Classic serotonin syndrome. Can be caused by drug-interactions between anti-histamines and any number of the things he's been taking.

@The-First-One I largely agree. My experiences have given me the impression that there is an inextricable link between ESP, etc. and metabolism. Perhaps this link even ought to be taken as a starting point for interpreting the modern political project of ruining metabolism. Reich's idea of genitalization seems useful for understanding these things.

@Lovesickhs18 Basically just a cathedral with a big garden in the high mountains.

@donovan Yeah probably, I like to steam and fry them in butter. There are worse vices.

@Goonster I love brussel sprouts but they very definitely impact my digestion in a negative way.

@peaty !

Get a normal 250 watt phillips bulb. These have recently gone out of production so there are probably others with a similar design that are cheaper. It really doesn't matter much. Shouldn't be any substantial difference of EMF, the main thing for reducing that is just to have it pointing straight at you. There isn't really a point in getting one that is actually red in colour unless you wanna pretend to live in Das boot [1981].

@OrpingtonClose If any substance is to be called the devil it is undoubtedly serotonin.

"Irradiation by ultraviolet, gamma, or x-rays, and even by blue light, is damaging to mitochondrial respiration. All of the ionizing radiations produce immediate and lingering edema, which continues to damage metabolism in a more or less permanent way, apart from any detectable mutagenic actions. The amount of water taken up following irradiation can be 20% to 30% of the normal weight, which is similar to the amount of swelling that intense work produces in a muscle, and to the weight increase under hormonal imbalances. The energy changes produced by irradiation in, for example, the heart, appear to accelerate the changes produced by aging. Since unsaturated fats accumulate in the respiratory system with aging, and are targets for radiation damage, the involvement of these fats in all sorts of antirespiratory degenerative processes deserves more attention. Darkness, like irradiation, excess lactate, and unsaturated fats, has the diabetes-like effect of greatly reducing the ability of muscle to absorb sugar, while light stimulates respiration"
Altitude and mortality

"It turns out that the meaning of "excess estrogen" has to be interpreted in relation to the balance of estrogen (and the multitude of factors which mimic estrogen's effects) with all of the antiestrogen factors. I have concentrated on thyroid, progesterone, and red light as the most important factors that protect against estrogen, and these all turn out to be protective against stress, shock, ionizing radiation, free radicals, lipid peroxidation, thymic atrophy, osteoporosis, arthritis, scleroderma, apoptotic cell death, and other problems that are involved in tissue degeneration or aging.."

In regular sunlight the beneficial wavelengths hugely mitigate the effects of the harmful ones. The idea of red light therapy is predicated on this idea, namely on the blue end of the spectrum being harmful. Since shorter wavelenghts carry more energy and don't penetrate very far, they cause a lot of problems at the skin-level. Any benefit from them is therefore also limited to the skin, viz. to the production of vit D in this case. NB. that light from mercury vapor lamps is colder (bluer) than sunlight, and that the proportion of harmful light is therefore higher.

Longer wavelenghts penetrate much further, which is why your hand looks red over a flashlight. It has been noted by Peat and others that the switch to mercury vapor lamps in hospitals and schools coincided with an increase of mortality. Furthermore, and in part because of this, mercury vapor lamps meant for people and not lizards are coated with phosphor to mitigate the harmful frequencies (and also to reduce ozone synthesis).

Another issue with mercury vapor is the tendency towards low energy nuclear reactions. Old mercury vapor lamps have been found to contain gold not found in the source mercury. This indicates that some truly harmful radiation resulting from some anomalous nuclear reaction may occur (possibly so-called exotic vacuum objects, but this is of course a controversial topic).

In my view, while I like mercury vapor lamps for other reasons, they operate completely contrary to the point of light therapy. They have large drawbacks, and no obvious benefits apart from vitamin D.

@ah Dosage makes the poison.

@anabology said in Glyphosate doesn't mater:

Glyphosate has a predicted logp of -4.6, meaning it's very water soluble, so it's likely going right thru the kidneys and not being stored in fat.

Glyphosate bioaccumulates in cartilage. Especially bovine cartilage, which is of special interest to those who consume gelatin/collagen. Besides, there is quite literally a billion dollar industry in proving glyphosate safe by way of "research".

@Rapist Watch 1st gen antihistamines are good in moderation, but in high dose, and especially if you are on some bulgarian cocktail, present a very real risk of serotonin syndrome.

@Lukey Yes it is analogous to the sun, and uv oxidizes pufa and is generally speaking estrogenic.

@Lukey The germicidal action of UV lamps are, of course, due to their UV light. The idea of using a chicken lamp is that you escape that UV light. Ray said, regarding natural light, that the higher wavelengths compensate for the harmful action of the lower ones.
