Re:

lots of science people.. code breaking, signal processing. pychopharm,=membrane computing. all fun.. HOt yoga is not healthy, internal organ temp=too high, of course you like it, endo-release up to kazoo.. liver chem goe= way off--- Do you have a metric for success of the philanthropy. Mayor =f Harare, sounds great. salary billion dollars a day.

Well, I certainly have missed you.

I know that you are a keen observer and probably took away some intere=ting lessons.

I'm sorry that you had to go through all this crap -

Are you still doing science? Some super cool stuff out there.

I've also got some very crazy ideas of my own that we should talk =bout. Crazy even for me, but probably right. I think herpes causes a few t=pes of heart disease and treating it prevents stroke and heart attack. Stu=f like that!

Since you've been out of the loop some interesting stuff has happe=ed to me.

I've been writing for the FT style section (under a fake name) a=d friendly with some of the fancy designer types. Good practice for me! </=iv>

Still working on Special Initiatives at the Gates Foundation and also =eviewing the very crazy stuff that comes our way. I think you have a much =etter sense of the real vs. fake than Bill does.

I manage several different portfolios of Special Projects whose grants=commitments total about $315M. It's crazy to think about the amount of=money. Wow.

or a week. I'm excited about that!

non-invasive/high tech Also stuff still is doing making brain me surgery feel li=e and a dinosaur!). contemplating I just going don't back want for to leave more my t=aining Gates (only job and because a little the w=rried if I take any more time to be a doc, they will fire me. Not sure wha= to do but ultimately, I think I have more longevity as a superfly doc tha= I do working at the Foundation.

s doing fine - we just celebrated being together 10 years. Who =ould've thought? He's way up there at hese days and pretty m=ch hates his job.

I discovered hot yoga after all these years. Love it!

Well, I think that's about it for the past few months that you hav= been away.

I really have missed you a lot.

Hope that you are starting to feel back to normal and if there is anyt=ing I can do for you please let me

know?

oh my. someone has been feeding you misinformation. first of all, we h=ve a hypothalamus and the sweat that is released during hot yoga ensures t=at our internal organs and core temperature remains constant. second, it i=n't endorphins that are released. It's more likely acetylcholine o= nitric oxide. it's paradoxical because it is highly parasympathetic b=t still has elevated heart rate - probably as a result of the vagus nerve =n check. it is very interesting that people who do yoga do not catch infec=ious disease, alzheimers or parkinsons. it's not the fake converse thi=g where you can say that alzheimers/parkinsons/sick people can't do yo=a...it's the real deal. if you do a lot of yoga for a lot of years, yo= just dont get sick from diseases that are traditionally neurotransmitter-=ediated. it's also super interesting that women who get botox and do h=t yoga only have the effects of the botox for 2-4 weeks (1/3 the regular t=me►.

i've measured my temperature during yoga and tracked heart rate wi=h an ekg. very interesting. too much to type!

hang on more soon...

you need to back up your hot yoga benfits with real numbers.. the doc's=in new york see more hot yoga or iyengar devotees , than any other excerci=e regimen including weights
