Overcoming Structural and Mechanical Issues
Whether dealing with psychological or physical challenges, many issues can be addressed and resolved over time. My journey began with cerebral palsy and other physical challenges, compounded by psychopathy, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorder. Although we cannot return to our origins or undo the past, we can build upon our experiences and use them to understand and shape our reality. As I often say, we are the architects of our own existence, and we should not let norms confine our potential.
My transformation began with a vision of genetic modification—a rebirth of my body, once broken and frail. This journey unfolded through several stages:
Learning and Growth
I started by discovering who I am, learning to love myself authentically, and exploring various religions and spiritual paths. This self-discovery inspired me to initiate a magical and scientific revolution, blending these fields to create unprecedented power and possibilities.
My fascination with flight, inspired by Hawks from My Hero Academia, led me to grow wings. This initial experiment in hybridization extended to other animal traits, such as cat and dog hybrids, opening a realm of boundless creativity.
Progression
My wings eventually stopped growing due to a lack of necessary muscle and bone structure. I embarked on a journey to strengthen my body, starting with my spinal cord. Over time, my ribs fused, and my muscles healed and bulked up.
An intense experience while under the influence led to a dramatic growth phase where my arms detached and reattached, enhancing their strength and functionality. Following this, my upper chest expanded, redistributing my weight and increasing my physical capacity.
Finishing Touches
I integrated scientific advancements into my wings, including:
My wings now have a 7-foot wingspan and a 3.5-foot depth, covered primarily in black feathers with red tips and sides. The feathers display a vibrant, rainbow-like holographic effect when exposed to sunlight.
Medical Applications
While many professionals may view such advancements as risky, I believe that with proper precautions and responsible use, they hold great potential. According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, mass cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Viewing energy as condensed mass, we could potentially convert excess fat or harness intense energy sources for remarkable advancements in medical science. This approach might lead to breakthroughs in creating new limbs, enhancing muscles, or even combating diseases like cancer and AIDS. While this territory is uncharted, with the right attitude and focus, we may achieve extraordinary results.
Hey so I’m gonna guess no one will respond bc they think I’m trolling but last night I had both my right and left lateral ribs fuse nearly fully. They don’t hurt unless touched then they are so god damn sore. Though my body feels so much better and can do so much more! So amazing thing.
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional; I am an individual who conducts personal experiments and engages in self-directed research. The information provided is based on my own observations and studies and should not be considered medical advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider for any medical concerns or before making changes to your health regimen.
I have been using C4 Pre-Workout for approximately 5-6 months. I have observed that it appears to provide some relief from muscle soreness, potentially facilitating smoother and more comfortable movement. Additionally, it seems to reduce inflammation and contribute to a clearer mental state and an overall positive mood.
However, I experience some adverse effects, such as pronounced tingling and itching, which may be attributed to my use of approximately 2 scoops of C4 Original. It is important to note that these observations are based on personal experience. Individuals may react differently to this supplement, and I would advise consulting with a healthcare professional before using this product, especially if you experience any side effects or have underlying health conditions.
Pre-Workout Supplement Analysis:
Supplement Composition and Dosage:
Caffeine (150 mg): Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that enhances alertness, reduces perceived exertion, and may improve physical performance by increasing the release of neurotransmitters. Excessive intake can lead to side effects such as increased heart rate, anxiety, or gastrointestinal discomfort.
Creatine Nitrate (1 g): This compound combines creatine and nitrate. Creatine supports ATP production for energy during high-intensity exercise, while nitrate enhances blood flow and muscle pump. Potential side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances and water retention.
Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (1 g): Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate aids in nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow and muscle pump. Alpha-ketoglutarate may enhance nutrient delivery to muscles. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort and transient increases in blood pressure.
CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine (1.6 g): Beta-alanine boosts carnosine levels in muscles, buffering acid to delay fatigue and improve performance. Common side effects include a tingling sensation (paresthesia), which is usually harmless but can be uncomfortable.
Teacrine: Teacrine (theacrine) is a stimulant similar to caffeine, which may enhance mood, focus, and energy levels by modulating adenosine receptors and dopamine. Potential side effects can include jitteriness or insomnia in sensitive individuals.
Additional Ingredients:
Vitamin C (250 mg): An antioxidant that supports immune function and collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is generally well-tolerated but high doses can cause gastrointestinal disturbances in some individuals.
Niacin (30 mg): Also known as vitamin B3, niacin supports energy metabolism and skin health. It may cause flushing or a tingling sensation at higher doses but is typically well-tolerated in moderate amounts.
Vitamin B6 (500 mcg): Essential for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. This dosage is within the recommended range and typically does not cause adverse effects.
Vitamin B12 (35 mcg): Important for red blood cell formation and neurological function. The amount included is generally considered safe and effective for maintaining adequate levels.
