Do you ever try to unlock your chi by activating TRPV1 to help blood vessels expand?https://t.co/xYSgbB3Itx

I stopped an anxiety spell by taking tincture of cayenne and then getting in warm shower. I stopped sweating as a result.Recognized I was turning on my TRPV1 receptors as a result of an immune shift targeting liver enzymes and anandamide production.:3https://t.co/RKFKfbV4EC

Why would relaxing smooth muscle tissues, and then hanging upside down to increase blood pressure, aid in creative brain work? https://t.co/e2aqz721GG https://t.co/dIY3UJdHuc


Ah yes. The sphincter of the eye."In a cross section of the iris, the sphincter pupillae can be seen as an annular band of smooth muscle (100–170 µm thick; 0.7–1.0 mm wide) encircling the pupil (figure 7)." https://t.co/FD6IAIxzcdhttps://t.co/t6oLYuZ55V https://t.co/tbzoaTC6LR

@QunolOfficial No, but my model of human hibernation made predictions that adolescence would have poor bone development. Ended up being found on fossil records of early humans. It turns out this is a process driven by kidneys & vitamin D. Related:https://t.co/wTxpnMIWEGhttps://t.co/6znEkhM9QX

One of the more interesting themes in the show was how often a wise character understood there was wisdom in some of these methods, but was doing it wrong.Surrounded by Yes-Men, Varrick needed an outsider perspective to tell him. https://t.co/SEilKo28On


Sometimes you need outside context to see into the meaning behind a thing.For example, this funny looking tiger striped war ship was based on a real idea "Dazzle Camouflage"https://t.co/0ECZ9NVmrD https://t.co/629hFfseOL


"The Guide" story arc is fun here. It showcases how one's ego and knowledge can hide the truth. Tenzin has been researching this stuff all his life, but it was his child who actually managed to act as a guide.Should have ate some onion banana juice TBH.https://t.co/hrT8pI22VU https://t.co/q1S1YGf4zy


These notions are brought up again in 3rd season.That whole mediate->levitate thing Varrick was trying to do was actually achieved by Zaheer. Even the expert didn't think it was real.Shame they didn't incorporate any of the fraudulant flying techniques https://t.co/GYah9nhC5f https://t.co/uewvzsOU59


Bolin unlocked his lavabending while staring death in the face.Zaheer had literally just watched his love die and lost everything he was attached to.Deep wisdom, this. https://t.co/b8bgabQXjB


>'pataphysics as an idea that "the virtual or imaginary nature of things as glimpsed by the heightened vision of poetry or science or love can be seized and lived as real"https://t.co/ZiKNAUbINw https://t.co/oqy4w60SPN


The whole 4th season is a giant parable about trauma, unity, and forgiveness. Literal and metaphorical.They use aspects of WWII across cultures as the backdrop, but in the context of family bonds. Its really fascinating.Even ends in a wedding! (two, if you squint)

I am still hoping to decode some of the things I see. They go out o the way to make them screenshot-able.There is a lot of fun lore about Pai Sho that spreads over all of Avatar https://t.co/OEAjQHsG9D https://t.co/nzLWEPuHPF


I also see fascinating symbols everywhere.(Took me 10 minutes to get the writing in that book🤭) https://t.co/kWW38fLA0N


I think its fascinating that the poison they use to force the Avatar state is a sort of mercury lingam.https://t.co/MtB8LR1WR0The title of this episode is "Venom of the Red Lotus". I wonder if the flowers represent the ones used as part of "Shiva Puja" https://t.co/z9brM5t18h https://t.co/f4lK3kXjRW


The air temple island is also quite strikingI think that is a Yin Yang and a Ba gua on the ground.Its fascinating that air bending styles may be loosely modeled after Baguazhang - "Circle walking" https://t.co/YXIVZQdwg1I don't recognize the other styles. https://t.co/vsQmov8yA4


