Even a single endotoxin/LPS exposure has long-lasting health effects
I am posting this study simply as an example of how profound the effect of endotoxin/LPS is on an organism's energy levels and behavior. A single exposure to supra-physiological (though non-toxic) LPS levels resulted in the animals increasing their night rest period for an hour or more for up to...- haidut

Lowering adrenaline as effective as opioids for severe/chronic pain
Most of my readers know about the raging opioid abuse epidemic in Western countries. What most people do not know is that the bulk of the epidemic is not in usage of illegal opioids such as fentanyl, but in legally prescribed opioids such as methadone, oxycontin, and even morphine.

Endotoxin (LPS) may directly cause cancerization of normal cells

Exercise causes (and worsens) arterial calcification

Both "long" COVID-19 and CFS are likely caused by hypometabolism

Many people may suffer from chronic serotonin syndrome

Ear wax testing as a reliable method for measuring long-term steroid levels
