Harold and Maude. By far, the film worth seeing once, or once more, on the list :)

Thanks for the review.

This effect isn't limited to people with anxiety and depression. People losing weight also experience it: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/metabolic-research-center/146593-paper-towel-theory.html

It's hard to be objective about yourself. Using tools to gain objectivity is a good thing.

I agree anti-placebo isn't a a good name. It's more like a distorted or cloudy mirror (don't see yourself clearly). but that doesn't capture the difficulty of remembering precisely how you were a long time before, to capture changes that happen at a slow rate.

Having a good name for this, will help people to pass along the idea. Thanks Shannon.

Ha, small world. I actually ran into A Rosetta Stone a little while back when I was doing haskell & physics in my free time; I've skimmed it before. I'll have to go back and read it more closely now that I know the basics of Category Theory a little better.

Thanks for the tips!

He takes individual variation very seriously. Blood and saliva tests are a good idea before supplements because needs and reactions for supplements vary a lot.

He believes that the human body has evolved to be good at living, and it's better to support it and find out what's getting in its way rather than just trying to prevent symptoms.

At the same time, he also comes up with a scoring system for a person's symptoms-- efforts at treatment should either improve the score or be discontinued.

Possibly important for LW: He believes that very low carb diets + hard exercise with insufficient recovery + fasting all increase stress hormones, and can lead to exhaustion that takes a lot of time and work to cure, and that people don't necessarily get a lot of warning before they're in trouble.

This health coach seems sensible, and might be cheaper than Metamed.

Thanks for organizing this!

I enjoyed meeting all of you, and hope that there are more meetups in the future.

I have roughly doubled my monthly income. I thank efm, SDr, Ralith, and Burninate for pushing me to increase my price beyond what I would have cowardly accepted.

Catch is going away the end of August 2013.

I use Catch (catch.com). It's through the web, and on android. It has an open API, https://catch.com/developer/ so if you wanted to wrap your own SRS system around it, you could.
