AbsurdNarrative

Trees release invisible chemicals into the air to protect themselves from bugs and disease. Turns out those same chemicals also switch on your body's cancer-fighting cells. They're called natural killer cells. They're a type of white blood cell that patrols your bloodstream looking for cancer cells and virus-infected cells. When they find one, they punch a hole through its outer wall and inject proteins that force the cell to self-destruct from the inside. You're born with them. Unlike most of your immune system, they don't need to be "trained" on a specific threat first. They just attack anything that looks wrong. The 50% number in this tweet comes from Dr. Qing Li at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, who has been studying the effects of forests on the human body since 2004. His original 2007 study took 12 men on a 3-day, 2-night forest trip, walking two hours a day. Blood tests showed 11 of 12 had roughly 50% more cancer-killing cell activity afterward. A follow-up with 13 female nurses found the same thing. But the part the tweet leaves out: the boost didn't vanish when they went home. It lasted over 7 days in both groups, and in men, it was still detectable in blood work 30 days later. Li's conclusion is that one forest trip per month could keep these cells running at a higher level year-round. The obvious next question is whether it's the forest itself or just the vacation. Li tested this directly. A separate group took a city tourist trip with the same amount of walking. No boost to killer cells. No stress hormone drop. Zero effect. Then he ran an even more controlled test: 12 men stayed in a regular Tokyo hotel room for three nights while a humidifier pumped tree oil (from Japanese cypress) into the air overnight. Their killer cells still went up. Their stress hormones still dropped. That isolates the cause to those tree chemicals, called phytoncides. Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release the most. These chemicals were found in forest air but were nearly absent in city air. A 2021 lab study showed that one of these tree chemicals directly switches on killer cells and slows colon tumor growth in mice. The bigger picture connects these cells directly to cancer risk. An 11-year study published in The Lancet (one of the world's top medical journals) tracked 3,625 Japanese people and found that those with weaker natural killer cells developed cancer at significantly higher rates. A separate study screening for bowel cancer found that people with low killer cell levels were 7 times more likely to be diagnosed. Li's own research across all 47 regions of Japan showed that areas with less forest had higher cancer death rates for lung, breast, uterine, prostate, kidney, and colon cancers, even after accounting for differences in smoking rates and wealth. The caveats: Li's original studies used small groups (12 and 13 people), and the regional data show a pattern but don't directly prove that forests prevent cancer. No large-scale clinical trial has confirmed that yet. But the chain is consistent: trees release chemicals, those chemicals wake up the cells in your blood that kill cancer, the effect lasts weeks, not hours, and people with more active killer cells get cancer less often. Japan now has 65 government-certified Forest Therapy sites across the country, each tested and approved based on the physical effects they have on visitors.

@dantypo They've already said that, haven't they? That this alone would prevent women and black people from voting, lol.

Dems will tell you the Save Act is problematic for a whole host of reasons. But if Republicans simply stripped it down to “you must present an id to get a ballot, mail-in or in person” the Dems would still vote against it. I know it. You know it. They know it.

Incredible case studies show dietary interventions can dramatically improve mental health conditions. From a woman off antipsychotics for 6 years to schizophrenia patients reversing symptoms with a gluten-free diet, the link is undeniable. #MentalHealth #DietAndHealth #GlutenFree

@carvincannabis @Kevin_McKernan @DrJosefWD And look, in the end, he said I was probably lying about my own experience too,lol. So that's what I was addressing, that it happens at all, not numbers. Maybe it was a mistake to say it's not as uncommon as he wants it to be. That was a poor choice of words for my actual point.

@AbsurdNarrative @Kevin_McKernan @DrJosefWD An individual experience, even a severe one, doesn’t tell us prevalence. That’s exactly why we rely on population data instead of anecdotes.