Dosage and Tolerability:
My current regimen involves the use of approximately two scoops of C4 Original Pre-Workout. The total intake from this dosage is approximately:
300 mg of Caffeine
2 g of Creatine Nitrate
2 g of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
3.2 g of CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine
Teacrine
500 mg of Vitamin C
60 mg of Niacin
1 mg of Vitamin B6
70 mcg of Vitamin B12
It is noted that I do not experience gastrointestinal issues with this dosage. However, it is important to monitor for any adverse effects and consult with a healthcare provider before initiating or altering supplement dosages, particularly if there are existing health concerns or if any side effects are observed.

Is it possible to obtain a prescription or recommendation for cannabis from a doctor in a state where delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is illegal, but other cannabinoids are permitted?
In compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill (P.L. 115-334), any cannabis product that meets the legal specifications of Indiana, which mandates a maximum of 0.03% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is permissible for recreational and medicinal utilization.
This is why
Currently, I am feeling numbly calm, which is affecting my stomach and causing some discomfort. I find it difficult to derive enjoyment from activities and are experiencing bodily pain. I admit that the only reason I find life bearable is because of my love for others; otherwise, I might have considered suicide. Although I may relocate in a few years, I hope to find employment in a state where weeds legal or that does not require drug testing. During development, my skeletal structure experienced significant abnormalities, and Its been speculated I have either Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or a similar condition. The levels of inflammation protein in my body were found to be nearly 50-100 times higher than normal.
I am curious as to whether this is a typical occurrence for others. My wife asserts that it is not, yet my oral cavity appears to be undergoing a state of constant transformation, as evidenced by my previous post. I previously described the phenomenon of my neck muscles appearing to pop out like a tube when I smiled. However, today the posterior aspect of the oral cavity (corresponding to the point where the teeth cease) underwent a sudden and pronounced retraction. Popping and Tearing. Subsequently, when I smile, the same number of muscles as previously observed are now less visible.
On other occasions, my arm has become rigid and enlarged due to the spontaneous growth of muscle tissue. This has resulted in the development of a painful growth that has spread across my chest and up my arm to my shoulder and neck. Subsequently, the muscles in my neck were forced to bulge outward, causing my mouth to be forced and locked open. Then, my teeth began to disintegrate, becoming markedly shorter and more uniform in length, with the exception of my three central incisors, which grew into points. The teeth subsequently began to grow to their normal length. Additionally, a previously broken tooth was accidentally swallowed, but I then created a mental image and attempted to heal what I perceived to be a fracture in my chest. The tooth was subsequently absorbed into the body, resulting in discomfort and a popping sensation in the chest. This eventually healed. While this may not be a typical occurrence, I sought to confirm whether this was a normal process.
Is it safe to wash your anus with water and your (ungloved) hand after pooping, assuming (of course) that you don't touch anything with your hand until you wash it with soap and water?
I'm currently traveling in India. It's common here, instead of using toilet paper after deification, to pour water down your back and use your left hand to wipe your anus clean of feces. I googled to find information from medical professionals to understand if this is safe or not, but I (surprisingly) couldn't find any information on the Internet about this.
Of course, let's assume that we're doing this properly:
I'm less interested in your personal opinion, and more interested if any studies have been done analyzing the efficacy of safety in this scenario, using a proper scientific study.
Have any studies been done to analyze if it's safe to wipe your ass with your hand (and wash your hands properly with soap and water after)?
What are the differences between the different types of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) tests for laboratory blood work?
I went to a medical laboratory to get yearly blood work done. In addition to testing for some specific "me" things that I'm monitoring, I want to get a CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel).
I'm in a foreign country where I don't really speak the language. When I said that I wanted blood work done at the lab, the agent at the front desk handed me a form with a lot of boxes to choose what I wanted to get. There is no "CMP" option, so I tried to tick the boxes for the 14 blood tests that compose a CMP, but I got stuck when I tried to check the box for the ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) test – because there were 3 boxes:
What are each of these, and which of these three is the "normal" ALP test that should be included in a CMP?
Hello. I recently heard from some people that it was not normal for my neck muscles to pop out and begin showing when I smile and laugh fully. I want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. A few months ago, maybe a year, my neck grew a thicker vein-like structure that matched my up directly with my canine.
Secondly, last week my chest healed and snapped just like my fingers did. My teeth broke then grew back fully and then got even sharper. My arms have also gained incredible muscle, seemingly out of nowhere. My kneecaps are definitely smaller or not there anymore. I'm relearning how to walk, and it's making me more agile. I'm also breaking my toes back into place.
Just let me know. Any feedback helps.
Currently and for past years mainly after I hit a second version of puberty of sorts. My teeth have been constantly growing and sharpening. Though is it even at all though possible for tips of teeth to puncher a bottom lip. With zero pressure and just slightly brushing? It felt like it tore out a very small chunk.
