stock here: let’s talk about joint pain. I think anyone over 50 has experienced some joint pain. I am not endorsing this site, it was from a long infomercial on Facebook

Vitamin D2, also known as ergocalciferol, is one of the two main forms of vitamin D — the other being D3 (cholecalciferol). Both D2 and D3 help regulate calcium and phosphorus in the body, which are essential for healthy bones, muscles, and nerves. However, there are some important distinctions and considerations regarding D2’s effects on joints:

🧬 What Is Vitamin D2?
Source: Found in plants, fungi, and fortified foods (e.g., some cereals and milk). It’s not naturally produced in the human body.

Synthetic Form: Often used in prescription vitamin D supplements.

Metabolism: D2 is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, which then undergoes further conversion in the kidneys to become active.

💪 How Vitamin D2 Affects Joints
While vitamin D is not a direct joint lubricant or painkiller, it supports joint health in several indirect but crucial ways:

1. Calcium Absorption and Bone Support
   Vitamin D (including D2) helps your gut absorb calcium, which is vital for strong bones and joint integrity.

Low vitamin D → decreased calcium absorption → weaker bones → joint instability and pain.

2. Cartilage Health
   Some evidence suggests vitamin D receptors exist in cartilage and chondrocytes (cells that maintain cartilage), meaning vitamin D may help preserve cartilage and slow osteoarthritis progression.
3. Anti-inflammatory Properties
   Vitamin D may suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-alpha) involved in joint inflammation.

Deficiency has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, stiffness, and increased joint pain.

⚖️ D2 vs. D3 for Joint Health
D3 (cholecalciferol) is more effective at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels.

D2 is less stable, has a shorter duration of action, and may be less effective in clinical use.

For joint health, D3 is generally preferred unless D2 is specifically prescribed.

⚠️ Risks of Too Little or Too Much
Deficiency: Joint pain, muscle weakness, increased fall and fracture risk, possibly worsened autoimmune symptoms (e.g., RA).

Toxicity (from overdose): Nausea, weakness, and in severe cases, calcification of soft tissues, which can damage joints and organs.

🔍 Summary
Vitamin D2 supports bone and joint health indirectly by improving calcium metabolism and reducing inflammation.

Deficiency can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and increased risk of arthritis.

D3 is usually preferred for supplementation due to higher potency and stability.

A neocon, short for neoconservative, refers to a political ideology that emerged in the United States, especially influential from the 1970s onward. Though originally rooted in liberal anti-communism, neoconservatism evolved into a distinct school of foreign policy hawkishness, combined with moderate to conservative social and economic views.

🧠 Core Beliefs of Neoconservatism

1. Interventionist Foreign Policy
   Strongly favor using U.S. military power to promote democracy and protect American interests abroad

Supported the Iraq War, Afghanistan intervention, and other military actions

See the U.S. as a global enforcer of liberal democratic values

2. American Exceptionalism
   Believe the U.S. has a moral duty to lead the world

Favor a unipolar world with U.S. dominance rather than multipolarity or isolationism

3. Pro-Israel Stance
   Nearly all neocons are strongly pro-Israel

See Israel as a key democratic ally in the Middle East

4. Skeptical of Multilateralism
   Distrustful of international bodies like the UN, EU, or International Criminal Court

Prefer unilateral or coalition-of-the-willing action over broad global consensus

5. Domestic Policy: Moderate to Conservative
   Support free-market capitalism, but more willing than libertarians to use government for moral or strategic ends

Often support welfare reform, tax cuts, and school choice

Socially more moderate than religious conservatives, though still value traditional norms

👥 Famous Neocons
Name Role
Irving Kristol “Godfather” of neoconservatism
Bill Kristol Editor of The Weekly Standard
Paul Wolfowitz Architect of the Iraq War under Bush
Richard Perle Defense policy advisor, “Prince of Darkness”
Elliott Abrams Diplomat under Reagan, Bush, Trump
John Bolton Former National Security Advisor

🔄 Origins
Many early neocons were former liberals or leftists who shifted right due to:

Disillusionment with 1960s counterculture

Rise of the New Left and anti-Americanism

Softness on communism during the Cold War

Irving Kristol famously defined a neocon as a “liberal who was mugged by reality.”

Many comments say do NOT EAT.

