My nutrient absorption seems sub-par, possibly due to GAPS from China toxin exposure. I’m taking Weston Price’s Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil / Butter Oil Blend to avoid fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, but a blood test showed K was still low. It wasn’t clear whether the Blue Ice simply hadn’t had long enough to correct the deficiency, but I decided to go along with the doctor’s suggestion of a vitamin K shot. Couldn’t hurt. The problem was in my gut, after all. A shot would be risk-free nutrition.
I agreed to this despite knowing that my blood clotting works fine. I didn’t even bother to Google potential side effects. Had I done so, I would’ve learned there’s a .1% chance of inflammation at the injection site – who cares?
Well hey buddy, if you’re in the .1% of intelligence, maybe you’re also a general genetic outlier to whom normal probability inferences do not apply.
I got the shot on 08-03, took a 4-hour midday nap on an uncharacteristically lazy 08-05, and then ceased to exist as a productive individual for the next 6 days, until 08-12. So apparently an injection produces a significantly WORSE crash than just eating something disagreeable.
Today I finally bothered to look at the itchy spot on the back of my tricep. Lo and behold, I’ve got a tarantula-sized rash at the injection site comparable to a poison ivy episode. A pallid cratered baseball with an angry red corona. Awesome.
I’ve had plenty of practice resetting my Circadian after crashes, but this one actually had me at a loss. I’d just slept 15 hours and woken at sunset. I asked myself, “What the fuck am I supposed to do now?”
Fortunately, I then talked to Lazarus, who mentioned his work on hormone entrapment and sleep hygiene. He inspired me with a new vision of identical daily bio inputs to achieve maximal hormonal amplitudes. I’ve managed to drag myself back to waking at noon just by enforcing Draconian light/dark exposure. I still had surge protector lights and a desktop PC’s status lights running at night, and I would vary my bedtime and look at my phone in bed. Blue blockers are not enough. The common insomnia advice to not lie in bed if you can’t sleep is WRONG, insofar as it encourages breaking light discipline. The next step is an outdoor TV for computer work; apparently those run $5k.
Moral of the story: If you’re a Neanderthal, modern medical statistics on substance response may not apply to you. If you observe one instance of hypersensitivity, suspect more. Eat traditional, drink springwater, and entrain your hormones. Bulletproof Diet has an high-end MCT oil that looks like it can help with the ghrelin fasting ketosis aspect.
Also, I can crush a feminist whilst supine and brain-dead. In fact, it’s my preferred anaesthetic. Modern women may suck as caregivers, but they make excellent objects of wrath. Nothing distracts from pain like inflicting it on a deserving other. That is why the average IQ of a cop is 104.
