I would add that mitochondria are highly susceptible to EMI/EMR exposure, antibiotics (which is why glysophate is so detrimental as it is firstly and foremost an antibiotic), and nanopollutants. Also the emphasis on proper sweating during daily mpvement, circadian rhythms, and vagal tone (mitochondria are environmental sensors, exquisitely primed to stress fluctuations), cannot be more critical to address, particularly as an individual ages.😉🤗

Thanks! I wrote that kind of quick this morning. * I updated the post with your comment and a couple more of my graphics on topic.

By vagal tone do you mean do the vagal breathing techniques? * I searched it, thanks "Vagal tone is a measure of cardiovascular function that facilitates adaptive responses to environmental challenge. Low vagal tone is associated with poor emotional and attentional regulation in children and has been conceptualized as a marker of sensitivity to stress. [...] Low vagal tone is associated with internalizing psychopathology in adolescents exposed to high levels of stressors. Measurement of vagal tone in clinical settings might provide useful information about sensitivity to stress in child and adolescent clients." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4076387/

Thanks Jennifer!

Love the spoon story. Sending it to the siblings, let them know what they have to look forward to.

You are an inspiration, providing such thoughtful care to your mom.

I might try that niacin flush - it would be nice to have my body make it's own heat for a change! I love my heat lamps, but they are a bit inconvenient!

Melatonin - I was using quite a lot for sleep, and then recommended to a friend. She woke up with a headache! Then we found out that 'melatonin hangover' is a thing. Ugh. Including fatigue, my number 1 nemesis. Still trying to calibrate. But your info about it being an anti-viral is new to me, maybe helps to keep EBV under control....

I am adding pomegranate, with pith, to salad most days now.

Thank you for bringing us all this excellent info !!

very welcome Phar!

I don't take melatonin for sleep, I take it during the day, ideally 15 minutes prior to my niacin dose. The high dose for CoV broke up 600 mg into 5 doses taken throughout the whole day.

I take roughly 10-20 mg three times a day - as a powder. It is a tiny smidge with a bitter taste that I follow with a drink of water.
