I had a sporadic cough for a long while my brother says it was years. This was not an infection, just an occasional itch that could only be scratched with a cough.

In March 2020, when the media started catastrophizing about people dropping like flies during the 2019-2020 cold and flu season, I thought people would think I was sick and putting them in danger. I ordered some charred oak barrels, purchased some apple brandy and started huffing apple brandy fumes, as Edgar Cayce often recommended for restoring lungs. Upon deciding that my cough was much improved, I asked the Prescott Valley Farmers and Artisans Market about joining them at their markets on Sundays, and have been promoting Cayces advocacy for inhaling apple brandy fumes ever since.

tl/dw: The ethanol is an antiseptic. Apple and oak flavoring compounds help stimulate the lungs to fix themselves.

Edgar Cayces Gentle Approach to health

Its been over 18 years since I bought this domain. Around 2009 I started a little business selling a few of the items that Edgar Cayce recommended in his psychic health readings. Ive always kept this separate from this main page (at RadialAppliance.teslabox.com), on account of psychic and sciences general arrogance about how psychic is unpossible according to the laws of physics.

But as of 2021, I think a very good case can be made that if only our dear leaders had consulted with the Edgar Cayce readings for what to do about cold and flu season, they couldve stood up to the charlatans who said to throw out all the prevailing science about how to respond to colds and flus.

This was just a quick video. Cayces core recommendation for being resilient was to consume plenty of foods with alkaline minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium).

Science has almost caught up with the advice that Edgar Cayce gave psychically in the early 20th Century. For example, this study found that inhaled ethanol (alcohol) reliably deactivates the sort of pathogens that Humanity is making a big deal of in 2020/2021.

Viruses such as [self-censored] and [self-censored] are lipophilic, enveloped [pathogens], and are relatively easy to inactivate by exposure to alcohols. [] By inhaling the alcohol vapor at 50~60∘C (122~140∘F) through the nose for one or two minutes, it will condense on surfaces inside the respiratory tract; mainly in the nasal cavity. The alcohol concentration will be intensified to ~36 v/v% by this process, which is enough to disinfect the corona [pathogen] on the mucous membrane. This method also provides more moisture into respiratory tract, and helps to clean the inside of the nasal cavity by stimulating blowing of the nose, and also makes the mucous escalator work actively so that the self-clearing mechanism in the trachea will remove [pathogens] faster. An alternative prompt method is also discussed. We use 40 v/v% whisky or similar alcohol, dripping on a gauze, inhale the vapor slowly at room temperature. This method works well for the front part of the nasal cavity. This is suitable for clinical workers, because they may need to use prompt preventative measures at any time.

My first customer did end up in the hospital with a case of the super-pathogen. I heard he had fantastic lung function, the pathogen was just attacking his kidneys.

Noticed an article about color vision this morning: The Red and Green Specialists: Why Human Colour Vision Is so Odd. This article, and re-reading some of my bookmarks, helped me better understand why red and orange lights are especially useful for humans at night, and why blue-white LEDs are fundamentally defective when used outside.

tl/dr: Most humans have three proteins in their eyes that vary in sensitivity to the different colors of light (some have two-color vision, others have four-color vision). Our peripheral vision is highly sensitive to green/cyan/blue light. Our eyes most red-sensitive protein (red line, graph below) is highly sensitive to the orange light emitted by a low pressure sodium bulb. The second-most red-sensitive protein (green line) is less sensitive to orange light. The protein sensitive to blue light is not at all activated by orange light (blue line).

Long ago the lighting industry figured out that Low Pressure Sodium [LPS] bulbs are ideal for outdoor lighting at night. Of the various light bulbs, LPS bulbs are the most energy-efficient of all (lumens per watt). The orange light emitted by these bulbs is good enough to help humans avoid obstacles, but not so good for color photography or security cameras. I added the orange line to the graph above to show how the LPS bulbs spectrum interacts with our eyes light reception proteins.

Low-light vision is most-attuned to green/cyan/blue light. Rhodopsin is the protein that our eyes use for low-light vision. Rhodopsin rapidly degrades when it is exposed to green/cyan/blue light; it is slightly sensitive to yellow/orange light. Humans rapidly lose their low-light vision when exposed to green/cyan/blue light. After losing our night vision, it takes about 30 minutes to fully recover enough rhodopsin to for us to see as well as we possibly can in low-light scenarios.

It takes about 30 minutes to fully adapt to low-light conditions. Ambient light (moonlight, skyglow) prevent most peoples eyes from fully adapting to low-light conditions. Because rhodopsin is not sensitive to red light and less-sensitive to orange light, using red/orange light preserves rhodopsin for a more-rapid recovery of low-light vision.

Good outdoor lighting uses light sources that do not emit any blue/green light. Red and Orange LEDs, or Low Pressure Sodium bulbs, are ideal. High Pressure Sodium [HPS] bulbs are okay. HPS bulbs have a little yellow/green/blue light.

Streetlights and area lights that emit green/cyan/blue light, in areas where the light is a single light source in the nights ocean of darkness, are fundamentally defective if humans passing by are expected to be directly exposed to that light source.

