No, I have no true specials, I'm just willing to try something no one else is. I'm tired of seeing people give up because there might be some slight issue or because it might not work immediately or might be difficult. My plan would be to literally insert a new gene into this persons genome using a virus (likely AAV). As…
-
Getting back into the scene, looking at providing some new options, but will need to change some things and come back as a different later. Anyways, I can help with AAV as Grey mentioned. It's possible that with ~10,000 I can cure him/her. However it would be an entirely untested therapy and to make is more secure/longer…

@glims @chironex I see, that's really cool (both to the lactose and lab). Your lab @glims, you say it is a nonprofit, do you try to produce papers and apply for grants, or make products (including patents or novel pathways) or is this more of a 'fun' lab where you just research something interesting to you in a relatively…
-
Also @chironex how did the lactose edit go?
-
How did you guys @chironex and @glims get to use your lab so freely? Or is this something you guys put together with your own money? Human cell culture is notoriously difficult (not that bad in a professional lab) due to contamination especially when used to extract a viral load. Reading some recent papers it seems it…

Though I've not posted in some time, I'm also in Michigan near detroit, closer to Lansing right now though.

How did you achieve 100% effective infection? How did you measure this effectiveness? If you truly did this, then this is worthy of a great publication. I would love to hear what you did and what you're thinking of doing. Maybe I can help some. I am considering putting together a group where I am as I have quite a bit of…

@TylerEyth Admittedly I do not know for sure. CRISPR is still being researched, so it may be hard to compare. However the efficiency of the virus to enter your cells would be much higher than the pure DNA+chemical that you would likely use for CRISPR. I would avoid doing the whole body immediately. Start with small does on…
-
This seems well done. I'm glad to see more people modifying themselves. I do wonder about the potential increase in cancer rates (and really all diseases) that are caused by improper genome integration. Do you have any information on that and considerations of that? This seems to be the major complaint on what you've done,…
-
@TylerEyth You could try a virus. There are again issues with that especially with the immune system, but from what I remember it is generally more effective. Of course a virus comes with all the issues of working with a virus especially if it's particularly virulent. From what I can tell this method would introduce less…
-
By the way the open human plasmid does have ampicillin resistance, so I would think the CRISPR-cas9 one does too. Maybe email the odin (assuming this is where you're getting your stuff). Honestly I don't think you'd need to measure the concentration of bacteria in the broth/media. You're probably going for the most you can…

I came across a nice review on the topic while looking into this. Ed-NGF can improve visual acuity, counteract neurodegeneration, and reduce inflammation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29222770). Sections 5-9 are the important information. Sections 1-4 are really nice information on the working os the human eye. I…

CRISPR isn't great. I don't suggest using CRISPR, though unlike some of the other posters I do believe that this may be achievable. I would suggest using a virus. You would be wise to also look into ways to increase your cell competency. To give an example I was looking into changing the human myostatin gene, effectively…
-
Moving on, does anyone even know how he/she would have done this? How would the tail be controlled? Further, if we know how to do this, why has no one else done it? Even more, if we can do this, why not go full doc oc(even with simple control it would be quite the accomplishment)?
-
I would suggest the closest you can get to genetic engineering or biological engineering. You might have to do chemical engineering or something like that because a lot of colleges don't offer biological/genetic engineering yet. Now chemical engineering won't be really what you want, but with any of these degrees you can…
-
Something I am currently actively looking into (may become focus of my research this summer) is modifying our microbiome to work better for us. For example having e. coli produce vitamins such as vitamin c, d, etc., creatine, maybe resveratrol, astaxanthin, dopamine, and more. @Cassox , I would like to see that write up (I…
-
In a few months I may begin my own experimentation following in Dr.Zayners footsteps. I look forward to seeing his procedure and how to be able to replicate it appropriately. I will, if I can, expand from what he's doing and modify more. I really look forward to getting to start working on this and will report my outcomes…
-
@gyragrim20 I don't think starting with developing a human "inertial dampener" would be an appropriate way to approach this issue. I would suggest attempting to create the mechanical apparatus that you discuss first. It is highly unlikely that it would be so effective that you would even need to worry about any issues that…
-
I think it's a shame in a way, but probably necessary. We will need some form of regulation when distribution is involved. Personally I want that regulation to be very little and even want to make some of my own crazy stuff, but I think for the safety of everything we need something there. Anyways I highly doubt they could…
-
I'm in a similar boat as ya Larry. College dining halls really don't allow for the keto diet very well right now. You probably could purchase a big bag of nuts and maybe some cheese to supplement your cafeteria foods. In general I would suggest the keto diet for anyone not doing resistance exercise, anyone who wants to try…
-
I love the idea of rejuvenation/anti-aging/living forever. I really want to see it realized and be able to live for an exceptionally long time and complete all the things that I want to complete. Anyways I'd love to hear more about how this goes and the outcome. I would be willing to donate some plasma/blood (I'm in the…

I was thinking I might use old cell phone screens, since my family keeps our old phones. The phone screens should be high enough resolution.
-
Haha, fair points. I was thinking it might be a broken display, so have somewhere around nine screens.
-
@cathasach Good point. I will need to consider some cooling mechanism, maybe as @_Larry_ mentions and use water cooling, but that seems excessively difficult. I was thinking instead of a face shield go with full enclosure and no face shield, like you mentioned this presents the issue of component failure causing blindness.
-
@cassox I would like to know more about cerebrolysin and your experience with it. How'd you take it? Is there a way that doesn't involve injections?
-
So here's a little prioritization sheet I worked out, it is not exactly in order, and maybe you all have some suggestions on what might be more critical to design and functionality. Prioritization 1. Functionality a. Head protection a1. Padding/Inertia dampener a2. Sturdy/solid/bulletproof b. Control of phone through…
-
Might be I'll stick away from the cerebrolysin, thanks for all the responses though. I think for now I'll stick to trying to get "brain foods" and maybe some BCAA (I'm already trying to rest more and get in light exercise)
-
Hmm, Interesting. For a start I would surely stick to making things that have been made before and not synthesizing my own enzymes as I do not have nearly the expertise to do that. Maybe the way to start would be to find a pathway that uses very little checks and try to get some bacteria to produce that chemical. Once the…
-
O, huh. Interesting stuff. I suppose I'll look into that. Though it does look like you need to be careful and really chew that stuff, making sure you don't choke,
-
So you mentioned some roadblocks, what are the main significant ones? Also when it comes to finding something specific for them to produce, maybe we could make them initially produce Vitamin D. I think that might be of interest and would be rather useful.
