“Psilocybin, the psychedelic component of magic mushrooms, has previously been touted as an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD — but now researchers say it has the potential to be used in Alzheimer’s intervention as well. In this case study, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, researchers focused on an 80-year-old Japanese American woman with Alzheimer’s. She had declined over the previous decade and was reduced to urinary incontinence, speaking in single syllables, and dependence on caregivers for mobility support and daily living. She was then given a 5g dose of magic mushrooms. During the initial phase, she was agitated, sweated profusely and entered a prolonged sleep state that suggested unconsciousness. But around hour 19, she began speaking in full autobiographical sentences, recalling life events she had been unable to articulate for years. In the days and weeks that followed, more incredible changes emerged. She regained urinary continence, even in the evenings, and began dressing herself. She was able to make and maintain eye contact, remember social interactions, emotionally respond to others, and hold lucid conversations.”

Baking soda removes up to 96% of pesticide residue from produce Researchers tested 3 washing methods on apples: tap water, bleach and a baking soda soak. Baking soda won: - 96% of phosmet removed - 80% of thiabendazole removed - Surface residue completely cleared The recipe: 1 tsp baking soda per 2 cups water. Soak 12-15 min. Rinse well. But up to 20% of one pesticide had already absorbed beneath the peel. No wash removes what's inside.

You have to be a genuine retard to open socials and your email first thing in the morning. You are wasting an extremely small and valuable window you get every day to learn something new and hard. Do that for a decade, and you're cooked. Every single day, me, you and everyone else has a limited neuroplasticity and dopamine "budget". We have a finite daily reserve of metabolic energy, neuromodulators (epinephrine, acetylcholine, dopamine, BDNF), and cellular resources available to deploy for meaningful rewiring. Once that budget is spent, it’s gone until the next day after rest and recovery. Passive consumption of online content (aka doomscrolling) actively burns through that budget while delivering almost zero constructive plasticity. You are quite literally spending your brain’s daily capacity for growth on junk data and wasting the natural peak of dopamine instead of investing it into doing something hard.

I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… 34% reduced all-cause mortality 27% reduced major heart disease 34% reduced stroke 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

I feel like it's not talked about enough that the WHO literally admits that disrupted circadian rhythms cause cancer. Several studies showed 2-3X risk of cancers in people who work the night shift. While not all studies showed the association, there is more than enough reason biologically to believe that this is one of the worst things you can do for your health. To understand why - we must understand the circadian rhythm. Your body regulates EVERYTHING on based on the time of day. Things are mainly orchestrated by a series of clock proteins - these regulate the expression of various genes throughout the body. These genes end up regulating everything: hormones, metabolism, digestion, everything. Estimates from 10-50% of all genes are under circadian regulation. It cannot be understated how important that is. If this process of gene regulation via circadian clock proteins is thrown off, nearly every process in every tissue will also be thrown off. And that can leave you susceptible to disease - including cancer. For example, simply not turning off the lights results in a 2-3X cancer incidence in animal studies. Out of 50 constantly lit (LL) animals: 7/50 got lung cancer 6/50 got leukemia 4/50 got liver cancer compared to 1/50, 0/50 and 0/50 in the control group. Think about that. Literally just changing how long the lights are on caused cancer. But how does this happen? Well, one key is anti-tumor immunity. This study showed that disrupting the normal light / dark cycles of animals sharply dropped the production of key molecules: ➠ Perforin ➠ Granzyme B ➠ IFNγ All of which are important for our natural killer cells to wipe out cancer cells. Looking deeper, we can see those clock proteins playing a huge role. Simply removing the circadian genes we talked about earlier is enough to completely alter the metabolism throughout the body. Here, it induced liver cancer, and it also fattened up the liver. That's a key here - it's not just carcinogenic to throw of your circadian rhythm. It messes ALL of your health up. So, what can you do besides not working the night shift? 1. Have consistent sleep and wake times. Your body needs to know what time it is. Help it out. 2. Get sunlight exposure throughout the day, especially in the morning. This signals via your brain to coordinate the clocks throughout the body. 3. Keep other routines consistent as well (eating, exercising, etc.). These also help align the rhythm. 4. Blue block at night. Keep screens to a minimum and wear glasses if you need. If you're shining light in your face at night your body does not know that it's actually nighttime. If you have no choice but to engage in night shift work, then it makes things a lot tougher. But the number one thing to do would probably be to get a bright light device and expose your eyes to it whenever you do wake up. Then, try to keep things dark when it's otherwise light. You do not want constant light or constant dark. Find a way to cycle through them. You can also use supplemental melatonin to help tell your body that it's nighttime.

The beetroot has reinvented itself as a performance-enhancing detox elixir, sold as shots and powders to athletes and the anxious alike, on the strength of a nitrate story that is oversold and a detox story that is pure invention. Start with the benefit, since it is the whole pitch. Dietary nitrate gives a small, real nudge to blood flow and endurance, on the order of one or two per cent, and mostly in untrained bodies. In the trained athletes actually buying the shots, the effect largely vanishes, which is the finding the marketing leaves out. You pay premium prices for a boost that fades as you get fitter. The detox is worse, because it is nothing at all. Beetroot does not purge toxins, because you are not full of toxins. Your liver and kidneys do that for free, and did so long before beets were fashionable. Now the bill. Beetroot, and especially the greens, run high in oxalates, the calcium-binding compounds that build kidney stones, so the daily juicer is stacking stone-forming material for a cleanse that never happens. The juice itself is mostly sugar with the fibre spun out and binned, a glass of fast carbohydrate dressed as medicine. And the fructans ferment in your gut, turning the endurance shot into a mid-race toilet emergency. So take the small nitrate nudge if you are a beginner, and bin the rest. The detox is fiction. The wee is harmless. The only thing being purified is your wallet.
