Quantum physics?

[park_bear in reply to Cons10s]

No, just some very awesome biochemistry.

As someone with training in physics and engineering it really is a sore point with me how often and how inappropriately quantum mechanics gets invoked to explain spiritual phenomena. As you and I are both personally aware, there is a reality to the subtle energies. The physics of how these energies interact with conventional manner is currently unknown territory. It does not help to pretend otherwise. As practitioners we have practical methods to interact with these energies and that suffices.

Mithochondria , a complex structure created to perform in an orderly and intelligent way a function of creating chemical energy for the body.

IMO Function and structure is an interesting subdivision of the problem where function is established at first by a higher intelligence to solve a problem related to the body. Can the structure be improved by taking care of the function? It would seem so and it is not a mechanical question.

[MBAnderson in reply to park_bear]

Really cool. Thanks.

The complexities are barely comprehensible.

Whoever invented these mitochondria should get a Nobel prize.

I wish whoever created the 2nd video would apply themselves to PD.

Fascinating, but not easy...

[park_bear in reply to WinnieThePoo]

There will not be an exam on this material

My purpose was just to give an appreciation for these essential helpers. A full understanding would require more background material plus a lot of study.

very nice ..try this...youtube.com/watch?v=KLjgBLw...(Not working as expected?) cheers!

goto you tube and type in Dr Terry Wahles minding your mitochondria......Ted X

Summary of brain healthy nutrients:

These protect the brain: 1:18

Creatine

Fish Oil

co-enzyme Q 10 (coQ10 for short)

Myelin protects the brain, it needs: 2:14

Vitamins:

B1 - thiamine

B9 - folate (folic acid)

B12 - cyanocobalamin

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Iodine

Neurotransmitters need: 3:06

Sulfur

B6 - pyridoxine

To make mitochondria to thrive: 3:20

B vitamins

sulfur

anti-oxidants

Generalized arguments for a more nutrient rich diet. - 4:08

Where to get these nutrients from food? (~9:00)

9 cups of veg and berries a day before, grain, potatoes, dairy, and meats

3 cups of green leaves - 9:15

kale being a big deal (kale chips, juiced, salad, in soups etc.), parsley, cilantro, dark leafy greens.

3 cups sulfer rich vegetables: - 10:15

The cabbage family (that explains the smell when you cook it) including, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, rutabaga, & radishes.

The onion family: onions, garlic, leeks, chives, shallots

Mushrooms and asparagus

3 cups bright colored veg/fruit - 10:54

Colors are high in flavonoids and anti-phenols (antioxidants)

Some veg: Beets, carrots, cabbage (red), peppers (sweet and spicy), etc.

Some fruits: Blueberries, strawberries, peaches, oranges, rasberries, blackberries, etc.

Animal protein profile - 11:25

Daily, unknown quantity:

Wild fish = omega 3 fatty acids = Myelin and straight teeth

Salmon and herring

Grass fed meat

Once a week, unknown quantity:

Organ meats = vitamins, minerals, and coenzyme Q (coQ10)

liver, heart, tongue, gizzard, sweat breads.

Iodine - 12:15

necessary for removing heavy metals

low levels increase cancer risk

Once a week: seaweed (sushi anyone?) - iodine, and selenium

I have started the Wahl’s diet. 1.5 weeks in and I feel pretty good. I will post in 100 days and let everyone know how it has effected me.

[chartist]

I wish they had showed how melatonin is produced in the mitochondria and how it implements its mitochondrial protective effects. Also a description of how melatonin is drawn into the mitochondria when native levels drop.

try this flick Art,

youtube.com/watch?v=lqz2xE-...(Not working as expected?)

searched for '' you tube how melatonin is produced in the mitochondria '' '

[chartist in reply to Sapeye2020]

Sapeye, thank you for the video link! They crammed a lot of process into 18 minutes.

[Sapeye2020 in reply to chartist]

Yes, I was impressed that he hardly drew a breath.

If you use the search string you can get more of them from 1 -2 minutes to 1 Hr +

[Sapeye2020 in reply to Sapeye2020]

Art, I just watched another flick , even shorter, 11 min., a little clearer I believe. I'm going to have to dig out my Organic Chemistry out to refresh some of the basics..I know I am not getting the message fully.
