Coca leaves

traditionally been used for altitude sickness (MoA= increase in CO2?),
Increasing stamina and reducing hunger and fatigue

Cocaine is just one of the many bioactive molecules. It contains 14 alkaloids in total .
They probably have synergistic effects.

The biological activity of the following alkaloids has been reported in the literature: cocaine, cinnamoylcocaine, benzoylecgonine, methylecgonine, pseudotropine, benzoyltropine, tropacocaine, alpha- and beta-truxilline, hygrine, cuscohygrine and nicotine.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6379304/
Ray said that the issue with cocaine is that increases your metabolism so much that you quickly develope vitamin deficiencies. This study found that chewing coca leaves increases the metabolisms of subjects by up 66%. There was one guy in the study for who it reduced it metabolism by about 20% and it was also the guy with the lowest body temp. Coca leaves actually decreased his temp from 36.3 to 36°C. So it seems like it made him hypoglycemic,maybe he didn't eat beforehand ?
For another guy it increased his temps to 37.6 .

@wester130 dissolve it in mitolipin then. the choline in it makes it transdermal absorb. you could just take it orally too. ive done ester'd steroids in mitolipin or vitamin e/olive oil and it works orally, the effects are obvious. Im pretty sure I did mitolipin + olive oil to cut it. the only thing I found is the choline dose got kind of high and I was also taking piracetam and colouracetam and nicotine gum and eating many eggs I got a mega choline depression and nausea that lasted a couple days, it was awful so I recommend being careful with supplemental choline. luckily cyproheptadine works to ameliorate cholingeric stuff I think.

@NoeticJuice said in Why is raypeatforum so touchy about the topic of looks, becoming more attractive, and height?:

I don't like narcissists but I don't judge them (in terms of right and wrong) for being narcissistic. There are reasons for why they are the way they are and they couldn't at that moment be any other way. If I know a person is a narcissist I would avoid them because being near them is likely to be harmful to me

Judging is so taboo in western culture. Saying I don't judge is just a way of fitting in to the norms of society, but in action we can see people judging even as they deny so in words. When you say you avoid being with narcissists, were you saying there is no judgment on your part?

But the rest I won't need to rebut. We both make arguments that can stand on their own weight. It's good we made our point heard. The divide is real between us. I would even say irreconcilable. All of this is subjective, and that outcome is expected in subjective matters.

Hope to see more agreement as we share ideas on bioenergetics.

@Mulloch94 would dissolving the bcaa in orange juice mask the taste?

Maybe, I find the bcaas to be bitter. My shake with milk, blueberries, bcaa, and honey (recently omitted bananas) tastes really good. So I know that combination works. It doesn't work in oatbran though, very bad, lol.

@Insomniac said in Dr John McDougall dead age 77:

@Mulloch94 The community knows exactly what happened here. It was the sweet potatoes. Killed by carotanemia and/or hypervitaminosis A

Haha, dude was looking a little orangey wasn't he 🙄 🤣

Edit: To be entirely fair and not make a complete spectacle of their views, it is reasonable to believe McDougall viewed carotene as a good thing. I don't know enough about him to confirm this as the case, but considering he was against animal forms of vitamin A it almost forces his hand here. Nevertheless, his wasting seemed to be a big driver to the decline of his health, just from a pure visual look at least.

@jamezb46
nothing - I meant increase the vitamin E/olive oil to 90% and make the rest 10% Food Grade Ethanol

Now foods Vitamin E is 95% vitamin E/5% Olive oil

"The Vitamin E content is >95% and the balance is olive oil.

Anything that increases androgens and lowers stress hormones. In my experience when I have increased androgens using DHEA and Progesterone combined with Androsterone it greatly increased volume. Also try to refrain from ejaculating for a few days and you will notice a big difference.

Cistance I also found to be very powerful.

@insufferable said in Why are women today, the non fat ones, better looking than women back then?:

I don't think it's makeup, the generations really do look different. I don't know why.

I think I remember a study that identified how skull shapes (within the same ethnicity) are changing over the last 100 years, but I can't find it.

Just found something:
https://news.utk.edu/2012/05/30/american-heads-getting-larger/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27737575/

Skulls have gotten higher, narrower, longer, and larger apparently.

You can look at old pictures, compare them to modern ones, and you can see the narrower and longer change. I noticed it many years ago looking at old pictures.

I guess it's happening for the same reason people are getting taller, this is the same phenomenon happening to the skull. @Crimkadid on twitter talks about stuff like this a lot.
