakes could be made over here , but not over here. They could overlap – dryers save trees , but paper is biodegradable and renewable…

+ I saw ( neutral ? ) American Red Cross on a ( gov’t ) FEMA poster . Not good . Guilt by association . YMCA also.

+ Incoherent – 3 fish are not recommended by the FDA ? Also sounds not believable. = Propaganda – so – messed – up – it – makes – no – coherent – sense – whatsoever.

My initial perception was – Ready.gov , FEMA is announcing itself . But now… Just makes you feel Like you are “moving along ”. Making progress.

Related : I take RTA . If people take public transportation , is there more opportunities to propagandize ? Promote RTA ? cost

Related : create Ministry of Strategy . Not important – I say Roman architecture . chess – Like tiles. Is it necessary ? What are its functions ? oF course – statistical analysis . Even propaganda requires strategy . Maybe even located next to each other .

Strategy # 2 RE – Think Sports Far be it for me to question the Romans , who promoted “ entertainment for the masses ”. But I Will .

With today’s mass technology ( TV , enough good movies , internet ) , entertainment is less relevant . Even in the “ Radio Days ”, there were comic books . Question it then .

The sole exception is the internet , where info ( not always good ) is in abundance . which should maybe – be discouraged . You argue, “ It is another avenue to promote propaganda or refute ”. It is also a Way to learn . There are safer Ways .

Let’s say I read about bad unbranded gasoline . or Kucinich leading on internet polls . Racial history is oK , but someone reads “Jena 6 largely ignored by US media ” – it leads to bias .

It doesn’t even have to be political info. or..or..or..or..or I once heard , “ Needs to be controlled ”. or..or..or..or..or – that doesn’t sound controlled to me .

Related is a “ more miles to the gallon ” idea. + other diversions . Like Pat Tillman , Kasparov retired from chess , saying that there was no point to it. Why not promote chess clubs ? Sports can become redundant .

But not Sony Play Station ? ( Electronic in nature , Like internet – iF you are not gonna target computers or electronic typewriters . Why not Play Station ? ).

Bottom line – Besides sports , other avenues may attract more people . The pie gets bigger ……Romans had hobbies too .

All I see is media promoting other media ( TV show on ABC ) or Wall to Wall – sports – even on front page of Plain Dealer. I do not see you promoting other hobbies . RTA, No other hobbies , except a chess tournament – one time at Tower city.————————————3rd letter

Strategy # 3 Bugs , Worms – plague the internet . Like movie Dark City , Shut it down ! ?

come up With a good excuse first . Like Norton cannot stop a Worm because they are mutating ( Like Borg , no time to adapt ) AND replicating by themselves . Progressively getting Worse .

Origins unknown . Al Quida is small. Make them sophisticated ? WTC more believable. unknown sounds more believable Strategy.

continue With long range plan – gov’t plays hero trying to stop it . call for a day to shut down internet . Improved , but it starts again faster . Another day to spray. Again . Warning . Soon to End ……or something.

I stopped here , but thoughts entered – Is it Way too late ? Not if it Keeps people UP TO DATE also , Especially if you are trying to renovate strategy.

Is it bett-er Just to try to refute / Ambiguity ? Is there a way for only gov’t to Keep it ? or save Wikipedia info before shutting it down.

You argue, “ internet could change other ( Arab Spring ) gov’ts – but not at the expense of your own . I could be wrong , but I advise – How about Re – create the internet ? smaller.

How about begin plans – now ? could always change mind in future . Takes planning. How make the switch over ? Need excuse . People usually think “ gov’t did it ”, especially if only gov’t Keeps it.————————————— 3rd letter

Strategy # 4 RE – think Food Stamps . Romans were masters of military , architecture , gov’t . They hired someone to whisper in the General’s ear, “ Remember , you are Just a man ”. masters.

Romans threw edible bread ( could there be a reason ? ) , not gold or salt , out to the people . I recall as a Kid , my mom got a huge bar of free gov’t butter . But you can’t eat butter now .

As a woman Said in movie ‘Food , inc ’…Then you have to buy Ketchup and this and little of that …not gonna eat all of it …Want a hamburger… something you can eat right now …don’t have to cook…

What is Food anyway ? commodity as it gets . A Forest Gump man once said that he cleaned the coup for all the chicken he could eat . Both me and my friend told him that it was not a good deal . I’d Like a lifetime supply of coupons for this idea alone. Not ! …Well ……… oK. Me and my Mom.

