My 80-yr-old (not biological) brother is amazing. Recovering now from open heart surgery since stents wouldn’t have worked. 
Two time cancer survivor as well. He blames the vessel problem on the chemo he got, and not the 60 years of smoking, but who am I to argue, and why bother? My brother, let me tell you a little about him:
Community college in Lake Charles, degree in psychology.
Married a wonderful woman, and stayed married until she died a few years ago.
Learned Russian.
In the military, stationed in Germany.
Once home, opened a pet store.
Raising Bettas, and became the national editor of the Siamese Fighting Fish “magazine” (a pamphlet).
Deputy sheriff.
Professional photographer, mostly weddings.
National chess ranking, competing around the country.
Sold insurance.
Repaired black wood clarinets.
Taught 8th grade science.
Set type for his wife’s church.
Grew bonsai trees.
Rock hound.
Making home made hammered dulcimers.
Avid Trump suppporter.
World expert in Betta fish genetics, lauded on the society’s web page by people around the world. “Your contributions are legendary.”
Developed water supply system to scores of individual small containers to raise the fish - then found he had 100% female fry. Deduced it was due to the proximity to the city’s water supply so had to add a method to clean it of chemicals. Successful. So, about 20 years ago when he came to California to see the Sequoias and gather rocks, I went through the litany. “Jim, do I remember right? Did you…”
”Well. When I was in Germany….I was a ‘spy’. I was translating intercepted Russian communications for our military.” Already the coolest big brother in the world, he had to go and be a freakin spy
About 5 years ago I mailed back to him all his original Elvis 45s that I’d kept and played over the years. They weren’t worth much, but they were his so he should have them back.
We’ve had our differences (see “Trump supporter” above) but as we both have gotten older, there’s no reason we can’t be friends.

ok, once I got to the dulcimers I was thinking, no way!
.... actually you had me at the black wood clarinets.
I love people like him.   My Dad was a bit the same, rock hound, radio ham, started a hiking club, was a top hunter and taught fire arms safety, was a key member of local SAR, grew mushrooms in a shed out the back (no not those ones), taught himself to weld, made a trailer, was a very fine illustrator. I have no idea what kind of politics he would have pursued, but I am pretty sure we would have had major fights on that score too. politics isn't everything.

Lot's of reading yesterday and for the first time ever looking at how it ends, if something else doesn't get you first.  Next month will be the 15th anniversary of my transplant.

And so begins a new fork in the road.  Regular infusions and I only have one major serviceable vein left that is primarily used for phlebotomies and it usually blows out (infiltrates) when we infuse just saline.  I've already had four different ports so options are limited.

Also learned that having Covid also results in a marked reduction in IgG post infection.

Yee haw !

Tartary Buckwheat in Human Nutrition

 In Tartary buckwheat, quercetin complexation with starch molecules has an impact on the in vitro digestibility of the starch and the appearance of resistant starch, thus altering the physicochemical properties of the Tartary buckwheat starch <66>. The effects of this quercetin–polyphenol complexation indicate that food products based on Tartary buckwheat will show lower digestibility. Indeed, the quercetin in Tartary buckwheat can reduce body weight, serum triacylglycerols, and low-density lipoprotein. In rats, a diet with 0.1% quercetin was shown to have significant effects towards lowering low-density lipoprotein concentrations in serum, with no such effects on high-density lipoprotein.

Tartary buckwheat has also been shown to prevent increases in body weight and fat deposition during high-fat intake in rats, although on the other hand, this was reported to protect against hepatic stenosis <67>. A buckwheat diet can also reduce insulin and ameliorate glucose intolerance in humans <19>

One of the many tidbits.  We've been talking about glucose levels in here.  It is a very long read but easy to understand and very likely worth the read.

Edit: one more 

Cyclitols (also known as D-chiro-inositols) have also been reported for Tartary buckwheat grain (0.18–0.20%) <81>. The synthesis of cyclitols is triggered by environmental parameters like salt stress and drought, and they can function as cryoprotectants. Accumulation of cyclitol metabolites is directly connected with abiotic stress factors. The environmental conditions of plants thus have an impact on the regulation of metabolic pathways for synthesis and accumulation of cyclitols <82>.  These compounds are known to have anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and other bioactivities in humans, as reviewed by Ratiu et al. <82>.

This ain't snake oil.

I bit.  We just added it to the diet.  Be interesting to see how it works.

C2C is more than just CT's and aliens ...


I stopped eating bread, cereal, goatmeal and anything with wheat or white flour in it. I've been eating Yuckwheat or sorghum  for breakfast. I mix in Chia Pet seeds and fresh ground flax seed, cinnamon, almond milk and fresh ground gloves to it and cook it in a pressure cooker. Doesn't taste as much like cardboard with the other ingredients. 
I've also been taking a supplement with Quercetin and Bromelain. 
One  improvement was that my triglycerides went from 150 down to 60 and my 'good' cholesterol went from 44 to 67.

 I'm not celiac but i had an autoimmune problems after getting lyme disease about 8 years ago...the last step to my recovery was eliminating gluten - wheat, barley, rye.  
If eat bread, slice of pizza...inflammation takes over and I feel like crap for the next day or two.

And quercetin is a great supplement, add with zinc at the first sign of a cold.

Last weekend on C2C there was a show dealing with systemic inflammation and gut health.

About the show

Dr. Tom O'Bryan, an internationally recognized speaker and writer on chronic disease and metabolic disorders, joined guest host Lisa Garr (email) to discuss topics related to health and inflammation. He delved into the concept of inflammation and its central role in chronic diseases, explaining how lifestyle factors activate the immune system, leading to inflammation, which in turn fuels various chronic conditions. Dr. O'Bryan stressed the importance of understanding this mechanism and addressing lifestyle factors to reduce inflammation and potentially reverse autoimmune diseases. Regardless of the specific disease diagnosis, the underlying mechanism involving inflammation remains the same, he noted.

Dr. O'Bryan provided a comprehensive explanation of gut health, emphasizing its crucial role in overall well-being. He revealed how the immune system and gut work together, highlighting the body's defense mechanisms against harmful substances. He advocated for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, while also emphasizing the importance of proper hydration. Gut health plays a significant role in maintaining optimal physical and cognitive function, he reiterated.

Dr. O'Bryan also explained how the consumption of wheat can trigger inflammation and leaky gut syndrome in many individuals due to certain proteins present in wheat. He revealed how gluten activates immune responses in the gut, leading to inflammation. He cautioned against assuming that gluten-free products are entirely safe, pointing out the potential for cross-contamination and the need for care when consuming such foods.

We've been talking about inflammation and what it does to our bodies, so this was one stop shopping on this kind of an update.  This biggest takeaway from the show for me was learning about Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat.  Gluten free, powerful antioxidant and more importantly anti-inflammatory and very high in protein.

Did some poking around after the show and found this on the food from the NIH.

Tartary Buckwheat in Human Nutrition

 In Tartary buckwheat, quercetin complexation with starch molecules has an impact on the in vitro digestibility of the starch and the appearance of resistant starch, thus altering the physicochemical properties of the Tartary buckwheat starch [66].
