Space weather and health

[Jhanananda]

Feb 07, my morning blood sugar reading was 162, which was down only 1 point from yesterday, so it is still elevated.  With my blood sugar still high it might be due to a lag in metabolic response to the solar storm that has now passed, or perhaps due to continued x-ray flux.  Allergies persist, but are clearly declining. Joint pain continues to be low and seems to be about the same.

My working hypothesis is under change again, because while we are just over the peak of solar max, my joint pain has been considerably lower than last year.  Also, examining the history of the solar cycles it looks like social and health issues seem to be more associated with the rise toward the peak, not as the peak slides down.

It is also worth noting that some social issues seem to be associated with the lowest ebb of the solar cycle, such as the real estate bubble bursting, and collapse of markets and banks world wide of 2008 and 9.

Feb 09, my morning blood sugar reading was 129, which was 33 points lower than yesterday, which is good, but I am not sure if all of these symptoms are related; because, while my allergies have worsened, my blood sugar has lowered. Joint pain had increased slightly today.

Feb 10, my morning blood sugar reading was 98, which was 35 points lower than yesterday, which is good, but I am not sure if all of these symptoms are related; because, while my allergies continue to worsen, my blood sugar has lowered. Joint pain has not increased over yesterday.

My working hypothesis has been that my allergies, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes are all due to an inflammatory condition, which is due to the rise in solar activity.  Arguably we are over the solar max, yet we have recent solar activity.  So, now the question that remains is, is it possible that inflammatory conditions are exacerbated by a the rise in solar activity, but different organ systems are targeted at different times, and when an organ systems is targeted, then other organ systems, which were targeted in the past, get a break and experience some recovery?  Well, that sounds like a reach to me, but it is worth investigating.


We had another coronal mass ejection yesterday

Hello Jeff

As far as static electricity goes you could touch something
grounded now and then and walk barefoot in the summer.

I think I remember did you try grounded shoes?

Bless Valdy

[Jhanananda]

Hello, Valdy.  Good to hear from you again.  Yes, I tried grounded shoes, grounding strap, conductive clothing, none of which seemed to reduce any of my inflammatory conditions; whoever, sleeping in my grounded van has reduced my rheumatoid arthritis events significantly.  I have also noticed that my recent hey fever improves dramatically when I retreat to the van.  So, my conclusion is living in a metal box might be the long term solution for my health.  A reasonable metal box big enough to live in would be a metal building, a trailer or a camper.  I am moving into a metal building for now, and will report back once I have moved in.  Long term solution planned is a cab-over camper.

Feb 13, my morning blood sugar reading was 106, which is down 21 points from yesterday's, which is good, but the apparent random and wide ranging blood sugar readings are hard to explain, this is why I am gathering data in hopes that I will find some predictable cause.  My hypothesis is my blood sugar is influenced by solar activity.  So, the recent decline in blood sugar readings might be due to the recent decline in solar activity.

Feb 16, my morning blood sugar reading was 159, which is up 30 points from yesterday's. The continual rise suggests some external influence, which I believe might be EMF, if a link can be found.  I have noticed that my recently declining daily blood sugar curve has matched the declining Estimated Planetary K-Index.  There was a rise yesterday to level 3, as well as a recent rise in the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves, parallel the rise in my daily blood sugar curve.  So, there might be some relationship here, but more data will be needed to make a conclusion.

Estimated Planetary K-Index shows the K index is still declining

The K-index, and by extension the Planetary K-index, are used to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic storms. Kp is an excellent indicator of disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field and is used by SWPC to decide whether geomagnetic alerts and warnings need to be issued for users who are affected by these disturbances.

The principal users affected by geomagnetic storms are the electrical power grid, spacecraft operations, users of radio signals that reflect off of or pass through the ionosphere, and observers of the aurora.

This chart updates every minute. The Estimated 3-hour Planetary Kp-index is derived at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center using data from the following ground-based magnetometers: Sitka, Alaska; Meanook, Canada; Ottawa, Canada; Fredericksburg, Virginia; Hartland, UK; Wingst, Germany; Niemegk, Germany; and Canberra, Australia. These data are made available thanks to the cooperative efforts between SWPC and data providers around the world, which currently includes the U.S. Geological Survey, Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the British Geological Survey, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), and Geoscience Australia. Important magnetometer observations are also contributed by the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris and the Korean Space Weather Center K-index Watches are issued when the highest predicted NOAA estimated Kp-indices for a day are K = 5, 6, 7, or >= 8 and is reported in terms of the NOAA G scale. K-index Warnings are issued when NOAA estimated Kp-indices of 4, 5, 6, and 7 or greater are expected. K-index Alerts are issued when the NOAA estimated Kp-indices reach 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval. The planetary 3-hour-range index Kp is the mean standardized K-index from 13 geomagnetic observatories between 44 degrees and 60 degrees northern or southern geomagnetic latitude. The label 'K' comes from the German word 'Kennziffer' meaning 'characteristic digit.' The K-index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1938. SWPC has used the K-index since the forecast center began operations.

Space Weather no new reported solar events in the past 24 hours.

I believe I am now finally on to the Geomagnetic effects on my daily blood sugar. Today, Feb 17, my morning blood sugar reading was 111, which is down 48 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 2 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF. 

I have noticed that my recently declining daily blood sugar curve had matched the declining, then ascending Estimated Planetary K-Index.  There was a rise in the last two days to levels 3 and 4 in the Estimated Planetary K-Index, as well as a recent rise and fall in the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves, both of which happen to parallel the rise and fall in my daily blood sugar curve. 

So, there might be some relationship here, but more data will be needed to make a conclusion.  My blood sugar is now down, and so are the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves.

Today, Feb 18, my morning blood sugar reading was 137, which is up 26 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 2 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF.  In fact in the last 24 hours we have had increasing Estimated Planetary K-Index and level G-1 geomagnetic alerts from NOAA.  It has occurred to me that one of the variables that I had not considered was the fact that I sleep in a grounded Faraday Gage, so that any geomagnetic disturbances that occur when I am in that grounded Faraday Gage may not have an impact, or at least less of an impact, upon my health.

Today, Feb 19, my morning blood sugar reading was 148, which is up 11 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 3 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF.  In fact in the last 48 hours we have had increasing Estimated Planetary K-Index as high as 5, and level G-1 geomagnetic alerts from NOAA; however the Estimated Planetary K-Index has been declining for the last 24 hours.  There might be some lag time between changes in the Estimated Planetary K-Index and my blood sugar response.  Allergies continue to be severe, and do not seem to have any influence from variations in the Estimated Planetary K-Index.

Space Weather Prediction Center ACE Real-Time Solar Wind chart 02-18 to 19-2015 shows continued disturbance of the solar wind impacting the earth.

U.S. Total Electron Content.  Perhaps I will see a clear relationship in this data set to my health issues.


GOES Proton Flux 02-17 to 19-2015, shows the solar storm impact to the earth at this wavelength is over, and continues to be stable.


GOES X-Ray Flux chart 02-14 to 17-2015, shows x-ray emissions are mostly stable with continued minor disturbances.


The Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp)02-17 to 18-2015 shows still decreasing impact, with continued minor disturbances.


The Estimated Planetary K-Index shows the K index rose to level 5 over a 12 hour period in the last 48 hours due to a recent solar storm impact, which is significant, but the current K index is only 1.
