    "Everybody's Fancy" - Mr. Fred Rogers; an extended version for modern times. Endocrine Disrupting chemicals; trauma warning, death of a trans youth is discussed..

    "Everybody's Fancy" is a song by Fred Rogers which he performed on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood children's public TV show. He was gifted in imagination and in sharing it with others in person or through the new-fangled medium of television. He started in the very early days of programming. The song is about boys and girls and how our bodies are different but equally just great the way they are. I added a few stanzas for our modern times and think the song is still very relevant. I do not have Copyright permission but encourage you to sing along in the spirit of neighborliness and within the guidelines of Fair Use. The song is sung by Fred Rogers on the show many times over the years and a clip shows him from early years to later years - as cheerful and kind as ever. See: Was Mister Rogers a TERF? - by Mickey Z. - Post-Woke (substack.com) "Everybody's fancy", Fred Rogers, Lyrics with six additional lines by me: Some are fancy on the outside, Some are fancy on the inside, Chorus: Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine, Your body's fancy and so is mine. Stanza 2: Boys are boys from the beginning, Girls are girls right from the start. Stanza 3: (Only) girls can grow up to be the mommies, (Only) boys can grow up to be the daddies. Stanza 4: I think you're a special person and I like your ins and outsides. -> Copyright Fred Rogers estate. New Stanza 5: We grow up to be the workers. We grow up to be the leaders. New Stanza 6: Some may feel different on their insides. Some may feel different on their outsides. New Stanza 7: Some may feel like running bases. Some may feel like playing house. Everybody's happy, everybody's glad, That their body's healthy, and not a fad. Repeat chorus between each stanza except 7, and repeat Stanza 4 again at the end followed by the chorus again. *An initial version is included with the word 'Only' as Mr. Rogers sang it. It fits the tune better without the word and modern times too - slightly less abrasive without it. A second version with a new Stanza 7 chorus is included as an opening in case people don't want to hear about endocrine disrupting chemicals - the trauma part is in the second half though.

  2. Salt to taste.

    Salt to taste.

    Let appetite become your educated guide towards good health. Our taste bud receptors are found not only on our tongue, but also in many organs and cell types throughout the body. They sense our body's nutrient levels and signal our brain to let us know we should be hungry for more of something.  There are five main types of taste receptors - sweet, salty, sour/acidic, bitter, and umami - a protein savory flavor of glutamate and a few other free amino acid activators of that type of chemical receptor.  Bitter taste receptors also can perform medicinal functions when they are located in other types of cells than on the tongue. If we pay attention to what foods and tastes help us feel better we can learn over time to eat what we need in the amounts that our body needs and is satisfied with - because its needs were met - the hunger, the craving was fulfilled. When we don't know what we are hungry for, specifically, we may end up over-eating, nibbling small amounts of many things as we subconsciously seek a food that will supply the nutrients we need at that moment. On a sweaty hot day it might be salt. After a difficult test or problem, it might be a sweet to replenish the brain energy levels.  Transcript: Salt to Taste! The episode Crankiness - hot and thirsty health has more about how dehydration of water or salt can affect our mood negatively. The series Hangry & Hanxious Part Two discusses glutamate and other factors that may increase a bad mood later in the day from overstimulation. See the episode Fear and Immunity for more about Covid and nutrients that help immune function including citrus peel.  More information about: Citrus Peel The episode series Problem Solving and Terpenes includes more about geraniol and how tasting foods may lead to what our bodies need.  Disclaimer: Opinions are my own and the information is provided for educational purposes within the guidelines of fair use.

    Ether Pop - Universal Consciousness

    Ether may be the life energy known as Chi  or prana. It flows like water and is attracted to water. Ether is part of us and everything, and is throughout the universe. It has been measured in a few different ways by scientists in the area of astrophysics and in life sciences in humans and plants. It can be seen as blueish light in wet sand occasionally and may be the healing force in a wet sand or mud pack.  Physics took a wrong turn in 1887 and is still on that wrong path of thinking that the long standing theory of ether filling space was proven wrong - null.  No, zero effect was not measured, simply a smaller force of energy was measured than the 1887 experiment hypothesis had stated - so null results. Null means hypothesis was not proven, it does not mean 'zero'.  See Physics took a wrong turn in 1887 and the meaning of null. - The first in a short series. Dielectric orgone blankets. Happy Birthday Einstein; Gravity. Ether theory applied - re-greening an African nation, Eritrea. Ether Theory? Our ticket to outer space?. Love and hate - we are a mixture and ether may respond in quantum ways responding to positive or negative thought - proof of that? No, Do we need more negativity though? No. Universal consciousness may involve quantum entanglement of free pairs of quarks - which can contain a holographic amount of information about a thing - or living being possibly. The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science, a book by Thomas Troward includes similar ideas about ether and  the mental power of positive thinking. It was written in the 1920s before ether theory was completely dismissed due to Albert Einstein's work on relativity and gravity.  Read online (gutenberg.org).

