This is probably the best post on boron (by Travis) .
I agree with the hypothesis that arthritis might be of fungal origin and that borons main effect is anti-fungal. Not only that it also protects against fungal toxins like aflatoxin (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X23000032)
It's wild that Travis took gram -amounts of boron. It is inherently non toxic , apparently less toxic than salt.

Boron lowers PTH and cortisol, while increasing vitamin D and osteocalcin in this animal study.
Osteocalcin is anabolic and androgenic . Just do quick search on it , it has some interesting pro-metabolic properties.

Raisins are pretty good sources of boron averaging about 2mg/100mg. If you can find low PUFA ,sun dried ones. Should be good !

Raisins also have benefits on intestines, increasing transit speed and SCFA in the stool.
125g raisins/day decreased the transit time from 42h to 28h! That's a huge benefit.
I notice lessened constipation from raisins as well.

"Both sun-dried raisins and cream of tartar appear to be good stool softeners and to shorten intestinal transit time, although the fibre in sun-dried raisins has the added benefit of increasing faecal weight. Both sun-dried raisins and cream of tartar modulate the composition of faecal bile acids and SCFA in a way that has potential health benefits."

@yerrag said in How to get rid off the mold?:

And then have a good essential oil diffuser with a good antifungal blend such as those with esters such as lavender, Clary sage, geranium, and Roman chamomile. But be certain to check that your pets are not sensitive to them.

That's a good idea!
I would add thyme oil as well.

Edit: but don't the diffusers use water as a base and thus increase the rooms humidity ?

@cs3000 said in Just 1 minute of red light is effective:

Just 5 minutes a week (20mw/cm2) increased lifespan, bone size, cartilage amount in aged mice
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1011134424001179

"The survival rate of treated SAMP8 mice was increased and their median lifespan was extended by >80% as compared to non-treated mice (Fig. 1C). "
That's pretty decent for a little bit of light.

@cs3000 Just one minute in the morning was enough to improve eye health in a study . It only worked in the morning as far as I remember. There seems to be something about red light in the morning being very healthy . Huber man talks about that a lot. It regulating circadian rhythms etc.

Red light also increases exercise recovery.
And it changes the micro biome in a beneficial way.

Ray also said that after sunbathing shining red light on the hair (or skin) for a few seconds will prevent damage.

@cs3000 ok thanks.

@Mauritio said in Rapamycin: Anti-aging and metabolic dream drug?:

Surprisingly this review argued that quinones would increase mTOR.
Because quinones increase Nrf2 which in turn increases mTOR.

What should we think of that ?
In theory that would cause a pro-cancer effect, but quinones do lot more than activating Nrf2 ...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7145749/

Here's a few studies that a quinone, thymoquinine to be precise, inhibits mTOR and thus has an anti-cancer effect.

Very interesting . I guess the mechanism would be its oxidizing effects?

Ray talked about it a few times in his newsletter and it didn't sound positive.
Also methylglyoxal is a naturally occuring of glycolysis (not oxidative phosphorylation) so it should be higher in unhealthy people . Plus it can be converted into lactate, which is the body's way of detoxing it.

When you read studies on it, it doesn't sound encouraging, it's seen as cause of diabetes and other illnesses.
Shouldn't it be very good for diabetes if it's so pro-metabolic ? Maybe it rises as a defense mechanism .

"...MGO is linked to the development of diabetes, vascular complications of diabetes, and other age-related diseases."
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31539311/

Methylglyoxal is a major cell-permeant precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are associated with several pathologies including diabetes, aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Then there's this quote by Peat.

And this study showing dietary intake being associated with less low grade Inflammation.

@yerrag not sure.

Looksmaxxer will love this one.

@bio3nergetic said in RFK Jr. Officially Nominated for HHS Secretary.:

After all, I "dare to think."

And I appreciate that doesn't mean you're always right and that is why many don't "dare" to do think in the first place.

@bio3nergetic It's always fascinating when people speak about something with such authority and confidence, when they really have no way of knowing that any of their conclusions are true.
So I think it's good for all of us to take a step back and realize again that these are just opinions (including mine) and nobody knows what's really going on .

Lidocaine helos with lungs cancer in this study via SIRT5 activation.

"...lidocaine treatment might inhibited the lung cancer progression through decreasing the SIRT5 mediated succinylation of HIST1H2BL."

He might push for a (partial) legalization of psychedelics

Just imagine him banning PUFA I wonder what ray would have said to that...
https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1848499491151745180

This is epic.
Although I'm sure some cynical bastard is already typing :"Oh he's part of them, you think they would let him have power, if he really wanted to change things?"

I disagree , this time seems different.

RFK seems like a good guy. Wasn't there even somebody Peaty in his circle ? Or maybe that was nick Fuentes .

Hes definitely aware of the dangers of PUFA or seed oils as the right wingers say. And that health is the basis of everything .

Trump is putting together a good cabinet . RFK, Tulsi, Musk, Vivek, ...

It's also a nice move of synchronicity that at the same day trump was elected our
left-green German government collapsed. Wish we had guys like the US in the pipeline, but it doesn't look good.

@cs3000 said in Thymus health:

Looks like the main benefit of the Thymus could actually be from suppressing too much immune damage via t reg cells

That is such an interesting thought. Why wouldnt we have an organ whos purpose it is to dampen excessive inflammation, given chronic inflammation is a part of so many diseases.

@yerrag yeah right and didn't they give cortisone to calm the cytokine storm for COVID ?

A list of anti-fungals that worked for me:

• Thyme essential oil
• MSM
• caprylic acid
• Undecylenic acid
• Haarlem oil
• 10-MH
• Black cumin seeds
• Lidocaine
• Rowachol
• Lentils (just a teaspoon)
• Vitamin D + K

COVID destroys the thymus gland. The thymus expresses ACE2 which facilitates viral entry, so ACE2 inhibitors might help here.

Also interesting that disease severity correlated with thymus atrophy.
