There’s a good documentary on Netflix about them. I’d really like to start eating Lion’s Mane but I fucking hate mushrooms so much, so I’m gonna try a pill form :sigh:

It's well worth it, I can assure ya. Been taking the caps for the better part of the last 2 yrs or so, it makes a difference

I take every single one of the Real Mushrooms products. I order once every six months and they do a crazy deal for me that ends up being like 40% off. If you send them an email, they'll do it for you, too.

I just started taking the tremella product this month for the first time.

Something I learned is the simple concept of cycling. Instead of taking the same thing every day, the concept tells you to break it up and take days off. You not only save money but the substance becomes more effective.

Here is the deal if you are between the ages 45 to 50 then it's time to put the big boy britches on and go get a colonoscopy. Why? Well because it has the potential to save your life and it's not that big of a deal. I had my first this year and I had put it off for several years but my wife wouldn't quit riding me about it and my doctor finally told me it wasn't an option, so I did it.

Well, they found 6 polyps and one of them was precancerous so it was a dang good thing I did it. How serious was the precancerous one? Now, I've got to get another one in a year to see if it comes back so it's a concern. The doctor said I came at the right time because if I had gone a couple of more years I very well could have had cancer and had to deal with everything that comes with it.

I consider myself lucky (even though my butt is going to get probed yearly for the next couple of years) and I'm glad I did it. If you haven't done then just bite the bullet and go do it because it so much easier to take care of an issue in the early stages then it is to wait and deal with full-blown cancer. I don't have a history of cancer in my family and I don't have any kind of colon problems in my family either so I thought it was a big waste of time. I was wrong so whatever excuse you have for not doing it forget that and just do it.

Be healthy.

I had mine Friday and had an identical result. The doc was concerned about cancer during the scope, but we just got the biopsy results back and it came back pre-cancerous. I'll need to do another procedure in short order to have the mass completely removed.

There is a history of digestive issues on both sides of my family, though; and I've already dealt with some relatively minor issues myself, so I had every intention of getting one done at 45. I also had them scope me from the other end Friday to analyze me through my stomach to small intestine. They did three biopsies in the stomach but those three came back pretty clean.

I'm glad you had it done because it sounds like if you had waited 5 years it could have been a massive medical issue.

@Peter Gozintite you're next so don't be a pussy and go get a colonoscopy.