Like soup Kitchens of the Great Depression , this is more related to STRATEGY than propaganda . All these other PROPAGANDA ideas should NOT concern the White House . Let them decide if I found a strategic flaw .

involving – only on holidays , military , “a Warm meal ”, Remember troops , surplus.. ?. .Etc. Not dust bowl – Who believes droughts in America ?

I receive stamps , but I don’t consider it to be Food . My perception – I see it more as extra money . It is directly deposited into my banK account . But , the Romans threw bread , NOT GOLD or Salt , out to the people . Who’s perception matters ? The people’s ! the recipient’s …not the government’s perception.

I get McDonald’s , Wendy’s , coupons once in awhile with my Junk mail. I use them. How about gov’t coupons for use at private restaurants ? choice too. I Know McDonald’s promotes gov’t propaganda.

Just a thought – Isn’t it better , Solidify tangible , if Food pic is on the coupon ? PICTURES MATTER . More TANGIBLE . How choice then ? Backflip shows different alternative ? With Fries or dessert and drink – complete meal is more satisfying ? Not necessarily . In this case , details matter more . Don’t Just leave it up to engineers ( Fans ).

one time use coupons require frequent interaction ( cut out scissors , Take out of wallet ) , unLike reloadable gift cards . Like Seder meals , it brings into mind where it comes from. Salty tears + tablet shaped matzos.

I don’t Know how stamps WorK exactly ( I think you can buy restaurant Food ) , but it is more DIRECT and immediate Than butter . more TANGIBLE than Food stamps … more SATISFYING experience .

What about immediate ? or MRE Food giveaways ( for military ) – i’ve heard it being done before . As the old adage goes , “ Dogs don’t bite the hand that feeds it ”. Make people correlate that they got Food , not money , from the gov’t .

More in tune with human instincts – animals fight over food. fight over women. Life’s pleasure. satisfying. Related to that ? Maybe a time limit . dogs need to learn why it got rewarded . Soon after.

omg ! how long have stamps existed and no one RE-thought this ! Flaws in your strategy + propaganda – FAN Windmills . Expensive LED’s.

Who says I’m correct ? Taking a “ swing ” at your strategies. “ Go ahead ”. It is encouraged by the gov’t . oK I took bread and game “ Tweaking ” swipes , internet swings . and now Shadow…

What is the cost of sound advice to our gov’t who spends on flawed Shadow gov’t instead ? Shadow questions both the Well – written constitution and Romans ( shortest , fastest roads to suppress uprisings ).

“ Go ahead ” Let you’re analysts analyze my strategic swings ! Best and brightest Strategy – I proved myself ? Hire me ! Babylon took into captivity .———————— 3rd letter

Lesson # 1 No one ever used fluoridated water or contaminated Food as a part of strategy . Not the Romans . Not china , even today . etc I have , for the longest time , doubted its Wisdom.

1. Taste and smell being 2 of the 5 senses people use to discern truth ( and lies ) . In this case , even sight – growth hormone rBST boobs grow prematurely.

2. Ingredients in Asia , Middle East not coherent with West. Stevia is used in Japan & Korea PUBLICLY, but the FDA + media are covering it up.

VERY POSSIBLE – Even when “ caught ”, FolKs tend to blame money interests , never the gov’t. There is no motive . Easier to Keep blaming $ . I once read on internet – significant portion of India believe iodized salt is a multinational conspiracy.

on Yahoo news , You once Said – blame the sugar lobby . Then you are blaming only one industry . one Food item. It’s better to blame the Whole .

Related : I Know about tainted unbranded gasoline – by owning a car in the past and reading things on the internet . It does not make sense to me. incoherent. Gas ? Has to do with Food ? You say depopulate . But gas ? 10W40 oil ? Additives ? ——————————————– 3rd letter

As I was at McDonald’s , it came to me. You can’t blame industry because there is gov’t complicity. FDA. Local municipalities . 1930’s. Blame lobby then. JFK – Public evidence exists. blame mob . No , there is media and gov’t complicity . create impression that the mob has influence ?

For only JFK ? could use as excuse for other mistaKes . Will this impression Fit others , or clash ? You already created the impression that the FBI is incompetent ( Oklahoma City ). Could this make people who watch movies think “ FBI Warning don’t matter ? ”

AMA is famous lobby. Build up AMA 1st ? Later , I thought – I prefer a Tag Team with other lobbies as various foods are tainted.

