Down at 10:19. I looked, several times, and remember this time. Up at 18:30, give or take, just a few.
I brought pants down, to be washed. And a few shirts. But a shower first. Then laundry started. And, then, finally, the rest of the freezertop. I did get started on that, but just failed to complete. Fine, I'll... get it tonight.
Trying to remember where I am with medicine. With day and night spinning like a top, even remembering what I too, and when, is a trick. But... I think I took "morning" pills a bit before bedtime... in... the morning. :p See what I did there? Well, I didn't do it, it just happened, and I noticed.
I don't think I took the cod liver oil, and know I didn't take "night" medicine (or the supplements). So those are on the short list of things to do. I'll have that with coffee. The water is, or was, heating. It has an half hour time-off. So it is probably cooling as I write. No problem, easy fix.
Some eggs with that, the last of them. I have been eating those regularly. Three to five at a time, with fatted coffee, because eating is... good! I've missed it. I'll see about three dozen this next week. Oh, and besides the best feed, the chickens have a large fenced in yard so as to be able to free range during the day. Does that help? I'm not sure about meat birds, but I do believe it does for egg birds. Plus? It's... just good for the birds. A... generosity, kindness? And I think those things pay dividends, here and there.
I am hoping to finish a few loads of laundry, clear the freezertop, pull meat, get a shower, and at least start dishes tonight. Just a few batches, as I want a shower tomorrow, again. Oh, and I'll change my bandage. It's time. I think I can get these things done tonight. We'll see... I've been doing and getting and moving... closer, closer, some of it, then more. I've got just a bit of a headstart on several things.
Later.
Memory problems, confusion, dull, lethargic,... these were all described to me as symptoms of my liver not getting rid of the ammonia that builds up from eating more protein than that damaged organ can handle.
ReplyDeleteThe ammonia and other toxins build to the point they affect the brain. I was given a script to flush the ammonia out, (is also a laxative) Lactulose (Cephulac) I take a dose or series of, when I smell ammonia maybe once a month, maybe. whoops, expired in Oct.
Was with my dad at a few of his appointments for cancer and liver failure.
Cancer Doc: "Keep pushing the protein! its helping"... so we load up on ensure (one of the few things he could eat and "prepare" himself)
Liver Doc: "gotta cut out fat and protein, liver can't handle it."... Now what?
Step-sis (executor of estate) is a nutritionist at the same medical-industrial complex, couldn't keep up with contradictory ever changing dietary orders for him. Once in Hospice it was just let him have what he wants.
Bits-n-more bits.
Cottage cheese and Sauerkraut, a handfull of vitamins & supplements... Breakfast of champions!
Yes, I... just... recently sorted out the ammonia thing, for myself. Like... within the last few dyas. Or... sort of. I had heard this, somewhere. The ammonia smell, I get that from time to time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, no one has bothered offering that med. Not sure I would take it, either. I'd... have to research it. If it makes diabetes worse, than I wouldn't take it.
One thing they don't bother with is making sure medicine doesn't make diabetes, insulin resistance, worse. And... that is what will destroy the other organs the fastest.
Though, too? Keto/carnivore breath? I think that might cause an odor that is similar? So... I am just not sure which it is. Ugh.
As to doctors? I simply think they don't know any more than we do, maybe less about our own bodies (if we bother to trial and error things). The one thing I seem to see is that doctors absolutely, to a man, hate the carnivore diet. For me, that says... it's a good thing. Even if they are trying to be legit.
Yes, at some point, they need to let people just eat what they can. How many people's lives have they destroyed telling them to eat fruits, veggies, and grains, and avoid meat (and eggs at one time)... to eat seed oils, and the rest? You would think, as practitioners, they really would know? Then again, they definitely knew about the vax. How many of them just dosed with saline, and gave that to the nurses too? Some true believers, but not many.
Yeah, that Lactulose is sooooo sweet (too sweet), but you'd think they'd have a formula for diabetics. Probably some super sweet artificial chemical.
ReplyDeleteTangent: Why so sweet, I thought medicine was supposed to taste bad so you won't take it without good reason; now, make it taste like candy so they'll use MOOoore!
"Keto/carnivore breath" Logic problem: If a damaged liver can't handle "normal" amounts of protein so ammonia builds up to be a symptom. Would it be a stretch to say that a healthy liver dealing with an "extraordinary amount" of protein, may be overwhelmed and allow an ammonia buildup?
More questions we're not supposed to ask?
Oh, no. The thing about this diet is you are SUPPOSED to break it down, tear it apart, look at it sideways, upside down, and else.
ReplyDeleteAs to your question? If you have an issue with protein, it is easy, and actually encouraged, to lower protein. The most dogmatic carnivore side of the keto spectrum suggests only 20% protein, which IS less than the standard American diet. The rest, at 80% of the meal, is supposed to be fat. I think, below that, would be bad, because you wouldn't be getting nutrients (and, no, carbs do NOT provide nutrients meat wouldn't provide better). And more fat isn't probably doable, anyway? Bleh.
Of course, my (and maybe your) problem is eating enough fat, due to nausea from the melting of poisoned body fats, into our systems. The answer to that? Move that way as possible.
There isn't a perfect answer, much like there isn't a way to square a corner. Even when you get good at things, it'll never be perfect... for food or driving. It'll just... be better.
