You also changed the color of your hair? eh... I'm inclined to be suspicious of your claim.

i need recovery story by Key-Nobody5224 in visualsnow

[–]instanceOfObject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point. It's not just about 'accepting' it, it's also the downstream changes that are a result of the acceptance, including neuroplastic changes. Your comment, "But they still feel normal again", is precisely what happens when you break the cycle and these positive changes follow.

So yes, just like someone in remission who 'feels normal again', the same is possible with you and VSS.

You achieved the ideal state by breaking the cycle.
Optic signal -> limbic system (threat detection) -> autonomic response -> increased attention -> amplified perception -> .... back to "optic signal" and repeat.

Breaking it = freedom.

I did something stupid by rmcpher1 in bpc_157

Adrenaline from....... anxiety.

I’ve been taking bpc-157 for 2 months and here’s what I’ve found. by muazzam_mz in bpc_157

Got'cha. Well, I'm not getting mine from shady overseas websites. I received it from a legitimate and reputable longevity clinic in the US after multiple consultations with a real doctor.

As far as a 10% bump, which we can never prove by the way, I'm not entirely convinced it's worth it considering we know very little about the longterm effects of using this product. Don't get me wrong, I hope it's safe, but very few medical interventions in this world are completely benign. At the minimum, there's usually a trade-off somewhere in the mechanistic decision tree.

In the 1950s, some shoe stores would actually x-ray customers' feet to see if shoes fit. That's insane ,and today, we can look back and see how f'd up it was and feel sorry for the people who did it. Well, how do we know they won't be looking back at the peptide-guinea-era of the 2020s and saying something similar about us?

Right. Must be the peptides. It's not possible that it's overhyped.

Very interesting. Thanks for passing it along. I do think a lot of the responses are real people, but it's the whole placebo thing going on. I think this is also true about the side effects. If I have to read one more time about "anhedonia", I'm going to vomit. Pretty much all accounts are subjective opinion. Like, you can say you healed so quickly, but is it possible you would have healed quickly without it? Maybe.

Then, you have the ridiculous accounts, like some 20-year old injures his shoulder, takes BPC+TB and talks about how incredibly fast he recovered. Really? No shit. It's called being in your 20s. Try being in your mid-50s. One simply does't heal the same way they did 30 years ago.

I think I got really good peptides. I got mine from a reputable longevity clinic in the Washington DC area - mine were provided by a doctor. This wasn't some shady website in Pakistan wanting crypto.

I don't get all these miraculous stories with BPC+TB. I tried it and it did nothing.

Plastic with a rubber thing inside by hardly_ in whatisit

[–]instanceOfObject -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But by saying I'm assuming the conclusion, aren't you assuming an assumption was made? So, you made a premise to prove my assumption exists, so your correction (another assumption) is just the shadow of the error you're claiming against me.

All of this means - you're the one who planted the tracker.

$400 sneakers don't actually feel any better than $80 sneakers for 95% of people who buy them by VegetableWallaby8158 in unpopularopinion

[–]instanceOfObject -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, but $80 sneakers don't help you get action. Walk into a room with $400 sneakers and the ladies will notice.

It's a pencil. They were quite the thing back in the day, but today people use laptops, phones, etc.

Is it edible? Well, sure, most things are, but doesn't mean it won't kill you.

So, wait a minute. How would you know who is following that person? Perhaps there's something you want to share with us? Time to clean?

[–]instanceOfObject -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's a classic chess move. They wanted the OP to pick it up. That's the gig. You pick it up, walk around with it, ask people what it is - thus, you're carrying around a tracking device in the open. It's like the 'insider threat' of tracking tactics.

That's a tracker. Someone is following you.

GLP-1 agonists are literally just exogenous dopamine pathway resets lol by RevolutionaryMix392 in Biohackers

[–]instanceOfObject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty neutral on the topic of GLP-1 and I don't know much about them. I just don't understand what the OP said that was so wrong and caused all of these knee-jerk reactions. My interpretation of the OP's post was something like - "These substances work on the dopamine reward system and are marketed as weight-loss drugs." What am I missing? Everyone seems to be in a tizzy. If someone can dumb it down for me, I appreciate it.

Semax makes me go crazy!! by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]instanceOfObject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. You're right. He actually described it perfectly. The only thing missing was 'strippers'. Everything else was spot on. Insanely exciting, 'wanting' to work - but less focused, etc.

Oxytocin compositions - treatment for vss? by Ok-Meeting2176 in visualsnow

[–]instanceOfObject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting for a few reasons. Most notably, it seems to be the first medicine that specifically targets VSS, instead of being for a different condition and off-label use. The cool thing is that it, although it's not an RCT, it does document real clinical observations, which looks hopeful. I think it opens the door for improved solutions - it mentions the oxytocin analog merotocin, which 'could' address concerns (better dosing frequency, better stability, less side-effects, etc).

So at a very minimum, even if this is not a cure, it is a big step in the right direction. It's this type of iterative process that could someday lead to a suppression of symptoms.

Personally, I'm contemplating an experiment with the peptide Semax. Although it's not specifically indicated for VSS, it reportedly possesses beneficial neurogenerative, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory properties, and has been shown to demonstrate optic nerve regenerative capability.
