"A wealthy entrepreneur who spends more than $2 million a year and who has received blood from his teenage son and other young persons in his quest to achieve immortality, or at least stave off aging, reports that he has developed a rare disease that he says is causing “My stomach to eat itself.”
Biohacker Bryan Johnson, founder of online payments company Braintree, announced on social media that he has been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG), an incurable autoimmune disease.
In a lengthy, nearly 2,000-word post on X, Johnson said, “My stomach is eating itself,” but declared that is “going to try and solve it.”
“AIG causes irreversible damage: nutritional deficiency, anemia, and over a long horizon, elevated cancer risk,” Johnson said. “When AIG is discovered today, standard medical care concedes defeat, stating that nothing can be done except managing the condition, no matter how awful or lethal the effects.”"

Biohacking is so gay. Eating a whole foods, non-processed, ancestral diet and supplementing to make up for post-industrial nutrient gaps is all you need to do. Taking weird shit like ashwagandha is how you turn your body into an experiment. You wanna know why this retard has an autoimmune disease? A) probably gets a fuck ton of vaccines, and B) moron only eats a plant based diet. You aren't biohacking shit if you're feeding your omnivore body only plants.
Kek this dipshit's stomach misses meat so bad that it's gone cannibal
Could be that simple.
Herbs can be used effectively, but do require some knowledge. Ashwaganda works a lot better in combination with Boswelia (same thing as Frankincense in the Bible) and Turmeric. They're all anti-inflammatories. Inflammation is the root cause of a huge % of human disease, and also a symptom of many.
It isn't. Ashwagandha increases T3 and T4 thyroid hormones, blunts cortisol, and can cause anhedonia. There are also reports of liver injury. Usually if you don't take anything that doesn't sound like a pajeet's name you'll be fine. Just supplement your nutrient gaps and drink teas.
These are all good things.
Although how much to take and how often is a different thing.
No, they aren't. You just said it's anti-inflammatory, and yet cortisol is your body's primary anti-inflammatory signaling molecule. Blunting cortisol will blunt your body's response to inflammation. And there's no need to boost your thyroid hormones if they aren't low. If you're already on the higher side of thyroid function it could push you towards hyperthyroidism.
Cortisol causes all sorts of problems.
The anti-inflammatory properties balance that out without the harm caused by too much cortisol.
Very few people have too little cortisol, or excess thyroid hormone. Those with both should obviously stay away from this herb.
Not that complicated a concept, really.
jumping in to the convo to say I've liked ashwagandha but haven't stuck with it but also have seen lots of people post a variety of experiences with it (so its effects may vary per person)
I think it's a "try it and see if it does anything for you" kind of thing personally
Most things are better taken irregularly than "stuck with it." And every day for 6 months is too much for anything.
Generally any natural remedy is going to be very mild compared to Rx; most western medicine is originally derived from some plant, trying to isolate "the one main active ingredient," (which is a fallacy about how they work) and then concentrated, eventually being synthesized out of petroleum. That's what big pharma IS.
Herbs that are supposed to have a noticeable effect, I start with 3x the recommended dose and take ONLY that, so I can tell how it affects me. From there I keep reducing the dosage until I know how much I actually need, and can tell when I need it vs when I don't. If experimenting like that produces no effect it usually reveals one of two possibilities; either it's not really supposed to have a noticeable effect or higher quality is needed.
One example of an herb that's not supposed to have any noticeable effect is Mullein, which strengthens the lungs as a system over months. Almost everything I've taken that's supposed to have a noticeable effect is an example of learning when I need it vs when I DON'T.
Ashwaganda is a good example of something not to take by itself, but in combination with other similar compounds for a synergistic effect; Boswelia and Turmeric in this case. The most noticeable effect of the 3 comes from Turmeric. The other two basically let you take less Turmeric while still getting some relief from inflammation generally. Boswelia is the same plant as Biblical Frankincense.
For treating a sprain or other soft tissue injury / acute inflammation, Naproxin is FAR more effective for me, short term. I try to avoid NSAIDS at all costs, but occasionally take that, or aspirin for a headache. (Acetomenaphine does nothing for me)
Nephilim can breed with humans but not with other nephilim, for it causes sterility in the offspring.
Covid vaccine made nephilim of many. Doomed to die.
Interesting redefinition of "nephilim". I think there's a better ancient word for your concept but for now "NPC" will have to do.
I could imagine even the biohacker (Mr. Johnson) finding this a little funny as well
We are going to die and need to try to make peace with God and to be always prepared to "meet our Maker"
I think biohacking is fine as a kind of attempt to become healthier, but psychologically and spiritually unhealthy if they're simply trying to avoid or "cheat" death
