A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.
Last summer, I saw an article reporting that botox treatment for wrinkles sometimes results in a lessening of clinical depression symptoms. So I looked into depression and found that research in recent years points to the possibility that an excess of acetylcholine--which, incidentally, botox blocks--could be a root cause of depression. And then last month I was looking into depression again because of the mental health problems facing a friend's daughter and realized that an acidic mouth environment might get in the way of proper breakdown of acetylcholine in nearby regions of the head.
So, I made a PowerPoint presentation giving three basic, safe actions one could try in order to prevent a chronic excess of acetylcholine:
1) Keep the mouth from being too acidic.
2) Garden sometimes.
3) Try a low-choline diet for a few days.
Numbers one and two are good things to do for other reasons, too.
I research regional cuisine differences and juxtapose them with medical research and epidemiology. Sometimes, I end up with new hypotheses as a result, which I revisit to modify or refine from time to time. Molybdenum glycinate's efficacy for treatment of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and migraines is my hypothesis that has the most evidence (real-life) for it.