This covers most of them fairly well.It looks like the other style I saw may have been 'Xing Yi Quan' https://t.co/WBcgjrRCG3

I binge Korra, sleeping halfway thru. So in total it took about 29 hours. I didn't eat much except peanuts. Got a massive headache, fatigue. Couldn't hardly think/talk. GF pointed out my eyes were bloodshot. Blood pressure was quite high.You'll never guess how I fixed it :) https://t.co/KL3EDIXhGj

Aren't there entire religions that see cannabis as a sacred plant with healing properties? https://t.co/VwmubzP4fXAre they natural blood benders?https://t.co/VBu96kRBnA

Protip: if you downregulate TRPM8 receptors you can avoid feeling thirsty. It also might be one of the ways to prevent damage from stroke and heat disease. https://t.co/2Of8H0C0TlLikely why my body temperature drops so low. It seems functionally tied to anxiety via serotonin.

It's really interesting that mice without TRPM8 seem to have improved insulin clearance.https://t.co/v5M21uxIDxand that TRPV1 makes my GF's blood pressure drop. Gonna see if it makes her not sweat.https://t.co/Ec7G3prPooWhy does diabetes occasionally exhibit intense thirst?

"it is alarming to note the lack of information regarding diabetes and heat stress [...] few studies have examined the effects of cold exposure on individuals with diabetes with the exception of its therapeutic potential" https://t.co/1q6HPm8zgghttps://t.co/CJgqdtWA2I

I learned in highschool that walking in the cold to the bus stop, then sitting in front of the heater would wake me up and get me to stop feeling off. I replicated it with snow and a hot shower.Of course we use it to torture autistic kids.https://t.co/dLQVR6wKrL

"wholly impossible to predict the net effect of hypothermia. [...] slow down inflammation, but it will also slow down anti-inflammatory pathways. [...] reduce intracranial pressure, but it may also reduce blood pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure."https://t.co/0gYSvgd6VS 🤔

Did you know the term "take a cold shower" as it relates to reduction of being sexually aroused originates from John Harvey Kellogg and his contemporaries?https://t.co/a0HNO49RHh

It's really frustraiting how so much of this stuff is overlooked and dismissed as preposterous because we seem to ignore or don't understand TRP receptors and Endocannabinoid system's role in immune regulation.Argumentum ad ignorantiam all the way down.

Anyway, here's a study about how TRPM8 plays a role in rat erections.https://t.co/AL6PBY0KZu

Ah yes, blood bending.That's what I'm researching. Totally not steel manning ancient models of health by assuming the weird notion of 'vital heat' was actually onto something.https://t.co/tyYZKhAt69

@ultimape https://t.co/BN5mBpsYWf

Why do my threads keep going to these weird places involving sexual function and health? https://t.co/R4avbeOpIp

I found my thread on dicks and diabetes.Viagra works afaict because it fixes blood pressure weirdness associated with smooth muscle tissue and vascular contraction. IIRC it operates on nitric oxide associated pathways. https://t.co/B3F5763hJdhttps://t.co/X0jIJCVg0p

TRPM8 makes me cry.It makes me moist.https://t.co/y9YIJ6Ovt0https://t.co/3u8YFvb0EV

So i'm over here reveiwing T cell an Treg in the eye and wondering if anyone is bothering to track dry eye symptoms in covid-19 cases. https://t.co/y5tCXsrHmuSo I had a hunch that reduced T cells would cause conjunctivitis via TRPM8 interaction https://t.co/50MBkt9UUo and yeah.

