I'm with https://biohacking.forum, still relatively new but working on improving it

Appreciate it, but...

Yep, these are old episodes series that are being released now.

Jay probably had to sit on them for a bit given his relationship status with Danny.

Oh, that's interesting. Thank you for letting us know.

I think Danny boycott Jay and anyone that agrees to keep going on Mercola.

Danny is very passionate about Ray.

Yeah, I appreciate his devotion and militant support for Ray Peat.

However, I think Dr. Peat would prefer spreading his knowledge wide over holding grudges...

BTW, If I remember correctly Mercola apologized on the old forum...

Just saw that Haidut was on a podcast with Danny in October:

I read somewhere - probably on this forum or on X that the podcast was recorded before the beef...

Thanks @Mauritio!

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

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

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%...

@dapose
A lot is happening now geopolitically, or maybe it's just winter...
Or are people waiting for RFK Jr. to step in?
Or maybe it is a kind of hard time after Ray's death - some of his ideas are spreading in the wild but not always in ways Ray would like... The old forum collapsed badly, and maybe some of the enthusiasm has died down...
Also, the beef between Danny and Haidut was pretty destructive...

Moreover, digital culture and the military-industrial complex are pushing hard to prevail.

I’ve also heard that 75~85% of the internet is just bots and ai talkings to itself…

For sure, but probably the percentage is a bit lower (I hope)

I would love to meet human beings for coffee and cheese and high level discussion of how to end digital culture and demilitarize society.
And how to grow more fruit trees. I got a few people in my real world to bounce off ideas with thank god. But I need a Peat Gang.

It would be great, but we would probably need to invent teleportation portals for that...
Since we are probably spread geographically all over the world...

@Ismail You're welcome

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

But I personally feel that finding a balance between the demands of being an enabler of the spread of useful information risks not having enough time anymore to peek into unexplored and obscure crevices that lead to discoveries.

Yeah, well said. This is the Think part to Perceive and Act.

People on Twitter/X seem to have decent knowledge, but they seem to forget that learning is social and is in many aspects forged in creative dialogue...
Ray mentioned many times that one of his aims in publishing newsletters was also a way to get creative/constructive critique/feedback.

BTW I miss creative discussions with Haidut on the old forum or podcasts - it looks like he temporarily withdrew from online activity...

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

start a series of discussions where each week

I'm for it, but a biweekly schedule would probably be more friendly timing for me

Love the idea of the collective mind!

@CO3 To effectively block EMF you would need to sleep inside a big microwave...

You may also want to know about an important difference between earthing and grounding... https://youtu.be/JGD68wd_f7I

@ThinPicking said in Ray peat mentioned on /x/:

Do what thou Peat shall be the whole of the Law.

@Ismail said in Bioenergetic Cardiology & the Awesome Foursome:

Anyone else had positive/negative reactions to L-Carnitine and/or D-Ribose?

I always felt bad after L-Carnitine. Bioenergetics helped me to understand why:

After L-carnitine, serotonin increased (8-fold in CFS, Sig. = 0.002, 6-fold in hypothyroidism, Sig. < 0.001) whereas fatigue decreased (2-fold in both CFS and hypothyroidism, Sig. = 0.002 for CFS, Sig. < 0.001 for hypothyroidism)
