12:09:07 From Dr. Tom Lewis : I use a simple 3 stage filter under sinks: chlorine, fluoride carbon black, lead, mercury, PFOA and PFOS and microplastics fine filter.
12:09:23 From Dr. Tom Lewis : I do not use a whole house filter at this point but it is coming.
12:12:22 From Martha : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

Thank you, Dr. Tom! Remember that when you install the whole house filter that you do not need to bother filtering water that goes into the toilet! I realized that only AFTER we had installed our whole house water filtration system! Live and learn – or at least pass along to others what we have learned from our mistakes!
12:13:28 From Joy G : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

Martha, I suppose this means if you have any pets who like to drink out of the toilet, they are all set with healthy water 😀
12:14:02 From Dr. Tom Lewis To Martha(privately) : I’m renovating everything including plumbing so will do this then…
12:14:50 From Steve : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

@Martha I use "grey water" for flushing.
12:16:14 From Martha : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

@Joy G Good point, Joy!
12:16:43 From Martha : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

@Steve Steve – Is “grey water” water that has only been “partially filtered”?
12:18:16 From Steve : Replying to "I do not use a whole..."

Mainly it's captured water from various activities. Some folks install separate pipes to capture dish washing water, but I've not gone that far.
12:18:36 From Joy G : What markers in bloodwork would be indicative of NAFLD?
12:22:58 From kumar : What is a test to request for detecting fatty liver?
12:23:42 From Dr. Tom Lewis : Joy: Fasting insulin and glucose. Triglycerides, A1C but most importantly - liver enzymes.
12:24:48 From Steve : I spoke with Dr Hoffman re Metase, the enzyme to reduce methionine. It costs $1000/month (no extra zeros included :*( )
12:25:49 From Marsha Zoll To Dr. Tom Lewis(privately) : Who is the Dr. friend in Ocala?

Yes, the cleverest!
12:32:38 From Marsha Zoll To Dr. Tom Lewis(privately) : Thanks, Dr. Lewis
12:33:00 From Martha : But, at the end of the day, isn’t “autophagy” sometimes a good thing? …especially, for example, in the brain?

Cancer cells can use the cellular components which are the result of autophagy.
12:40:54 From Sharon Kelly 85532 : Does that mean a hot bath causes glycation? I do save my bath (cold) for next day and after sauna I do cold bath
12:41:27 From Dr. Tom Lewis : Hot bath is a lot cooler compared to the surface of an electrical heating pad.
