Quantification of Health - CH Ting "Hear this: 'Health can be measured!'" "Health is generally considered to be a very nebulous concept. Everybody talks about it, but nobody knows for sure what they are talking about. I would like to conduct two experiments in a effort to measure willing participants' health. I will initially request that everybody contribute a urine sample, for which I will measure its Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), which is a fairly accurate measure of health. I will then ask everybody to take 10 grams of sodium ascorbate (a form of Vitamin C) orally every two hours, to see how much Vitamin C results in diarrhea. This amount is a reliable quantitative measure of one's health. I will injest these amounts of Vitamin C myself, to show everyone that it is perfectly safe to do so." "Vitamin C is like Forth - it is a very simple solution to a very complex problem - if you know what the problem is. So, I think this is an appropriate topic for the SVFIG meeting." |
