I've been experimenting lately to see if I can harbor acetate making microbes in my gut. Neutralizing small amounts of alcohol & turning it into acetate & eventually butryate should super-power my gut health. Butryate producers need lactate as well. https://t.co/cNUkQscgWg
There's a lot of complexity here, and a lot of the species of butyrate producers aren't well understood, but some of the fundamental ones that seem to go missing after covid seem to love acetate and lactate as a fuel source. https://t.co/um5hbn4f4w
Getting my gut to be more resilient to alcohol might neutralize that weird phenomena where we found some bacteria (associated with Alzheimer's) make alcohol and could be a source of NAFLD.Turning a threat into an asset.https://t.co/CJy8PVqVQw
Have you now, or ever had a sulfites allergy?What do sulfites do? They kill that acetate making bacterium. It's to preserve the sweeter wine from going sour and turning into vinegarhttps://t.co/ZwkwS82VgD
@MeFromBefore @goblinodds @mechanical_monk Also, I have experimentally proved that sulfites cause me headache hangover.Sulfites kill gut bacteria, but all the doctors that research sulfites say it is impossible because they hyperfocus on sulfite allergy being rare.
Anyway, I am not a doctor. But I can say that Jägermeister was originally invented as a medicinal and it is surprisingly tasty mixed with kefir.https://t.co/gnXLvL5SvO
I don't actually recommend this unless you are intimately familar with your gut health and response to alcohol.I have the timing down so I can drink an entire bottle of 151 in a night and not black out, I also know my genes tied to alcohol tolerance https://t.co/XDg81rVXRO
I'm also willing to take drastic measures if I fuck and my my poop turns white (liver failure). These risks of experimenting with alcohol are not ones I take lightly, and for me I have mitigated many of them.https://t.co/PVDKnSrCFL
Also, my goal isn't to get shiftaced, but to make it so alcohol doesn't inebriate me. I have a suspicion that medicinal uses of alcohol in the past was a different experience than it was today.https://t.co/TZZMmG09dM
If you think someone trying to drink more alcohol to cure liver problems is a smart person to emulate, please check yourself before you wreck yourself.I am not a smart man.https://t.co/BxJDz462Td

@Grimhood One of the reasons why I had my GF drink GT's kombucha regularly was to give her a palatable source of acetic acid. I think that and the lactate from the kefir were synergizing in her like they did in me and contributed to fighting her PCOS/Diabetes Type II
Find out.https://t.co/HgmRlTGkBn
GF no longer has PCOSGF no longer has Type II diabetesGF no longer has chronic pain and inflammation that impairs her movement.She's getting strongerShe's starting to get feeling back in her fingers and heal her dry cracked skin.Fix. your. gut.https://t.co/kiTZceIMRF
I can't afford it this month, but if you're in Vermont, the large 1.750L thing of Jägermeister is on sale @ 802 spirits.https://t.co/fIRZlZvenz

We should probably figure out why alcohol impacts telomeres. https://t.co/PtXduEo1HT
@DollyZoom66 Its amazing how much bile health and alcoholism are tied to weird aging factors."Our findings indicate that alcohol consumption may shorten telomere length. There are implications for age-related diseases." https://t.co/DzpVp5RuPvhttps://t.co/PMAJVBQll6
I'll race yah.https://t.co/sqLSnHW3bq
@BeingJoshua @Grimhood There's a ton of magnesium lactate in my favorite energy drink, which might also be hitting Krebs cycle too? It sounds like the bowel impacting effects of Mg lactate was what may be treating the constipation I was having. https://t.co/LOXTMeoIF5

Not that hard to imagine the chimps using a straw given they use them for fishing out ants.https://t.co/NAqHK0njaB

@gork "scientist have long suspected that some monkeys like to get drunk... But this 17 year long study provides the first empirical evidence...."https://t.co/tlxV8Wwu2x

@gork > "In addition to introducing this new theory of the relationship of humans to alcohol, the book discusses the supporting research, implications of the hypothesis, and the medical and social impacts of alcoholism."https://t.co/Ra2iOV8pwVoh, OOOOH. neat.https://t.co/jBvosz7k4O
If only there was some explanation for my weird brambly thread on turning alcohol into muscle building butyrate.https://t.co/aZqY4k4zGN
A chimpanzee is estimated to be 1,250 to 2,000 lbs bench and 441 lbs grip strength. (according to unsourced zooologist[dot]com: https://t.co/4Vc27FHMIM ). Seems a big factor is their tendons are stronger.Gorillas can apparently crush crocodiles. https://t.co/3HupFDasqI

Humans think they are so smart, getting drunk and killing people with cars. Meanwhile a rat can avoid obstacles. https://t.co/bLZZ7HloyH

I learn more effective value by watching bees and great apes than I do other humans.https://t.co/y7VWAgq4J7

@selentelechia Ants and bees are able to self medicate when they are sick. I reasoned thru and found out that many of the pesticides that are bad for bees impact their sense of smell and impair this ability. I reasoned just needed to fix my nose for this effect to work:https://t.co/GaIb99dFJA

“The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.”― Leonardo da Vinci, Leonardo's Notebookshttps://t.co/at27CLBq2Q

We should be more humble about our knowledge of nature, and our cousins in the wild. They have much to teach us, if only we'd listen.https://t.co/np1m0mXFrh
