Gardasil Versus Cancer
Did a search and cannot find where RFK Jr was quoted ad saying, “Children are 37 times more likely to die from Gardasil than to die from cervical cancer.” but given all I have heard on it, would not surprise me.

Great Tsunami Wall
After the 2011 disaster, Japan didn’t just rebuild—it reimagined its coastline. Meet the 395-kilometer-long “Great Tsunami Wall,” towering up to 12.5 meters high and built to withstand the wrath of the ocean.
But Japan didn’t stop at concrete.
Nine million trees were planted along the shore, creating a living barrier that stands side by side with this massive engineering feat.
This is more than a wall—it’s a promise of protection, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to how nature and technology can work together.

Methylene Blue and Sleep Requirements
After commencing to consume methylene blue I started needing closer to 7 hours sleep a night rather than an average of 9. I asked www.grok.com, “What would cause that?”
I received this in reply:
Methylene blue is a compound with a range of potential effects on the body, and its influence on sleep duration could stem from several mechanisms. While there’s limited direct research on methylene blue specifically reducing sleep requirements, some plausible explanations based on its known pharmacological properties include:
Mitochondrial Enhancement: Methylene blue is known to improve mitochondrial function by acting as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain, potentially increasing cellular energy production (ATP). Enhanced energy efficiency might reduce the body’s need for extended sleep to restore energy levels, allowing you to feel rested with fewer hours.
Neurotransmitter Modulation: Methylene blue inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO), which can increase levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These changes could affect sleep regulation, potentially stabilizing or altering sleep architecture, leading to more efficient sleep cycles and less total sleep needed.
Circadian Rhythm Effects: By influencing cellular metabolism and oxidative stress, methylene blue might indirectly affect the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the brain’s circadian clock. Improved cellular health could lead to a more optimized circadian rhythm, reducing the time required for restorative sleep.
Reduced Oxidative Stress: Methylene blue has antioxidant properties, which may reduce oxidative stress in the brain and body. This could improve overall brain function and recovery during sleep, potentially shortening the duration needed for adequate rest.
Individual Variability: Your unique physiology, baseline health, or concurrent lifestyle factors (e.g., diet, stress, or activity levels) might interact with methylene blue’s effects, leading to a reduced sleep requirement. For example, if you were previously sleep-deprived or had suboptimal sleep quality, methylene blue’s effects might improve sleep efficiency.
Caveats and Considerations:
Dosage and Timing: The dose and timing of methylene blue consumption could influence its effects on sleep. Higher doses or taking it close to bedtime might have different impacts.
Limited Research: There’s sparse clinical data directly linking methylene blue to reduced sleep needs, so these mechanisms are speculative based on its known effects.
Side Effects: Be cautious of potential side effects, such as serotonin syndrome (especially if combined with MAO-inhibiting drugs), insomnia, or overstimulation, which could disrupt sleep if not managed properly.
If this change persists or you notice other symptoms (e.g., restlessness, mood changes), consult a healthcare provider to rule out unintended effects or interactions. They can also help assess whether the reduced sleep need is beneficial or a sign of underlying changes requiring attention.
I’m High Maintenance
I take aspirin for the headache caused by the Zyrtec I take for the hayfever I got from Relenza from the uneasy stomach from the Ritalin I take for the short attention span caused by the Scopederm Ts I take for the motion sickness I got from the Lomotil I take for the diarrhea caused by the Zenikal for the uncontrolled weight gain from the Paxil I take for the anxiety from the Zocor I take for my high cholesterol because exercise, a good diet, and regular chiropractic care are just too much trouble.
