I confess that my sick ass hair pill blob is visibly very dying and I did not get my shit together in time, so tonight I blew the dust off the lab about a week later than I said I would. Took all of 20 minutes IDK why i've been in a weird funk about it for weeks.

edit... I also confess that I posted my whole POTD in this thread before realizing it later oops.

I must pour hot water on the months old coir (looks clean) and pour some new plates tomorrow.

And trim a fucking giant pine tree to 8ft off the ground or the city will fine me but at this point i might have to let em, ijdgaf.

8 ft above ground doesn't seem like a real long-term solution for a large pine. Doesn't really sound like trimming either.

Finally, rain! Oh wait my wife hates rain and our only dry place is in the van.
Oh damn, rain.

Edit: but wait. That means taking a dump in the soaking wet brambles. Never mind, I love rain. Let's go smoke a doob under a plastic sheet. Remember, children, water is the source of all life.

Man I love the sound of falling water.

I delivered a load to southern British Columbia where I grew up.

The PNW has many types of rain. That day it was misty raining. The kind that feels like a steady falling soft mist. It was so wonderful I called my wife.

All we get in Alberta is torrential downpours. It's a good storm, but I need that depth to the types of rain.

You got misty rain, sprinkles, light rain (the kind where you stay dry in a forest), Actual Rain, Heavy rain (You usually put a jacket on here), Torrential downpour.

All this talk of rain has me missing my home. I visited my hometown while I was there. My feelings for the town were there, but the town is different than when I left. Not the same. Nothing in life really is.

I confess that I’m really bummed about Lou from Sick of It All passing away. Only met him once, but he seemed like a solid dude. To go in your 50’s isn’t unreasonable, but I wish he could have squeezed a few more years out.  I’m so fucking sick of cancer. The disease, the lack of understanding of it, the way we treat it… Fuck.  Bummer.

There's a kind of mist rain that only happens when it's chilly, like it wants to be snow.

I was just back in my hometown so I can relate. It's different there and far gone from the place I grew up in; yet you wouldn't know anything had changed much at all if I showed you pictures from back then to now

I would like rain more if I lived somewhere suitable.

Unfortunately living in trip digits when it rains it does cool it down for a little.

Then the humidity kicks in.

Fasting kills cancer, Jesus said fasting cures all sicknesses, heres what we know today from science:


Fasting triggers a process in the body called Autophagy (greek, meaning eating itself) when there hasnt been any energy going into your system for a few days the body starts to break down itself to convert that into energy. What it starts with is going after weak cells, damaged cells, zombie cells (the ones doing nothing productive, just stealing energy and eventually becoming bad cells) and cancer cells. Cancer cells can not convert their own energy so they are reliant on you having sugars in your blood stream for them to grow and survive, healthy cells can break down stuff and convert their own energy they dont need constant intake of food to survive and to thrive thats why humans can go a month without eating and not become sick or injured by it, all organs will remain healthy.



Another thing that happens after 72h of fasting is that you trigger the production of stem cells and this increase is in thew thousands of percents, you literally start repairing your whole body, the testosterone in males increases by 2000-3000% in females by about 1500%, I wont write a wall here because im off topic but i feel this is important for people to know so ill risk going a bit off topic, anyway this video explains it better:




I started fasting last year, did a couple of 72h fasts and immediately that summer I no longer had cronic pain in my left shoulder that I've had since 2005 :shrug:
Stem cells will repair all sorts of tissue damage, muscles, cartlige, bones, brain, all of it.

Now I try fasting on wednesdays and fridays (as Orthodox Christians do) but I still only rarely manage to do it twice a week, it gets easier tho definitely :eatingout:

well i finally got around to cleaning up the HHG. I put a note about beeftube and what happened to it and i did upload the three surviving episodes that I had copies of.  I may put up a couple more episodes someday, but honestly man.  I feel like people GOT THIS now, don't you? like, we just don't see the hoards of confused masses of noobs like we used to, ya know? Maybe i'm off.
Anyway, heres the down-low beeftube channel.

With all due respect, my friend, I can't agree with you.

First, I'd caution against drawing broad conclusions about something this complex, because unfortunately reality is much more nuanced.

