The Tears of Chinese eyes and Cryogenics .
Andre Willers
14 Jul 2013
Synopsis :
The glands in epicanthic folds exude chemicals that reduces
metabolic demands at mitochondrial level and switching to anaerobic metabolism
.
Discussion :
1.Why the eyes ?
Because these have to be exposed to extreme conditions if the
organism has to survive .
Your fingers will get frostbite before your eyes . Ever
wonder why ?
2.The rest is embarrassingly simple .
Isolate , analyse , reproduce .
3.High altitude climbing .
Slow-step . Standard Sherpa climbing technique .
Energy demand is decreased by reduction of number mitochondria
.
See NewScientist 15 June 2013 p39 “Out of thin air”
4.Cryogenics :
Compare the biochemicals in the tears of hibernating animals
and Tibetan tears .
The commonality will give a chemical that reduces mitochondrial
demand and prevents ice-crystals forming .
5.Obvious applications to people with impaired oxygen
functions , space travel . Tears of Cthulhu .
Have slow fun

Synopsis :
Why did Tibetan refugees survive
5000 yrs ago ?
Yaks and Rhodiola rosea enabled
short-term survival while ferocious natural selection altered the genome for
high-altitude utilization .
Discussion :
Yaks ate Rhodiola's (see Appendix A)
, root and branch .
Humans ate or drank yak milk after
churning and/or heating .
The Rhodiola's chemicals end up in
Tibetan Tea .
This would have an anti-anxiety
effect .
Which is why Tibetans and presumably
their cousins the Mongols are always described as cheerful in traveller's
accounts . An essential to survival in tough times .
But there are other adaptogens .
Look at the forbs and clovers .
This enabled a large enough
percentage of the high-plateau refugees to survive long enough to have
grandchildren . Since these were adaptogens , not stimulants , genome modifications
had to be made via selection . And fairly rapidly .
Hence the record on the human genome
history .
South America :
Here there was a different route to
high-altitude usage .
Coca Mate . Google it .
The coca plant co-evolved with
cultivation to make the higher areas habitable . There was not the same level
of adaptation of the genome as found in Tibet . The coca plant was too good at
it
The student of human historical
trivia might note that Java was the greatest exporting nation of coca-leaves
just prior to being outlawed in the mid-1800's .
The caffeine connection :
Tea , coffee , yerba , guarana .
The caffeine acts synergystically
with the stimulants and adaptogens , amplifying their effects .
Super Tea :
Make Tibetan tea , but substitute
coca-leaves for black tea .
This will certainly unify the two
branches , but with very unpredictable results at the individual level .
At a broader level , Super Tea
should reduce addiction quite considerably .
Adaptation to stimulants means that
pathways to reduce most of the addictive “Aha” effects get established .
Yak butter , cow butter and ghee .
It matters what the beastie ate
before making the milk .
Churning and heating seems to
concentrate the chemicals involved .
If your milk beastie has munched on
Rhodiola rosea , clovers , milkweed , belladonna , jimsons weed , etc , you
might expect these effects in varying degrees .
I have no idea about goats , but
suspect that it will vary with the breed .
Milking mountain goats is only for
the fleet-footed .

Appendix A
“Rhodiola rosea may be effective for
improving mood and alleviating depression. Pilot studies on human subjects[2][3][4] showed that it improves physical and mentalperformance, and may reduce fatigue.
“
Similar to coca-leaves in South
America .
“Rhodiola is included among a class of plant
derivatives called adaptogens which differ from chemical stimulants, such as nicotine, and do not have the same physiologicaleffects.
