I take capsules, 2x/day. I take sulphoraphane 140 mg/day.
Jarrow and Thorne Research are reliable brands. But, Thorne Research tends to be way overpriced in my opinion. As you know, you never ever buy supplements off of Amazon or places that are not well heard of.
I get the co-ultramicronized palmitoylethalinomide + Luteolin from http://epitech.it, but you have to use a package forwarding service to mail to US (they don’t ship to US, even though it is Italy based and 100% legal)
As I said, I am not interested at all in nootropics or peptides. It is basically all antioxidants/natural neuroregenerative compound/omega fatty acids.
I have more than a few neurological issues. I have 3 medication induced movement disorders. I also have 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system.
Anyways, the stuff I take is to ensure adequate nutrients for my brain. But the primary goal is for neuroregeneration over the long term.
5. methylated b vitamins (~50% of the population has a MTHFR variant that generally requires you to need methylated B vitamins, versus regular B vitamins)
6. high doses of gamma linolenic acid (I use evening primrose oil and Jarrow brand is trusted)
Collecting potassium iodine is not going to save Americans, that’s for sure. The amount of preparation for the American people to survive would be next to extraordinary. Most people these days do not have what it takes, and certainly our government does not, either.
The thing is that even if the missile defense system works 100% successfully for a nuke approaching the United States, the electromagnetic pulse above is enough to disable all electronic devices in the US. Like the trajectory of the plume covers the vast majority of the US, no matter what direction the nuke comes from.
Yeah, your writing sounds eastern European, if you know what I mean (no offense).
You’re right about the American hospital, generally and for now. They have better resources, equipment, and are cleaner, among many other things. You have more rights in an American hospital (no bribe expected).
But, a country like the United States could learn from a country like Croatia and make the best out of its resources. The US could spend the same on healthcare without taking away resources from the general American populace (minus oligarchs) and allow people to be so much more healthier.
Thanks captain obvious, what you stated are public health issues. Also, money isn’t everything and unfortunately a lot of Americans use that as justification to keep playing a game that is going to kill them and/or their family member. Way too much is spent on administration of health care plans and nobody is getting good value for their money. We spend the most, and we get the worst outcomes overall of any developed country. Even things we used to excel at we are doing very poorly due to staffing, regulation, and other issues.
Honestly, the quality of care is not OK at all in the US. Just check out r/medicine and r/nursing. We are in for a whole lot of really terrible stuff.
Seriously, if someone in your immediate family gets sick and needs to be hospitalized, stay with them 24/7, even if it means sleeping on the floor. Nurses say they will do the same thing for their family members.
Anyways, I ended up spending 9 weeks in the hospital this summer. It started at a trauma hospital, where I stayed for 18 days. The first 90 hours (3.5 days) they did not even give me any long acting insulin, even though my body does not produce any insulin and I can not metabolize without long acting basal insulin. (I was never on an insulin drip either, and I was never on a high dependency unit where the insulin drip could occur.) My family had to beg and plead with them to give me basic diabetes care, including the long-acting insulin. (I was too, the whole entire time.)
The first week my blood sugars averaged overall around 400 mg/dL (22 mmol/L), and chief trauma resident and trauma fellow were explaining to trauma residents outside of my room when someone with type 1 diabetes is at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Such a basic matter.
Anyways the rest of the story is for another time.
The third leading cause of death in the United States is believed to be preventable medical errors.
Anyways, I have never been pregnant, but if you saw what happened to me medically this summer, you would be doing everything you could to be leaving the US. Anyways, I am a dual citizen. My other nationality is Croatian, but I don’t plan on living there.
Even Croatia, you know which went through a horrific war 30 years ago, has a better life expectancy than the US now. But even before the pandemic, they were very close to convergence with the US life expectancy. And Croatia only spends $1,100 on healthcare per citizen per year!!!
The above poster is just suggesting that Bill Gates not be a hypocrite with respect to consuming less.
He consumes way way way more than the average citizen.
I don’t even know why people listen to him.
Shouldn’t we be listening to actual climate scientists in the US government? And not some software CEO who has conflicts of interest? Why are we even platforming this dude and giving him any legitimacy?
Anyways, Gates is always preaching about “policy” (The Gates Foundation is about power and getting governments to fund their objectives, ultimately) but never actually sets a good individual example of how to live, like normal citizens.
I mean, it is not coincidental that he is preaching about global warming right after the Nord Stream pipeline was blown, which released an unprecedented amount of methane in to the atmosphere.
Perhaps Zuckerberg should be paid significantly less? Perhaps Facebook employees should fight back? Like protest or leak controversial information, especially since Facebook is in the data hoarding business?
But, stuff like this should make Facebook employees angry. Zuckerberg is not a person to envy.

This is nice because I also never have a need to go to websites that serve ads to me. Of course it's called uBlock Origin and using ProtonVPN with Anti-tracking + Ad-blocking features plus such as a Pi-Hole...but still...I have it good.
You can crush the tablets with a mortar and pestle, which you can buy online. A mortar and pestle is very cheap and is basic lab equipment. Alternatively you can use a pill crusher which is available in pharmacies.
You can buy empty capsules (gelatin/vegan/flavored/etc.) online or at a local vitamin/supplement store. They are in standardized sizes like 0 or 00 or something similar.
You can fill the capsules with the crushed tablet material using something called a “pill machine” (search for it online). The pill machine that you buy needs to match the size of your capsules. So if you buy 0 sized capsules, you need to buy a capsule machine that uses size 0 capsules.
The issue is that the Dyson device aerosolizes exhaled breath, including virus particles, immediately, and at much higher pressure than HVAC.
As for the inflatable costumes incident there was contact tracing in effect in California when this happened. This was in a Californian hospital and no other incident like this happened before. This was due to the aerosolizing of the costume wearer’s COVID-19 infected breath.
It is not a stretch. This is why many hospitals require staff to wear an N95 (a hard shell mask—not a surgical mask—in order to prevent as little leakage as possible) underneath a PAPR. PAPRs (with the exception of the CleanSpace Halo if using a special adapter) do not have source control. (I personally use an Optrel e9000x PAPR with an N95 underneath for source control. If not able to use a PAPR such as on an airplane, I wear a valve-free P100 mask [MSA Advantage 900] over an authentic KF94 mask [see: https://behealthyusa.net/ for KF94]. Yes, I am immunocompromised...)
This Dyson device does not have source control, and yes, it is a super-spreader device.
There is proof that such devices are super spreading tools: hospital administrators wore a blow up costume in to a Kaiser Hospital ER and caused a huge COVID-19 outbreak.
This was when contact tracing was in effect in California.
> I'm glad these tools exist and do help people, though I do think the potential risks are downplayed in our society.
I have been dealing with severe akathisia from medications I took for severe depression.
I have 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system plus type 1 diabetes. None of this is even remotely as bad as the akathisia.
There are people who are cancer survivors, combat veterans, rape survivors, who all say that akathisia by far takes the cake in terms of traumatic experiences.
Please if you are going to be taking psych meds of any type, get genetic testing done:
