"To date, CEH’s investigations have found BPA in polyester-based clothing with spandex, including socks made for infants."

Avoid polyester, got it.

"BPA can be added in the manufacturing of polyester as an intermediary step to improve the natural properties and lifespan of a fabric. In the production of polyester fabric, BPA can be used to create hygroscopic and antistatic fabric with color fastness to washing. BPA and other bisphenols may be used as dye-fixing agents for polyester and polyamide textiles. Furthermore, BPA can be used in the production of flame retardants, fungicides, antioxidants and in PVC production. And it may also be used in spandex production for antistatic properties."

This sounds like it is nothing new.

You can do the same thing with your PC and buy an e-ink monitor, but they are expensive ($800 for 13") and it is a really drastic change (black and white, 2-3 fps).

Here is an excerpt from the intro of your book recommendation:

"Kinesiology is now a well-established science, based on the testing of an all-or-nonemuscle response stimulus. A positive stimulus provokes a strongmuscle response; a negative stimulus results in a demonstrableweakening of the testmus-cle. Clinical kinesiologicalmuscle testing as a diagnostic technique has found widespread verification over the last 25 years. Dr. George Goodheart’s original research on the subject was given wider application by Dr. John Diamond. Diamond determined that this positive or negative response occurs with stimuli both physical and mental, and his books brought the subject to the general public.

The research reflected in this volume has taken Diamond’s technique several steps further, through the discovery that this kinesiologic response reflects the human organism’s capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but also anabolic (life-threatening) from catabolic (life-consuming), and, most dramatically, truth from falsity.

The test itself is simple, rapid, and relatively foolproof: A positive muscle reaction occurs in response to a statement that is obviously true; a negative response occurs if the test subject is presented with a false statement. This phenomenon occurs independently of the test subject’s own opinion or knowledge of the topic, and the response has proven cross-culturally valid in any population and consistent over time. This technique provides, for the first time in human history, an objective basis for distinguishing truth from falsehood, which is totally verifiable across time with randomly selected, naïve test subjects.

Moreover, we found that this testable phenomenon can be used to calibrate human levels of consciousness so that an arbitrary logarithmic scale of whole numbers emerges, stratifying the relative power of levels of consciousness in all areas of human experience. Exhaustive investigation has resulted in a calibrated scale of consciousness, in which the log of whole numbers from 1 to 1,000 calibrates the degree of power of all possible levels of human awareness.

The millions of calibrations that confirmed this discovery further disclosed a stratification of levels of power in human affairs, revealing a remarkable distinction between power and force and their respective qualities. This, in turn, led to a comprehensive reinterpretation of human behavior in order to identify the invisible energy fields that control it. The calibrated scale was found to coincide with sublevels of the hierarchy of the perennial philosophy; correlations with emotional and intellectual phenomena in sociology, clinical psychology, and traditional spirituality immediately suggested themselves.

The calibrated scale has been examined here in light of current discoveries in advanced theoretical physics and the nonlinear dynamics of chaos theory . Calibrated levels, we suggest, represent powerful attractor fields within the domain of consciousness itself, that dominate human existence and therefore define content, meaning, and value, and serve as organizing energies for widespread patterns of human behavior.

This stratification of attractor fields, according to corresponding levels of consciousness, provides a new paradigm for recontextualizing the human experience throughout all time. In practical terms, by accessing data to which there has heretofore been no avenue of approach, our method promises both great value in researching history and enormous possible benefit for mankind’s future. In attempting to emphasize the value of this technique as a research tool, examples have been given of its potential uses in a wide range of human activities: speculatively, in art, history, commerce, politics, medicine, sociology, and the natural sciences; pragmatically, in marketing, advertising, research and development; and empirically, in psychological, philosophic, and religious inquiry. Specific applications have been suggested in such diverse fields as criminology, intelligence, addictionology, and self-improvement."

How anyone can believe this is beyond my comprehension.

Of course in the foreword to the intro we get the classical super-hero story of the troubled young man experiencing enlightenment.

"High" cholesterol levels are not necessarily bad and there is certainly nothing bad about cholesterol itself. Almost all of our cells produce it and no matter how much we consume our body will compensate by adjusting it's own production. It's better to consume more then less.

However, if your blood cholesterol get's "very high" something is wrong. The cholesterol in your blood is supposed to be used, among other things for the conversion into steroid hormones. If you have a traffic jam and cars pile up on the road you can't just say "cars are good" and leave it at that, you have to fix the cause for the jam.

Also, if the conversion is not working properly, your body will release even more cholesterol into your blood to enforce the conversion which will lead to even higher blood cholesterol levels. The problem is not the cholesterol, it's the jam.

This is often happening in low carb and keto diets (which i did myself for 10 years) and it is - as far as i understand it - caused by high cortisol levels because the lack of sugar is stressfull in the long run, but there are many other factors. Cortisol blocks thyroid hormone and thyroid hormone is the regulator for the conversion of cholesterol. Basically thyroid hormone is (again, as far as i understand) the master regulator for our metabolism. If you have good thyroid levels you will have more energy, and even better, you will have good health because many health issues are related to a disfunctional energy-metabolism. People who don't get fat have a higher metabolic rate and the best example are kids. Kids have 3-4 times the metabolic rate of adults and it's quite obivous what the results are. Boundless energy and happiness.

Things that can be detrimental for your thyroid levels are a lack of sugar because it's a stressor to rely on fat-oxidation in the long run (it's supposed to get us through the winter and not through the rest of our lives), a lack of sunlight / Vitamin D or PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) which damage our energy metabolism (PUFAs are supposed to be in cold animals / plants and not in warm ones).

If you have a serious problem with this, more knowlegeable people then me would probably suggest to get a blood test for your hormone levels and continue from there, but that's about as far as i can talk about it with any level of confidence that it might be mostly correct.

All the praise for cholesterol is correct, however if it builds up in the blood this might indicate that its not converted into the steroid hormones which is often caused by low thyroid.

She went to taiwan for a simple reason - to ensure china's attack on taiwan. Had taiwan refused her the tensions might have been eased, but they didn't. Now china has moved so many troops that an attack is inevitable.