What about McDonald’s complicity ? Movie Supersize me. Attack ADM , Supermarket to the world ? Mid level employee blew the whistle ? or hope it Just “ blows over ”. Is it preferable not to “ blow the whistle ” & Just create the impression that certain lobbies have influence in DC India ( worldwide ) instead ? —————- I haven’t resolved this issue yet . All these ideas can be further refined.

Arafat was the sole survivor in a plane crash . In college class , I recall a student said , “ Yeah right ” People think …Mossad did it !

In booK ‘Disney Wars ’, people inside ( and outside ? ) of Disney think the fortunes for the company changed after Frank Well’s death…People watching this 1 company. Roy is seen as Protector of Legacy . Don’t Kill him. It matters not if he died of natural causes.

Lesson # 2 What matters is, “ Does it look SUSPICIOUS ? ” Was there a MOTIVE ? Sound believable ? He Kept Eisner’s power in check . They said on Wikipedia – that there was a motive for WTC also. War in Afghanistan , Iraq.

Lesson # 3 Eisner being Jewish did not help . It hurt. Rumors do exist. MANY Jews in Clinton Administration was – telling me to write to ADL , AIPAC .

Jesse Jackson accused the 3 Nixon Administration . 3 Rubin Greenspan Summers . 2 more at Disney . I’m sure others do the same . many Jews raises suspicions . Why do that ?

To me personally , book Media Bias written by a Jew , doesn’t help either. + Saul Steinstein ? Disney and Goldsmith Goodyear leads me to believe hostile corporate takeover is part of your strategy. I think.

Even if a problem doesn’t exist ( which it does ), can this ‘Jewish gov’t control’ rumors be WEAKened with a fabricated story ? off hand I can’t think of a story , but there is something I’ve been mulling – a Way to BLUNT.

My Circus Impression idea to explain media + gov’t . What’s that ? Put many chinese in our gov’t to explain trade deficit . Emphasize Paramount Japan – Hollywood control . Paramount + NAACP have history . To explain food corruption .

Many lobbies = adds up to chaos and leads to confusion . creating doubt is another strategy by the Way . NAACP to Explain S A + LA silence . Emphasize NAACP actions in the past – they threatened to boycott Hazel TV show. Explain 1970’s TV. latino lobby ? or blacks are lowest , so they would support “ Rainbow ” immigration.

Short term – global pharmaceutical lobby , NAACP in trouble , accusations . Leads to statement on newspapers – similar to Consumer Reports “ We accept no outside advertising dollars ”.

Long term plan – major crackdown . No more lobbies . big bang . All propaganda fixed .

What about Hollywood ? There’s no way around it ? Jews would still remain a force – You need loyal people to carry out your bidding . Name change ? —————————————3rd letter

When Milosevic was arrested , a lower level employee policeman gave him his Word – publicly . When he died , it was suspicious to me .

Almost as if you had broken your Word . When a lower level auto employee gambled with company money , the whole company was found liable . Sure we all croak at some time. Lesson – don’t break your public word . But he could escape . Statistically , the chances of a prison break are 1 in 1oooooooooooooooo

What happens when 2 goals conflict ? Related to racism and Publicity Strategy . Maybe related to immorality ( Lies ) agenda – both happened slowly at 1st.

Hoover never cared about the KKK ( SOCIAL ). He was interested with the communist party ( POLITICAL ). Albright said “ Militia is enemy ”. Same thing . But the KKK not Like this gov’ t also. But their interests , motives are social .

Lesson # 4 Sure it hurts the agenda of mingling seeds together . But helping minorities and women should NOT be the main concern to the gov’t . A word to the next puppet in a middle eastern country .

latinos in LA ? one paragraph in the Plain Dealer . and yet blacks are leaving LA. SA Farm Murders . one White supremacist got Killed . But it’s happening at random . The media paints this picture that only KKK get Killed .

It also leads to charges of MEDIA bias and silence . What is more important ? Helping minorities or media integrity ?

Come up with an excuse and talk ? ? ? “ ANC blackmailed … uranium ”. or something . LA – community leaders pleaded with media… Which leaders ?

CRITICAL STEP – attack excuses from every angle. it could get worse .

STEP 2 – if possible , outline a short and long range plan. Kind of Like what I did with Worm internet excuse.

