@WilliamWallace I wonder if adding an antioxidant like olive leaves would slow the process

The olive oil in your pantry is not the same oil it was on the shelf. Rastrelli 2002 (J Agric Food Chem) tracked α-tocopherol in EVOO stored at room temperature for 12 months. It dropped 20% by month 2 and 92% by month 12, with half-empty bottles showing the most pronounced changes. α-tocopherol is the sacrificial antioxidant that protects the polyphenols. Squalene and polyphenols were protected for the first 6-8 months, then declined as the antioxidant defenses ran out. Malheiro 2018 (Food Res Int): even oils still classified as EVOO at 12 months had lost ~50% of phenolic compounds and 57% of oxidative stability. The legal classification stays. The bioactive content doesn't. Di Stefano 2020: at 18 months, oleocanthal and oleacein (the peppery secoiridoids) decreased; tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol increased, partly degradation products of the higher-value compounds breaking down. Three drivers: oxygen exposure, light, time. Half-empty bottles oxidize fastest because of the headspace. The lever: buy smaller bottles, store dark and cool, use within months not years. Treat EVOO as perishable.

@Rock5491 @jimgeraghty No chance this is a real person.

@jimgeraghty actually, the Iranians are a lot less dangerous than the Ds at the moment, since the latter can gum up the works and make it more difficult to finish the job with the Iranians.

There’s no getting around the fact that Hegseth, who spent ten years as a Fox News Channel host, has a bombastic and pugnacious personality and is prone to incendiary comments that are probably not helpful in the long run. The Secretary of Defense began yesterday’s hearing with an opening statement that claimed, “The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans.” Many of us would have figured that the biggest adversary the U.S. faces at this point in the war against Iran would be . . . you know, _the Iranians_.

@jsmacked @lporiginalg @avidseries A quick scan through your posts show that you are not an impartial individual. It makes sense that you would be so emotionally connected to his standpoint and vehemently against @avidseries, who is approaching things pragmatically. Best of luck with all the anger.

@TheeJeffC @lporiginalg @avidseries I don't care if you think he's a meanie butthead, his claims are publicly available for you to refute and claiming he's biased isn't a refutation Using bias as an excuse not to entertain someone's argument or evidence is, itself, bias and, again, YOU are the bad actor.

This is garbage. Every data set you look at shows that political violence (especially that involving fatalities) has been mostly a rightwing problem over the past twenty years. (Property-directed political action is usually more of a problem on the left than the right.) This holds true even if you remove the problematic methodologies and assumptions (e.g., classifying Islamists and prison skinheads as rightwing) used in some of the studies conducted by ideologically-motivated organizations. More recent data show that this longer-term trend may be reversing as leftwing activity rises in volume and targeted lethality. Data from 2025 and later is still emerging and will provide a more complete picture. It's useful to remember that political violence is still a tiny percentage of all fatal violent crime. Racially and ethnically-motivated violence is far more common.

@hatoff2you @jack_schroder_ I empathize with that. I also gave up on Vit C a few years ago because none worked. Its ok, one molecule isn't going to be a panacea, anyway.

@TheeJeffC @jack_schroder_ Thx Jeff. That is so rough. I was not able to do the IV due to the content of the fluid. Kinda jarring when something so good for you is such an irritant.

Inflammation + infection depletes your vitamin C reserves — this is a big deal. You need vitamin C to recycle vitamin E, and you need vitamin E to prevent your cell + mitochondrial membranes from becoming oxidized. If you lack vitamin C, you shunt more homocysteine down the transsulfuration pathway to make more glutathione to compensate for the low vitamin C and oxidized vitamin E. This leads to undermethylation, leading to poor detoxifcation, dysregulation epigenetic programming, low melatonin, adrenaline, creatine, choline, and a lack of clearance of histamine, dopamine, and catecholamines. A lack of vitamin C leads to increased demand of CoQ10 + alpha-lipoic acid, which leads to bottlenecks in TCA cycle + ETC. If you lack vitamin C, you can't make BH4 properly, which means you can't make dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, or nitric oxide. It also means you can't make collagen, carnitine, or bile acids (tied to detoxification, fat/vitamin absorption, and antimicrobial effects). It means you can't recycle iron properly to be absorbed, nor for its role in inactivating cellular hypoxia/HIF-1a (even in presence of oxygen) You also can't govern the release/synthesis of POMC products (eg., alpha-MSH, endorphins), oxytocin, vasopressin, sex + steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone/IGF-1. I would suspect that most individuals who are surrounded by modern world stressors would do well with 250mg/day of vitamin C, 1-2x/day (on top of food intake + sufficient vitamin E, glycine, cysteine, protein in general). Optimize gut health + endotoxin + stressors load to ensure that vitamin C reserves stay sufficient and don't run suboptimal.

@thestarcard100 @IsabellaMDeLuca And you're totally a real person

@TheeJeffC @IsabellaMDeLuca She’s right.

The crazier the world gets, the more I realize the importance of the nuclear family and its impact on society— which makes sense why the Left has used things like feminism to destroy it. They know that when a Mother is absent from the home she can’t raise her children. When she can’t raise her children, the internet and Government do.

@Elijahkrings @jack_schroder_ I used to walk barefoot on the sidewalk in Queens (I know), and never noticed negative effects. If anything, it was somewhat calming ala normal grounding in a field.

@jack_schroder_ Whats your current take on the counter argument to not ground within cities or near to wifi towers? Less of a concern as pros outweigh the cons?

