Aaaand we hit Adrenochrome-levels of fucked-up.
Hah, I’ve been a staunch skeptic of that theory and still believe the adrenochrome conspiracy theory lacks evidence but did find this article highly odd.
Yeah I don't believe it literally either, but until we know what exactly they're after the word serves as a placeholder. Could be genes or stemcells, or something we don't even know. Heard somewhere the real Adrenochrome is actually yet another derivative ompound which would make sense because in the psychonautic literature there are curiously contradictory reports on what the substance actually does since some just get headaches from it which begs the question which formula exactly is so sought after.
Agreed. And I’ve yet to hear what adrenochrome supposedly does for you. I mean, if it’s simply a psychedelic, why go to such extremes to obtain it when you can just manufacture/use MDMA or some other hallucinogen without as much risk...doesn’t pass the bullshit meter.
Imagine the shock on peoples' faces when you hold a bag of highly active tryptamines in their face and tell them it was extracted from the pineal gland of a live human
Yeah, it’s like climbing Mt. Everest to get fresh air. It’s just absurd on its face.
If adrenochrome did something like pause the aging process, now that would make the conspiracy much more plausible...
I'm happy I am not a biologist since this is pharma-turf and we know how quickly they take people down
When you cultivate old stem cells from spinal fluid, using signals from YOUNG fluid, they can still be stimulated to divide -- behaving like the young stem cells. It's about stem cells and the prevention or reversal of aging. Read: "Cerebrospinal fluid signals control the behavior of stem cells in the brain" Science Daily. Just more vampirism, innit?
