Publicity stunt, maybe. Just a very dedicated one for something that's supposed to be a quick pnd.
 
Looks like total supply is decreasing steadily. McAfee's token doing its thing, whatever it is.

The first (Cyanocobalamin) is just vitamin B12 in synthetic form (usually we get it from food).


He's taking 5000mcg, I take 10,000mcg. People have done research in to it and found it practically impossible to overdose on this. Some people take 50,000mcg for things like depression. It is absorbed as well by the body in tablet form, as by injection, the latest research suggests. Though there may be some doubt about that. Vegans and Vegetarians and Alcoholics MUST supplement with this. Alcohol really fucks with your intrinsic factor so you don't absorb as much B-12; and it depletes many other vitamins: Zinc, Magnesium, and B1 (Thiamine). Thiamine is a must have as well for alkies. This is why McAfee takes it.

5000-10000mcg of B12 really puts a spring in your step and is best taken in morning on an empty stomach. Most people tolerate it very well, but there are a long list of rare adverse reactions. Start off on a very low dose and work up from there. I had a deficiency in it. When I worked out what it was I took massive doses of it in oral form and was better within 48 hours. Your body needs it. You can die without it: pernicious anemia. In olden days they would give women with it a couple of pounds of raw chopped liver. B12 is stored in the body, mainly in the liver IIRC. This is why eat meaters who don't drink don't need to take it.

Vitamin B-12 is water-soluble, but unlike other water-soluble vitamins, it’s stored in the body -- mainly the liver -- for many months or more before it becomes unusable or gets flushed out. According to Christina Dye of the Do It Now Foundation, chronic consumption of alcohol tends to drain the body's stores of critical nutrients such as B vitamins. Alcohol consumption also increases your risk of liver disease and inflammation -- also referred to as cirrhosis -- which may also impact the storage or utilization of B-12.

There is another form called methylcobalamin which some new research says is a superior form. I think this is the one they inject now when you have a serious deficiency or pernicious anemia. My ex has a form of this and she needs injections every few months. She is a meat eater and never drinks. You can also buy supplements of this form. I haven't tried it. The form I take (which McAfee takes) works like a wonder drug for me so I don't need to try anything else.

This makes for interesting reading: https://plantbasedscotty.com/is-vitamin-b12-dosage-5000-mcg-safe/

Few people get pernicious anemia these days but alcoholic vegans are a high risk group. B12 defficiency can cause permananent damage and even though B12 reverses a lot of the symptoms if they aren't too bad, you still might need to supplement for life. Your nerves, your blood cells, your brain really need this to function properly and it's easy to run out of it. I would advise against taking mega doses of it long term, because it's possible there may be some adverse affects; we just don't know. I take it for a few months or when I'm drinking then lay off it for a bit. It stores up in my liver and all my blood tests come back good. Not a single deficiency of any vitamin.

There can be serious side effects for some people so use caution when starting off and I'd definitely consult a doctor before taking the kind of amounts that I and McAfee take. Most people would benefit from just a 1000-3000mcg of it, if they were in the 'at risk' category. It's fairly inexpensive as well. It really helps with depression as well.

B12 acts as a cofactor in synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, thus B12 deficiency affects mood, emotions and sleeping and can lead to psychiatric disorders.

I had terrible brain fog when I was low on it. Almost dementia like forgetfulness. This went after a day or two of the high dosage supplements I took. This is why I call it a wonderdrug. It's not really, it's just essential for your body to function well.

It is also a bit of a nootropic with how it noticeably improves mental acuity.

Vitamin B12 is known to enhance alertness, cognition, energy, vision, elevate mood, lower anxiety and pain, and relieve insomnia


Just don't take it at night because it gives you a bit of a buzz and can actually give you insomnia.

Everyone can benefit from this vitamin, but alcoholics on a non-meat diet really need to take it. If the alcohol does not destroy your liver and kidneys and heart first, it will strip away the sheathes of your nerve cells and peripeheral neuropathy will ensue. This starts off as tingling, numbness and stifness and pain, but can get much worse than that. A certain amount of nerve damage can be reversed, but past a certain point it is permanent.

This is why McAfee supplements with this vitamin at this dosage. And also why he supplements with vitamin B1 (Thiamine). I had the beginnings of peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and could not open a bottle of milk. Within 48 hours my hands were back to normal after a script from my doctor. It is another absolute essential for any serious drinker. You just need to take the standard 50-100mg of this a day to help prevent this.

Alcohol really fucks with your intrinsic factor and messes with absorption and synthesis of all kinds of vitamins and minerals.


