Being trained by trained professionals doesn't make you a trained professional.

Funny things are changing I have been using psychedelics to treat my bipolar as well as PTSD. The rehab and governments take on it that it's a gateway drug and or you are using it to bridge addiction ( I disagree with them) because it got me to go from drinking every day but just having a few beers on a Holiday.

In general, it has a low tolerance. It's kind of like sleep deprivation torture for me so it's a lose lose.

Reply to Adding 1 ounce (28.35 g) of walnuts to the usual dietary intake of no-nut consumers improved the diet quality among children, adolescents, and adults. by ludwig_scientist
While big walnut does appear to have written this, nuts/seeds do in fact rock. Lots of healthy fats, good amount of protein, good amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and possibly some polyphenols. The biggest issue for some people will be the amount of calories or fats, otherwise nuts/seeds are awesome. Kind of like the sibling to fruits and veggies which doesn't get as much attention.

Table 1 is all over the place, which is my point.
Running t-tests on the continuous variables gives very highly significant differences for age, cholesterol, TAGs, HDL, LDL, HbA1c, a small significant difference for BMI, and nearly significant for creatine and insulin.
Take age, the very first item in the table, which is reported as p=0.26. But, it's actually p<0.0001!
Yes, I know some could probably usea non-parametric test, but 1) we only have summary data, 2) they don't say what they used for their p value calculations, 3) I get the same as them for two of the variables using t tests.
These extreme p values are not values you expect, at all, in a true randomised trial: either 1) it is not randomised/randomisation failed; 2) it was initially randomised and these massive differences are caused by them excluding n=3 from the placebo group and n=1 from the intervention group for this table, in which case the fact they've done their analysis in the PP analysis in such clearly different populations makes it not worth bothering with nad not randomised; 3) something more nefarious.
By my reckoning, the only p values for continuous variables that are correct in table 1 are HOMA2-IR and fasting glucose!

It’s been stifled for a long time so it makes sense there’s a boom in research as policies loosen

It is by me. I've got 100% compliance over the last five months, with an average AHI of 3 using my cpap, and every single day I wake up feeling horrible, and still get drowsy during the day.

It's totally anecdotal, but a particularly unpleasant psylicibin trip prompted me to quit drinking.
I haven't had a drink in almost a decade.

I'd just like one less thing I have to plug in. It sucks that the first thing I have to do when checking in to a hotel is see where the plugs are so I can figure out which side of the bed I have to sleep on and/or if the plug is on the same side as the night stand so I don't have to put it on the ground.

I 100% agree. Anecdotal data does not prove anything in the general sense. In this particular instance to anecdotal data correlates with the experimental data.

I actually work in neuroscience/psychiatry research and I do not see this "weed-fixes-all" research. I am very open to the idea of cannabis being effective for many medical indications but the evidence isn't there, and plenty of it is negative. Are you sure you're not mistaking overstated in vitro work and medical hypotheses-level reviews posted on this subreddit by mouth breathers, with actual evidence for efficacy in medical illness is humans?
This is a phase I double-blind, randomized controlled trial. This is fairly strong in-human evidence. As it stands there is evidence from observational studies that obesity is less common among chronic, frequent cannabis users so a metabolic effect like this would not be unprecedented per se.

My preferred mask is a nasal pillow, which I use 95% of the time. But when I get allergies or colds that cause stuffy noses, I use the full face mask that covers my mouth, too.
But, if I could take a medication to handle my apnea, I'd be down for that.

So confirming the research from the 50s and 60s when LSD was a prescribed treatment for alcoholism.
Fun fact: jfk allegedly dropped acid recreationally on one occasion.

Very much by me.
Tried 5 different masks over 15 months. Never a good night's sleep.
Absolutely horrible.

Check out joyous- it’s like $130 a month and includes dr consult and daily ketamine. No need to wait or stay on meds that don’t help.
