If it's skin oil then it is caused by testosteron. It is seborrheic dermatitis and I have it since I was 24. It is also called perioral eczema if it appears around the mouth. Around the mouth are the lower abdomen organs as reflexion zones so wherever the eczema appears on the face it shows which organs are inflamed. If it is on the chin that shows the sexual organs. Eczema is always an excess Fire condition, in Ayurveda is Pitta dosha. The only thing that healed my eczema was black seeds (nigella sattiva) or black garlic. Search on google and you'll find so many links about black seeds curing eczema. in TCM the black seeds or black garlic is Water element which extinguish the Fire element. This is traditional medicine theory but in reality these black medicines contain some phytoestrogens that regulate the testosteron at the sexual organs level and the fire erruption on the face is controlled. The coconut oil may work because coconut is white and white is Metal element color, the Metal is melted by Fire and becomes Water elemnt according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. But what really happens is that coconut contains lauric acid that kills the bacteria which infect the skin where the eczema appears. To me it didn't reaaly had an effect unless the internal hormonal cause is eliminated. Another herb and that helps healing eczema is Aloe Vera, this plant just heals the skin.

This article sums up everything: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/if-carbon-dioxide-makes-u/ I am not climatologist but I am an PhD aerospace engineer so I understand some things that happen in the atmosphere. Here are my calculations with data from Wikipedia and NASA. cp and cv are the caloric capacities of gases when pressure is maintained constant but the volume allowed to change, or the volume is maintained constant but the pressure is allowed to change. A simplified atmospheric model will assume that the pressure remain constant but the volume is allowed to change, so the cv number is closer to reality than cp. I made the calculations for both: Total mass of atmosphere: 5.1 x 10^18 kg (data from NASA) Surface density: 1.217 kg/m3 (data from NASA) Density is mass/volume so I had to make some corrections to take into account the mass of CO2 which is heavier than air and water vapor. Water vapor is lighter than air. Water volume percentage is highly variable, typically makes up about 1% of volume (I took 1.5% the average value at 15 deg C the standard temperature) http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/earthfact.html On wikipedia the atmospheric water article is confusing and they purposefully don't provide clear data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide content cp = 0.844 KJ/Kg K cv = 0.655 KJ/Kg K 0.04% = 400 ppmv today (7000 ppmv in Cambrian) density = 1.98 Kg/m3 Carbon dioxide mass = Atmospheric mass / Atm density * CO2 density * CO2 percentage = 5.1*1.98/1.217*4/10000*10^18 = 3.319*10^15 kg Carbon dioxide mass in Cambrian = 5.1*1.98/1.217*7000/1000000*10^18 = 58.082*10^15 Carbon dioxide from today heat trapped 0.844 * 3.319 * 10^15 = 2.8 *10^15 KJ/K 0.655 * 3.319 * 10^15 = 2.17 *10^15 KJ/K Carbon dioxide from Cambrian heat trapped 0.844 * 58.082 * 10^15 = 49.02 *10^15 KJ/K 0.655 * 58.082 * 10^15 = 38.04 *10^15 KJ/K Water vapour cp = 1.93 KJ/Kg K cv = 1.46 KJ/Kg K 0.01 % at -42 degC 1.5 % at 15 degC (standard atmospheric temperature) 4.24 % at 30 degC density 0.804 kg/m3 Water vapour mass = Atmospheric mass / Atm density * Water vapour density * Water vapour percentage = 5.1*0.804/1.217*1.5/100*10^18 = 50.54*10^15 kg Water vapour from today heat trapped 1.93 * 50.54 * 10^15 = 97.54 *10^15 KJ/K 1.46 * 50.54 * 10^15 = 73.79 *10^15 KJ/K Today If the pressure is constant, the ratio between water to CO2 heat is 97.54 / 2.8 = 34.84 times more water than carbon (2.87% Carbon vs water) If the volume is constant, the ratio between water to CO2 heat is 73.79 / 2.17 = 27.33 times (3.65% Carbon vs water) In Cambrian period If the pressure is constant, the ratio between water to CO2 heat is 97.54 / 49.02 = 2 times (50% Carbon vs water) If the volume is constant, the ratio between water to CO2 heat is 73.79 / 38.04 = 1.94 times (51.5% Carbon vs water) So my conclusion is this: I am really looking forward for the atmosphere to be like in Cambrian, there were not humans at that time, and that was a period when life on Earth literally exploded, the most species on Earth ever was in Cambrian and the atmosphere was hot and still life not only was surviving but thriving. If we are eliminating ourselves from the gene pool that's OK, as George Carlin was saying, the planet is fine, we are screwed.

The plants need CO2 , it's their food. The trees grow with CO2, but if you cut the trees then yes, you have more CO2 than O2 because growing rate of the trees is slower than cutting rate. But burning fossils has nothing to do with that.

