My employer has been putting finishing touches on a health tracking app that I'm indirectly connected to. Been helping consult on it as part of my role at http://selfresearch.org

We're looking to crowdfund & release it for free! https://indiegogo.com/projects/civitas-a-personalized-risk-and-relief-app#/

I care a lot about data privacy + ownership. I have a strong opinions against centralized tracking. I am happy w/ direction we're going with the app and am looking forward to where this heads in the future.

Woo, ain't there nothin' you can do?
I say, woo, to relieve your belly ache
You say, well woo, ain't there nothin' I can do?
I say woo, woo, to relieve your belly ache
You say ya, ain't there nothin' I can do?

Put a lime in the coconut and throw them together.
Put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, throw them down the road
Put the lime in your coconut, and gamble till the morning

Now lemme get this straight
They put the lime in the coconut, and throw them down the road?
Put the lime in the coconut, and throw them down the road?
Put the lime in the coconut, and throw them down the road?
They put the lime in the coconut, you call your policeman, woke 'I'm up?

Singing, "Roll up, bowl a ball, a dime a pitch!"
Singing, "Roll up, bowl a ball, a dime a pitch!"
Roll up, bowl a ball
Roll up, bowl a ball
Singing, "Roll up, bowl a ball, a dime a pitch!"

I've got a lovely bunch of limes,
So I put them in coconuts, while standing in the road.

Sweet ones, sour ones, some so acidic it'd wake the dead.

And they say "policeman! Ain't their nothing you can do?"
And they say "policeman! To stop this illegal gambling poo."

"Normally, toys tied to major film franchises are among the most popular products headed into the holidays, but studios have delayed the release of major new movies because of coronavirus. So classic products are experiencing a mini-renaissance."

LMFAO, barbiturates have direct action on immune function and hsp.

"a randomized, controlled trial where patients were either given insulin coma treatment or identical treatment but with unconsciousness produced by barbiturates. There was no difference in outcome between the groups and the authors concluded that, whatever the benefits of the coma regimen, insulin was not the specific therapeutic agent."

Don't know if a HSP is causal of seizure, or if it's just a marker. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/pdf/S2211-1247(18)31962-4.pdf

But I find it interesting that insulin overdose can cause sizures and sizures are a common issue in diabetes type 1 when blood sugar is bad.

Just watched an episode of Dr. house where he tried insulin shock to fix an hallucination. Almost killed him.

Someone asked "can melatonin make you trip" on Reddit. And I figured out it could atleast induce a fever dream and possibly a seizure.

Other possible causal chains include a weird cyclic issue around serotonin->melatonin & metabolic weirdness. https://www.intechopen.com/books/carbohydrate/melatonin-a-silent-regulator-of-the-glucose-homeostasis

Seizure -> melatonin
https://www.healthline.com/health/melatonin-and-epilepsy
Melatonin + light = body temp
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpi.12583#:~:text=Bright%20light%20exposure%20after%20melatonin%20ingestion%20does%20not%20reduce%20subjective,while%20decreasing%20distal%20skin%20temperature.

Body temp = heat shock protein

Hsp = seizure?

I am a dwarf.
A hole I dig.
Once was small