Up to here , it’s clear to me. To be continued. X X X

3rd letter——————————————–

Is it better to try to let things “ blow over ” if time elapses too long ? I don’t Know. Related : If media uses same excuse , or excuses many times , could it also lead to – McDisney movies today – hero , girl , villain , comic relief same storyline .

Pre – viz long range implications ? Should you select certain past silences 1st ? on what criteria ? I am not about to tackle all this . Nor the amount of propaganda .

I think strategy is relative . Anti – christ is Master of Strategy , As opposed to novice ��or intermediate . The Golden Rule being – do the best you can do.

I think – if it sounds Like it may work , do it . Brainpower can be used on other things.———————————-3rd letter

continued. X X X or spread excuse rumors. Unofficial media leads to official story . chemtrails were a part of DOD Strategy… Threat to National Security at that time… so media complied ”.

So the media is partial ? Why the gap in time to report ? Every angle.

Why not other media companies ? But – people think there is choice from having many cable stations – another step to think about ? conglomerate 1st ?

Used to immunize people . could even be used in conjunction with Gulf War Syndrome . or frequently printed sentence-s. “ Rumors are circulating …

I didn’t Like Israel did not Know USS Liberty was American excuse . For hours ? ? ? + they hoisted a flag rumors . All we Know is Egypt was signaling rumors – better. Ambiguity then – I’m not sure what I mean by that . Something on board top secret, had to be destroyed . I heard about MLK’s death – a man named Raoul – led me to believe in – conspiracy.

Rumors of Rabin’s death also . Princess Diana Mossad rumors . Motive ? I read the same thing about the Lusitania . Bombs or something – VAGUE. conspiracy ? I don’t Know . Motive ?

In Liberty case , Way too much time expired ? Perhaps . No problems as long as there is not 200 scared witnesses released back into the population.

Note : There is no motive for chemtrails also. I personally guess , Like Food , to poison air supply . Milosevic – I guess you broke your word . I could be wrong. ———————————–3rd letter

I was grocery shopping, when it hit me – if it sounds Like it may succeed , do it……… I said before . I erred – long range implications ? criteria ? – should be tackled . More Specifically – time . The longer you wait to go public with a silence in the past , the harder it is to go public.———————————3rd letter

Pre – Viz or long word pre – visualization … Part of strategy ? I don’t Know. It’s Just something I thought of. So important to Lucas, he hired Speilberg For Pre-viz

This is what’s going to happen…” What did you think about Tony’s ideas ? ” I agree with sports and hobbies. I didn’t really think about mass technology part Yet , go with that first … I Like his gov’t food coupons …

When I generated my comic book idea , I hit a few dead ends . It became clearer and instead of continuing down the wrong path , I “ Re – started ” my computer.

What is the point of this letter ? So the gov’t made mistakes in the recent past . So what ?

Don’t do it again . YOU LEARNED a little , didn’t you ?

I’m not familiar with strategy concepts and teachings . I Just wrote and wrote – it came naturally to me ( and generated more ideas ). As a Job search .

I prefer to work freelance , but I’d also Like to be put on the company payroll – something to tell my family. “ I got a Job ”. But , I cannot generate ideas all the time . It comes and goes.

Do you Know how important good ideas or sound advice is ? Do you Know how much military money you could’ve saved by using my middle east strategy ( letter 1 ) in Iraq ?

Every idea I generate put a price tag on it . It saves you $ and motivates me . You want me to initiate ? No , I prefer the Ebay approach . Hint : I work for cheap.

Maybe I’ll buy an old Disney movie on Ebay – or…or…or…or

Homeland Defense – “ Look inward ”, Pres Bush said. Did you mean Focus ? I’ve never heard that before – as part of strategy . At least , I got you thinking about strategy ( GooD THING , also unappreciated ).

My internet final solution is pretty solid , isn’t it ? You had a little time to analyze . Not gonna change is it ? Re-create I mean . MAJOR Advice AFFECTING SO MANY.————————————- 3rd letter

I advise that a similar letter be read by many in the gov’t . or as it is immediately to top brass.

STEP 1 Re-type letters word For word . Make the font bigger . Double check accuracy is going too far , should be standard procedure . on hard disk too

STEP 2 Discuss my letters in the WH.

STEP 3 ? Implement some of my more solid ideas now.

STEP 4 ? Edit my letters . concise or hide sensitive info.

