Your doctor told you NSAIDs were “safe, just take it with food”…

but 2 IN 3 people got BLEEDING GUT LESIONS in just 14 days.

(Maiden 2005, Gastroenterology. PMID: 15887101)

capsule endoscopy showed the small intestine BLEEDING from DOZENS of sites — the patients never even felt it.

it’s called NSAID enteropathy.

if you take NSAIDs daily, there’s a 68% chance it’s happening to you right now.

mechanism: NSAID → COX inhibition → mitochondrial damage in enterocytes → tight junctions loosen → bacterial endotoxin crosses into the bloodstream → that’s the LPS Loop running in your body right now.

the drug is now feeding the fire it was meant to put out.

two studies, one peptide:

– 1997: ONE peptide reversed gut damage from aspirin, indomethacin, AND diclofenac. same study. (Sikiric, PMID: 9403784)

– 2011: same peptide reversed gut, liver, AND brain damage from diclofenac. 3 days. (Ilic, PMID: 21295044)

it’s called BPC-157.

BPC-157 upregulates ZO-1 — the structural protein of tight junctions. the wall reseals. endotoxin stops crossing.

Phase I human safety cleared. 30 years in the literature.

no patent. no profit. almost no doctor knows.

if you’ve taken Advil, Aleve, Voltaren, Celebrex, or aspirin weekly for years — you have accumulated gut damage you cannot feel:

– bloating that won’t quit
– fatigue that doesn’t track with sleep
– brain fog nobody can explain

these aren’t separate problems. they’re one wound.

you aren’t broken. you’re leaking.

the full protocol — what it does, exactly how to use it, 3 mistakes to avoid: 🧵Image

what BPC-157 does, beyond gut repair:

– significantly improved Achilles tendon healing after transection (Staresinic 2003, PMID: 14554208)
– segmental bone defect healed at the rate of bone graft in rabbits (Sebecic 1999, PMID: 10071911)
– ligament transection healing improved over 90 days (Cerovecki 2010, PMID: 20225319)
– spinal cord injury motor recovery in rats (Perovic 2019, PMID: 31266512)

different tissues. same mechanism. same peptide.Image

If you’ve torn a ligament that never quite healed, a tendon that aches with weather, or carry a stubborn old injury — this is in the literature for that too. Image

Macron: The Russian war against Ukraine revealed our over-dependence on Russian gas.

We are experiencing the cost of our over-dependence on the US in defense and security, and will probably experience the cost of our over-dependence vis-à-vis China.

1/
Macron: You cannot have sustainable strategic autonomy on defense if you are 100% dependent on other countries for semiconductors or food.

We experienced the cost of over-dependence in past years, including dependence on China.

2/
Macron: Democracy, rule of law, free trade, and climate through innovation create real links among allies. Our predictability on this agenda is a big advantage.

When I look at the Gulf, Asian countries, Latin America or Africa — they just want predictable partners

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.
2. After the results of the 2021 West Bengal elections were declared, news started pouring in about organised massacres of BJP cadre and Hindus who supported them or voted for them. This was not limited to anyone part of West Bengal. Horrendous videos were pouring via DMs on SM.
3. The worst part was the organised & targeted sexual violence committed against Hindus,especially those who supported the BJP.Even the cadre & families of CPI(M) weren't spared. Hotel rooms had been booked in certain districts for organised gangrapes in anticipation of victory.

Semax is the most underrated nootropic peptide on the market.

It has 40 years of safe Russian clinical use behind it. I've been using it for a few months and the cognitive benefits are insane.

Here's the breakdown: (1/13) Image
Semax has been on the Russian list of essential drugs since 2011. If you have a stroke in Moscow, they put this up your nose in the ambulance.

It's a frontline neuroprotective tool and a standard part of their medical care.
The science started with Soviet research on a stress hormone called ACTH.

Scientists found a small piece of that molecule that protected the brain without the usual side effects. They kept that specific signal and got rid of everything else. Image

Here's how to stop being inflamed in order to improve your mood, energy levels, looks and more.

Thread🧵 Image
It's George.

While inflammation is essential for survival and one of the most fundamental processes in the human body, it can also become harmful when excessive, prolonged or misdirected, leading to tissue damage, fibrosis, chronic disease and so on.

That’s why if you have a chronic health issue that you are trying to resolve, it’s very unlikely that you haven’t stumbled across terms such as “anti-inflammatories”, “inflammation cascade” and so on.

