The existence of a few systems of positive feedback indicates that our fundamental structure is biased in an expansive, upward direction
Even though health advice doesn’t work for me, it’s nice to see simple things be effective for the people I care about. Baking soda helping my dad’s reflux, or magnesium helping his blood pressure. Boswellia bringing my mom’s hand inflammation down so she has an easier time…
Electrical stimulation of the afferent vagus nerve in rats for 2hrs activated HPA axis and increased hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) expression, plasma ACTH, plasma corticosterone, and inflammatory cytokine IL-1B
In his article "The dark side of stress" Peat asserts DHEA increases cholinesterase activity but his reference (Aly, 2011) shows the opposite.
The virtues of Quinine in regards to inflammation and serotonin. Leaning heavily on @haidut’s compilation of the literature (with some updates), I wanted to give a brief overview of why day-drinking gin & tonics isn’t as bad of an idea as you would think.
Vagal tone (measured by HRV) inversely correlated with TNF-α levels in Crohn’s: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
While MAHA takes a victory lap to celebrate Coca Cola's shift to cane sugar, section 453 of the FY 2026 Interior-Environment Appropriations Bill quietly advanced. This provision will grant pesticide manufacturers immunity from failure-to-warn lawsuits and will lock our food and…
“One particle, plus one particle, put together at random, are two particles, 1+1 = 2; the system is additive. But if two particles are put together in a meaningful way then something new is born which is more than their sum: 1+1 > 2. This is the most basic equation of biology. It…
Humans with VNS implants that do electrical stimulation - and this can be throughout the entire day mind you with breaks in between, don't experience the results of the study you posted
Most research published in Science or Nature journals are not trustable
Milk: Estrogens, Androgens, Misconceptions and reality. A Thread 🧵:
Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome comprises a coordinated, adaptive, systemic response to prolonged non-specific stress. This response is necessary for facilitating defense learning and maintenance. However, the process of adaptation may itself become the immediate cause…
Telegony is trending, so let’s clear up some misconceptions: A woman doesn’t have to get pregnant for “foreign DNA” to permanently persist in her system. Any act of insemination (even via ingestion) leads to spermatozoa-somatic cell fusion. These hybrid cells are irrevocably…
Foid, look at what you’ve done: >Sperm fuses with somatic cells to form chimeric cells (regardless of fertilization) >Chimeric cells with foreign DNA are highly susceptible to malignant tumor formation >Chimeric cells persists for 40-50 generations (bloodline curse)
I will always remember Gilbert Ling explaining in the On the Back of a Tiger interview how he avoids dish soap because it uncouples proteins... archive.org/details/05DrGi…
Residues from dishwasher rinse aids could cause gut issues. “Detergent residue from professional dishwashers demonstrated the remnant of a significant amount of cytotoxic and epithelial barrier-damaging rinse aid remaining on washed and ready-to-use dishware. The expression of…
Been running this custom B complex lately based on CMJ reccs + gene/lab results. B1: 1mg TTFD (titrate up over time) B2: 6mg r5p B3: 30mg niacinamide B5: 10mg panthotenic acid B6: 3mg p5p B7: 150mcg Biotin B9: 100mcg methylfolate (titrate up over time) B12: 200mcg…
'water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light". ' (found via HN)
Yeah the ingredient to avoid is C12-C16 ethoxylated alcohols. Toxins added to your dishes just to keep water from leaving spots when it dries. Chemgroid mindset
