sounds like a good diet though I can't do leafy green veggies really. It doesn't agree with my rat poison.

Take full tea-spoon of Cayenne pepper in half a glass of water with a little lemon juice and it takes your BP down within minutes!!

Kiwi: Good to see you back. I hired a fellow to drive truck this fall. His Bro-in-law has MS. He was wheel chair bound. He started a diet developed by an MD who has MS. He is now using parallel bars and almost walking. Have you investigated this diet at all? Thanks so much Sigurdur. I did some research, and changed to this diet - it is actually a form of the Atkins/Paleo/Keto diet. Low carb, high fat. (we were on an older MS diet, quite different! exact opposite actually!!) I'm using a spreadsheet to design the meals, and we have been strictly following this diet for 4 days, tho have been on restricted carbs for two weeks. I have lost 3 kilograms since we started, even tho I am not following the diet strictly. Some notes: I will be using mainly omega 3 rich fish, Nuts, Avocado & lots of green leafy vege. Not going down the "Paleo" track of thick fatty steaks!! lol. Last night my wife had a BP reading of 185/120. She also has high BP, and this is her first normal reading I have seen. My BP machine has a 90x reading diary, so I can show progress to our MD when we next see her. I'll report on what happens over time. Many many thanks. Hello Kiwi, You may be interested in the book "Grain Brain" it is useful if only for the research references. Supports the diet you are moving too as well.

I think I can see the dip that allowed U.S.S. Skate to surface in August 1958.

Kiwi, great to see you back. I am being 100% serious. Have you or your wife been checked for vitamin D levels? Even if they read "normal", an adult over 40-50 that doesn't get sufficient Vitamin D from the sun (some don't absorb it well anyway), taking 4-6k units of D3 a day is ok. How about magnesium? A standard blood serum test does not reveal the true magnesium levels in your body because ~95% of magnesium is not in the blood! Only a RBC test can determine accurate magnesium levels. How do I know this? After years of problems and trips to the hospital (won't bore with the details), for whatever reason nobody checked my Vitamin D levels, so two years ago I requested it from my doctor. I was >30% deficient, and then put on 50,000 units a week. I now take 4,000 every day. Next, my niece, a geneticist and chemist at U of M (Michigan) taught me about magnesium. It is IMO a near miracle mineral. There are several forms and not all agree with everyone nor work equally well. Personally I take this: www.jigsawhealth.com/supplements/magnesium 1000mg a day. Look up the connection between MS and Vitamin D/Magnesium, not to mention heart disease, BP, diabetes. If your doctor won't perform the RBC test for magnesium, have it done yourself requestatest.com/magnesium-rbc-testing It's all about glucose.

Magellan is spot on here. Kiwi you live in NZ and the champagne for sun screen is now looking like the biggest bust ever.
If you sit in the strong Auckland sun you can get a 20K dose in a day but more reliably hit the bottle, I take 3k/day its good for everything from heart to anti cancer low cost high chance of a better outcome.
I also live in Auckland and look at the wonderful Rangitoto, see you around.

If your doctor won't perform the RBC test for magnesium, have it done yourself requestatest.com/magnesium-rbc-testing It's all about glucose. Oh Yes, you can assume that I've been researching MS instead of arctic ice the last few years. My wife takes extra Vit D & Magnesium. But (as we say) Correlation does not imply causation, and there are many types of MS. It may be genetic, where the re-myelination process is flawed, or autoimmune where the body attacks the myelin sheath. Some forms may be a type of diabetes (Type 3!!) and so on. My wife has Primary progressive, and this affects men & women in equal numbers, and is not helped by immune suppression used for the episodic forms of MS. The Keto-diet is good for diabetes, and, some report recovery with MS. Because MS is a long term disease, it is hard to fit research into the normal PhD time frame - so hard to get funding - it all goes on climate research! lol For us folk without MS, our nerves get damaged, just as in MS, but we can repair fast enough for no symptoms. I have brain lesions - the normal amount for my age - but MS sufferers have extensive brain lesions and nerve damage. During sleep, the genes that express for re-myelination are activated, and nerve repair proceeds, so MS sufferers need more sleep - which is often difficult due to pain and other symptoms. MS research is in early days, as cancer research was years ago - and one day, they may be able to diagnose many different types of MS accurately, and have cures/treatments for many of them, just as many cancers now are treated. Also, early detection for MS may become standard- my Wife wasn't diagnosed correctly for over 20 years, which hasn't helped!! There is no(nor will there be a) simple single cure for MS, nor will something that works for one, work for another! And "cures" for episodic MS may not be cures, as folks with that type can also go into remission. Anyways, I'll report back from time to time on progress.

Arctic Ice is approaching the highest for the present date by nearly all the charts see wp.me/P7y4l-5Kc (WUWT ice page) As I noted (Oct 21) the Barents is well advanced compared with past years, so this year has a head start. Anything could happen, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of ice existing the Arctic.

Kiwi: Has looked like a building ice area/density/ and depth for a couple years now. We could have very well hit the low apex a few years ago. Would be about the correct time to do so.
The troubling thing is, Antarctic Ice is also experiencing growth.
