LONG NOTES:
Science book review. Pg 163: We do not have free will, it is an illusion. In Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will, a neuroscientist argues that we have no free will and that our choices are made by circumstances beyond our control.

AARP-vaccines prevent dementia. Just getting a flu vaccine reduces your risk of Alzheimer’s by 40%. The immune response develops cells that consume plaque in the brain that otherwise grows to cause Alzheimers. From KF: “just fewer than half of all adults and about 58% of kids” receive a seasonal flu vaccine every year. However, bivalent COVID booster immunizations have lagged with only 21% of US adults receiving the booster.” the emerging “Tripledemic“. The name became a part of lexicon last year when we saw the emergence of three respiratory viruses at the same time – namely, flu (influenza), COVID-19 and, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).
Science 6 Oct-pg65-Inflammation causes buildup of mutated hematopoietic stem cells, and risk greatly increases with age. This contributes to heart failure and atherosclerosis. Chronic inflammation also causes hyperactivation of immune response contributing to asthma and pulmonary fibrosis
The number of physicians in the USA has increased by roughly 23% over the period of 2010 – 2022 from 850,085 to 1,404,734 physicians;
From Kevin F: there was a recent article in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease by a team of researchers at Virginia Tech School of Medicine that outlined a series of dietary deficiencies that are prominent among Alzheimer’s patients. They include:
- Vitamin E – my personal favorite derived from sunflower oil, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin, asparagus, avocados. It’s my personal favorite because of one of my medical school professors who was a very strong Vitamin E advocate and the reason I’ve been taking it for XX years .
- Retinol– derived from cheese, eggs, fish, yogurt, milk and liver as well as some other leafy vegetables and yellow fruits. It helps the immune system to protect from all manner of invasive elements to the human body.
- Zeaxanthin – from again eggs, oranges, grapes, corn, orange peppers and mango. It also protects the eyes from sun damage.
- Lycopene– derived from fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, tomatoes, apricots, guavas, red oranges and the like. Image that? For dinner last night we had portions of watermelon, apricots and oranges.
- Lutein – derived from egg yolks, corn, orange peppers, zucchinis, spinach, kale and, squash. We also had zucchini last night and this morning – as I noted above – there were plenty of egg yolks and spinach (with honey ham and cheese, of course). Lutein is often thought of as a dietary product for helping to prevent sun damage to the eyes.
And, finally, there’s the MIND (Mediterranean) diet of a minimum of six cups of fruits and vegetables each and every day.