STEP 5 ? Widen the base outward . Simple matter of distributing my letters to “ Think Tanks ”. Fellow strategists.

Major – How to conquer the Middle East in letter 1.

State of Mind Theory in Letter 2 – certainly helps to unlock mysteries about the Middle East , Hezbollah , DOESN’T IT ? maybe ?

Major – Internet is important enough.

Analyze my analysis . Minor : Food Stamps – Food, not money . correct ? A Flaw ? consistently good ideas… Fans Assist AC . Look Like Windmills . big eco.

I proved that there is room for propaganda and strategy and maybe understanding growth ( THESE means gov’t should be concerned – big ones too ) and refinement . I wonder why it takes you so long to tackle the un-controlled internet in particular. or Fans …… Food stamps not too obvious.

I see and understand your efforts by your actions ( Shadow , Build plan . Ready ! ) . You Jews try hard. Try less hard and more brainpower.

You Jews are very cautious . Hollywood lied very slowly at 1st . + Seeds of men mingle Slowly at 1st . Sometimes I pity you. Not really ……. But in a “desperate” sort of Way

I’ve been away for awhile ( between letters 1 , 2 + the gap in time for this one # 3 ) writing strategy letters to the KKK. I may show you what I wrote to them – Later – Just to further prove my strategy skills to you .

You owe me FF Fans Food Stamp ? + others ( Sports ?, INTERNET, crank…). Show me a little. and I’ll show you more strategic ideas .

I saved the best for last . You might guess one of them , but I doubt the other. Maybe I’m bluffing . More ? Prepare to be blown away .

It’s not Fair but I learned at Triarc , you must trust the company because the company can’t trust you . But if I’m not compensated , I won’t think anymore than what I already thought up.

April 27, 2013 What good is it For me to Keep these strategic ideas ? Almost all were generated after my 1st letter dated August 5 , 2012.

My Fourth and last letter dated April 10, 2013. In between 1 – 4 , I’ve been busy writing strategic letters to the KKK and a Twilight Zone movie script Why mention that ? As a reference should you desire to try to get a clearer picture of me.

I was motivated to try to get a Job when I wrote to the gov’t . In doing so , I accidentally , over time , discovered that there is room for improvement in both the KKK and the gov’t’s strategies . Shame on both of you . ——————————– 4th letter

April 10, 2013 cc: CNN + Plain Dealer , Ad Council DC , NY , Atlanta , Chicago cc: WH, AIPAC DC, Homeland D , ADL OH , DC , NY , FBI DC, OH, EPA Sustain , DOE

To “ the government ”: This is my 4th letter , entitled “ Antichrist Letter ”. The following is not a coherent or developed strategic plan – s. Just Like yours.

How about a renovation at the strategic level ? Blatant mistakes were committed ( especially in the relatively recent ) past , some of which cannot be corrected in the future .

An anti – gov’t cancer exists in Saudi Arabia and because of internet . No amount of strategy can Kill it – unless you Kill everyone – I think .

Wrong strategy – Let cancer grow. Clean it up later With SWAT and prisons.

Let’s not forget the good – Seawolf sub plot , destroy a tank before China can get their hands on it , etc. etc. not just China . Yet , China itself , is a potential mistake waiting to happen . Why help in the 1st place ?

But as Bible says , “ He ( Anti – Christ ) will be a master of strategy . He will succeed in all that he does ”…I believe you will succeed in efforts to reconstruct strategy. Good luck

It tooK him time , but King David Knew one of his advisors was LiKe taking advice from God ”. He gave the correct advice ( go now ) , but someone secretly working for David gave the wrong advice ( WAIT ), and made a convincing argument . All the advisors bit !

Lesson – Just because correct advice is given , doesn’t mean it will be heeded . But how did David discern he was good ? He was a good Judge of character ?

Strategy # 1 Related : and also mind boggling . CAN UNDERSTANDING BE TAUGHT ? This understanding is something I Know little about. maybe funding some experiments at colleges could help you gain insight .

Again , according to the Bible – He ( Anti – Christ ) will understand darK sentences …I believe you will succeed once again . I don’t Know what dark sentences means.

Primarily sight and sound. Body language ? Tone and speed of voice . Playing offense – asking questions . Correct himself means he is lying . Inconsistencies ? Re-phrase the same question.

