I think papaya seeds work; I think I remember coming across that fact a few times when reading about fruit, but let me check.
Interesting, they say papaya seeds 10 times in the article, it's even in the title but somehow none of their methods and recipes use the seeds. Maybe discarding the seeds has a similar effect in the body of pregnant women thanks to mimicry? I need an other trench coat with a one more inside pocket for unripe green papayas.
I think if you were get a French press, you would agree that the character of infusions changes depending on the particle size of the substrate—be it coffee, tea, yerba mate, cinnamon bark, juniper berries, madarin peels, horsetail, lotus stamens, or pau d'arco. The biggest change is perhaps the fine particulates which can diffuse through the screen, raised up through convection currents in a sort‐of Brownian motion. Particle size also increases the surface area and hence increases the strength per gram substrate. For these two reasons—and perhaps a few more gone unmentioned—using courser substrates generally produces infusions having more refined organoleptic properties at standard temperature (~201°F) and pressure (~101367‧Pa).
Pau d'arco is one of the best anti‐cancer plants; I think you'd think you'd be amazed at how many lapachol and β-lapachone studies have published between 1970–1980.
No, because up until recently I didn't know of anywhere to find isolated lapachol/β-lapachone, so I didn't see it as a practical thing to do. I think the bark is safe; the Brazilians drink pau d'arco all the time—as they drink yerba mate—so it's not too unusual, really.
Yes. I made myself aware of that after reading your comments. However it's my understanding that it actually contains β-lapachone, which is an even stronger glyoxylase I inhibitor found in pau d'arco.
You gotta read about the acetylcholine system, which nicotine powerfully upregulates. Even with transdermal or i.v. administration, nicotine consistently enhances reaction time and word recall; drugs which inhibit acetylcholine acetyltransferase or block the receptors (i.e. mecamylamine) do the opposite. Drugs which act on the acetylcholine system highlight its fundamental importance, showing consistent trends measured through objective parameters. Serotonin, opiates, and dopamine can affect emotions somewhat subjectively with great interpersonal variation—and yet! acetylcholine works in one way on everybody, all of the time. I think its fair to say that it enhances nervous transmission, and has been shown to even upregulate acetylcholine receptors in the forebrain. It's protective effects against Parkinson's are so consistent and have become so well‐known that statisticians routinely adjust data to account for coffee drinking and cigarette smoking—seriously; I have seen this done in multiple studies.
Mm interesting, so when speed and coordination of the body (or parts of it) are needed, it sounds like it could help. Are you aware of any dependency or tolerance with prolonged daily use?
What a coincidence, I was just considering a Bo[tulinum]tox[in] injection in the buttocks:
Good thing it's a massive 149‧kDa protein or you'd have to worry about diffusion from the injection site. Image getting that into your brain?
I just came across this pic yesterday and thought it was cool. I has everything you could ask for: a monkey, a turtle, and it's drawn in funky '50s cartoon greyscale.