Amazing results! Xylitol absolutely works. I don’t eat the Xylitol though. I’ll just put 1/4 tsp of the granules in my mouth, usually after meals if i can, but definitely last thing before bed. And I’ll spread it around my mouth until its dissolved and stimulated the saliva, and after a minute or two I spit it out. But it will have coated my teeth nicely. Then I make sure not to eat or drink anything for a while after, or I’ll just be sleeping anyway. You definitely see results from it 🙂

That’s a great technique — and it’s backed by research!

You’re essentially using xylitol as a topical oral rinse, not a sweetener, which is actually one of the most effective ways to harness its anticariogenic (anti-cavity) properties.

✅ Why This Method Works
Xylitol inhibits Streptococcus mutans
– This bacteria is a key player in plaque and cavity formation.
– Xylitol starves it of fuel and prevents it from adhering to enamel.

Stimulates saliva
– Saliva helps neutralize acids, remineralize enamel, and wash away food debris.
– Your method of swishing and dissolving it slowly maximizes saliva flow.

Forms a light coating
– Leaving a xylitol “film” on teeth before bed helps protect enamel overnight, when your mouth is driest and cavity risk is highest.

Avoiding ingestion is smart
– While xylitol is generally safe in modest dietary amounts, too much can cause GI upset. Spitting it out avoids that entirely.

🦷 Bonus Tips
Use xylitol at least 3–5 times per day for best results (even without brushing).

Combine with fluoride toothpaste and hydroxyapatite if you’re rebuilding enamel.

Avoid xylitol near pets (especially dogs) — it’s toxic to them even in small amounts.

Sounds like you’re using it exactly as dental researchers recommend. If you ever want to level it up with a xylitol mouth spray or lozenge for daytime, I can suggest those too!

Creatine Supplementation Guide: Avoiding Common Mistakes

1. Not Drinking Enough Water

• Creatine pulls water into muscle cells (volumizing effect).
• Dehydration can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue, or kidney stress.
• Increase daily water intake by 16–34 oz. Urine should be pale or clear.

2. Taking Creatine on an Empty Stomach

• Absorption improves when taken with carbohydrates (e.g., banana, juice).
• Prevents GI discomfort like bloating, nausea, or diarrhea.
• Best time: after workouts with food.

3. Buying Cheap or Low-Quality Creatine

• Poor products may contain contaminants or heavy metals.
• Look for certifications like Creapure® (99.9% pure German creatine).
• Avoid unverified or filler-laden brands.

4. Skipping Creatine on Rest Days

• Creatine works cumulatively; daily use maintains muscle saturation.
• Skipping doses on non-training days leads to reduced effects.

5. Choosing the Wrong Type of Creatine

• Creatine monohydrate is the most studied and effective form.
• Other forms (HCl, buffered, liquid) are often overhyped.
• Micronized creatine monohydrate may help those with stomach sensitivity.

6. Mixing Creatine with Thick or Acidic Liquids

• Poor solubility in protein shakes or acidic juices can reduce bioavailability.
• Creatine may degrade into creatinine.
• Mix in room temperature water separately and consume promptly.

7. Expecting Instant Results

• Creatine isn’t a stimulant. Benefits take 2–4 weeks to appear.
• Initial weight gain is due to water retention, not muscle growth.
• Gains in strength/hypertrophy are gradual with consistent use.

8. Overdosing or Using the Wrong Dose

• Excess creatine is excreted—more is not better.
• Two dosing protocols:
•   – Loading: 20g/day (4 doses) for 5–7 days, then 3–5g/day
•   – No Loading: 3–5g/day, reaching saturation in 3–4 weeks
• Adjust for body size (e.g., >198 lbs may use 5–7g/day)

9. Not Consulting a Doctor

• Important for those with kidney/liver issues or kidney stone history.
• Baseline blood work (creatinine, BUN, liver enzymes) is advised.
• Medical conditions or medications may contraindicate creatine use.

10. Ignoring Side Effects

• Common effects: GI discomfort, cramps, water retention, initial weight gain.
• May be improved by:
•   – Splitting doses
•   – Drinking more water
•   – Adding electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, sodium)
•   – Using micronized creatine
• Keep a simple diary to monitor side effects and performance.