OK, so this whole issue is made up so that they can justify the carbon tax right? How about water tax? Since water in the atmosphere has way more green house effect than carbon dioxide. How about sun tax? Since the sun is heating the atmosphere and the reason why all planets are heating up, they don't show this fact in those documentaries. In the conclusion of the movie a brilliant scientist says there is a solution to the problem and he hopes the humanity sees it as soon as possible. I am hoping he is seeing the stupidity of the proposed solution, like this carbon tax may change the planet orbit or planet tilting axis. The dry band that you see over Middle Orient and north Africa, Tibet and is on all continents where are deserts, like Colorado desert in North America, Australian desert, Kalahari desert, Atacama desert, is there because of the earth rotation, not because the humans intervention. In fact all planets have that band in their atmosphere and you can see it even on Jupiter. http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/21838/what-would-the-climate-be-like-on-an-earth-like-planet-with-only-one-convection This is caused by Coriolis effect which is caused by the planet rotation itself, and this effect is there on every planet in the universe with an atmosphere that rotates around its own axis: Because the Sun is heating up, the atmosphere on Earth is heating up but that happens in all planets in our system, and because of that the dry band increases and the poles are melting but this is not because we are burning fossils fuels. What is really bad for the Planet and our atmosphere is that the big corporations are cutting the trees, all virgin forests are destroyed but nobody say anything about that. So this is the real problem on our planet. But they don't want to tax cutting the trees, do they?

I wouldn't do juicing, I would do smoothies just because they have the fiber that does not allow the insulin spike too high. Also I would combine dry vegetables/fruits with oily ones like avocado or banana which will give a satiating effect. You may even add coconut or just coconut oil. If you have problems with your colon, use slimy things like okra, grounded flax or kefir to rebuild the colon lining. Also sulfurous vegetables are useful to create a bio film in the colon for beneficial flora, they are called pre-biotics: garlic, onion cooked, leeks.

Yeah, Veritasium is an awesome youtube channel!

For me it is true. For me is best, for other people I don't know and I don't care. Agree, with the condition you work out and consume the calories, if you don't consume the calories then all the carbs will be deposited as fats in the intramuscular tissues and then you become skinny fat instead of just skinny. (Which by the way I did and became fat so I had to burn the fat to become as I was before in my youth : skinny.) It is the worst, the best is to be skinny muscular. Again I have to say : for me is the best.

I wanted to write another post about electrons being standing waves analogous to water droplets and I just found there is research done in this direction about wave nature of matter.

No, that's not true. Adrenals need a lot of protein to process and because someone is eating too little protein the adrenals catabolize (catabolism means eating your own muscular tissue) your own muscles hence the skinny type. If you want to increase in muscular mass you should increase the protein intake, it shouldn't be too much (6-9 oz per day) but this is much higher than an average person which should be around 3-6 oz per day. The problem with standard american diet is that they combine animal protein with carbs (french fries, buns, sugar in coca cola and other sodas, which increase the insulin secretion which produces diabetes and obesity). This is unhealthy, combining carbs with proteins at the same meal. And the best protein is animal protein especially the fatty type (eggs, beef, pork, cheese, fatty fish, fatty poultry). To maintain health you need to balance the high protein intake with large portions of vegetables (7-10 cups of green and colorful vegetables) that add a lot of minerals enzymes and vitamins to the diet. All these are needed for adrenals to function properly, lots of daily vitamins B, C and D.

Yes but you can control that. Look into adaptogen herbs, or adrenal support herbs. What comes into my mind right now is Rhodiola, Ashwagandha and Reishi. This is what I take and I am fine. And go to gym and keep your muscular tonus and strength and you'll be fine.

The excitation happens like this:

