Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@WilliamBlake I don't know about this particular example of the eye (which is wild), but Michael Levin has been working on bioelectricity as a means of changing organism body plan, and enhancing regeneration of removed limbs (as in salamanders): https://www.bitsofwonder.co/p/a-revolution-in-biology
Wikipedia has some more elaboration:

I don't know about being able to sleep wherever I am, but when I'm in good health, one of the important things that happens is that I need less sleep overall, and do take less time to fall asleep.
This is amazing as even without getting into the "quality of life" stuff, it gives me something like an extra hour every day, which is huge over the course of a life.
I've recently been following a variation of anabology's "Honey Diet" (mostly, I don't eat any fat, protein, or starch until dinner) which has pushed the needle in this direction.
Pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.
I sometimes turn on my red light for many hours at a time in the winter with some idea of emulating sunlight... I actually did that yesterday and today I felt quite tired and my eyes were hurting.
Perhaps that is counterproductive.

Here is a possible alternative if you have the time and interest to explore.
For most people today, the main postural ailment is something like upper crossed syndrome, or forward head posture, usually caused by constant use of computers.
I would consider this personally my one main remaining, looming, health problem. I very rarely have migraines now, but when I do, they always seem to radiate from the atlas vertebrae, which connects the skull to the neck.
When my father had excruciatingly painful back problems, he was ultimately able to treat them by bedrest mixed with regularly hanging from a chin-up bar. This hanging is something I am considering implementing myself for my less severe issues.
Has this forum had good experience with simple therapies for treating this? Obviously "sit up straight' isn't bad advice, but perhaps there is something better to help.
The twitter account here: https://x.com/spheno_xiphoid is somewhat interesting and helpful so far. As are the articles on MSK neurology: https://mskneurology.com/association-tinnitus-neck-tmj/
@pondfountain If you find that thermometers available are not sufficiently accurate, or corresponding to a particular book... it may not be worth agonizing over. Assuming that each individual thermometer is accurate to its own bias (as opposed to truly all over the place), you already have a pretty good system for making bioenergetic improvements.
When I feel warmer after eating something like coconut oil and sugar, it is reflected in the thermometer I use. I am able to correlate my general metabolic state (stressful or redox) to this reading and how I feel.
Although I admit that it may be worth getting more serious for more serious problems. As you have no post history I am not able to judge your context.
@bio3nergetic Good points. I think if there is any hope it lies in simultaneously hitting the books, so as to benefit from some of the fruits of centralized power (such as knowledge of electricity...), and a fixation towards the real and immediately relevant above all else.
Perhaps it is naive but I think that the real and true will ultimately win by definition. The elites generally never let a good crisis go to waste, but it does not mean that genuine crisis, conflict, and change is not possible.
@bio3nergetic Hm. What to say? I think it makes sense if one takes the root of "dialectics" to be "dialogue" rather than "di" as in two. A dialogue often has two sides, but it can have more. Within the dialogue the number of perspectives hopefully exceeds two as it moves forward in time, otherwise there was nothing developed and it might not be called dialectical. There is a "negatiion of the negation" in Hegelian terms.
I think it is fair to say as you point out that elements of the ruling class attempt to gesture at this to gain a sense of legitimacy. Obama and Hitler are both decent examples of fake revolutionaries who tried to use this as a technology.
But the nature of the true opposition is within Carl Schmitt's war-theory of politics, whose conflict is often ugly and vulgar. And so a current of the actual opposition does inevitably develop, although it is scorned from all established sides and may not even make sense. MAGA is the most potent articulation of this so far.
@bio3nergetic This is not a bad point, but I think your notion of The Creation maps quite well onto Lenin's definition of matter anyways.
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:39.000
Lysenko represented the truly materialist approach to reality.01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:54.000
Western genetics theory represents the imposed rationalist, reductionist approach to reality.01:28:54.000 --> 01:29:07.000
So the Westernization required knocking out any of the remaining actual materialists.01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:32.000
One of Lenin's best pieces of writing was explaining essentially that the concept of materialism in the West is pure idealism, absolutely the negation of materialism in Lenin's sense.01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:50.000
Lenin said knowledge is composed of memory, but the memories are recordings of experience, and experience is always new.01:29:50.000 --> 01:30:03.000
The source of experience is matter, and so matter is only what is potential to be experienced.01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:28.000
So materialism means looking to the future and the possibilities of experience, where the genetics and reductionists try to base their rationalism on an organization of existing knowledge, pre-existing ideas,01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:35.000
and breaking those down into logical, computable units and so on.01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:57.000
The essence of Lenin's type of materialism is essentially identifying it with the life process, the process of being conscious and having new experience is the process of interacting with the material world.01:30:57.000 --> 01:31:05.000
So this is the same idea as Aristotle's prima matter, the pure potential out of which everything arises.01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:09.000
Yep, creative potential.
Perhaps with an added understanding of potentiality, and a discarding of exactly what the life process cannot ultimately come to understand. Which as Peat points out is a big part of Aristotle, his emphasis on Infinity as not actually existing but being mostly a potential.
