   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
