  1. Why Can’t Humans Regrow Limbs? An Evolutionary Biologist Explains

    Salamanders regrow entire limbs. We share their evolutionary blueprint. So why can’t humans do the same? The answer…

    Nononono that's not how the #immuneSystem works! I think your very rational point regarding "?what must be set to zero for this to make sense to a systems-architect" is a most excellent one. Any degree of immunity in #healthcare workers contributes to transmissible pathogens being, well, less-transmitted. When these folks are spending all their time caring for the sick and infirm, that's a lot of moments of reduced-transmission (into a ripe breeding-ground for the pathogen) that happen as a result. Don't even get me started on what happens when a whole #hospital ward changes status from some sort of "normal" status to some sort of "infectious" status. There are a LOT of things that have to be valued at (or near) zero for this to make sense.

    Also keep in mind that exposure to the pathogen or the vaccine carries some risk... These folks are willing to take that risk - essentially - for free! What a treat.

    But wait there's more! These healthcare workers are governed by a famously unsympathetic regulator, who will have little sympathy should standards have fallen because n of the workers were off sick. Those who do go into work are willing to carry that risk, also for free! And even more, some of them might be feeling a bit rubbish too, making it even less probable they can meet those regulatory standards. And they're willing to carry that risk for free too!

    I think there's a heap of stuff being valued at zero here, and this is just that which is apparent in a very superficial rant...

  7. Well. I finished my #BellsPalsy meds about the same time my #knee & #back pain returned.

    A coincidence? Do #steroids stop #joint & #arthritic #pain?

    I know that my Dr said they weakened my #immunesystem, so I guess they might be why I still have #Covid.

    #Dinner tonight? Comfort food for my better half - anything with barley or #PotatoGems.
    So it’s a weird stew of pork sausages, tomatoes, carrots, peas, gems & barley.

    My half of the bowl will definitely include some #WorcestershireSauce

    Nice skeptic article as any true science should be. Anything that links the 2011 Russo paper "Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects" is to be celebrated. Here is the link again in case somebody missed it.

    bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

    Russo's paper has been cited 1,161 times and it deals with exogenous cannabinoids and terpenes synergy, not just endogenous o made inside our body, as did the original 1998 Mechoulam research.

    Indeed, due to obsolete prohibitionism and sad profit-comes-first mentality, the current cannabis and hemp markets are a wild west of fake adultered product and unproven claims.

    Yet since 2011 hundreds of studies have confirmed the entourage effect. Here is a small and incomplete collection of full spectrum extract papers 2004-2023.

    cvresearch.info/full-spectrum-

    OPs article calls for more standarized extract testing, even though Big Pharmas really prefers patentable, cheap to make, single molecule, symptom masking drugs. Good luck with that.

    I agree with the article bottomline: governments should step up to the research task instead of trusting this critical matter to profit-driven corporations. Mixed isolate cannabis pharmaceuticals have been in the market for over a decade and proven their capabilities and limitations.

    That is the case of Sativex, a 700 US$ 1:1 (thc:cbd) oral spray that controls some symptoms of MS yet fails to work for other conditions. Three separate studies ( Israeli, Brazilian and American) have since proven that full flower artisanal extracts are up to 6x more effective than expensive isolate preparations like Sativex

  9. BIG HEMP continues to hype CBD extracts from fertilizer-ladden mechanized crops that carry heavy metals and toxins, as hemp is one heck of a bioaccumulator.

    The clean and effective ancestral cannabic medicine is made from artisanal organic flower, and darn simple to prepare at home for many health conditions.

    In the post linked I explain all the scientifically proven properties of cannabis tea made from dry "recreative" flower.

    It produces little to no high, since its THCa and CBDa based (acidic raw versions of THC and CBD).

  12. Hello Mastodon! #introduction

    I’m Ashley Connors, a PhD candidate at NC State University. I study how #PFAS affect the #ImmuneSystem but I’m also interested in #toxicology and #immunology more broadly. I’m here to interact with and learn from folks who care about #pollution and other #EnvironmentalHealth issues.
