Soap Scum posted:i'm with you on that. a lot of my "it's worth it for me to do it" stance on iota carrageenan specifically is that in addition to having imo the most convincing evidence of the nasal spray ingredients (not to say it's totally convincing!), it legit costs like $50 for a lifetime supply. like here's 100g of iota carrageenen from grainger for $35. add a few bucks for a spray bottle, maybe some time/utilities to do the sterile solution mixing, and that's all you need for literally years. does the Carrageenan goop accumulate in the lungs or does it drip into the gastrointestinal tubes? i was hyped on some of the research on an effective prophylactic nasal spray, but i saw there’s been a long history of a questionable safety profile with carrageenans as a food additive. this website summarizes some of the history: https://www.cornucopia.org/researcher-bias-carrageenan-controversy/ Thomson AW & Fowler EF. (1981) “Carrageenan: a review of its effects on the immune system.” Agents and Actions, 11:265–273. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01967625 Carrageenans (kappa, lambda and iota) can markedly suppress immune responses both in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism responsible for carrageenan-induced immune suppression is believed to be its selective cytopathic effect on macrophages. This property of carrageenan has led to its adoption as a tool for analyzing the role of these cells in the induction and expression of immune reactivity. Author affiliations: Department of Pathology, University of Aberdeen (Aberdeen, Scotland, UK) and the Department of Histopathology, St Bartholomew’s Hospital (London, UK) Tobacman JK, Walters KS. 2001. “Carrageenan-induced inclusions in mammary myoepithelial cells.” Cancer Detect Prev., 25(6):520-6. PMID: 12132872. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12132872/ The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the ultrastructural changes that occur in mammary myoepithelial cells (MMEC) following exposure in tissue culture to low concentrations of lambda-carrageenan, a sulfated polysaccharide commonly used as a food additive. Carrageenan appeared to enter the cells by membrane-associated endocytic vesicles and accumulate in endosomes and lysosomes. Unusual lamellar inclusions were identified within lysosomes of the MMEC, and lysosomal vacuolation arose in association with the inclusions. The observed changes appeared to lead to destruction of the MMEC by release of proteolytic enzymes from the distorted lysosomes, similar to the process observed in lysosomal storage diseases.

The system works, I guess. it loving sucks here, but we'll get by, hopefully

this show would be impossible to do in my province because the government stopped giving the public free pcr tests in January 2022 and free rat tests in April 2023. I actually looked for home tests for sale at a number of pharmacies around the city a little while ago and none of them had any in stock

Computer Serf posted:does the Carrageenan goop accumulate in the lungs or does it drip into the gastrointestinal tubes? Mucus and other goodies in the nose are eventually pushed to the throat, so we're eating our algae. One bottle of Flo Travel contains 32mg of iota carrageenan total, which is on the low end of what the average person consumes in a day.