Two hits. That's all it took. Bryn Spejcher tried cannabis for the first time, took two hits of a high potency product, and within minutes believed she was in hell and had to kill someone to escape. She stabbed her boyfriend 108 times and remembers none of it. The court called it cannabis-induced psychotic disorder. The judge said she had no control. This is not hypothetical. This happened. Cannabis doubles your risk of violence in the general population. In psychiatric patients it's 2.5 times higher. That's not my opinion. That's a systematic review of 51 studies covering 200,000 people. The data exists. We just aren't talking about it.

@carvincannabis @Kevin_McKernan @DrJosefWD I was saying that cannabis alone can and does cause psychosis in some of us. If he wants to understand prevalence, he'll go find it. He doesn't. He wants to believe it doesn't happen at all, that alcohol or other factors are required. I was simply saying that's not the case.

@BunnyandThorton @MrRunon @BasedSamParker Which is a shame, actually, because he had a lot of wisdom to share. He opened my eyes to a lot of things I hadn't thought of. You shouldn't let differences like that close you off that way.

@MrRunon @AbsurdNarrative @BasedSamParker i ignored much of what Charlie had to say all those years because he was so staunchly pro-Zionist.

One thing (of many) that has bothered me about the Charlie Kirk narrative was his lack of "success" with women. Stay with me here. Charlie Kirk was a 6'5" athlete, with a good intellect & normie-tier politics. Maybe not the best looking guy, but it's not like his cupboard was bare. Women like tall men of influence. He basically spent about 7 years at a single guy hanging around exclusively college kids, becoming the most popular college influencer in America & building real power. The guy was friends with many powerful, rich, connected people. He was the ideal man for legions of women. He should have had girls THROWING themselves at him. He should have had his pick of women. We should have heard stories about who Charlie Kirk was dating. Gossip. Rumors. Etc. He was a certified, bona-fide 20s-something American hero celebrity. But that's not how it all went down. Instead, we heard there were no girlfriends. That he was a virgin until Erika (good for him if true, btw). No sexual encounters, whatsoever—which, if the rumors about many others in TPUSA are to be believed—is extremely anomalous! He was allegedly surrounded by all kinds of people who were sexually active—gay and straight alike! TPUSA is filled with college coeds for its ambassadors. Smart girls, hot girls, motivated girls, calculating girls, politically connected girls, etc. Girls with multiple combinations of those traits. Yet Charlie spurned every single one? Couldn't land even one single girlfriend? Didn't have one fling? Never once got his groove on? Never once succumbed to the horde of women beating down his door? And then, when he did get married at 27, it was to a 32-year old woman. No offense, ladies, but I was once in my 20s. And men in their mid 20s see women in their 30s as ancient. Old as the hills. Washed up. Why marry a 32-year old when you can snag a 22-year old? That's like a 10-year warranty! This is how the vast majority of men in their 20s think. And Charlie had no shortage of access to women in their early 20s. It's weird. And on top of that, the woman he married hadn't been able to maintain a relationship herself into her 30s. That alone is a major red flag for men. Not to mention the many alleged lies she's told. IMO, she lies a lot. About everything. Surely Charlie would have picked up on that. It's really unattractive. People say Charlie had no game. But the "Bob's Burgers" story where he straight up told her he wanted to date her, not hire her, was a total Chad move. I'm sorry, but something about the Charlie Kirk story just isn't adding up for me. I honestly don't know what, but the math ain't mathing. Am I the only one?

Clueless spring breakers think England fought France in the CIVIL WAR, the USA is a CONTINTENT, Spain bombed Pearl Harbor, slavery was abolished in 1962, and 9/11 was in 2012... but they ALL know who sang the halftime show and who Taylor Swift is engaged to! 🤣

This is why improving flexibility isn’t always about stretching harder. Sometimes it’s about activating the right muscles at the right time.

@lesliebishop @BasedSamParker Yes. He said so in more than one of his videos. He also struggled with anger.

@AbsurdNarrative @BasedSamParker He was a porn addict?

@DittyWhitney @BasedSamParker I know. I dont know what to male of that. One thing though, is they all traveled in political circles so it's not crazy that they crossed paths. But I get what you're saying and I don't know what to think.