TRPM8 is involved in the sensing of bacterial lipopolysaccharides in cold temperatures.https://t.co/OxwMSMmWsdhttps://t.co/Vq18rMZEOG https://t.co/5LRwCOGujh

How are you ever going to 'ACE' that test if you don't get control of your blood pressure?https://t.co/2FwA5MK86p

I'll rue the day."There isn't enough reliable information to know how rue might work."https://t.co/2zGSQ2u9cI

Rue is used to stop a heart from beating fast https://t.co/0gG9IkycnqThis is clearly a creative way to hint that you wanna bang the girl so hard you get a pounding heart and will need medicine for it.In context where medical herbs were common knowledge, this is really kinky. https://t.co/doXdKb1sWB

I'm going to be buying a bunch of indoor gardening equipment with my next paycheck. I wanna grow plants that induce abortions.Stuff that smells good and has funny taste'ing roots.Molesting plants to make them long and hardy.https://t.co/PzS5m649NQ https://t.co/5U4DQkrFSj


Gonna bend some blood. Make an entire balloon animal out of my blood balloon.https://t.co/NS7R6OiiEi https://t.co/zLJYwhCdau


This whole space is full of fucked ideas. Stuff that is used to help induce abortions is also super important for having a healthy pregnancy. If you're against abortion medications, you're likely unknowingly against medications that help women have successful births. Its absurd.

"Other applications have been claimed, such as treating hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy, erectile dysfunction, kidney disease, and pancreatitis, among others." https://t.co/4oyW0A1cxz

"our novel findings bring to light a central role ofTRPM8 in the regulation of testosterone-dependent mammalian sexual and social behaviors, as loss of TRPM8 leads to a delayed sexual satiety, altered sexual preferences, and enhanced aggression"https://t.co/5tgilayvli

Using some cold water to bend my inner fire and temper my vital heat.https://t.co/PS6HYtzpV0

Did you know that they use COLD towels to calm down people who are acting overtly aggressive?Why would excessively hitting the cold/pressure sensitive TRPM8 (a known receptor for testosterone) lead to calming?What is a weighted blanket anyway?https://t.co/IKcVbmFGbs

Sexual (hyper)tension."technology to monitor BP and HR helps us to get the real data in participants during sexual activity. BP, HR and DP increase just slightly for a short time and recover to baseline level soon after sexual activity in healthy adults."https://t.co/ZMCJPBDWS3

"High blood pressure keeps the arteries that carry blood into the penis from dilating the way they're supposed to. It also makes the smooth muscle in the penis lose its ability to relax. As a result, not enough blood flows" https://t.co/zQYSQusCVVhttps://t.co/5q27xrKus3

what exactly is going on here?https://t.co/a5K1VSMFMu

I bet TRPV2, with it's apparent role in osmosensation, is how the balloon knows to stop inflating, and so we should expect it to directly or indirectly impact TRMP8 sensitization in penile tissue.A hunch.https://t.co/HcgrCXTw1j

With Oxytocin interacting with TRPV2, we are perhaps looking at the same underlying mechanism as found here: https://t.co/W9FDalvTYw

Camphor hits TRPV2 similarly to oxytocin.So... Camphor is possibly used as a sexual enhancement aid in cases where low oxytocin or testosterone is found?https://t.co/3mZ8irZZ5k

heh"Natural remedies for impotence in medieval Persia"https://t.co/34xrN5e0cc"The claim of inhibitory effect of camphor on sexual activity could not be confirmed by this study. More investigations in this field are suggested."https://t.co/N2Gsv5x6Xahttps://t.co/zAvxhmsPJo

wat"Moreover, TRPV2 is probably the least understood member of the TRPV subfamily, and the regulation of TRPV2 in humans is unknown" [Aug 2019]https://t.co/NfqFECU2b4

TRPM8 isn't just cold. also Stretch."stretching in MCs activates TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, and TRPA1 channels, that it may be involved in synaptic transmission to sensory neurons, and that MCs could contribute to the mechanosensory transduction sequence"https://t.co/Uxjf4qUpgm

Stretching helps take the pain away.https://t.co/B4TaFMUTIc

TRPM8 is just one of a number of mechanistic stretch sensors that help the body detect when something is full, or if it is thirsty.https://t.co/KZDNMA3z5R