After all, chronic inflammation is linked to:
-Rheumatoid arthritis
-Psoriasis
-IBD
-Skin infections
-Gum disease
-Diabetic ulcers
Diabetic ulcers
-Heart disease
-Septic shock
Depression
-Arthritis
-COPD
-Neurodegenerative diseases

and much more.Image

But what is inflammation exactly?

At its core, as you will find in most of its definitions, inflammation is the body’s protective response to injury or infection in vascularized living tissue.

So it occurs only in tissues with blood vessels and involves both vascular and cellular components.

It is broadly divided into acute and chronic forms.

Acute inflammation is dominated by neutrophils, begins within minutes to hours and lasts hours to days.

Examples include bacterial pneumonia, appendicitis or a simple cutaneous infection.

Chronic inflammation, in contrast, develops slowly and persists for weeks, months or years.

Rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and atherosclerosis are some of the classic examples.Image

Politico: There is an intense effort underway by Republicans to flip Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) into becoming a Republican.

Fetterman told Politico on Friday he’s staying a Democrat but when one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn’t embrace or reject the overture.

ChatGPT has a hidden mode. It can think like Superman.

Below are 7 prompts that seem almost illegal:
1. Gain expert-level knowledge

Prompt:
"Act as an absolute authority in [insert field]. Instruct me as if I were your direct apprentice, from basic level to complete mastery.

Build a structured path in clear steps, including practical tasks, little-known resources, and the most efficient shortcuts.

Include application exercises, simulations, or real challenges to ensure each step is truly absorbed."
2. Update your mental system

Prompt:
"Act as a mind architect. Analyze my current operating models — thought patterns, habits, and beliefs. Restructure my internal system to increase mental clarity, accelerate decision-making, strengthen memory, stimulate creativity, and improve emotional control."

I’m back with the final installment of “The ‘New Mass’ of 1964” series

This article is the conclusion for the whole series

It's a huge milestone for me as I wrap up this project, so come along with me for one final thread!

🧵⤵️ A collage of newspapers throughout the United States and Canada which printed the satirical poem “The Updated Church: A Conservative’s Lament”, in 1964 and 1965. Scans via Catholic News Archive and Newspapers.com, public domain.
Here’s a link, please check it out:

🔗handmissalhistory.com/newmass1964con…
This conclusion piece is more than just a wrap-up

I used this as a coda and extended reflection on the whole series, including new unpublished material and a newly revised thesis

It’s notably shorter than any of the other pieces, so I'd really encourage you to check it out

👇@Reform_uk are putting British women at risk just to make a vindictive political point is abhorrent.
This isn’t tough leadership, it’s reckless point-scoring with people’s safety.
Endangering British women to own the Greens is disgusting. 🤮
You don’t play politics with public safety.
Absolutely abhorrent.
Millions must go... but this isn’t tough leadership it’s reckless point-scoring. 🇬🇧
If you cant see how abhorrent this is in itself...
How about @Reform_UK are now promising hundreds of millions pounds of investment and hundreds of new jobs for Green strongholds.
Madness!

🧵Rich boy steals a championship title from his own sister.

Paul "Lina" Haaga's family has millions. His grandfather is the former CEO/president of NPR and his parents are paying around $100,000 a year just for their two oldest to attend high school.

"Trans" seems to be very much an upper-class luxury, as evinced by the noticeably large number of celebrity children that we've seen in recent years pretending to be the opposite sex.

"Lina" is far from the only boy who already has everything, but feels a need to steal from girls. Here are a few other privileged, entitled rich white boys cosplaying as a "marginalized minority."👇
2/ Riley "Athena" Ryan attended Sonoma Academy

Tuition: $60,000 per year (rounded to the 1,000th)

(Girls' cross country, girls' track and field) Image

3/ Tate Drageset and "Lorelei" Barrett both attended The Buckley School (Buckley Sherman-Oaks)

Tuition: $58,000 per year

(To his credit, Barrett did the right thing and returned to the boys' team)

YOUR IPHONE ISN'T OLD.

IT HAS 6 MISCONFIGURED SETTINGS.

I changed them in 10 minutes. It feels like a new phone.

🔖 Save it, you'll thank me. Image
Image
1. Siri Listens to You All Day

Siri doesn't just activate when you call it.

It's constantly listening, indexing, and generating suggestions in the background.

Go to Settings > Siri and Search.

Turn off everything you don't use. Your iPhone breathes instantly.
2. The GPS That Never Sleeps

You have apps with location set to "Always".

That means the GPS activates only when you're not even using them.

Go to Settings > Privacy > Location. Change everything to "While Using the App". Battery and speed boosted at once.