Summary Recommendations:

• Form: Creapure® micronized creatine monohydrate
• Timing: With food, post-workout
• Mixing: Plain water, not shakes or juice
• Routine: Daily use, including rest days
• Monitor: Track response and get periodic blood tests
• Always consult with a qualified health professional before starting supplementation, especially if you have underlying medical conditions.
• Creatine is generally safe and highly beneficial—when used properly.

Old Collapse in 2018 after the Big Event.

stock here: Stevie Nicks’ 1st Album was Bella Donna, and in this first album, was a hit that stands strong till this day. Edge of Seventeen.

My interpretation is quite different than A-Eye. Anyone, have any of their own thoughts on this blockbuster?

This was the early 80’s, and things were wild back then. Playboy advised people to get your guests plastered, and how to do it. Jet planes had stand around liquor bars. People rarely used their seatbelts, and computers were in their infancy. Computer hacking wasn’t even a word yet, yet I had a wildly sucessful hacking program based on a Blackjack game.

Edge of seventeen, means 16, that should be obvious

Nicks lived in California at the time. The age of consent was, and is 18. Which is amazing for California. She was 33 in May of 1981. Kiss and Queen was all the rage in high school, as was Meatloaf, and Head East.

—————- A-Eye says of the song

🌟 Overview:
Title: Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)

Artist: Stevie Nicks

Album: Bella Donna (1981)

Genre: Rock

Theme: Grief, transformation, and coming of age

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation:
Stevie Nicks wrote “Edge of Seventeen” following two personal tragedies that occurred around the same time:

The death of John Lennon (December 1980), which shocked her deeply.

The passing of her uncle Jonathan, whom she was very close to.

The phrase “edge of seventeen” was inspired by a conversation with Tom Petty’s wife, Jane. When Jane said she met Tom at “the age of seventeen,” her Southern accent made it sound like “edge of seventeen,” and Stevie loved the phrase so much she used it as a song title.

Interpretation Highlights:

White-winged dove: A metaphor for the soul leaving the body, death, or a spirit. It symbolizes transcendence.

Time passing / death: The song wrestles with grief, but also with the beauty and pain of transformation.

Coming of age: The “edge” also implies a threshold — between innocence and knowledge, youth and adulthood.

📜 Full Lyrics:
I’m sorry, but I can’t provide the full lyrics due to copyright restrictions. However, I can give you a summary and point out key lines for interpretation:

🔍 Selected Key Lines and Their Meanings:
🎶 “Just like the white winged dove sings a song, sounds like she’s singing ooh, ooh, ooh”

Repetition mimics the cooing of a dove.

Symbolizes the persistent cry of loss and remembrance.

🎶 “The clouds never expect it when it rains”

Grief strikes without warning.

🎶 “I went today… maybe I will go again tomorrow”

Suggests mourning rituals, or returning emotionally to the loss.

🎶 “The words of a poet and the voice of a choir”

Refers to Lennon and his influence, and the power of music as a healing force.

🎶 “At the edge of seventeen”

Not just an age, but a metaphor for being at the cusp of major emotional or spiritual growth.

🎸 Musical Style:
Driven by a 16th-note guitar riff that repeats almost hypnotically.

The repetitive structure builds emotional tension and release.

Stevie’s vocals become more impassioned as the song progresses, reflecting grief turning into catharsis.

💬 Legacy:
Frequently cited as one of Nicks’ greatest works.

Sampled by Destiny’s Child in Bootylicious (2001), which brought it to a new generation.

A fan favorite in her live performances — often extended with emotional improvisations.

Well, I hear you (Well, I hear you)
In the morning (In the morning)
And I hear you (And I hear you)
At nightfall (At nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I’m a few years older than you, my love (I’m a few years older than you)

• Career: He made his fortune in Silicon Valley, founding several tech companies, including Infoseek and Propel.
• COVID-19 Involvement: During the pandemic, Kirsch emerged as a prominent critic of COVID-19 vaccines and public health measures. He claimed that vaccines were dangerous and ineffective—statements that have been widely discredited by scientific experts and fact-checkers.
• Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF): He founded this organization to promote his views, but it has been described by critics as a platform for disinformation.
• Controversy: He has been banned from several platforms for spreading misinformation and has made claims that have been consistently debunked by public health authorities, including the CDC and WHO.

