I saw this thread on Twitter on Inositol. https://twitter.com/acesounderglass/status/1622013321192017921 I think I'm going to give it a one month N of 1 trial and see if I find anything worthwhile. Even if I think it could be beneficial, I realize there could be confounding factors, such as placebo effect. But, I think it might be … Continue reading Inositol

Imagined Realities, Evidence & The Singular
"An 'imagined reality' is an addictive mental drug that humans are infatuated with. It cures the frustration brought about by the constraints of the actual reality. Like a physical drug, it could cure pain and make life in prison more tolerable, but it could also take away life if used excessively. It brings communities with … Continue reading Imagined Realities, Evidence & The Singular
N of 1 Experiment: Hafnia Alvei for Weight Loss
"An experimental probiotic aids weight loss in overweight people following a calorie-control diet. Previous studies by Pierre Déchelotte at Rouen University Hospital in France and his colleagues suggest that orally administering the gut bacterium Hafnia alvei helps obese mice lose weight. The probiotic produces a molecule called ClpB that mimics the appetite-reducing hormone alpha-MSH. Now, the researchers have found that the bacterium has similar effects in … Continue reading N of 1 Experiment: Hafnia Alvei for Weight Loss
2020 Experiments: Exercise & Running Program
Open Question: What is a reasonable program for people to follow to develop a good level of fitness? I've been thinking a bit about the 2018 Experiment: HIIT Burpee and Running Program. The challenge of that program was to met a minimal standard for health, which I define using the American Heart Association standards: 25 … Continue reading 2020 Experiments: Exercise & Running Program
Semi-Auto Cut-Up: Experimental Condition
Pixels without proverbial provenance, they both knew what they were. Buffet Buddhists, defying cages, tagged for progressive classification. Wonder world, inexpressible problems, all lonely, we live with each other. Chronic complainers, a hundred times a hundred, gloomy mind experiments. The emotional surface of lost futures. Do we know enough to know the truth? Unconscious man … Continue reading Semi-Auto Cut-Up: Experimental Condition
Today’s Experiment
"'But I hear the voices,' he tells me. 'I hear people say, 'Why doesn't he just be funny?' That stuff has just never mattered to me. To me, it's like, this is the experiment tonight. If you enjoy it, great, if you don't, that's cool, too. There'll be another one tomorrow.'" —Jim Carrey quoted in … Continue reading Today’s Experiment
2018 Experiments, 1st Quarter Follow-up
New Year resolutions always seem like an exercise in futility. Everyone does them. But, it is difficult to get the social support to make any kind of New Year resolution work. Failure is expected. Starting out in the aftermath of a holiday like New Year's Eve probably doesn't help much either. New Year's resolutions tend … Continue reading 2018 Experiments, 1st Quarter Follow-up
2018 Experiment: Daily Meditation
Background: "Mere intellectual understanding is not enough. It is not by leaving the doctor's prescription by the bedside or learning it by heart that we are cured. We must integrate what we have learned so that our understanding becomes intimately bound up into our mind's flow. Then, it ceases to be theory and becomes self-transformation. … Continue reading 2018 Experiment: Daily Meditation
2018 Experiment: HIIT Burpee and Running Program
Background: Maintaining a minimum fitness standard is a challenge, particularly as we age. American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations focused on HIIT strength training and running suggests two sessions of HIIT strength training and three sessions of running for twenty-five minutes each. HIIT program criteria: It can be done anywhere. It requires no equipment. It takes less … Continue reading 2018 Experiment: HIIT Burpee and Running Program
