@Vonshlovens I microneedle.

@yerrag The turbines kill so many birds and bats. They're making people sick and causing farm animals to die. They shed pfas from blades that spin at speeds of 100 mph, and people need to learn about the dangers of "infrasound." NO ONE should be within 3 miles of those things. People want to move but their property values plummet so they're sick, broke, and stuck. I do respect your opinions and experience, but will need to table theorizing about the viability of his strategies. I would however still like to hear from others who have read his book and tried out his recommendations.

@Mulloch94 Yeah, the corporate and "rational" (reductionistic) world is probably still in love with a single metric/KPI... I guess that IQ may be somewhat helpful in measuring the ability to "connect the dots", but intelligence is also about perceiving things "out of the box" (predictive processing), knowing how to make sense of things, not being blinded by ego, etc. There are also theories about extended cognition i.e. 4E Fun fact, according to a test done many years ago when I was low in T3, my results in categories of IQ and "processing speed" were exactly on the opposite sides of the Gauss curve, LOL!

@wrl Thanks, although there is no book of my particular interest, there are some other very interesting and related works by H.

https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/506291-2020 From the document IV.1.1. Type of procedure Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive Explanation: For reasons of extreme urgency under Regulation 32(2)(c) related to the release of a Covid-19 vaccine MHRA have accelerated the sourcing and implementation of a vaccine specific AI tool. Strictly necessary — it is not possible to retrofit the MHRA’s legacy systems to handle the volume of ADRs that will be generated by a Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, if the MHRA does not implement the AI tool, it will be unable to process these ADRs effectively. This will hinder its ability to rapidly identify any potential safety issues with the Covid-19 vaccine and represents a direct threat to patient life and public health. Reasons of extreme urgency — the MHRA recognises that its planned procurement process for the SafetyConnect programme, including the AI tool, would not have concluded by vaccine launch. Leading to a inability to effectively monitor adverse reactions to a Covid-19 vaccine. Events unforeseeable — the Covid-19 crisis is novel and developments in the search of a Covid-19 vaccine have not followed any predictable pattern so far. IV.1.3.

@jamsey Bookmarking, really want to know more about gelatin.

@noodlecat59 for a lot of guys fapping/nsfw stuff is a way to cope with not having access to irl sex with a real woman given that these days it's becoming increasingly harder for many guys who are not very high in the looks and other stat percentile to find a girl that even notices them in first place and that doesn't see them as blending in the background with other guys/not existing in the first place so in some ways it's more so a result than the cause/issue itself, PMO that is as some guys even after months of being on dating apps or even being outside irl still don't find girls for whom they are enough to see them anything more than platonically as long as ur androgens/energy keeps producing and flowing it will inevitabely keep making your libido/sexual desire more pronounced so if u don't have any woman irl to indulge with in it you will end up edging, fapping or watching nsfw stuff to somewhat satiate that desire the nofap/semen retention rhetorians ignore the lookism aspect and other social elements of this and act as if anyone regardless of their other stats or social-sexual dynamics of the world will be able to get laid magically the moment they reach x day on nofap and that just stopping fapping/watching porn will somehow solve most of their problems

@Peatly said in Human wishes influencing fertility - Wilhelm Reich: Who Is Bill Gates? thx

@BioEclectic Chris is pretty cool, I can't say I agree with everything he says, but I can't really say that about anyone so it's all good. The guy does relentless research, so I know he's never going into something half-cocked. You could save your eggshells and just use a coffee grinder on them, rather then spending money on calcium carbonate. It's essentially the same thing. Yeah that shit sucks about supermarket meats. Before I relocated I was getting most of my meats from a local source, but right now I'm not in contact with any good local guys to source product so I'm just keeping my meat consumption to a minimum. I usually eat meat and veggies with dinner, but for breakfast and lunch it's been oatbran with casein protein (also a good source of calcium) and coffee with milk. I cook my oatbran in apple juice too.

@Peatly said in Mild Vitamin A deficiency decreases DHEA and Pregnenolone by 40%: @Mauritio Thank you. I just found this quote from the mega master newsletter "Recently, the polyunsaturated oils have been identified as the main thing in cells that radiation interacts with, to cause cellular damage. Vitamin E, taken internally or even applied to the skin, has been found to reduce the damage produced by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which is logical, since it interrupts the chain reactions of toxic free-radicals produced when unsaturated oils are oxidized by radiation or other injury. Aspirin has been found to have a similar effect in reducing the harmful effects which develop in the skin after sunlight overexposure. Coconut oil has been used for generations in “ suntan lotions, ” and whether it is absorbed through the skin or eaten as a food, it clearly has a protective antioxidant function. Carotene seems to work with vitamin E in the skin to reduce injury by ultraviolet radiation. Caffeine also has shown a protective action against radiation, but its mechanism of action isnʼt clearly understood." Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients, June 1996, Page 83 – 85 Dr. Peat also said he stopped burning in the sun after supplementing vitamin D, getting lots of milk and limiting PUFA. Good one.

@hypercashoidism i don't recall reading anything except guesswork. In addition to coconut oil i've seen castor oil mentioned more than once. A person can do separate protocols of both oils, taking a short break when completed with one before they begin the other, that would be my advice anyway ..

@Mauritio Nice find! Thank you.

Lathering the skin with D-panthenol (or dexpanthenol) may lead to local overconsumption of NAD+. Nutrient Metabolism: Structures, Functions, and Genes (978-0-12-387784-0) "CoA synthesis uses pantothenate, cysteine, one adenylate, three phosphates, and the energy of six high-energy phosphates from ATP (Figure 10.43). Significant amounts of pantothenate are generated from pantetheine through the action of pantetheine hydrolase (EC3.5.1.-), which is expressed in many tissues. Panthenol and panthenal may also be converted to a limited extent into pantothenate by alcohol dehydrogenase (EC1.1.1.1) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC1.2.1.3)."

I believe it may be an estrogen problem for most of these people. All the papers by Mawson I've read seem to point towards an increase in retinoic acid at the particular diseased site, or a dis-regulation of retinoid signalling like in glioblastoma. From this Ray article it seems estrogen is responsible for triggering certain inflammatory immune response like the chitinase enzymes etc. I wouldn't be surprised if it did the same with retinoic acid needlessly at the site of inflammation. I think a lot of their benefits are as you say blunting the immune response but also I'd add a reduced endotoxin load. They all seem to do bad ("detox reactions") without any binders.
