Is it? Those guys were throwing max 85-90, probably fastballs only. Playing a bunch of guys that would be ok high school pitchers in todays game. Babe had power but his form was crap. Now you have guys throwing 2 seamer, 4 seamers, curves, sliders, drop balls, change-ups and sidearm at 90 mph average around the league. Multiple guys topping 103.

Plus, he didn’t play against the best of the best, it was the best of the white guys.

Ruth swung sitting fastball every pitch. Swinging like a 4 year old boy. Today he’d be a guy that would be playing slow pitch softball hitting it a country mile.

Stupid you don’t have the mind to think things through.

That's not true. Pitchers back then were allowed to doctor the ball. So it wasn't just fastballs.

Serum magnesium level always looks fine, but it takes a bunch for a while to correct tissue levels. Various folks with various opinions, but 600-800mg elemental seems to be common. I personally take 400mg of glycinate and 200mg of chloride. Both are well absorbed, so no bowel distress. Malate is a good form too. Definitely wouldn't recommend that much of citrate or oxide...cause dang.

What do you take Doc?

Think i'm going to hop on the magnesium train. Wifey takes 240mg magnesium citrate/malate. I was going to do that. Not sure what the slashed combo means. I thought those were different things.

Would you switch to glycinate (when bottle runs out). And add chloride?

What about the distances to the fence in those days or the baseballs used were softer then. Other things to consider besides pitch speed and movement

Chloride apparently has a specific affinity for prostate. There are some pretty cool anecdotes from doctors back in the early 1900s about helping with BPH and urine retention, and there has been recent research as well, so I started taking it. I buy it a kilogram at a time, make a saturated solution (Mg oil) and keep it in a squeeze bottle, and take a teaspoon of that every day. That equates to a couple hundred mg of elemental Mg.

Glycine is a useful amino acid, and Mg glycinate provides that while being very well absorbed, so I take 400mg elemental of that as well.

Malate is a good form as well. No problem with it, so yeah finish it, but I prefer glycinate.

Thanks a lot.

Our magnesium citrate/malate is in 120mg capsules, so I could add a third to 360.

Since the subject of nutrition has come up again, I'll toss out one that kinda blew my mind...

I recently had my first kidney stone. While searching for remedies, I read up on the herb phyllanthus niruri, and started drinking a tea of it several times a day. Don't know where I am with the stone, but the crazy thing is that after 2 weeks or so, my fasting glucose dropped 15 or 20 points.

Because I am genetically at risk for cognitive decline, I try hard to keep sugar down (it's a risk factor). I'm not diabetic, but mine stays stubbornly high (fbg is often 100-110) and I've had little luck moving it. To see fbg in the mid 80s is not normal for me, even taking Metformin.

Had brunch today, omelette with a nice order of breakfast potatoes...2hr postprandial sugar was *86*...unheard of for me.

Not sure what the impact to a diabetic would be, but anyone with marginal sugar should be able to benefit. It does take 2+ weeks for the effect to kick in, but it's absolutely been worth it for me.

Hernia is 30-60 days before beginning exercise again. It kind of puts him at least Mid-Late September, so sounds about right.

Is it a separate test they do only for people with or in danger of diabetes? Or idk why it's not in my blood panels.
Click to expand...

Pretty standard, but I don't think it's part of normal blood panels. Given me being marginal my doctor pushed me to get a meter, so I check myself.