Alcohol -- especially in large amounts -- irritates the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines. When the stomach lining is irritated -- a condition called gastritis -- it produces less hydrochloric acid and may secrete less intrinsic factor too, both of which contribute to reduced B-12 absorption from food. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol not only impairs nutrient absorption by damaging the lining of the gastrointestinal system, but it also prevents nutrients from being fully utilized in the body by altering their transport, storage and excretion. Furthermore, decreased hydrochloric acid production can stimulate the growth of intestinal bacteria that use B-12, which further reduces the amount available to your body.

B1 and B12 are absolute must haves for any serious drinker.

McAfee took a lot more vitamins and minerals than he talks about in that post of his. He was particularly interested in nootropics and he did quite a bit of 'research' in to it as well IIRC - I remember someone claiming to be him going off the deep end about all of this on Blue Light forum. I think it turned out it really was him. He showed photos of his 'Lab'. He was serious. I think this is what he was actually doing and experimenting with in Belize before his neighbour shot his dogs or whatever.

</spergout>



TL;DR: Cyanocobalamin is just Vitamin B12.

To answer your second question. I'm sorry for the 2000 word spergout. Farms was down, every time I checked, so I just kept adding more. It took me all day to write this. I hope it answers some of your questions. Sorry for the double post. I'm sure you will understand. Sorry for the spacing too, that's just what my text editor reloads it as now.

NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)

Top 9 Benefits of NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is the supplement form of the amino acid cysteine, which plays several important roles in human health. Here are the top 9 health benefits of NAC.
www.healthline.com www.healthline.com

I'll just say why I take it, because it has a multitude of uses.


1: It protects the liver and kidneys and is rumoured to reduce hangovers.


Some people note a reduced hangover effect, others not so much. It is actually used IV for Paracetamol/Panadol/Tylenol/Acetaminophen OD. And if you are stupid enough to take too much of these pills, this is what they give you when you go in to hospital.


2: It's anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. It helps reduce the pain of bouts of arthritis and various other inflammatory conditions. It's a powerful anti-oxidant and that is more prevention than cure really. It can't hurt.


3: It has a calming and mildly stimulating effect and works as a low-level anti-depressant. It lifts the mood a bit and and prevents certain addictive or OCD habits. It is given to people with real chronic OCD and it helps their condition. Lots of medical literature out there about this wonderdrug. I take it when I go on the wagon and don't want to drink for say six months, or three months or whatever. It just takes away the urge to have a drink. I wouldn't consider myself an alcoholic, but I do drink too much. I can go long periods without drinking when I take this.


4: It helps with respiratory stuff. Sometimes I get a big gunked up and feel like I can't get out the phlegm in my lungs. This NAC has a kind of expectorant effect and you can quickly hack up what ails you after you've gone for a brisk walk.


So it's good to take when you drink and it's good to take when you don't want to drink. It smells like shit. Dosage for me is two 750mg tablets spaced over the day - one in the morning when I get up, the other in the afternoon. So that's 1.5g = 1500mg. McAfee is taking double that. That's a high dose. I wouldn't personally take that much.


There has been some credible research done with it causing lung tumours in mice. So I hedge my bets there. It's a great little pick me up and also another nootropic where you just feel ever so slightly more mentally sharp, better concentration. But it messes with certain neurotransmitters, and it would seem in a positive way. Most people tolerate it well, and even for the anti-oxidant effects it is something I would recommend anyone to take, even if it is just 1 x 600mg tablet a day. It is also relatively inexpensive. A must have for anyone I would say, but a real must have for drinkers. This is why McAfee took it probably in such high doses if he really did drink as much as he said he did.


I'm pretty sure McAfee did not drink the amounts he said he did, at least not consistently anyway. I may be wrong, but that would kill most people sooner rather than later, but then there's Keith Richards. They aren't 'most people'. Also if you pay attention to McAfee's eyes, they are nearly always pinned - a sign of opiod abuse. He also has that mouth and jaw thing that he does in some interviews and you can see the guy is higher than the moon. He is buzzing that lovely warm glow that only 'Lady Maybe' * can give.


*Heroin, Codeine, Morphine.


Some people have the enzymes needed to buz on opiates/opioids. Some don't. John did, quite obviously. I noted this in Tom Petty towards the end before he died. He was smacked out of his fucking brains and in the arms of sweet Lady Maybe in a lot of his interviews.


Very few people mix alcohol and opiates. For obvious reasons. It's easier to die. But also it's not a great buz when taken to excess. If you know what you are doing though and have it all worked out, a bit of something like Codeine on top of a beer binge can give a lovely buzz at the end of the night. I wouldn't recommend anyone do this though unless they really really know what they are doing. I took 90mg of Codeine at the end of a six pack binge the other night and it was fucking wonderful. First time I've done it. I had a great sleep and no, absolutely NO fucking hangover the next day. Codeine can kill any hangover dead in just normal therapeutic dosage. Codeine's charms are subtle and not everyone is perceptive to them, thankfully I have a very high natural tolerance to opiates and the proper enzymes to appreciate a wonderful drug like this. It converts to Morphine in the body, and has a half life of a few hours, so you can take what would amount to an LD-50 overdose for some people over the course of a day long binge, starting in the morning when you get up. Drink Grapefruit juice and it serioulsy potentiates it (makes it much stronger).


