here is mounting evidence that tulsi can address physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress through a unique combination of pharmacological actions. Tulsi has been found to protect organs and tissues against chemical stress from industrial pollutants and heavy metals, and physical stress from prolonged physical exertion, ischemia, physical restraint and exposure to cold and excessive noise. Tulsi has also been shown to counter metabolic stress through normalization of blood glucose, blood pressure and lipid levels, and psychological stress through positive effects on memory and cognitive function and through its anxiolytic and anti-depressant properties. Tulsi's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, which includes activity against a range of human and animal pathogens, suggests it can be used as a hand sanitizer, mouthwash and water purifier as well as in animal rearing, wound healing, the preservation of food stuffs and herbal raw materials and traveler's health.

Tulsi (also known as Ocimum sanctum or holy basil) is an aromatic plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae) native to India and Southeast Asia.[5] It is rich in various bioactive phytochemicals, including rosmarinic acid, apigenin, ursolic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and eugenol.

The anti-inflammatory effects are thought to be due to the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX)

BTW COX is also inhibited by Aspirin...

@wester130 said in what is causing body hair/nose hair and ear hair if not androgens?:

this feels like a deep set problem in my body, like something is totally failing, like my adrenal gland

Yep, good point. Treat emodin as a temporary fix/mitigation, when you will continue to work on your general health and well-being...

These two products you suggested had too much shitty preservatives inside, etc.

I use this one below in tiny doses - I open the capsule and use only about 1/10 or 1/5 at once. You will need to experiment with your optimal dosage. Too much may make you run to the toilet
(Cascara is a natural source of emodin)

You can also try this one if available https://idealabs.ecwid.com/Lapodin-p70230379

how does a person reduce cortisol if things like dhea

Try emodin (cascara)

@Mauritio said in Random, interesting studies:

Doesn't add up .

Welcome to the real world of Complex Adaptive Systems

This means that reaction/influence/outcome is context-dependent. I.e. may be different for different sexes or certain conditions/circumstances...

BTW Before Peatiing, I was hypothyroid with IBS-D and pretty low T...
When I was using p-mint it definitely was slowing down my digestive system - in opioid-like ways.
Secondly, at first, I was feeling the influence of rising dopamine (MAO-B inhibition), but after an hour or two it always turned into an increase in prolactin and a decrease in testosterone, which unfortunately was painfully noticeable for at least half of a day or night...

@Mauritio
It also worth noticing that peppermint is a κ-opioid receptor agonist...

@dapose said in AI Data Centers Massive Electricity Demand and EMFs:

The infrastructure supporting these facilities, including solar farms, wind farms, and other power stations and cooling systems, can disturb local ecosystems and contribute to habitat degradation.
Effects can impact migratory bird populations, bee activity and soil health.

Tech bros don't care, they are just in love with their new crooked toy...

And this is not good as many of our ecosystems are already at the edge...

@Milchbubi Nah, biohackers are usually still reductionist in mind...

@dapose said in Forum seems kinda dead... What other forums do you guys use:

I still listen to most old GE podcast all the time

Yeah, me too.

I hope Haidut will be a more frequent guest on the Strong SItas podcast.

Yep, I would also like such kind of native/indigenous animism (like Aboriginals in Australia) to become a thing again...

BTW
Danny and Haidut's beef ended a year ago with a declaration of peace, but it seems that some bad blood stayed...

Yep, caffeine works better for the ideas' implementation phase.
For inventiveness, I prefer Aspirin or Uridine...

I have just listened to the latest interview with Dr. Saladino and he seems to following Ray's advice only to some extent like 50-60%...
