I know nothing about that book, and I don't have the time or scratch right now to buy, then read, such a phone book.

Mister Facetious posted:Remember the 'Doctor's Book of Home Remedies' commercials? Most of those books are really full of rehashed "working remedy for a minor issue, but it's not particularly good" stuff to bulk them out. And then the creator doses in their specific scams along with the tips that are merely like "you can keep an aloe plant around and break open a leaf if you get a sunburn".

It's not good for you but hopefully it kills the infection before it cooks your brain. Also I'm now kind of sad I tossed that giant book on natural cures my old boss gave me. I could have passed to curse onto you instead of some rando at Goodwill.

The kind of person who accepts something as stupid as "move the neurotransmitters to balance them out" and "be vegan" is probably passing on their sheeplike naivete. this hasn't been a directive in schools since bush II at the latest.

Schubalts posted:Aren't you glad that there are commercials for a "home treatment option" that are trying to get people to believe that they don't have to go back to the doctor regularly while on chemo? I thought they were referring to the Neulasta device they give you after certain chemotherapy sessions so that you don't have to come back the next day for a shot? Or are you referring to the types of chemotherapy drugs that take so long to infuse they send the patient home with the pump?

Cancer cells metabolize stuff faster than the rest of your body, so if you literally inject yourself with poison the cancer will hurt more as you literally go scorched earth on your body in the hope that the problem areas die before you do. Cancer patients get nauseated because their body has trouble purging all the dead tissue. Their hair falls out as their bodies find themselves unable to service their extremities (this results in numbness in their fingers and toes too).

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2019/05/13/tasty-store-bought-tomatoes-are-making-a-comeback/quote:The analysis also revealed a rare form of a gene that imparts tomato flavor to the fruit is missing in most modern, domesticated tomatoes. Yet, more than 90 percent of wild tomatoes have the flavor-punching version of the gene, the researchers report today in the journal Nature Genetics. Their analysis also shows that this flavor gene, called TomLoxC, uses carotenoids — the pigments that make tomatoes red — to make tomatoes tasty.

I once saw an $8 heirloom tomato and was like, "gently caress it, I'm going to find out." Three things stood out:
In comparison, regular tomatoes are bland, crunchy bricks of scaffolding. If they could fix tomatoes, it'd be a boon for GMO acceptance. Accretionist fucked around with this message at 05:37 on May 14, 2019 |

Got a couple tomato plants this spring from a teammate who ordered like 20 different varieties in some kind of bundle and didn't want them all. Tomato discussion here has me hoping that they'll taste substantially better than standard grocery store stuff.

The study I posted went on to say that molecule was found in 2%-7% of grocery tomatoes, and while timely, doesn't explain in any way how it is that I can take a seed from a flavorless grocery tomato variety, sprout it, put it in the sun, and harvest delicious tomatoes from it several months later, but I think we covered that with discussion about refrigeration.

Pretty sure it's because they're not actually ripe when they're picked and artificially gassed with ethylene to redness. Basically just compounding the problem.

Is it also because some of the genes for the grocery store breeds are recessive and just growing straight from seed means you'll get a wider range than cultivated ones? A dude living next to me had tomatoes and the way he seeded was stomping down the ones he didn't pick into the ground. He had weird off-color, misshapen tomatoes that tasted fantastic.

Yes that’s got to be it; I picked a green tomato off one of my plants last year right as the first snow was falling and sat it on a window sill in the sun for the next month until it reddened. Tasted like the no-flavor grocery kinds, maybe a slight bit better

More than that, lots of plants are just cuttings and are just copies of the same exact plant, and don't grow from seeds at all normally.
