I have yet to see any reason why you should be staring at the emr tek red lights with eyes bulging. As far as UV light, it's best to not have it directly in your face IMO. If it is, your eyes should be closed and you'll get some UV through your eye lids. I do some direct staring for a few seconds into the UV bulbs but I'm experienced and know what I'm doing. I know when my eyes feel irritated, dry, blurry, etc, I've over done it, and I proceed to hit them with double red light and lay off the direct UV for a few days.
I keep my eyes open, but look up or to the sides, ie not directly at the light. I’ll “look” at them with my eyes shut… Don’t be the kid on the playground staring at the sun
high sugar diet? I kind of cured mine after going carnivore for a month. It comes back if I increase the sucrose. Also dry the area after every shower.
I eat extremely clean - beef eggs white rice 3 times a day. The rice is the issue most likely.I will go carnivore again but combine it with anti fungals. Thanks for the advice
Really have given alcohol up last few years. When I did drink favorite whiskey was whatever was available. I'd need a fifth to myself to get drunk properly. I have the rare genes where I dont get drunk, just more awesome. And that's why I had to stop. There's actually no point in drinking alcohol if I need to down 1000 empty calories to feel something
I started watching around the time the rock came up so he was probably my favorite. Would look up different wrestlers’ workout routines on muscle and strength
My Dad was recently diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia. His symptoms are very similar to stages 5 & 6. With conventional Western medicine his life's pretty much over. I'm trying to look into alternatives treatments for him. I came across a video from Dr Edward Lee and Jay Campbell where he discussed reversing someones dementia with cerebrolysin (and some other things). Do you know of anyone else or any other treatments I should look into? What would you do in my situation? Appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thanks UM. I know it's a tough one to advise on. It's crazy because in the last 7 months he's been on a crappy hospital diet, seen daylight outside maybe 4 times, been on all sorts of medications, benzo's, anti psychotics that come with all sorts of side effects whilst they diagnosed him and no one caring for him talks about this. I'll let you know how we get on. thanks again.
Thanks for all of your content - it's genuinely helpful.
I have an elderly family member recently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, of the "least bad" variety. She's got a good healthcare team, but they're very normie, and with PF, it's basically "this will get worse and then you will die, maybe from this."
I'm curious if you'd recommend looking into any specific peptides, or if there's anything else you'd recommend I research. I found a link for GHK being possibly helpful, one for CSP7, and one for CNP.
Any other directions you can think of I should look in?
Of course, this is not medical advice I'm asking for.
(I will also look for a local Functional MD to supplement the standard-of-care medical practices.)
Merry Christmas UM & fellow lab rats, especially those of you who use the search feature before asking questions 🥰
Merry Christmas UM! What’s the safest way to get some eye exposure with the EMR-TEK and Sperti lamps?

Do you mean should or shouldn’t be staring at the emr tek lights?
I don't see why you shouldn't *

Merry Christmas mate! Can psilocybin be used as a tool to increase rate of learning and retention?
probably not the best idea hahaha it has plenty of other good use cases though
Merry Christmas !
Any advice/protocol for someone dealing with quite persistent/long lasting balanitis?

Merry Christmas everyone!
Would like to add, grateful for this wonderful community. My goal for 2025 is to participate more and learn from you guys!
Also, favorite whiskeys or alcoholic drinks?

Merry Christmas UM and thank you for everything you do. As an update, Inferno has been one of the investments I've made so thank you for that.
Question: what was the definitive moment that led you to get into biohacking and then helping people with everything you learned?
It's tough to narrow it down to one moment
I was told that i was caught in the kitchen making crude elixirs out of any ingredients I could get ahold of at age 3
In grade school I was simultaneously in the gifted kid program and the bad kid program for causing trouble out of boredom
Everything I was taught was either too boring or easy
Around 12-13 yrs old I became interested in weightlifting because I wanted to be a WWE wrestler
Around 14 I started drinking, smoking weed/cigarettes, and taking other psychoactive substances but I wanted to do it all safely and effectively
Those both led me down large biology, chemistry and pharmacology rabbit holes
The rest is history
It all makes sense. Wrestling is what got me into weightlifting as well lol. Who was your favorite wrestler?
Tough. Ultimate warrior and man were some of my faves. All the ECW guys too
I started watching around the time the rock came up so he was probably my favorite. Would look up different wrestlers’ workout routines on muscle and strength
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Merry Christmas UM. What have been your favorite books of all-time? Do you categorize, like favorite for fun, for development, for learning, etc?
Yo so maybe something's wrong with me but I don't read fiction, ever. Learning is the ultimate fun for me so It's strictly nonfic
I guess I can give you top 10ish in no particular order
Efficiency
Transhuman Genocide
Universal Preferable Behavior
The Bell Curve
The Law of One
The Body Electric
The Qu'o Dialogues
GHB The Natural Mood Enhancer
Astral Dynamics
100 Deadly Skills
Merry Christmas UM.

If I had dementia I'd probably go the herbalist/grimhood route with some cere as well
Not medical advice but would take the peganum harmala, lions mane, bacopa, nigella sativa, and methylene blue with maybe 10mL cerebrolysin daily

If one can't obtain exogenous DHT are masteron (~250mg/wk) or proviron (50mg daily) decent alternatives to raise DHT
Happy Newyears UM! Is there a starting point to look at or google if I wanted to make my own DHT topical?
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas btb, can you check my question from previous ama. Ty
Your favorite online TRT clinic?
Merry Christmas!