Unless a whole area can be brightly lit up (outdoor sports stadium, retail environment with diffuse bulbs placed out of our direct line of sight), lighting should be designed for low-light vision, using red or orange light sources. This is especially the case if the area cannot be lit without directly exposing people to the light source (parking lots, etc).

Dark sky advocates promote using light fixtures that are fully-shielded. These designs allow for light to be directed down, and protect people from the source of the light. Warm-white (2700K) and Amber (2000K/2200K) light sources can be safely used in fully-shielded outdoor light fixtures, if the fixture can be mounted to completely prevent most people from being directly exposed to the source of light.

Amber LEDs (2200K) could conceivably be used for parking lot lighting, if the fixture was designed to properly diffuse the light. Light has to be diffused to prevent our eyes from getting overloaded.

Sticking a LED high on a pole, even if its pointed down, is an annoyance and hazard to the humans who are using that area.

In the 21st Centurys mad rush for energy efficiency, weve forgotten what our predecessors figured out about how to use artificial lights safely. The replacement of safe and effective lighting solutions with defective energy-efficient lighting is a mistake. We should all make an effort to let decision makers know that we do not appreciate this particular crime against the publics health.

Cone cells have the various Photopsin photoreceptor proteins, and are responsible for color perception. Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than cone cells. Rods are more responsible for peripheral vision and low-light vision, and have more of the rhodopsin pigment.

A rod cell is sensitive enough to respond to a single photon of light[11] and is about 100 times more sensitive to a single photon than cones. Since rods require less light to function than cones, they are the primary source of visual information at night (scotopic vision). Cone cells, on the other hand, require tens to hundreds of photons to become activated.

Understanding the change in human color vision sensitivity from photopic to mesopic and scotopic is essential for proper planning when designing lighting for roadways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp#High-pressure_sodium

Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions (luminance level 10 to 10⁸cd/m²). In humans and many other animals, photopic vision allows color perception, mediated by cone cells, and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal resolution than available with scotopic vision.
Mesopic vision is a combination of photopic vision and scotopic vision in low but not quite dark lighting situations.^[1] Mesopic light levels range from luminances of approximately 0.001cd/m² to 3cd/m². Most night-time outdoor and traffic lighting scenarios are in the mesopic range.^[2]
Scotopic vision is the vision of the eye under low-light levels. The term comes from Greekskotos, meaning darkness, and -opia, meaning a condition of sight.^[1] In the human eye, cone cells are nonfunctional in low visible light. Scotopic vision is produced exclusively through rod cells, which are most sensitive to wavelengths of around 498nm (green–blue) and are insensitive to wavelengths longer than about 640nm (reddish orange). This condition is called the Purkinje effect.

Sodium Vapor Lamps Peak at 589nm and 589.56nm

Photopsin the photoreceptor proteins found in the cone cells of the retina that are the basis of color vision.

Different opsins differ in a few amino acids and absorb light at different wavelengths as retinal-bound pigments.

The Purkinje effect (sometimes called the Purkinje shift) is the tendency for the peak luminance sensitivity of the eye to shift toward the blue end of the color spectrum at low illumination levels as part of dark adaptation.

The Purkinje effect occurs at the transition between primary use of the photopic (cone-based) and scotopic (rod-based) systems, that is, in the mesopic state: as intensity dims, the rods take over, and before color disappears completely, it shifts towards the rods top sensitivity.^[9]

The effect occurs because in mesopic conditions the outputs of cones in the retina, which are generally responsible for the perception of color in daylight, are pooled with outputs of rods which are more sensitive under those conditions and have peak sensitivity in blue-green wavelength of 507nm.

The insensitivity of rods to long-wavelength light has led to the use of red lights under certain special circumstances – for example, in the control rooms of submarines, in research laboratories, aircraft, or during naked-eye astronomy.^[10]

Under conditions where it is desirable to have both the photopic and scotopic systems active, red lights provide a solution. Submarines are well lit to facilitate the vision of the crew members working there, but the control room must be lit differently to allow crew members to read instrument panels yet remain dark adjusted. By using red lights, or wearing red goggles, the cones can receive enough light to provide photopic vision (namely the high-acuity vision required for reading). The rods are not saturated by the bright red light because they are not sensitive to long-wavelength light, so the crew members remain dark adapted.^[11] Similarly, airplane cockpits use red lights so pilots can read their instruments and maps while maintaining night vision to see outside the aircraft.

Rhodopsin (also known as visual purple) is a light-sensitive receptor protein involved in visual phototransduction. It is named after ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) for rose, due to its pinkish color, and ὄψις (ópsis) for sight.^[5] Rhodopsin is a biological pigment found in the rods of the retina and is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). It belongs to opsins. Rhodopsin is extremely sensitive to light, and thus enables vision in low-light conditions.^[6] When rhodopsin is exposed to light, it immediately photobleaches. In humans, it is regenerated fully in about 30 minutes, after which rods are more sensitive.^[7]

Rhodopsin of the rods most strongly absorbs green-blue light and, therefore, appears reddish-purple, which is why it is also called visual purple.^[12] It is responsible for monochromatic vision in the dark.^[7]

About a year and a half ago my sister-in-law said something about how I should write something new for my blog, as the last post was (then) months old.

