|    Countercurrent flow gets rid of frostbit    |
|    07 Sep 22 19:59:09    |
      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com               penguins have coumtercurrent flow vasculature at their feet and can stand on       ice and swim in 32-33° water without getting frostbite, that is a guide to       the genetics of countercurrent flow, make it so human skin maintains its       beauty and ceramic-like mm        smooth translucent white appearance while having skin and deeper tissue       vasculature do countercurrent flow, that along with making people not sense       aversive cold, but continue to enjoy coolness benefits people, I may have read       there is a specific skin        sensor for cold, genetically engineering that to be less responsive also       non-aversive is beneficial, it could also be engineered to produce peptides       other cytes can sense to cause a more optimal reaction to cold              Making it so people, that is persons, that is humans, that is homo sapiens can       stand outside in the wind, rain, and wet snow comfortably while nude and       having only scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, people without feeling cold       would physiologically        sense it was below 79 (nude) degrees, and as useful would utilize       14,000-20,000 or even more calories a day producing sufficient body warmth       such that submerging them in a 32° ice bath felt neutral or pleasant like a       tepid bath and could be continued        beyond 72 hours to indefinitely, this could be accomplished with several       technological physiological genetic enhancements to people, that is persons,       that is humans, that is homo sapiens triple to sixteen times multiply the       number of mitochondria per        cyte then turn 2/3 to 15/16 of them off if it is not cold, some chemicals like       ribose and I think NR cause notably larger amounts of mitochondria to form,       better endogenously produced chemicals could be found that cause a 3-16 times       increase in the        number of mitochondria and the body's systems that, to my perception tell       mitochondria how much energy to make could be linked to adjusted cyte       communications networks or a very basic cybernetic system produced, like, with       all cytes having continuous        ability to detect an AMPK up regulating peptide, If the cold sensing cytes at       the dermis produce AMPK peptide 200% the usual circulating amount Then       activate the other 2-15 mitochondria that were not being used, this causes       mitochondria to activate        within 1-2 minutes of experiencing cold but has sufficient latitude to avoid       the effect if just eating ice cream, one human response to cold that already       exists is mitochondrial uncoupling, where the mitochondria omit making ATP and       just make warmth, the        2-15 extra mitochondria per cyte could have this as their standard mode, or if       preferred could be responsive to ATP utility at the body (perhaps the person       wants to swim fast in ice water or go running through freezing rain), excess       AMPK activating        peptide supports longevity, and purposeful mitochondrial uncoupling at c       elegans doubles their longevity so variations activating these systems are       likely to be beneficial, cytes internal to the body like vascular cytes could       produce a peptide if the        body got above 98.7 °F, when cytes sensed that peptide they would reduce       mitochondrial warmth activation and the two systems would maintain well       comfortable body temperature even if the person went from an ice bath or       freezing rain to indoors or even a        warm bath              GABA peptides prevent heatstroke, I perceive that 2019 persons feeling tired,       or even feeling unwell and losing consciousness from temperatures over 85°F       is a prompt to reduce motion, reducing the risk of heatstroke, a       technologically physiologically        improved way to respond to warmth is genetically engineering people, that is       homo sapiens, to make a sudden release of endogenous anxiolytic, cheerfulness       producing, and at higher doses sleep or unconsciousness producing GABA       peptides, thesecould make        people too silly to do physical activities if it was too warm out, and if they       reach a body temperature of 99.7 degrees would lose consciousness and sleep,       reducing the body's other feelings of things being too warm is then       beneficial, notably the        perspiration response would continue, The GABA peptide amount would ramp up       giving the person three minutes to find shelter (perhaps from the sun) or cool       off rapidly when they first noted the pleasant benzodiazepene like effects of       the GABA peptides              Genetically engineering people so body positions (perhaps harmless leg       bouncing for three minutes, "foots alseep" (goes numb) for three minutes, or       biting down hard, continuously for two minutes (but not chewing) releases       beneficial medications, a        breathing pattern or biting hard for two minutes releases mu opiod peptides       making childbirth or injuries feel harmless              Energy technology       A common plant that when dried, ground up, and soaked in alcohol, the       supernatant or bottom material dried produces a material that produces       photovoltaic electricity when applied as a dippable film on a metal surface       and either has metal contacts placed        on it or drawn with a conductive ink pen or metal ink pen is beneficial
