Omg why are your knees sore??? I have arthritis and am on tons of meds this would be awesome if it would help with arthritis

I have inherited peripheral neuropathy. The nerves in my limbs have slowly continued being stripped of their myelin for years. About a decade ago, my foot pain was at its worst, and my doctor suggested capsaicin cream. It hurt like hell! And despite numerous washings, the cream kept causing pain for about three days. I have a high pain tolerance, but I don't think I could try it again.

I think you should try putting vinegar in your eye and on your private parts. I heard somewhere that acid is the best thing you can put on extremely sensitive areas! Be sure to setup a camera first though because you know sctience requires collection of data. Be sure to post your data so that it can be peer reviewed as well!

NOTE: I am being very sarcastic, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY, DO NOT PUT VINEGAR IN YOUR EYE!!!

2nd NOTE: If you do decide to put vinegar in your eye or on your private parts, do still record it and post it though. Stience is awesome!

You can point it at people and it tells you how much meth they are on.

BTW if you want to try pysiological sighs, the specific breathwork that was used in this study but have a deviated septum or other issues breathing through your nose, one of the study's authors Andrew Huberman has said that you can do it just as easily through your mouth as long as you do a double inhale and a longer or more forceful exhale.

Always good news. Simpler measurements make for an entire domino chain of improvements.

Yeah, used it since I was a child. That stuff burns but it really works.

Now this will be a great way to extend the lifespan of worms!

Hi r/science!

A team of quantum engineers from our School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications have published a paper in Science Advances describing a new device that can measure the spins in materials with high precision.

Normally, commercially produced spectrometers require billions to trillions of spins to get an accurate reading, but the research team were able to measure spins of electrons in the order of thousands, meaning the new tool was about a million times more sensitive.

The paper is available to read here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg1593

Major Payne: "want me to show you a little trick to get the pain off that foot?"

When she was fourty, she read an article saying human immortality could soon be achieved with science, and she is confident that this is the breakthrough that will enable her to live to at least five hundred years old.

The very modern invention known as ‘Buddhism’ didn’t invent and doesn’t own traditional mindfulness. The practice of mindfulness, of ‘remembering‘, which includes remembering how to properly breathe as we evolved to, extends far back into the mists of time and cross-culturally, noting that even just observing the breath is ’working’ (consciously engaging) with it.

It’s specifically for nerve pain because it’s not really absorbed. It basically blasts the nerves on your skin overstimulating them at first which reduces that nerve receptor’s expression which relieves pain

Thank you. I obviously did not read.

Same, I have a mixed relationship with them. Sadly ketamine therapy has not been the breakthrough for me some people have had, though it has absolutely helped.

I'm very optimistic about the future of the field of psychiatry though with the movement beyond just the stuff that has helped somewhat but has been far from a cure for the last 40 or so years.

Yes. They used patches on patients’ feet in the linked study.

It gets worse with age and with repeated use. By my mid thirties it was trading 4 hours of fun for an awful comedown plus 2 days of feeling like crap.

I'm not sure about the patches, but capsaicin cream is available over the counter. It's worth a shot. Just be aware that it will cause a burning sensation that can get intense. Worth it, though, if it helps with the primary source of pain.