Lots of ideas for posts have crossed my mind, and while Ive started a few, I never finished any of them. I have been researching and thinking, and working on my other websites and businesses, but teslabox.com has been neglected. Continue reading An update for a neglected blog

[Update 10/8/2013 at the bottom]

My first post about birth control focused on cost why the pharmaceutical industrys contraceptive pills tend to be expensive. Ive since realized that staying baby-free is much more important to women than the money spent on pills, no matter the cost. Given the choice between spending lots of money and likely becoming pregnant, women will spend the money, if they have it.

Every woman has a unique response to the pharmaceutical industrys various birth control products. Some women can tolerate the $9/month generic. Others find they do better with the patent-protected pills that cost $100/month. Still others find that all hormonal birth control products are completely intolerable.

Birth controls side effects are accepted as another cost to bear. The most ironic side effect is decreased libido. Many women find that the hormones they take so they can enjoy sex cause them to lose interest.

This is reflective of the industrys chemical birth control products most fundamental problem: so-called hormonal birth control products dont actually contain human hormones.

While the pills, implants and injections do a good job of suppressing ovulation and preventing pregnancy, all the side effects that women experience are caused by replacing Natures hormone with man-made chemical imposters. Continue reading How Birth Control Torpedos Libido

One aspect of the federally-mandated changes in insurance coverage of birth control products hasnt gotten nearly the attention it deserves.

The problem that reformers were addressing is that birth control prescriptions are expensive. Its not just the $60 or $100/month for a pack of pills. Theres also the $60 or $100 for an appointment with a doctor, and the followup visits for prescription refills.

If birth control was safe enough to sell over the counter for a penny or a dime a pill like generic aspirin, there would be no controversy. Religious figures could continue their teachings about birth control (and NOT be expected to pay for it), and women would make their own choices about actions they think are right for them.

A one-dollar bill stamped with I VOTED recently spent a day or two in my pocket. I looked for a Wheres George inscription, but this was not present. This dollar, like all the others, wasnt in my pocket for long before I traded it to a fellow human for something theyd produced with their labors.

For all the talk and theory, money is nothing more than a medium that helps humans value each others time.

Some months ago I wrote a letter to the editor about fixing the governments finances, where I discussed how the money we trade with is created:

Under the present monetary system, money is created only when someone borrows it.

Usually, the federal government borrows a little money from the Federal Reserve, and the banking system expands this “seed money” 10 times (or more) by making loans.

Due to the failure of the banks to lend, the government has had to step in as “the borrower of last resort.”

Recently someone on a web forum thought Occupy Wall Street [OWS] protesters who advocate an audit of the Federal Reserve were stupid, because The Fed is doing nothing illegal.

My response was that we cant really know whether the Federal Reserve Banks are operating legally without an audit, as the Federal Reserve system is rather secret about their operations. Furthermore, the limited audit that Senator Sanders got passed found that the U.S. central bank had some questionable behavior during the 2008 financial crisis, including the creation of an entire National Debts worth of money that was given to connected financial institutions 16 trillion dollars, according to the Senators page.

The key point in my response were these lines:

If you have a dollar bill in your pocket, its only there because someone borrowed it from a banker. The bills are printed by the Treasury and purchased by the Federal Reserve at cost [4 cents?]. If you have a quarter or a dime or a Susan B. Anthony dollar in your pocket, the Fed bought these from the Mint for face value.

This is how I came to be thinking about the occupation of Wall Street, currency, and modifications to currency How could the very core of the system for concentrating wealth and economic power be effectively conveyed?

I think a stamp would do it:

This Bill Was BORROWED From Wall Street:

Ideas are seldom truly original, so I searched on occupy wallstreet currency stamp (no quotes), and learned that people are just starting to put messages on currency. Theyre calling it Occupy George. While the sentiment is right, their specific messages are entirely non-helpful.

Instead of focusing on the central defect of the modern banking system that private banks create the economys money supply by making loans, starting with the seed money created by their 12 Federal Reserve Banks theyre muddying the issue with meaningless messages about division of wealth that dont lead to an obvious solution.

Yes, wealth is rather concentrated in the present day. But some people work for their millions, while others game the system. Increasing taxes on the people whove been especially successful will only perpetuate the L-Curve distribution of income because it does NOT address any of the curves CAUSES. Incomes are best balanced by creating a level playing field for all players in an economy, NOT by forcibly taking and giving.

A core element in motivational speaker Zig Ziglars philosphy was that you can get everything in life that you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want. Instead of getting jealous that someone was in the right place at the right time, and worked to make the most of an opportunity, the present protests need to focus like a laser on individuals and groups that game the system.

Transitioning to a monetary system that uses money created by the national or state governments, as advocated by the American Monetary Institute and others, would do a lot to end the need for the present protests.

I have a few dollars in my pocket, and a red pen. This Bill Was BORROWED From Wall Street. Ahh, much better. $5s have much more blank space on the reverse than $1s.
