A thought I have is about whether smoking is superior in that it delivers directly to the lungs the nicotine. If smoke quality is good and only nicotine and what else comes from tobacco leaf is what the lungs receive, wouldn't this likely to be therapeutic?

Since we thinking of smoking as only bad without any qualification, we may be wanting to stay within the limits set by conventional wisdom.

Conventional wisdom being often, or mostly wrong, we may just be shutting ourselves off from the best solution offered in the simplest package from nature.

@S-Holmes id rather you just tell me.

edit nvm I am reading that thread again

@S-Holmes
How much of the BHB salts do you take per day?

By what I've coped to read up on BHB:

it doesn't smell as butyric acid does. It can therefore be used as loose powder. it shares many benefits with butyric acid, mostly the general HDAC-inhibition which is super super crucial for maintaining intestinal stem cell renewal to thwart lasting damages from chemical, toxic, irradation treatments.
-2b. the removal of inhibitions for the mitochondrial enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA synthase HMGCS(2) is decisive for that stem cell renewal.
-2c. glucose dieting is the worst for healing intestinal issues as, in total contrast, it inhibits HMGCS2 even significantly more instead of helping this much needed recovery pathway.
-2cc. going by this to me new info I really shot myself in the guts, metaphorically, by hoping for relief and recovery through glucose. Since my health issues start or end in the guts it now appears I've put the cart before the horse. Insert an array of swear words here. Damn! some intestinal bacteria can even use their β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase to convert it to butyric acid.
-3b. it's a substrate for the fragile lactobacilli to form beneficial biofilms (purportedly very rare) so they can maintain their colonisation and barrier assistance inulin (prebiotic) converts mostly to butyrate instead of acetate or proprionate. So the L.reuteri yoghurt making benefits surely rely a lot on the generously added inulin as a distinctly L.-reuteri-independent treatment.

I'm going to buy potassium-BHB and eat that as high as my potassium requirements allow. I'll aim for 20g a day whereof it's 5g potassium.

Biosolids: mix human waste with toxic chemicals, then spread on crops

Mic check, one, two. One, two.

@yerrag The turbines kill so many birds and bats. They're making people sick and causing farm animals to die. They shed pfas from blades that spin at speeds of 100 mph, and people need to learn about the dangers of "infrasound." NO ONE should be within 3 miles of those things. People want to move but their property values plummet so they're sick, broke, and stuck.

I do respect your opinions and experience, but will need to table theorizing about the viability of his strategies. I would however still like to hear from others who have read his book and tried out his recommendations.

Good info here. Disclaimer: I have not used the products they mention. There are many options available, not only those discussed in the article.

@BioEclectic I definitely have sinus issues (my entire life) and had a CT scan on my sinuses (head) last week. Blood work, many doctor visits (likely futile) and possibly surgery are in my near future. It would be amazing if these easy hacks take care of the problem! I'm also going to ramp up the sodium acetate.

I would second the idea to only take antibiotics as needed. There are many antimicrobial options that don’t carry the risk of upsetting the balance of organisms or causing overgrowth in less desirable organisms like fungus/mold/bad bacteria like c diff.
