Today, April 19, my morning low blood sugar was 129, which is up only 1 point from the previous day. My allergy symptoms have increased upon rising this morning. There is some increase in joint pain; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


The comparative plots of 04-17 to 04-19-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while both the magnetic field and electron flux have had some disturbance, but not much. So, the planetary estimated K index has remained at level 2s to 3s in the past 2 days. This indicates that the solar wind from the CME from 5 days ago has passed, and we should expect some calm space weather conditions to persist until the next solar storm event. 

There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

I found another useful site to monitor called SunSpotWatch.com, Radio Propagation : Space Weather : Sunspot Cycle Information.  It has much more improved imaging of the sun than swpc.noaa.gov.

Today, April 20, my morning low blood sugar was 135, which is up 6 points. My allergy symptoms have increased upon rising this morning. There is some increase in joint pain; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


While the x-ray flux continues to be active, due to an active region of the sun is facing us; however, the solar wind storm from the last significant solar burst has passed.  Thus the comparative plots of 04-18 to 04-21-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux, magnetic field and electron flux remains normal. We should expect some calm space weather conditions to persist until the next solar storm event.

Today, April 21, my morning low blood sugar was 114, which is 21 points lower than yesterday. It is no longer looking like my blood sugar is tied to the solar weather, but some other unrecognized randomizing influence.

My allergy symptoms have decreased upon rising this morning. There is some increase in joint pain; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


In the last 2 hours there was a significant x-ray burst, as you can see on the right side of this graph.  We can expect a CME to be released from the sun shortly.


Here is the CME as it began to emerge from the left limb, just above the equator of the sun on 04-21-2015 at 10:20UTC.


The solar wind storm from a few small solar bursts is now impacting the earth. The comparative plots of 04-19 to 04-22-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while the magnetic field and electron flux show disturbance; correspondingly the planetary estimated K index has risen to level 4 for about 9 hours. 

There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Here is the same CME as it right of the sun's corona on 04-23-2015 at 13:42UTC in the wide field camera.  There was a data loss for 10 hours in the narrow field camera, so we do not have that image

Today, April 24, my morning low blood sugar was 191, which is 4 points higher than yesterday.

My allergy symptoms have decreased upon rising this morning. Joint pain has slightly increased daily since the Proton flux has been increasing; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out, and thus could be the cause of the increase in joint pain.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


The comparative plots of 04-22 to 04-25-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux has been increasing for the last 48 hours, but seems to be decreeasing; while the magnetic field and electron flux show decreasing disturbances; correspondingly the planetary estimated K index has declined to level 2-3 in the last 24 hours.  We may have relative calm for the next day; which will be followed by 8 waves of disturbance beginning today or tomorrow.

There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Today, April 25, my morning low blood sugar was 123, which is 68 points lower than yesterday. I forgot to mention that a month ago I ran out of nutritional yeast, and did not buy any more as I needed to conserve money for the move.  I also thought it would be a good time see what would happen to my blood sugar.  It has risen over the month.  The rise might be due to increased solar activity, or the lack of nutritional yeast in my diet.  Two days ago I ran out of eggs, and money, so now I am on an egg-free diet as well.  It will be a good experiment to see if my blood sugar rises or falls.  One day off of eggs, and my blood sugar dropped 68 point.  It might not be the loss of eggs in the diet, but some other factor, like the relative calm of the solar wind right now.

My allergy symptoms continue to be at a minimum. Joint pain has remained slightly elevated, which might be due to the continual elevated levels of the Proton flux; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out, and thus could be the cause of the over-all decline in decline in health.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


The comparative plots of 04-23 to 04-26-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux has declined slightly, but remains elevated; while the magnetic field and electron flux show decreasing disturbances; correspondingly the planetary estimated K index, which has declined to level 0-1 in the last 24 hours.  The x-ray flux has been showing increased calm as well. We may have relative calm for the next day; however, the Electron 2MeV Integral Flux exceeded 1000pfu, which suggests that solar wind from 8 small CME are starting to arrive at earth. There should be 8 waves of disturbance beginning today, and continuing for 3-4 days.

Today, April 26, my morning low blood sugar was 128, which is only 5 points higher than yesterday.

The comparative plots of 04-24 to 04-27-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows all wavelengths of EMF are calm with the exception of the red band in the proton flux, which remains elevated. I am surprised that solar wind disturbances from 8 small CME has not arrive yet at earth. There should be 8 waves of disturbance beginning soon, and continuing for 3-4 days, but maybe we missed the wave.

Today, April 27, my morning low blood sugar was 129, which is only 1 point higher than yesterday.

My allergy symptoms continue to be at a minimum. Joint pain continues to remained slightly elevated, which might be due to the continual elevated levels of the Proton flux; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out, and thus could be the cause of the over-all decline in health. In the last 2 days I also switched from drinking a 4oz (118ml) glass of merlot morning and evening for its Anthocyanin, and started drinking the purple corn beer that I made last summer.  Joint pain had been on the rise since the change, so I drank a 4oz (118ml) glass of merlot last night and found a decrease in joint pain.

Today, April 28, my morning low blood sugar was 199, which is 60 points higher than yesterday.  Since the solar wind from 8 recent small CME has arrived, this might explain my rise in morning low blood sugar.

My allergy symptoms continue to be at a minimum. Joint pain continues to remained slightly elevated, but lower than the days when I was not drinking my 4oz (118ml) glass of merlot twice a day. Still drinking the purple corn beer that I made last summer at a rate of 6oz (177ml) doses, no more than 1/hr, but less than that because I get busy with packing and moving and forget, but when fatigue and/or joint pain arise, then I stop and take a break and drink 6oz (177ml).