@AbsurdNarrative @BasedSamParker Does it seem to match Charlie’s character to decided he loved this woman out of nowhere without finding anything out about her past? He is in a picture playing basketball with one of her exes not long before they started dating.

@polarityperfect Men telling where women are coming from. Oh, that's new! 🙄🙄🙄 You're wrong.

It's not rape exactly they are after, that's just an easy label to slap on the desire. They want plausibly deniable situations created for them by a 'bad boy' who knows what he's doing. Then she can fully express herself sexually without social repercussion. The 'rape' label is slapped on this desire because being raped implies it wasn't their fault (which it wouldn't be) so they get to avoid the 'slut' label as they had no say in it. But if you can give a woman a discreet and fun opportunity to be 'slutty' with you, without anyone having to know, then the same desire is achieved for her...

@SEpilogueG @BasedSamParker Big time! When she looked at him and said, "Wow!" And said she wouldn't be able to focus if she had to sit next to him...it was just too much. Way over the top. But I get why it made him feel good.

@AbsurdNarrative @BasedSamParker Og definitely. Everyone crying about their lost love, faening over her theatrics. I saw a hunter looking at their prey in that video.

@MrRunon @BasedSamParker True.

@AbsurdNarrative @BasedSamParker And yet he was right with the zionists. Nothing about Charlie made real sense to me. I've given up trying to figure it out. We already know Israel killed Charlie and Erika is a fake witch. I guess that's what I'll have to be content with

@jackmoses777 @AKuzfgujgtzz Whats the disappointment look like when you have to see a woman as a unique, imperfect individual who has flaws and does shit that you don't like, and won't change bc you think she should, or even bc SHE thinks she should? Idealization is one step in the wrong direction, always.

@AKuzfgujgtzz In their purest state - they are.

The divine masculine sees every woman as his friend or sister before he sees her as a romantic interest. Even further, he sees her as a pure, innocent child before he labels her as an adult. This is the art of seeing clearly — the highest expression of masculinity.

This girl got on that post and said “ what’s so good about your hair growth serum “ GIRL this baby had alopecia went to a dermatologist that told her she would lose 99% of her hair Her parents found me I sent them my product and that baby has a head full of hair now .. That’s what’s so good .. These are not ordinary results I’m sorry! Shop the brand ✨ kinkleco.com/products/stren…

@CieloBonit Use .5 cc per 100 pounds. I give it to my dog that had heart worms and skin cancer. He no longer has either. I used it when I got flu/covid and was better in 2-3 days.

Hey Moms, When Democrats were in power, they literally used the CIA to identify you as extremist threats because you amplify narratives that they don’t like (the truth). Never forget that’s how they see you.

We need a reunion of sorts where we lock all the podcast war people in a room with a mediator who won’t let anyone leave until everyone stops the TMZ soap opera BS. We’re powerful when we’re united (look at 2024) and weak when we’re divided. The current environment is untenable unless you want to live in a communist woke hellhole. I’m happy to moderate and hide the keys until everyone stops and gets back on the same page about saving our country from woke lunatics. Bonus @elonmusk could stream it on X but I’m keeping the door locked until there’s some kind of treaty to end this. Seriously though, what’s playing out is straight up evil at work to drive a stake in the heart of our movement to save this country from woke communists. We had (and maybe still have) a generational opportunity to save this country. Everyone needs to get it together and stop acting like this is a fun soap opera. It’s not. Go talk to people who’ve survived leftist regimes and ask how funny they find this ridiculous behavior. It’s not entertaining, it’s suicidal.

@BasedSamParker I remember a video where he talked about not drinking, not partying, not sleeping around. Not giving into the temptations that we're all vulnerable to, &encouraged men especially to have self control, have standards, and be different. Damn, I miss charlie. This world needed him.

@AbsurdNarrative Yes many women would find him attractive and make advances towards him. P0rn would not preclude him from hooking up. If anything, it would probably make it more likely.