Likelihood of Being Appointed to ACIP:

While Kirsch aligns ideologically with some of RFK Jr.’s views, especially regarding vaccine skepticism, there are significant barriers to him being formally appointed to a panel like the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP):

• Lack of Medical or Public Health Credentials: Kirsch is not a physician, epidemiologist, or immunologist, which is typically a prerequisite for appointment to a scientific advisory panel.
• Highly Polarizing Figure: His public statements and lack of alignment with evidence-based science would likely provoke intense backlash from the medical community, Congress, and international health organizations.

Bottom Line:

It’s unlikely, though not impossible, that someone like Kirsch would be appointed to ACIP. However, he could play an informal advisory role or influence other Kennedy appointees more aligned with his views. If Kennedy continues to reshape federal health agencies around vaccine-critical perspectives, Kirsch might find a role within that broader ecosystem—even if not officially on ACIP.

Thanks! With this wider map, I can now answer both parts of your question confidently:

🟢 Green Arrow — Yes, This Is Hilina Pali
You’re pointing to a dashed line that follows the Hilina Pali escarpment on Kīlauea’s southeast flank. This is a massive gravitational fault structure where Kīlauea’s south flank is slowly sliding toward the ocean due to:

Magma intrusions beneath the rift zone

Tectonic spreading

Normal faulting and slump-related earthquakes

This area regularly hosts shallow normal fault earthquakes, and occasionally large flank slip events (like the M7.7 in 1975 or the M6.9 in 2018).

🔴 Red Arrow — Offshore Earthquakes (Likely Mantle or Flexure Zone)
The cluster of white dots offshore west of Captain Cook, where your red arrow points, is part of a well-known offshore seismicity zone. Here’s what this typically means:

🔍 Nature of Earthquakes at Red Arrow:
Depth: These quakes often occur deep in the mantle (sometimes >30 km).

Cause: They’re associated with bending and flexure of the Pacific Plate as it supports the heavy mass of the Big Island, particularly Mauna Loa.

Mechanism:

Flexural faulting in the lithosphere

Possibly normal or reverse faulting, depending on exact depth and plate flexing direction

Not volcanic: These are tectonic, not related to magma movement.

Hazard: Generally low risk unless a large slip triggers a small tsunami (rare but watched).

🗺️ Summary
Arrow Feature Interpretation
🟢 Green Hilina Pali Major south flank fault, causes frequent shallow EQs and large flank-slip events
🔴 Red Offshore W. Hawaii Likely deep-seated flexural earthquakes in the Pacific Plate beneath the ocean floor due to weight of the Big Island

You said:

It seems odd with all the volcanoes going off, that the number of 6 plus eq over the last 30 days seems low, can you compare historically

ChatGPT said:
Here’s a clearer analysis comparing the current number of M6+ earthquakes to historical trends:

📊 Current Month (Last 30 Days)
Your snapshot shows 12 events of magnitude ≥ 6 recorded in the past month.

🌍 Historical Comparison
🔸 Global Averages
Magnitude 6–6.9 events occur at a rate of roughly 100–150 per year globally → 8–12 per month on average

.

According to USGS stats:

2024 saw 89 M6+, averaging ~7.4 per month
en.wikipedia.org

.

2021 had 141 M6+, averaging about 11.8 per month

.

🔸 Reddit Insight
Reddit summaries affirm this range:

“On average, a magnitude 6 happens every 3 days,” → roughly 10 per month
usgs.gov

.

🧭 Interpretation
Period M6+ Count Notes
Past 30 days 12 In line or slightly above recent averages
2024 (full year) ~7.4/month Slightly lower than current pace
earthquake.usgs.gov
en.wikipedia.org
+1
usgs.gov
+1
Long-term avg. 8–12/month Matches global seismic trends

🌍 The current 12 magnitudes ≥ 6 sits firmly within the expected range.

The monthly count naturally fluctuates, but this period isn’t an outlier.

✅ Conclusion
Your observation—“odd with all the volcanoes going off”—is understandable, but in terms of global seismicity, the number of M6+ events recorded last month is entirely normal. Even if volcanic activity stands out locally, the global backdrop remains consistent with historical norms.

Would you like a month-by-month time series chart for the last few years, or a breakdown by region/magnitude to visualize these trends?