I am not a physicist but I had some quantum physics courses in university and I remember some stuff. It is all about interpretation and this is how I understood this. The uranium decay is like this: So Uranium basically loses alpha and beta particles and becomes something else, the number represents how many protons and neutrons they have. Like for example Uranium 238 loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is a nucleus of He and becomes Thorium 234 But by losing 2 protons U 92 becomes Th 90 (which indicates the number of protons it has.) But if you lost 2 protons you have 2 electrons which are excited, they have energy stored which is no more balanced by the proton, so Everytime you loose or gain an electron actually you loose or gain an excited electron, which means that electron has some energy, which is a photon or more. A photon is the smallest quantity of energy you can have hence the name quanta, and is represented by Plank constant in equations. http://www.atnf.csiro.au/outreach/education/senior/cosmicengine/sun_nuclear.html Now what is this energy you loose or gain, is basically a photon. Anything in the Universe exchange energy through photons. I cannot see you if you don't give me a photon, but every time you give me a photon, your electrons state change from a higher state to a lower state, because the electrons give up the photons. Every time you give me an electron is because that electron was excited with a photon coming somewhere else from the Universe, from the Sun or from some other star, and once excited raises to a higher energy level which is unstable and leaves the proton that binds him and goes out into Universe. These states are the wave functions, they are vibrations of spherical shapes. The electrons stay around a proton in a shape of a sphere and if they receive a photon they start vibrating on that sphere. This is a linear wave, but in a plane a wave function looks like that, depending on the energy state: Imagine a drop falling on a surface of water, while you consider each drop the smallest quantity of energy you can have: This is a lower energy excitation And this is a higher energy excitation: And this is how the wave function looks in a sphere: The higher the number of waves the higher the energy it contains This is how the wave functions look like in Hydrogen but in Uranium is much more complicated, and they represent stable states, which means they can be like that forever if they are not excited by other photons: The unstable states means they have to change to fit into stable waves shapes. So in a nutshell, to see or observe or measure something you have to give or take at least one photon which means the wave state has to change from a level of energy to another level of energy, which means whatever you measured it is not anymore like it was, it changed, it transformed. If you wait for a natural process, like waiting Uranium decay by itself it takes a long time, but if you want to do it faster you have to excite it and by doing this you change the time scale, what they say you reset the clock, because you add photons to the system and the system is in a different state than it would be in a natural environment.

I have blood type A but I've never been able to follow this diet. In Ayurveda I am a Vata type, and in TCM I am Wood-Water which translates into adrenal-liver type. The best diet for me is paleo with adrenal-liver specific as per dr.Berg advocates, and this gave me the best results.

And moreover "observing" a particle does not mean "staring" at it. You can stare as long as you want at uranium and still you will be dead by the radiation it is emitting, and by the way that radiation is the matter that is decaying. But "observing" and "measuring" in technical language involves some sensors which contains some electro-mechanical systems that indicate some numbers from some energy exchange between uranium particles and other materials. The principle of uncertainty in quantum mechanics is about that, not that if you stare at uranium it stops decaying, it is just about you can't measure its quantum states. It's a totally different thing but depending how you word it it can be interpreted in so many ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)

Yes this is real Neidan. But people have to understand the metafors behind elements. All alchemy started with sword making and then the same principles applied to spirit making. Cinnabar is the mercury ore, if you take cinnabar and put into a cauldron and heat it it will turn into mercury.

If you are skinny this is a Vata body type. No matter how much you lift you will still be weaker than anybody else, because Vata bodytype is weakness by definition. The insecurities come from anxiety, fear which are due too much adrenal hormonal activity. Your adrenals produce too much adrenaline and cortisol and anything in life scares you because your body reacts too much from external influences. But you still can balance that, Vata dosha is balanced by increasing Earth element ( Kapha ). You still need to eat meat (beef, eggs, diary) to increase kapha -earth element and go to gym and work out but at best you will be balanced, which is good enough to regain your own self esteem and confidence. You should avoid eating Vata aggravating foods like these You should eat Kapha aggravating foods like these

I would say: Fire rises (ascends) Wood spreads (radiates) Earth balances (harmonize) Metal solidify (consolidates) think of ice or stone or crystals Water flow (descends) think of what Lao Zi said about water in Dao De Jing Fire and Water are antagonists (rise - descend) Wood and Metal are antagonists (spread - consolidate)

I wouldn't be so judgmental about western culture and praise the holiness of Japanese culture. Just make a search on google about the Japanese art of shibari / kinbaku and you'll see where bondage is coming from. And let's not forget where Pikachu was invented. By the way did you know that manga and anime later, appeared in Japan after WWII as a mixture between classical Japanese painting and Disney cartoons characters?

After so many years of martial arts training, one thing I learned: never judge someone by the way it looks. So whatever Chosun Ninja shows and looks like BS, I wouldn't compare him with those guys with "real skills". Real skills you see at Doug Brothers, and by any means the way a real fight looks is nothing near those "wrist exercises".

They killed the bison because it could not be contained in an enclosed lot with fences like cows and horses. Bison needs vast territories to migrate and this is the reason indians had no concept of property, although they had the concept of owning the land because they used it as hunting territory and they fought wars for that. But a tribe owning a hunting territory is different than a the western capitalism where a man owns a lot of land, put fences around it and defends it with his guns. The western capitalism fault is the "property right", there is nothing wrong to own things, but ultimately all the wars were fought for land and resources of the land. And the land comes with the water and the air above it. And there is a huge discrepancy between a single person or a family owning thousands of square miles and other families owning just a couple of hundreds square feet, this is the problem of the actual civilization, who is owning the lands, the forests, the rivers, the resources and who is administrating them. To me is OK a government to administrate public property but the actual system is rigged so that the rich families control the government and not the other way around. So here is the problem of capitalism, it creates oligarchy. I vote too for tribal anarchy but amended with all the modern science and technology available to all of us.
