Some take home nuggets from the conference I am attending, 5 hours in of 30:
- high mid section BF scores were comparative to poor Oxygen utilization scores; so if I start testing this we now have another parameter to go on (54% of healthy subjects showed poor utilization)...what is good utilization - coming...
- I have to reanalyze my views on fuel usage and where NAD sits on the Krebs cycle and how it is impt in the process...where once I thought there was no use
- it has been shown over and over that EOMD (early onset mitochondrial dysfunction) is the primary cause of mitochondrial decay, aging and degenerative disease, NOT because a lack of antioxidants; which in some cases for example have been shown to increase chances of cancers (Vit E, beta carotene and a few others isolated)
- Dr Frank puts it this way - "each cell is like New York City; there is a lot of shit going on in a small area all interrelated; there are regulators like police and fire; there are stimulants like street performers and Broadway and there are lipid based walls like the rivers, waterways and boundaries; criminals (bad shit) and cops (good shit) need each other to survive in each cell, i.e. free radicals vs defenders; its only when the criminals out number the cops (decreased oxygen utilization at cell level) that there are problems....more to come on this
- the less efficient the process of oxygen utilization is, the more free radical damage occurs; how does one get better at this...coming...; of course the normal line up causes this to happen like 1. toxicity and infections, 2. stress, 3. nutritional deficiencies, 4. hormonal deficiencies, 5. decreased fitness...but having a test to see where the O2 utilization is will help speed this recovery...will test during exercise on Monday
- DR Frank showed what the cell wall looked like after binging on Oreos...(NOT GOOD)...on a side note, i've seen this over time with folks who are at the top of the stress scale and are still binging every few weeks or once a week (cheat meals) - be careful, that shit is in your cell walls for 6 MONTHS!!!!, not a few days...so you want to get to the next level, you have to be tight for a period of time
