I'm going to have to read this in small bits since it is so hard to see the same egregious errors repeated. So similar to what happened to my daughter here in the US.

Detecting neuroinflammation with brain imaging
Dr Jarred Younger discusses a type of PET scan ( [18F]DPA-714 ) that detects neuroinflammation. The scan was used in a study that found inflammation in specific brain regions in people with fibromyalgia.

Do you take it as l-carnitine or ALCAR?

There are some illnesses for which you only get help if you are very lucky or very rich - doesn't seem to matter which country.

On the left, there's Too Strong Coffee, which is sustainable, etc. but also partners with progressive news organizations such as Cenk Uygur's TYT.

Fajgenbaum's story is really fascinating, and I think, instructive.
He pointed out to his oncologist the pupura that would appear right before a disease flare; his dr's response was it was nothing to worry about. But Fajgenbaum was not 'worried' about them, he was pointing them out since they might indicate something about the disease process. The appearance of the pupura were what lead him to anti VEGF therapy as a means of suppressing flares.
The above is from memory, and I don't have time to review, so my apologies if incorrect.
I think it was this interview that I saw, but YT says I have not watched it -

"One intriguing fact is that we observed a high proportion of low average performance in our sample of patients (which has a high average level of education), including immediate and late verbal episodic memory, phonological and semantic verbal fluency, immediate visuospatial episodic memory, processing speed, and inhibitory control."

Very interesting!
Wonder why they didn't test fisetin.

It's upsetting that it is known that pregnant people can have preeclampsia symptoms before lab tests show anything wrong, and yet HCPs still dismiss patients' reports of symptoms:

There is research on finding a predictive biomarker - but why did it take so long to start looking?

I'm pretty mad - but will try not to post a rant.
I found building materials in 'Cypress Blend' mulch, purchased from Lowes Hardware - bits of painted wood, particle board, plywood, aluminum (window frame?), plastic foam.
I knew that the dyed stuff was no good. I guess I should have known better because of the word 'Blend'. It was under a sign saying 'Hardwood Mulch' - so I thought perhaps there's some other hardwoods in there. Nope - 'Blend' means a shredded up old house that might have been from an era when building materials included stuff like lead paint and asbestos.
Last year I had bought Cypress mulch from Home Depot and it smelled great. After it had been in my car, it seemed like I could breathe easier. But this stuff was not aromatic - that also should have tipped me off.
I will be returning the 2 bags I did not open and the other stuff will get put into Yard Waste - don't know what else to do with it. It does not seem suitable for land that grows food.

Anyone have any experience with either Mendi or Muse 2 or Muse Sleep for -
- anxiety
- focus, ADHD
- pain
- depression
- fatigue
- sleep quality
Any side effects? Could either worsen fatigue?
Did it help? Was it worth the price tag

I'm just letting things go a bit. I'm exhausted. The leaf footed bugs are back, the plants are starting to senesce. I know when I'm beat.

Even after the flowers are long gone, I see wasps crawling about on the ends of yard long bean tendrils. Is there nectar still being produced?

"They grew the microalgae under artificial light ..."
An ideal situation would be growing under natural light in someplace sunny (but not necessarily outdoors as mentioned later in article) & possibly using sewage for nutrients. They didn't mention if the algae were engineered for production efficiency. 1/

It's been cool lately, but that will change. Is it too late to plant beets in 7b central North Carolina? Any recommendations for heat tolerant beets? Last year I was able to grow lettuce throughout the summer heat using intensive planting of a heat tolerant lettuce mix - I was wondering if beets might be possible, also.

Do you have an inoculant brand that you like? I tried a sample of Plant Revolution's Great White last year & was impressed, but their prices are ridiculous, especially if purchased directly from them vs Amazon (where reviewers are saying their packages arrived looking tampered with).

Thanks - I think I will get a Jiro. They are similar to Fuyu & that's what I've used as a GERD remedy (not responsive to PPIs or Pepcid ).
What do you think about using a mycorrhizal inoculant when planting?

Thanks! Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. What you you think of the Jiro?

There are +ve reviews on Dave's Garden:
https://onegreenworld.com/product/jiro-asian-persimmon/
But temp swings have been getting wilder in recent years.
Priggioni recommends Nikita's Gift hybrid - I'm guessing it might tolerate temp swings better:

But it's astringent & I'd like option to make dried fruit - might not be possible w/ astringent 1/

I want to plant a persimmon tree in my small backyard and would like variety recommendations.
I'm in central North Carolina, Zone 7b, Trewartha code Cfhl. Last winter it got down to 11 deg F (-12 C).
The tree would need to be self-fertile ; prefer non-astringent.