But if you teach them , they may get Wise to tactics . This understanding is something I haven’t thought about to any degree , but it could give you a Tactical EDGE , especially in DIPLOMACY.

Strategy # 2 A hierarchy. The one who makes that decision should be the best . She should Know how it all fits together. or a system. A meeting . Under certain criteria .

If ideas are too numerous , have staffers decide . A FILTER. or as you say “1st Responders”. How else are good ideas going to reach the WH ? Easy access. This letter can be an “ acid test ”. Training could help – identify.

Borrowing a Roman strategy , perhaps filters can be scared – Kill soldiers who fall asleep on watch duty. FBI will investigate. “ How would they Know ? ” the filter may think ? create doubt in his mind – post office checks mail from time to time.

When I worked at Triarc , Mistic Dark Teas was unknown to me. Hence, when I eventually generated an Arab bottle with a long sipping spout idea , it was too late to implement it – unlike propaganda , I am not familiar with your strategies . it impedes me from generating ideas.

Take propaganda for example – to help generate ideas , info would be required . Education , military , gay . Past examples help in the learning process. Doesn’t it destroy the purpose once tactics are understood ? Like understanding . You don’t want them to Know it is propaganda . We are being lied to by Hollywood.

Strategy # 3 Another idea – as I was freely writing , I thought it Would help if I could see more and more , Like how Wikipedia exploded – help me to see the big picture clearer. I Started the 3rd and 4th letter With a skeleton and added onto it later – FREELY.

Put it on-Line ? Keep adding to big STRATEGY PLAN ( Make a map ). Then subtract and edit . Growth and refinement. For now , I advise that you focus on growth ( Strategy Plan or training ? ), not so much Fine tuning ( hierarchy ). When you say growth do you mean Teaching or the Strategy Plan ? I don’t Know What I mean , but the Plan for sure.

You should Focus on this decentralized strategy first. OUTWARD, THEN IN – and out again and so Forth . After you do some things – Keep going outward for Awhile. Eventually to mid level , maybe all employees. In stages as things become clearer.

It leads to greater understanding . Knowledge builds on Knowledge . HE Fans Led to HE bulbs . Hand crank shredder Led to hand crank other . it took time for me to see more propaganda.

How do you balance the need for secrecy With the decentralized teaching approach ? Hmm ? I’m not familiar With your strategies.

SUPER STRATEGY # 4 TEACHING. PEOPLE CAN BE TAUGHT TO THINK STRATEGICALLY. Why would I give you an idea that could create more competition for me ? I Like this idea more than any other. it should allow you to tap ideas from your vast pool of human resources , and put me out of work. Not that I’m working for you .

INNER: those in the inner circle could be electronically connected. How WiKipedia exploded . I prefer the PLAN With HTML Links . I think communication among strategists would be important while growth occurs . How did WiKipedia start ?

Two prong approach – those powerful in the inner circle taught to think more strategically . Read my 3rd lessons letter – again . Sharpen their swords .

Who dares to bother the powers that be ? It can be taught , can’t it ? Rodney Dangerfield says “ Back to school ! ”

OUTER INNER: Who would that include ? Keep pushing out. How ? Less sensitive info ? I don’t Know. ALL: A continuing letter-s. other types of training – how to work with other agencies . Sharing info.

could Lie – NEA ( not gov’t ) promotes education. Any ideas ? one Way is to present it as a case example , Like I did at Akron University – Taking Words out and supplementing Them.

could tell the truth – Recently we changed Food Stamps . can you employees think of any Ways of improving gov’t programs ? Then there will be many silly ideas . Need filters.

Is there a Way to draw ideas from the general public ? Caribou coffee once had a contest. Why they Like it. Words from a Few people were printed on cups . Hold contests ? Maybe offer a reward if it leads to…

STRATEGY # 5 BEAUTY AS STRATEGY !

Hint : Irish Brit are beautiful. Roberta Pedon was not Latvian . She was Irish . Tina Small . BooBS

Joke – I heard the Mossad spends months – trying to figure out what the right bait is . Why not hire women with big boobs ? can’t Go wrong most of the time anyway.

LiKe in movie ThanK You For SmoKing – irish Type. World class Tits … Reporter trying to get privileged info is not relevant ?