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


The comparative plots of 04-26 to 04-29-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows, while the three bands of proton flux have returned to normal; all other wavelengths of EMF have become more active. This indicates that the solar wind disturbances from 8 small CME has finally arrive at earth. It is possible that the speed of the solar wind is variable depending upon the energy of the CME that produces it. There should be 8 waves of disturbance beginning about 24 hours ago, and continuing for 3-4 days.

There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

I found another useful site to monitor called SunSpotWatch.com, Radio Propagation : Space Weather : Sunspot Cycle Information.  It has much more improved imaging of the sun than swpc.noaa.gov.

U.S. Total Electron Content.  I found this page useful to observe during a Solar Geomagnetic Storm.

Some of this data comes from the Space Weather Enthusiasts Dashboard very useful, so the format of this report is changing due to one of the panes in that dashboard.

Today, April 30, my morning low blood sugar was 139, which is 44 points lower than yesterday.  The solar wind from 8 recent small CME is quite small, so this might explain why my morning low blood sugar has returned to normal.

My allergy symptoms continue to be at a minimum. Joint pain continues to remained slightly elevated.

Daily Solar Weather & Health Report


The comparative plots of 04-28 to 05-01-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows, while the three bands of proton flux remain normal, and the magnetic field flux is also normal; however, the electron flux is still active. Nonetheless, the estimated planetary K index is quite ow at 0-1, but is is showing ripples that may correspond to the 8 small CME for a few days ago. This is our third day of solar wind disturbances from the 8 small CME which have apparently arrive at earth. There should be 5 more waves of disturbance in the next 24-48 hours.

Additional Justification on Grounding for Jhananda

http://youtu.be/te4WPdIsBtQ

They have barefoot shoes and plenty of other products for this. But I, for one, am simply going to put some metal in my sandal/shoes like Jhananda suggested. I will also be looking into grounding my room, like Jhananda suggested.

Apologies for how long it took me to assimilate this knowledge, and if this isn't posted in the correct area.

Jhananda (and senior members), I recently began testing and experimenting to the best of my ability regarding EM radiation both man made and cosmic. I am not very knowledgeable, yet. And lack good materials.

But I do know this, and I have a question. I have an electric heating blanket. It was a gift from my significant other and I use it as homage. However, I noticed as soon as I began using it two years ago, that it was increasingly difficult to get out of bed.

Lately I've left it on the bed but unplugged. I woke easier, and slept a bit better. I also slept on top of it instead of below it. Similar results.

I am familiar with the simple grounding of materials to both shield and regulate the body's electromagnetic levels.

Is it reasonable and logical to simply attach an adapter that turns the electrical lines into grounding lines? In other words, instead of plugging in the two prongs, i would plug it into the ground (bottom/third) prong.

Would this not at least afford me some shielding and grounding while I sleep? It seems to follow.

My only problem is an inadequate multimeter, not much money, and I live in an area with shit loads of wifi and electrical appliances nearby. However, it does appear the grounding (third prong) of my outlets in my second-story living space is indeed grounded.

Anyone knowledgeable please respond with any helpful, inexpensive advice. Once I have this "nailed down", I intend to take another attempt with water kefir cultivation, and adrenal restoration.

Thank you

Jhanananda

Thank-you, Jhanon for the recent link to a video on grounding in support of my findings; however, they have not figured out that shielding is critical as well. And, now your question regarding using an electric blanket as an aide to grounding and shielding.

Originally, 40 years or so ago, I was aware of the hypothesis that EMF might pose a health hazard, so at that time I had rejected offers of electric blankets.  They only work plugged in anyway, and I was living mostly out of a back pack in those days.

However, I had not considered your rather brilliant idea of using an electric blanket for shielding and grounding.  It would work quite well for shielding. 

You are correct, if you bought a 3 prong male and female power socket and plug pair at the hardware store, then with some scrap wire, or purchase a foot of 16AWG solid wire at the hardware store, and wire all of the contacts on the female socket together, then run just one wire from the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on the female socket to the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on the male plug, then plug the male plug of your electric blanket into the female socket of the adapter that you just made, then plug the male plug of your adapter into the wall socket, then put the electric blanket over your bed, and you now have a reasonably good EMF shield. 

You still would not have a ground without having something conductive in physical contact with your body that goes to earth.  A grounding strap could be wired to the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on another male plug, which is only wired to the grounding pin, then plug that grounding strap adapter into another grounded outlet, and wear the grounding strap at night when you rest under your electric blanket, which has been converted to an EMF shield.

You still will not know whether you are shielded and grounded unless you also purchase a power socket tester at the hardware store.  These testers are quite cheap and easy to use.  You just plug the tester into the wall socket that you are planning on using for shielding and grounding.  The tester will have three lights that light up to tell you how your socket is wired.  There will be a code printed in the side of the tester that will tell you if your wall socket is grounded.

By the way, making and selling shielding and grounding equipment for health is one way that a contemplative community could sustain itself ethically.

Since this is the space weather thread, I had to suspend my daily reports, after moving because the WIFI at the new location was next to useless.  It took me about 2 weeks of getting the management here comfortable with me to let me have access to their wiring closet.  I then did some simple EMF trouble shooting in there, and now I have good WIFI that I can use in the comfort of my van, which is about 100feet from the wiring closet, while drinking my hot morning drink.

In the interim we had 2 significant space weather events in the last week or so that produced estimated planetary K indexes of 6.  Space weather has returned to relative calm.
