  • I’m guessing this is the vagus nerve he’s describing? Longest nerve in the body, and the effect being a vasovagal syncope.

    I have had this nerve stimulated by severe gastrointestinal issues twice, and the effect can only be described as dying haha. I’m being hyperbolic, but I swear both times I passed out felt like the end.

    Complete lack of strength, cold sweats, weird hearing issues and then passing out into a fencing response, convulsing, and then waking up within 30 seconds, no confusion, completely aware of what just happened and how much it sucked. Different than a seizure.

    Fun fact:

    one of these pass outs were at the beginning of an international flight while seated in an exit row. The flight hadnt even taken off from the airport. They even let me stay.


  • Simple dish but it’s amazing,

    Chicken adobo

    Get about two chicken breasts, bone-in preferred

    Pop into a bag with some like 6 cloves of garlic 1 cups of soy sauce, and 3 tbsp of fresh black pepper

    Marinade for like 3 hours

    Then throw all of that into a pot and cook for about 45 minutes closed lid on the stove, mixing occasionally

    Prepare white rice for base

    Take off the lid and let it cook for about 15-20 more minutes on medium-low, until sauce is noticeably thicker. Place on a simmer until rice finishes, then go ahead and plate. Make sure to add some sauce to your bowl as per your preference

    Enjoy!

    Basically this mutation is shown to protect against malaria, but it causes an issue with producing a molecule needed for the creation of ATP (energy your body needs)

    So while they can offer a protective effect to the subject they could need transfusions or other treatment to stay healthy.

    Subject 1 & 2 had similar biomarkers, and subject 3 had different markers causing a type of misread that made them transfusion dependent.

    That’s my understanding at least






  • Kalothar@lemmy.catoMemes@lemmy.mlProbably, yeah

    Incorrect trauma has lasting effects on people, while you are talking about temporary states caused by endorphins. Some people literally do not make enough of these chemicals, they will not suddenly start upon eating the right foods and getting physical activity.

    It can help for sure.

    Also, some people are genetically predisposed to being sad, anxious or what have you without any trauma.
