I think a lot of people assume that because I talk about a lot of different supplements I must take dozens of them each day

The truth is that honestly at this point I often go a week or two at a time without taking any pills whatsoever

My goal has always been to use as few substances as possible

When I was focusing on neurogenesis originally, it required a lot more maintenance, but the last few months I've been able to minimize significantly

At this point I use almost solely herbs, either in tea, or occasionally as formulations I've put together like adaptogen coffee

I've been using ULDN, ku shen, and maral daily, adaptogen coffee and vitality tonic every few days, and magnesium topically/orally as needed, that's it

Just because I've created a patreon does not mean I'm going to stop sharing the same quality and depth of information on twitter

It's simply a way for those of you who prefer longform writing and would like to ask me questions directly to support my work if you choose to

Creating in articles and lectures like this takes hours, if not days in some cases, this will allow me to provide content on the level normally reserved for those I consult with for much cheaper

If you don't want to pay anything, that's okay, my presence here will stay the same

The only thing I can't post here is phrasing that implies medical "treatments" or "cures" for different conditions, I wiped past tweets to give me the chance to rewrite anything I may have worded poorly in the past, and expand on it with my more recent research

Melatonin research (thread):

Melatonin is my favorite molecule in the body, it regulates circadian rhythm, the immune system, and gene expression, and acts as a antioxidant within both cells and mitochondria

This is a collection of a few of my favorite studies on melatonin, specifically focused on endogenous function and production

I'll be adding more over time

Grounding Research (thread):

This is a collection of research studies on the effects of grounding, a rapidly growing health practice in which someone touches their bare skin to the earth's surface for some time

Grounding may work by feeding free electrons into the water-protein semi-conduction network throughout the body

Grounding has also been proposed to work through activation of the ventral vagus nerve, and provide benefits similar to other forms of vagus nerve stimulation

The most common results found in these studies seem to be reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress, reduced blood pressure and viscosity, reduced cortisol, improved mood, better sleep, normalized circadian rhythm, and reduced pain and fatigue

As far as thiamine (vitamin B1) supplements go, there are only a few primary forms to be aware of:

Thiamine hydrochloride, the basic salt form, very common in supplements, not the most potent, but less likely to cause side effects as it doesn't need other nutrients to activate

Benfotiamine, less common, but one of the more potent forms, generally reported to be more stimulating than other forms so it's best taken in the morning, it's structure contains sulfur which may rarely cause reactions in individuals with certain sulfur metabolism issues

Allithiamine (TTFD), the most potent form, bypasses all transporters entering cells directly, should be dosed much lower than other forms, and more likely to cause side effects as its activation requires B12 and glutathione, may also react negatively with heavy metal toxicity

In the eyes DHA serves the integral function of capturing light that's been lifted to the UV spectrum and released by oxidized vitamin A bound to light receptor proteins

DHA's dense electron clouds capture the energy of the re-released light and transfer it into a neural impulse

To put it more simply, light hits a light receptor protein which uses vitamin A as a cofactor

The light is captured by the protein and excites vitamin A, raising its energy state

When its energy state drops down the difference between the two states is added to the light energy

As a result, the light is re-released within the UV spectrum through fluorescence

The membranes around the light receptors are filled with DHA, which absorbs light within the UV spectrum

The light interacting with the DHA excites it's electrons, creating a current
