wait until they learn about carbon with only one oxygen atom
The world will try to spike your cortisol to make you less beautiful, become dull, and age rapidly—but I’m not playing their game. So, I got a device that’s basically Xanax and Botox on steroids. Ever wonder why mountain people live longer, stay lean, are more attractive energetic, and don’t get sick? It’s COā‚‚. COā‚‚ inhalation has been proven to: 🫧 Shut down stress and anxiety-it has been like Xanax on steroids in my experience 🫧 Supercharge mitochondrial function- so every cell in your body runs better 🫧 Ignite your metabolism: burning fuel instead of storing it 🫧 Boost endurance like an elite athlete because oxygen efficiency = performance 🫧 Deepen sleep and relaxation -because stress wrecks your hormones and makes you dull and ugly 🫧 Maximise oxygen utilisation—helping you think, move, and feel sharper 🫧 Keep you young, sharp, and radiant—by lowering cortisol and inflammation šŸ˜ŠšŸ’™ Ray Peat talked about how COā‚‚ is the forgotten key to energy, youth, and resilience. It’s what keeps your metabolism running at full speed, your cells producing energy efficiently, and your stress hormones in check. CORTISOL STOOD NO CHANCE!!! COā‚‚ is anti-ageing, anti-stress, and essential for energy production-but Big Pharma doesn’t profit from telling you to breathe better. This is the best BIOHACKING device and it’s not even close. Highly recommended šŸ«§šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™

well, at least crippling academic medical centers on the precipice of another pandemic means we can use the defunct lab spaces for surge ICUs

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as ā€œindirect costs.ā€ Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60% that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

And on the pedestal, these words appear: my name is Ozymandias, king of kings; look on my works, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.

we’ve tried replacing circulating blood volume with albumin in critically ill patients for decades and it’s worked great
Completed my first total plasma exchange (TPE). Removing all the plasma in my body and replacing with Albumin. This is different from what I did last year: removing 1 L of plasma from my body and then replacing it with 1 L of plasma from my blood boy @talmagejohnson_ . I gave my one liter of plasma to my father. This time around there's no blood boy involved. TPE removes all of my body’s plasma and replaces it with Albumin. The therapy objectives are to remove toxins from my body. The evidence is emergent. Others use TPE for autoimmune disorders, blood disorders, neurological conditions, transplant-related complications, and replacement of missing plasma components. As we normally do, we completed a bunch of baseline measurements before this therapy including toxins but other things too such as speed of aging, organ ages, microplastics and many other biomarkers. I'll do six total treatments. The operator, who’s been doing TPE for 9 years, said my plasma is the cleanest he’s ever seen. By far. He couldn’t get over it. When we finished, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it away. He was imagining all the good that it could do in the world. On people’s face as PRP therapy. In their body, rejuvenating organs. There is probably a path to auction off or donate my plasma on this next go around. Liquid gold. Remember that when my father received 1 L of my plasma his speed of aging dropped by 25 years and stayed that way for six months. We don’t know if it was from my super plasma or if it was from removing his plasma, but the results are interesting nonetheless. The whole procedure took just under 2 hours.