Somewhere out there is some weird dude who literally gets hard looking at an actual tall glass of water because of TRPM8's interaction with testosterone.https://t.co/ow7H75xTvO

And someone out there is trying to dip their balls in soy sauce because they heard soy turns you into a girl.https://t.co/qibWswIoiohttps://t.co/UN2aRGBTGa

I wonder what you would have to add to soy sauce to be able to get the fermentation byproducts penetrate the scrotal sack. Do you think warmth would be enough?Also, TIL real soy sauce is a fermented food.https://t.co/BEVZANCCi0https://t.co/5SxHhMtmIe

So I was explaining to lil' bro about allergies happen b/c immune cells basically go around licking others to see what proteins are expressed on the surface.https://t.co/BAppXFAvpjHe asked me if I saw that soy sauce meme.I fucking lost it. I'm done.https://t.co/3kSV2oZPvf

Humans are dumb. We make sensors that are tuned to only give a reading under one set of circumstances. We should be thinking about the sensors as multidimensional ranges & fields; engineering overlapping fields that cancel out using computation.That's how TRP receptors work?

Our olfaction works on probability domains. The smell we sense is often mediated by what we are looking at. Sensory hallucinations are a feature of how we encode information using multi-modal sensory arrays.https://t.co/nY29VTZdmN

Vary the TRP receptor density / expression, and change how they interact to upregulate/downregulate, and you can fine tune what a body part is going to respond to.https://t.co/vg93CTif3K

Embedding a word for future me to find this idea via search:sensor fusionhttps://t.co/YaIV6VwyhC

Tired: translation AI's spontaneously inventing langaugeInspired: GAI inventing music to communicate cogent narratives about time-space constraints as a template-metanarrative network operating across sensory modalities as accident of exploring sensor fusion of embodied agents.

By your powers combined, I am a metaphor about how our body's respond to various elements as a sensory-mediated outlook on how we experience the world.Alchemy was about health & the body. Of course claims about how chemistry works would be wrong.https://t.co/Tt2TZ1DOCm

Ah yes, my brain bubbles up odd facts about a cartoon show to help me find the tweet that discusses how all these concepts are linked.https://t.co/jDTykBNgSM

One of the reasons why I wanna track my erection and sexual arousal is because of weird ties between M.S. and immune function. https://t.co/NHINWvPFWjI noticed that my arousal levels vary fairly consistently with immune factors related to M.S. Symptoms.https://t.co/5QtowzwdQR

"We also review current knowledge on the relationship between sex hormones and resident CNS cells and provide new insights in the context of MS."https://t.co/Hnem5liQCgI love how I can predict these papers must necessarily exist.

I just stumble into this shit because of exploring my family history.https://t.co/yUjvlHVZLk

@Tipsycaek So maybe you're having a migraine? The etiology of migraines is weird and people sometimes don't manifest with a pain response. TL;DR: I think the pain response abnormality associated with autism are more wide spread, but no one realizes.https://t.co/sjOa0Rwc5M

Granting the Premise, as Modus operandi.https://t.co/YZKcdlQnmw

I successfully linked pandas covering themselves with horse manure and a possible lipid metabolism problem tied to autism via TRP receptor pathways. Coincide with the effect of weighted blankets and pressure.Because of reverse trolling someone who copypasta'd about feet pics.

@strnglft So I tried an isolated linalool extract that didn't seem to help as much as a lavender one. I think its because lavender also has β-caryophyllene (found in black pepper and some cannabis strains). Doing something weird to CB2 https://t.co/zO9mczV8rw

Spice is nice."Studies using mice have found that the essential oil of oleoresin, Copaifera paupera, which contains β-caryophyllene, improves wound healing"https://t.co/PfVxGuPDfd

Essential oil of oleoresin you say?Why would the oil of hot peppers make me feel better?Probably that BAT activation via TRPV1's secondary sensitization of TRPM8.https://t.co/NPSXAzRl7Y