Seriously, just go barefoot. I don't care if you live in a city, a surf town, or the countryside — just do it. If you don't, you're missing out on: — Schumann resonance (alpha brain waves) — Earth's geomagnetic field (water networks + cell signals) — Electron absorption (inflammation + energy) — Parasympathetic nervous system activation (rest-and-digest system/vagus nerve stimatulation) — Fascial stimulation (plantar fascia on your sole contains mechanoreceptors, where pressure/shear signals travel up through fascia to reset tensional tone of whole body, especially whilst walking). Your shoes are a rubber insulator between you and the most powerful grounding system on the planet. Our ancestors were grounded almost 24/7, most modern humans are grounded 0/0. 30 minutes a day (minimum) on grass, sand, or soil is enough to shift your biology. It's known as quackery/woo-woo because it's free and no one makes money from you doing this. Earthing shoes/sandals are great, but barefoot is overwhelmingly better in my anecdotal experiences.

@SolBrah Hoooooooooooo boy

Look at the sky and stars Does it look like we are moving like that Use your common sense

@chydorina Which test were you using for testing leaky gut? It wasn't just zonulin, right?

I get why you (and many other people) say that.... but...the gut is WAY downstream. Just 'fixing the gut' would lead to needing cycles of fixing the gut/gut dysfunction in all but the mildest patients. I healed leaky gut many times over the years (on paper with gut testing). Indeed, cyclical work on the gut has been part of my protocol now for years (its been ages since I noticed this pattern). The piece most people miss is that pathogens are competing with our body for minerals and nutrients. Whole body pathogen load tends to be crazily high in many of the sickest patients - they just are not reaping the benefit of food or supplements. The baseline biochemistry itself is struggling and as patients gets worse we actually start to see whole systems collapsing. So, you hit on what I would say the exact mistake I kept making was - thinking that I should focus on the gut. I am not saying all the gut stuff is not key - it is - and food intolerance/gut dysbiosis remains a major stumbling block. In many mild or recently sick patients, some lucky ones will get away with just focusing on the gut - but if the chronic illness is infection onset and includes PEM - the work tends to begin further upstream. Hope this helps.

@rudekyoni999 They're not

-Nicotine is a mitochondrial uncoupler -Increases testosterone and DHT Paired with aspirin and vitamin c cigarettes might actually be beneficial.

@hisugarfoxx @Clavicular0 This is dead on. He has created his own world, and he can create a new one

@Clavicular0 This is like going to the jungle and being upset there are too many wild animals. Look for women in other places besides the streets of Miami.

When I was in the hospital on life support a girl was begging Mitchell for my AMEX credit card (he said no). The consistent theme of girls trying to use me for money is brutal for a young guy trying to navigate a complex society. Hopefully I can find a good girl whos intent is to not to screw me over and take my money.

@SimmonsBart What's chauvanistic about this? If she enjoys doing it, then that's wonderful.

Every morning before sunrise, we get up together, brew a fresh pot of coffee, sit and talk, and read our Bibles. As I get ready for work, my wife begins her work with a grateful heart and bakes eight loaves of sourdough bread using a 100-year-old starter. The night before, she stretches and folds the dough by hand. This is our tradition—a simple, faithful rhythm that reminds us every day of God’s faithful provisions. She does it for our thirteen grandchildren, our dear friends, and the customers who count on her bread. Occasionally she makes a batch of buttermilk sourdough biscuits from my grandmother’s old recipe, and every warm bite feels like a blessing straight from the Lord. Some folks will read this and roll their eyes, calling it archaic or chauvinistic, but they don’t know my wife. She’s college-educated with a degree in accounting, a successful business owner, a seasoned bridge player, well-read, and she can still saddle her own horse and ride with the best of them. This is simply who we are—grateful, grounded, and blessed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 2SRanch.com

@hatoff2you @jack_schroder_ I have a similar situation but because of MCAS. Have you tried IVs?

@jack_schroder_ There is no form of Vit C I can take, none. They all irritate, cramp or burn my gut. The only C-containing food I can consume is broccoli. Very frustrating when for decades C has been touted as so important.

@WhiteHouse It will never cease to amaze me how much Trump openly hates America

TWO KINGS. 👑

@jsmacked @lporiginalg @avidseries Someone who acts the way he does does not deserve anyone following his requests. We all need to earn respect through having rational and honest perspectives. @avidseries constantly does that. No one else here has. No one should be interested in these emotionally charged responses

@TheeJeffC @lporiginalg @avidseries His video is public and you can watch it and criticize what's in it. But you didn't do that, you just claimed "bias!" as if that refutes anything. YOU are the bad actor and I'm not surprised he blocked you since clearly you refuse to engage with the content

@rudekyoni999 Thats quite unhealthy. Our cell membranes are made of PUFAs in a 4:1 ratio of O6:O3. Raw seed oils, egg yolks, and seafood keep our detox, cell signaling, and cell membranes healthy

@TheeJeffC I’d avoid both as much as possible

btw that’s what omega 3 does to your mitochondria

@jsmacked @lporiginalg @avidseries His triggered response to me alone (when he also blocked me after this one gentle comment) indicates he is not a person of pragmatism and calamity, but rather is emotionally driven. We have to start calling bad actors out.

@TheeJeffC @lporiginalg @avidseries "You have a bias" is not a refutation of someone's point He linked his work, you can counter that work, but a blanket claim of bias isn't a counter. If it were then Hypocrite's video could be 3 seconds long with him saying "they're biased"

@Chesschick01 We?

I'm with Rand and Trump on this one. We need a Ballroom.

@adammocklerr This is as dumb as when people say its a left problem. Get off the internet, people.

Political violence is not a “both-sides” problem. It’s also not a fringe problem. It comes from the mainstream Right.

@holisticgrenade 34k people follow this kid. For those who do- why?

I'm convinced that the average anti-vaxxer mom who gets all of her information from her phone while sitting on the toilet knows more about nutrition and pharmaceutical products than the average doctor. This is because doctors don't learn anything about nutrition and all of their education on pharmaceutical products is actually just sales training.
