Id have to disagree with you on that. Those are added to rodent poison to affect calcium homeostasis and cause hypercalcemia, which has a synergistic effect with other compounds in the poison. The exact same thing would in theory happen to humans - except we have a far higher biomass and do go...

How so? Not saying I disagree, but in this particular case I dont see why an animal model is inappropriate. Even basic yeast have the same checkpoint and control mechanisms for cellular division at various stages, which relates to the study linking rate of tumour metastasis. A mouse model is...

Kind of feel like im butting in here since I dont know much about herbal medicine. Why was the fact the study was done on mice, and not on human females significant to you? Laboratory science has a long and succesful history of using animal models. Of course that does not automatically mean x...

Well im a bushcraft noob too, so you at least you don't have to worry about being the only one. Maybe if we get enough people together we can start our own section, the newbie corner - where there are guylines all over the place, tarps flapping in the wind, people sick from eating wild berries...

If I can play devils advocate to that, its also definately worth watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos. It was made in the 80s and mostly covers astronomy, but it also has various other bits about influential mathematicians, skeptical thinking, etc. Its a really well made series, and gives you a sense...

Great pics, I agree about it being addictive - although all of my early attempts were complete failures! I once spent about 3 hours carefully rolling incredibly thin strands of nettle fibre together, then rolling those together to build up a thicker piece of cordage. I went through about three...

Also this is a bushcraft board, probably the last place on earth youd find someone insulting Mr Mears. Most people probably have a carved wood effigy they keep under their beds and pray to it every night. Im a lot thinner than Ray but I get tired walking down the street to the cornershop :(

r00kie, I paid via paypal on the 13th april and got an email with my number on the 29th april.

I noticed this thread and found something I read a while back, about surviving / living homeless in a city Link I thought it was pretty interesting reading, its a summary of various tips someone put together through what was probably a long time being homeless. He heavily recommends having...

I feel a bit stupid asking this, but I paid £75 via the paypal link....what now? Do I have to post my contact details in a particular place? Thanks
