  • I guess actually I could go at it (weight loss currently) from other angles.. like feeding my existing gut bacteria a bit better. Just found some articles on resistant starch and butyrate and stuff... really interesting.
  • It'd be interesting if someone had some kind of a device that could sit there like a switching station kind of and switch bits of nerves coming from the brain from connecting to whatever they're normally connected to and back, while you're testing different sensory replacement devices. Maybe something that could generate…
  • I would worry about reflexive stuff - particularly sensations like balance and breathing. You wouldn't want to wake up in your neat new robot body and feel like you are drowning all the time, or totally lose your sense of up and down (having control over it might be interesting; learning to orient entirely visually could…
  • Elysium makes a pill with both but its like $50ish when you can get them separately for a little cheaper online
  • I tried nadh+ and trans-pterostilbene together as a supplement for a little while. Subjectively it gave me kind of a 'fresh' or 'clean' feeling and I felt a little more energetic... I didn't really take it long enough to be sure of any kind of a difference though, it is sort of expensive. It gave me a positive impression…
  • I wonder if all this stuff wouldn't just result in acromegalic short people :/
  • So, I emailed Brian Hanley at Butterfly Sciences (the guy who famously did an anti-senescence / mitochondrial energy production related gene hack on himself that may have raised his HGRH levels) just to see whether he'd recommend any resources for DIY gene therapy self-education, and his opinions seemed to be, basically,…
  • Mostly cause I get irritated by the text box thing too XD I spend like five hours a day commuting by bus because I live stupidly far from my job and using up my mobile data on low-bandwidth stuff like forums is like a sizeable chunk of my day...
  • I work as a full stack web dev with a little bit of qa background for my day job. I don't have much in the way of spare bandwidth right now but in the future I might be able to help out sometime if more hands or eyes would in any way help:) It sounds like its more a coordination issue than an 'enough people' issue but I…
  • re surgery - I am lined up for it. I just gotta get to where I qualify. Weight loss is a big blocker for me to qualify but I am working on it. I'm tall so my weight is not as much as it sounds and mostly healthy but I still carry a lot of weight - my bloodwork is great, I am starting to keep up in muay thai, so physically…
  • I did manage to get myself added to a 'database' of possible subjects for clonal tissue research, for grafting in clonal tissue, at some but I don't know if that was real or the person calling me when I inquired about their research was shining me on. It was years ago and I've heard nothing since, so.
  • Yeah. Well and a lot of these genes seem closely tied to tumorigenesis. AND my knowledge of chemistry still hasn't advanced past 101 from college way back so.. I would at least need to learn a LOT more than I know to experiment. Plus I've got a surgeon already lined up. I just worry about messing up and having a better…
  • I think it'd be neat to get three of them, and use them as part of a radiation symbol...
  • Thanks!
  • Is there an English version of their nutritional information?
  • Thanks! It looks a lot better now :)
  • @Zwytechhacker: I don't really understand the chemistry here yet (still trying to pick up the basics atm) but I just wanted to point out in case it is helpful that on some browsers at least (in my case, firefox on ubuntu) the images you're posting appear to be freakin' enormous to the point of hard-to-read :/
  • The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson:)
  • So I tried to think about genetic engineering stuff with both my 'crazy' and 'pragmatic' hats on at the same time yesterday, and came to the conclusion that I should start small. That would give me time to get up to speed both on good science and journaling and stuff, and on chemistry and biochem stuff, get good at…
  • http://www.origene.com/CRISPR-CAS9/Product.aspx?SKU=KN216313 seems intriguing and so does http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000292970900113X and some of the comments https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/28uc9f/science_question_dmrt1_and_foxl2_figured_id_ask/
  • I very much look forward to it:)
  • I saw anti-agingfirewalls.com a long time ago but I didn't see the one about buckyballs. Interesting, I'd like to find out more about how it is supposed to work.
  • ...wait. SOAP? Why not REST? Rest seems way more straightforward to me... https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/a-beginners-guide-to-http-and-rest--net-16340
  • Well, one big cause of alzheimer's is the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques, which are formed when waste proteins aren't succesfully eliminated by the glymphatic system. Sleep quality declines with age, inability to sleep causes accumulation of beta amyloid protein, beta amyloid protein cross-linking causes beta amyloid…

  • I think that might have been it- maybe one of the times I had spiro and no estradiol. Also made my hair come in a bit gray :/.
  • For sure. I mean im also curious re using computers to augment human intelligence. If i had any bandwidth right now id love to work on modifying zim / making plugins to get it to work better w anki and w google apis for help with remembering things i read, but i am still struggling w tkinter a little...ive tried a few…
  • There's a lion's mane coffee I've been trying lately that seems to be pretty good for anxiety, so far.
  • Its not a mechanism I imagine most people would want to try, but - I'm trans, and when I first started hrt, I had a lot of trouble getting a steady supply. I'd routinely screw up the process of getting my scrip refilled and end up having one or another thing - spiro (testosterone blocker), estradiol, progesterone,…
