JOT Day 67, 68, 69 - Three, two one, Contact

Watched the flick Contact with Jodee Foster.

It's withstood the test of time well, I think, given that it doesn't look immediately dated when the first shot rolls out.

I identified with Jodee's character and all the questioning, in her own mind and in the minds of others, of what the bleep do we really know.

I feel like I've been around the universe and back these days myself.

But it's much better than standing still.

My fever broke a few days ago, and then all hell broke loose.

Just when you think things are like this, they're like that.

Ah, change. You are a fickle one.

Details to come as they sort themselves out.

Cuz I can't shut up.

JOT Day 64, 65, 66 - Regardless of our ethnic, religious, gender, or geographic origins OK, so maybe they weren't such vague flu-like symptoms. Maybe it was the flu after all. I haven't had the flu in ten years. Because ten years ago I changed my diet and stopped eating what was making me sick. But since I am a simple human, I have been backtracking, back-sliding, back-pedalling slow-w-w-w-ly over the past few months, until here I am, with the incontrovertible evidence. Immune system compromised. Bam. At least I know what to do about it now. It took me 40 years of listening to modern medicine and getting nowhere but sicker fast, but I learned. And now I pass that information on to those who are interested. If you are a bit of a left-brained geek like me--I am whip-lashed from the left- to the right-brained part of me on a regular basis--the "facts" in this book might be of interest. I put quotes around "facts" because that is such a subjective term. There are facts erupting all over the planet all the time--some of them we as a species bump into and name and quantify and misinterpret, and some of them we just allow to be and they sustain us, regardless of our ethnic, religious, gender, or geographic origins. It's a no-brainer which approach is more effective when the effective set of "facts" is used as criteria. "The combination of white sugar and white rice...is lethal. The removal of the B vitamins, among others, from the rice causes imbalance, for as the body seeks what it lacks, more B vitamins are leeched from the system in order to digest the white rice. Refined white sugar leeches the same vitamins for the same reason. The combination of refined flour and refined sugar spells double trouble." ~Sugar Blues, by William Dufty Some of us are the...

JOT Day 70 - Refined Sugar and my bundle of joy Brain fog still remains, but I do feel about 2000% better than I did one week ago. At times like these is when baby steps are even more valuable. They have even more impact than on days when we could tackle a gazillion things in our inboxes. SoI'm counting posting this update, for Day 70--woo hoo!--as my babystep, because I could so easily say screw it, I'm not doing it. And I am appreciating the amazing ability of my body/mind to right itself. With my assitance in giving it nutrients that don't cancel each other out--i.e. refined sugar, I'm taking off the load that put me where I am in the first place. Our bodies weren't built to process that stuff, and we each react to its presence in different ways. Mine particular ways and means are weight gain, of course, since each 4 grams of refined sugar equals a teaspoon of the stuff that eventually turns into body fat. For those of you who drink canned sugar water (pop), how many teaspoons of sugar do you eat a day? Multiply the number of sugar grams times the number of servings, and then divide by 4. It's amazing. My body also reacts to chemicals much more easily as a response to the load sugar puts on my system. And a repressed immune system. That's my bundle of joy too. Wah-h-h-h-h-h-h.