Fasting isn't the only mechanism that triggers autophagy (physical exercise through ATP depletion, hypoxia, hyperthermia, oxidative stress, certain compounds such as caffeine, among others). And, in general, there isn't just one kind of "autophagy"—there are different forms with different functions.

As a preventive strategy and in the very early stages of certain tumors, there is some evidence supporting fasting in specific contexts. But things become much more complicated once a tumor is established. Pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancers (and possibly others as well) can actually exploit autophagy, and in those cases it may promote tumor survival. The problem is that none of us gets a CT scan every year to know whether an undetected tumor is already there.

Are there mechanisms besides autophagy involved during fasting? Absolutely. Insulin, IGF-1, inflammation, lipid profile... I'd even argue that these are probably more interesting in this context.

It's similar to the common belief that cancer is simply "fed by sugar" (these myths tend to reinforce each other). Even in ketosis, blood glucose levels are maintained through gluconeogenesis—the conversion of amino acids into glucose. And yes, cancer cells can still take it up. More importantly, cancer isn't metabolically rigid. Many tumors can also use glutamine, acetate, fatty acids... the list goes on.

And the testosterone claim... forget it. I have no idea where you're getting those huge numbers from, but forget it. Fasting does increase growth hormone (GH), but it also induces GH resistance at the tissue level, so you don't get an anabolic effect. You do get increased lipolysis and better preservation of lean mass, but testosterone? No. There's no convincing evidence for a meaningful increase.

In general, after about 72 hours, the benefit curve starts to reverse. I don't see any real rationale for extending a fast beyond that.

And believe me, I've spent quite a bit of time studying this stuff. I've done strict ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, regular 24-hour fasts, and even 72-hour fasts during seasonal transitions... and I don't practice any of it anymore. My professional life revolves around physical conditioning, and even so, I'm currently waiting for an abdominal ultrasound to check whether I have gallstones. If I do, fasting is probably where they came from. And yes, I also lost a friend to bladder cancer not that long ago.

Leave cancer treatment to oncologists, stay away from chronic stress, eat well, move your body, and enjoy your life. One day you'll die, just like everyone else—and if it isn't cancer, it'll be something else.

Hugs!

I dont see where you are diagreeing with what I wrote except the part about testosterone increase, this info (along with every other big word for us noobs that you posted about, acids, lipds and such) all of these you mention are mentioned in the video I posted and then some, the guy in the video has written around 10 books on this subject, im not saying now would I ever say follow blindly my instructions since im not a medical expert.


However I do stand by that it might be very beneficial for anyone to read what I wrote, then to check out the video I included and to then follow up with their own research. But I definitely think its good for anyone to get access to this information that isnt thought in school nor in the Oncologist's office.



What we do know is that back in the day when humans involontarily fasted regularly due to lack on food, when kids didnt have McDonalds in every neighborhood hospitals werent packed with kids and young adults that had every type of cancer known to man as it is today. of course it's due to many factors like the lack of industrialization/harmful waste, last of plastics, and many other factors.


However one important thing remains, cancerous cells thrive on elevated blood sugar levels and they struggle at the opposite end of that spectrum. Healthy cells thrive either way. Autophagy actively destroys cancer cells while healthy cells thrive and its important for people to investigate this further. We all know Big Pharma isnt interested in anything except making money unfortunately, if they cared about our well being they'd be out of business quickly :mushroom2::heart:

I can't speak to the validity of fasting as cancer treatment,  but I do know that complex problems don't typically have simple solutions. I feel skepticism is warranted with any claim.

Do any of you have ponds or aquariums that you'd like sharing pictures of?
Please post them in here.
It feels like I know there's more out there and I don't have anywhere else to post it it's other topic of discussion and.
Quite frankly…
We just don't have very much talent in that thread yet.

Beefarino!  The hhg is as vital apart of the Shroomery as my heart is to my body. Thank you for cleaning it up and for preserving at least some of the video.

My two cents: if you could recreate some of that video content (Herculean effort, I know) for posterity it would be a great service to shroomkind. Your contributions are so pivotal to making cultivation accessible to even the lowliest and most clueless noobs like myself. The historian and the aficionado in me want to see your legacy preserved in its entirety.

Love you, man. :hug:

I couldn’t find the topic, so I sent you a message. And no, I’m not any kind of expert. But if you want, we can share opinions — I don’t mind.