Physical appearance matters – Clothes noble Wig , Race – blend in With enemy , Trojan Horse Paper Tiger . Strange – Anti – christ ? “ King of “ Fierce countenance ”.

oF all the ideas I have generated in my Life , I’d say this ( THESE ) strategic WH , or Triarc Gimmick contract ( Later Free Will , Free Choice , Free Stuff – Pepsi did – Fit perfectly ) was best.

When I initially came up With Triarc idea, it was Just a vague concept. CEO told me “Hmm… interesting ”. Long story , but he wanted it !

Another minor , but solid 1 for Triarc + my comic booK – not great , but consistently good enemies. In a competitive field – beverages and comics .

People can be taught to think strategically Was already written . Later , I came to the growing realization that I had stumbled ( accidentally ) upon People can be taught to understand. I Knew I had strucK gold !

Grand slams are rare ( TMNT , but not April o ’Neal , KC ) ( Spiderman 2, but not 3 ), but I hit 2. Star Wars , Empire Strikes BacK – bacK to bacK. Yet , consistent solid ideas is the Key to gauging a quarterback . basic Fans , Food stamps , etc .

I came up with almost all of these strategic ideas long ago , but not before my 1st letter . I admit I saved these teaching ones for last – I don’t want competition . I may generate more . Depends on whether I am compensated and how much you improve .

Remember how I began ( letters 1 – 3 ) ? I did not have to, but I proved that there is room for improvement . I am not familiar With your strategies , so I might switch back to propaganda in the future . It has some value at least , as long as it is related to sound strategy .

Put in a good word For me in the WH . And I’ll put in a word for my brother – he has a tiny advertising company also.

To the one who initially reads this , the critical “ 1st Responder ” as you say . Please see to it that this letter reaches the oval office – your boss . I sent out quite a Few.

……….I think the gov’t will LiKe this “ Antichrist ” letter – could even lead to fulfillment of end time prophecy. Sincerely , Tony

More – edited – letters I Wrote in the past …

Imagine my surprise when 2 FBI agents visited me in early August 2013 – Is this what I get for trying to help the gov’t ?

Like I told them , if I thought my letters didn’t have potential , I wouldn’t be pursuing the matter and Keep mailing ( trying to reach the gov’t ) . Page 1 of 3

I want you to Know that I developed these pretty good ideas . Isn’t that what business people do in Life – try to get credit where credit is due . To me , the image is Worth a Few stamps . Did I explain ? I don’t want to be “ used ”.

As one of the agents advised me to try the DoE ( Fan idea ) , I told him I already did , but I’ll try again . Both nodded and agreed – it is a good idea . Page 2 of 3

………….. He wasn’t sure , but another thing I discussed with an FBI agent was my Food stamp Flaw . He told me the Romans threw silver out to people , but it didn’t Work very Well and that bread was distributed only in Rome .

………….. So , I’m sending this to the Dept of Agriculture also . I told the agents that I thought my letters had great potential . They were skeptical.

………….. The good thing is – Now I Know that someone is taking a serious Look at my letters , instead of the usual silent non-response ( and making me Wonder )

……… I am so sure that my Arab is a state of mind theory is correct that I Will *guarantee* it.

The bad thing is , the Men in Black visit scared me . Page 3 of 3 ———————————————————— August 1 , 2013 Dear Prime Minister To – Netanyahu , Peres Peace House , Jerusalem Post = Israel gov’t ? ———————————————————— August 19 , 2013 continued – Whites were not prepared and had to go back home and get their guns during Tulsa … After the blood donation scandal , Israeli police Were unprepared for violent demonstrations by the Ethiopian Jews .

I Read in Haaretz July 18 , 2013 – “ Public Security Minister warns against major protests over Bedouin relocation plans ”… A violent state of mind . Potentially dangerous.

Race crosses national boundaries . Blacks in Western Africa and America are proud of obama . Refugees from Somalia , Eritrea tried to Flee into Israel , even though they are not Jews . ———————————————————— President Bush once said , “ it is better to engage the enemy over here , rather than on our own home turf , backyard ”.

The purpose of strategy is to Win . current strategy places troops in Iraq and Afghanistan , Just Like Soviet occupation or Vietnam . A no-Win situation.

To – Ministry of Immigrant Absorption and Health , Isha L’ Isha also

E N D ————————————— E N D

I Wrote a TWilight Zone remake movie script . It is super duper long . I did not send it to anyone out of Fear they Will steal it . Nor completely finish it . Good ideas in it for TV . Anyone Who Wants to see it ? Will you give me a job ?
