> Stress increases intestinal permeability and is involved in the pathogeny of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

> Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) can improve intestinal permeability. Targeting the intestinal barrier through VNS opens new therapeutic avenues in IBD and IBS.

Reply to Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80

Breaking research: people that are sick sleep more and skew study results with arbitrary line of 8 hours. Flip side, some illnesses make it difficult to sleep, skewing results below 6 hours. How do I get paid for my research on the topic?

Seriously, these stats often pop up but I feel like there’s a lot of conflation between “sleeping too much is unhealthy” and “unhealthy people sleep too much.”

I'm sure there are other causes. Sorry to hear about the Addisons. I know it can be a challenging way to live.

TBH, I'd be tempted to ask my doc to tweak my dosage.

If you still have your adrenal gland, could you be still firing off small amounts of cortisone at inappropriate times of the day? I had the thing where I wasn't making enough cortisol in the early afternoon but making too much at night so had anxiety and insomnia (this was along with Graves' disease before I had my thyroid out.) I'm much better now.

“Challenging trip” is the term I like:

And if the world ever gets overwhelming and dark and you’re falling.

Drink some water Go outside Turn on the Grateful Dead on YouTube and watch/listen till it gets you right back on your trip

Edit: or a nice warm shower

Reply to comment by crusoe in Long-Term Exposure to Isoflavones (genistein and daidzein) for 5 months Alters the Hormonal Steroid Homeostasis-Impairing Reproductive Function in Adult Male Wistar Rats by Meatrition

Cholecalciferol is vitamin d3. This Product is rodenticide you can buy right now that will kill rodents with vitamin d3. https://www.belllabs.com/bell-labs/product/us/pest-control/terad-sub-3-sub-blox

However it doesn’t kill humans the same way, not at all.

Reply to Pregnant patients with anxiety have altered immune systems: pregnant women with anxiety have higher levels of immune cells cytotoxic T cells and they have differences in the activity of immune markers that circulate in the blood by giuliomagnifico

I've been curious about pregnancy coupled with anxiety. When my mom was pregnant with my older sister, it was planned. She loved it and has/still says it was the best time in her life. Two years later, while she was pregnant with me, my dad came out as gay (then HIV positive) while undergoing treatment for cancer, so she had to work a stressful customer service job to make ends meet.

I have always had weird physical health issues, but my sister doesn't have any health concerns. I have been diagnosed with aplastic anemia and Thrombocytosis but require zero treatment because my body functions normally. I don't have any cancer and no genetic markers for cancer, so I just get iron infusions a couple of times a year. The only thing I can really point to is the differences in my mother's pregnancy.

Reply to For the first time researchers have proven a clear correlation between deforestation and regional precipitation. by YoanB

I remember reading something like that years decades ago about Amazon rainforest or in general any coastal forests. They help pump or transfer water inland. Most rains fall within a few km of a coast. It is forests that recycle the water and transpire to restore moisture for rains further inland. So, cutting coastal forests is far more damaging as it disturbs entire water cycle of much much broader geography.

It is nice to final evidence of such long held traditional knowledge linking trees with rains.
