Can't describe it exactly, but it's like being transported to another dimension for a few seconds, then there is pain, then there is relief and then a nice warm feeling in the belly.
I am addicted to hot peppers. What I do in the morning is get one Scotch Bonnet (or two smaller ones), two oranges, lime and a piece of ginger into a cold press and then drink it in one go.

The red hot chilli peppers are also good against depression so I'm not surprised
"Researchers have developed", yeah. When I read such things, I always recall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimerox - this thing promised wonders - very broad spectrum, very low toxicity - and, most importantly, it was targeting a conservative essential protein - so nearly zero resistance. And there were no updates for more than a decade. Something developed in a lab is something we, most likely, will never see - and…
One thing bugs me though - why don't other countries with different research structures pick this up and run with it?

We also recently (we think) discovered why acupuncture works. That form of medicine from 4000 years ago...
There’s also electroacupuncture, which is gaining popularity in physical therapy clinics in the US. > Like traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture uses needles placed in the same spots. Then, a small electrode is attached to the needles. A small amount of electricity runs through the electrode and gives a slight vibration or soft hum during treatment. (1) Since they use the same spots as traditional acupuncture e…

Do you happen to have a source for that? I’d love to check it.
It's the New York Times article that's linked to in this HN post about “the Interstitium”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48095536

They also did an episode about rapamycin that I thought was really cool. I had no idea the history of it and found it fascinating and it really gets the imagination going thinking about what other things are hidden all around us.

This story actually checks out, which is quite the condemnation of our American drug development system. One thing bugs me though - why don't other countries with different research structures pick this up and run with it?
I would think there are pharma teams in China or India, maybe even Russia that could replicate and further develop something like this, given the initial paper and PR.

I too am addicted to hot peppers. But doesn't this... IDK, it seems like it would mess up my stomach or esophagus lining or something. All that acid and capsaicin on an empty stomach?