    Ether Pop

    Ether energy fills our universe and us and everything. It may be the force behind gravity with two vectors of flow supporting a planet or moon in addition to the orbit path around the sun. Ether energy can be healing and is attracted to water and coalesces and spirals in a flowing water like pattern. We can see the path in spiral Nebula in outer space.  Love and gratitude is appreciated, the energy force seems to also be our collective unconscious - universal oneness understood by many to be a loving god. Connection to others is love, is heaven-like, and disconnection, disruption, is the chaos of entropy - lack of coalescing and flow. Ether energy that is exposed to radiation can become sickening. Weather patterns include the force and flow of ether energy and drought is likely when it becomes stagnant or full or radiation effects.  See the most recent series of posts on this site for more information on the topic: earth-ocean.info. There is likely an energy form after death and it may involve free pairs of quarks and any quark entanglements - connections we made during life, whether positive or negative. Consciousness in the out-of-body energy form has been described by one writer as more diffuse, less specifically you and your memories, we'll find out eventually - or we won''t. Belief, faith, may also be important in addition to gratitude. Love connects, love organizes, heaven on earth and in our hearts and minds and souls. Hate is disruptive, disconnecting and may also become embedded in our minds. Practicing more positive statements may help to embed those in our minds and lead to more pleasant feelings in our mind and body. This episode is singing - Ether Pop - a new genre! Peace and love to you.

  5. Fear and Immunity

    Fear and Immunity

    Fear of infection is instinctual. We have a natural reaction to get away from anything that seems disgusting - which includes slimy, sticky, yellowish-green things that may be reminding us of spoiled food which can be a risk of infectious disease, or of nasal mucus which can also be a source of infection. Fear may also tend to make us pretend there is no risk which wouldn't help us survive or a fear reaction of fighting might occur or trying to seek someone to blame - which also wouldn't necessarily help with survival if a problem is already present. What is the percent controllable - what can you directly do about a problem?  A sense of control can help reduce stress levels while a sense of helplessness may lead to freezing up in a fear response of watchful inaction, which might help avoid a predator that senses motion but wouldn't help against an infectious microbe. Healthy habits are within our percent controllable and healing foods can help give the body what it needs to fight infection. Many healing foods and phytonutrients were mentioned in the Nrf2 - The Grocery List episode. Image - an orange peeled with a sharp knife so the white pith is left on the sweet orange wedges. The white pith is a good source of phytonutrients including Nobiletin which may help our body switch from inflammatory pathways of an active day into the healing anti-inflammatory pathways of a good night's rest.

    Nrf2 - The Grocery List

    The Double Bonus episode, Nrf2 - The Grocery List, has an overview of the health benefits and an extended list of foods that may help reduce inflammation by inhibiting the inflammatory pathways and increasing immune function and beneficial antioxidant production. The Bonus episode, Love Flavor & Fragrance, includes beneficial foods that help reduce inflammation - which may help reduce obsessive thinking and make forgiving - letting go  - a little easier, by reducing excess calcium and NMDA receptor activity.  Too much inflammation can lead to over-activity of NMDA receptors which can cause excess dopamine which may cause compulsive thoughts or behaviors, (willie 2014), and over the long term may be part of the degenerative problem leading to Alzheimer's Dementia. (Sil 2015) The Trailer, Love & Forgiveness, has a Goal for the day - love forgiveness, and a wish for a Happy Valentine's Day! and hope for everyone to have an enjoyable day, today and everyday! A funny quote by Mark Twain was also shared - “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” - so funny, so sad, and so true - it turns out. The Main episode,  Forgiveness - The Scent of Violets, takes us on a journey around the internet in search of the scent of violet. Image: Nrf2 Promoting Foods graphic.
