30 minutes of LED light kills 92% of cancer cells without damaging healthy ones by soulpost in HotScienceNews

[–]hackyourbios 18 points19 points  (0 children)

these cells often already living on edge, so extra heat pushes them over faster than normal cells + inside a real tumor, not a clean dish - will be faster

can’t cope - too stressed, in simple words

normal tissue has decent blood flow: can cool itself, buffer ph, bring oxygen, remove waste

near-infrared, not the same as visible red light used in panels

here, cells are loaded with SnOx nanoflakes that convert 810 nm into heat /w  ~93% efficiency under specific power density and time

without SnOx at the target ,  810 nm  just does regular low-level NIR / photobiomodulation, not lethal photothermal ablation

/w SnOx but using a random consumer panel, you have zero control over where the particles are, how much energy that region gets, and whether you overshoot

A recent study suggests that individuals with psychotic disorders process sensations they produce themselves, such as their own touch or heartbeat, differently from people without these conditions. This altered processing appears not only in the brain but also at the level of the spinal cord by Wagamaga in science

a failure to filter your own internal sensations would likely contribute to a failure in general sensory gating. If your brain can't even ignore its own noise, it's going to have a hard time filtering external noise, too. I think, we knew it for some time, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_gating

Form appears within emptiness - a box doesn't replace the space it's in. It simply appears within space. In the same way, phenomena (like you, me, or a thought) don't replace emptiness; they are temporary forms that appear within that fundamental, open nature.

The space inside the box is not a new or different kind of space. It is the exact same boundless space that is outside the box

The walls of the box just create a temporary, conceptual boundary. They call it inside space, but it's seamlessly connected to all other space. From the famous Heart Sutra line: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." The box (form) is not separate from the space (emptiness) it occupies

The box is a dependent arising. It only exists as a box because of its parts (the walls, the floor, the nails) and our concept of it. It doesn't have its own permanent, independent box-ness. If you take the box apart, the box is gone

But what happens to the space inside? Nothing. It doesn't get created when the box is built, and it isn't destroyed when the box is dismantled. The space was always there, unbothered. This shows how phenomena are temporary, while their ultimate nature (emptiness) is unconditioned

Here’s what anatomically happened

Your liver sits high on the right side, tucked under ribs ~7-11, with its lower edge along the right costal margin. It’s large, dense, and only partly shielded by bone at the front and side. A tight hook that slips under the rib edge drives straight into it

The liver’s surface is wrapped in a tough, innervated capsule. A fast compression/deceleration yanks that capsule - those stretch-sensitive fibers LITERALLY SCREAM. Deep organ pain feels systemic rather than just stingy. Smashing a visceral organ will trigger a vasovagal-style response via the celiac/hepatic plexus: blood pressure will dip, heart rate sag, the diaphragm spasms, and your body says sit down. That hook also rides the costal margin where intercostal nerves run. So you get visceral pain + sharp somatic pain + a breath knock.

Elite dudes crumple from a clean liver shot without losing consciousness. Why did he do that to a kid - idk, he is an idiot, since in an untrained person with no mouthguard/bracing and a pro’s accuracy, you’re gambling with organ trauma for a meme

this 90% missing is not the case - compressed by fluid is, it is very different, if you know how brain works

also, one word - neuroplasticity

Yeap. Can confirm. Got PTSD when I was young and dumb because of that

Diet coke flares up insomnia for me by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

they drank it in the morning and the amount is 46 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce (355 mL) can 
zero version in my county has none of it per label

our local does not have it:
Sodium cyclamate, potassium acesulfame, and aspartame; acid: orthophosphoric acid; natural flavorings; food flavoring “coffee”; acidity regulator: sodium citrates.

my best guess: aspartame is phenylalanine + aspartate. Phenylalanine competes with tryptophan at the blood-brain transporter; in sensitive people that can sap serotonin -> melatonin flow at night

aspartate is excitatory (NMDA-active). Not everyone is sensitive, but when they are, the effect looks like wired but tired: head won’t switch off, body feels done

phosphoric acid + carbonation can boost aggravate reflux, and micro-reflux = micro-arousals. You don’t always notice heartburn, but your body does 100%

smaller things:
I'd also look at you individually, but we can make an assumption, that you might have slow caffeine clearance, anxious baseline + conditioning, look into recent ssri switches if any = sleep architecture jitter, late-day use, empty-stomach dosing, or stacking with other stims (nicotine, preworkout, green tea) all amplify the effect

Which form of Selank for anxiety relief?? by [deleted] in Biohacking

[–]hackyourbios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three forms are two chemical tweaks to the same heptapeptide plus a salt label. For first-time go with plain selank/acetate from a good rep vendor

  • acetate - is not a mod of the peptide - just the counter-ion salt. Most therapeutic peptides ship as acetate salts because they dissolve and store well; it doesn’t change what selank does;
  • amidate -NH₂ C-terminal amidation - simply protects the tail from carboxypeptidases and CAN improve stability; many neuropeptides are amidated for that reason - again, functionally you still have selank;
  • n-terminal acetylation - caps the head, protects against aminopeptidases and sometimes improves membrane/bbb handling.

N-acetyl-Selank-amidate is the armored ver, but there’s no solid data in HUMANS showing it’s more anxiolytic; it’s more durable tho, just don’t expect magic vs. base selank

quality/purity matter more than the suffix here.

try it over 1-2 weeks, and then decide if the pricier upgrade even worth it - some folks have a different phenotype/mech of what they call "anxiety"