That's enough sperging about Codeine, but even though I only do this drug maybe two to three times a year, I can recognize the signs of a fellow Psychonaut. I take Dihydrocodeine which William Burroughs said is twice as strong as Opium and nearly as good as Heroin. I never tried heroin, but I'll take his word for it. My sibling has different genetics to me and a single Tramadol will make his head spin and he pukes. I can 'overdose' by taking a whole pack over the course of a day, so go figure, as they say.


Where were we, oh yah, drugs are bad mmkayyy...


They certainly are, but alcohol is probably the worst of them all. It's a dirty fucking drug. And if there was one drug I would advise anyone NOT to try it would be this. Even people that hate the stuff drink it every day. At least with opiates you do it because you like it. Then again, after a while, everyone just reaches the point where you 'have' to do it just to maintain your core base. Be it physical or mental or both.


So I'm pretty sure that McAfee would have been taking other things as well if he really did drink that much. Two other really potent protectives for your liver are 'Liv.52' and 'Tudca'. Body builders take them to protect against damage when they are juicing. Liv.52 is not expensive. I take it every day with a meal, twice. I'm not sure what is in it, but a lot of people swear by it. It's got loads of things in it actually - it's a mixture, but I think it's been proven to help liver function.


Tudca is fucking expensive. It's about 30-40 bucks a month, which is a lot for a supplement. I spend only twice that for a 4-6 month regimen of just about all my vits and mins. But it is the most potent thing you can get for your liver. It is proven to reverse liver damage (as long as it's not too bad). And that is probably why it's so expensive. It is proven to work. They give it to people in hospitals for liver damage along with NAC when they fuck themselves with Paracetamol/Panadol/Tylenol/Acetaminophen. For that you would take double the dose so that would be 60 - 80 bucks (dollars I'm talking here). Body builders who juice take this. It's incredible stuff.


One thing, don't take it before drinking - it causes liver damage. Take it after, the next day and when you aren't drinking at all. Lots of information and research out there if you want to look.


But these things only work to an extent. Once you turn yourself in to a pickle, you can never become a cucumber again! Just remember that. Prevention is better than cure. Don't be a retard and fuck your body.


The truth is, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics is at the very cutting edge of ongoing research. The truth is, 90 percent of the time we have no fucking clue why certain drugs make us feel a certain way or cause certain reactions. No one does when you factor in consciousness and feelings and emotions to the equation.



Factors-affecting-the-pharmacokinetics-and-pharmacodynamics-of-a-drug-The-effects-of-a.png



I guess we are just at the very beginning of beginning to understand this stuff. I don't pretend to begin to understand any of it.


Anyway, you don't really need to understand a lot of it. There is enough easy to understand peer-reviewed and proven research with a lot of things. Taking Vitamin D3 reduces inflammation and gives you a bit of a mood boost. It's very inexpensive and is also a prophylactic against Corona virus so they say. I take a massive dose of it every day.


One other thing McAfee mentions is Milk Thistle and this has been proven to boost liver function, but it is poorly absorbed by the body and very expensive in the kind of levels you need for it to really take effect. Though it doesn't hurt to take just a bit of it if you can afford it. I'm sure McAfee had the best and most easily absorbed forms at dosages proven to be effective.


To anyone reading this who drinks too much, I would just say that it's possible to give up and even if you have damaged your body a bit, there are things out there that can help you regenerate. But prevent rather than cure! We glamorize McAfee as this no fucks given shitlord, but at heart he was still an alcoholic drug addict.

It's ok to revel in the irony and to appreciate the right a human has over the sovereignty of their body, and he was certainly a freedom-fighting maverick in that regard, but he was also an outlier genetically speaking.

One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

He had the genetics and the money to indulge himself. Most of us don't.

But the world is a lesser place without him. He was just so fucking likeable. Immensely charming. Sure he wasn't taken that seriously in the high-end IT part of the industry, but who gives a fuck. He lived his life, even if he was murdered, he lived it as he wanted, full of joie de vivre. And that can be an infectious thing when it's genuine. He certainly brightened up my sad and dull little life quite a bit anyway. He made me laugh. I will miss him.

By the way, for all those semi-sperging about computer viruses, have a gander at this seminal work by Mark Ludwig, considered essential reading if you are in to this stuff:

The Little Black Book of Computer Viruses -

Genuinely sorry for the ultra massive spergout. I could have structured and spoilered it much better. And sorry for the double post. Hopefully people can make exceptions for this in this difficult time.

Hopefully I answered your question Commodore 128.

Holy shit man. No need to apologize, you answered my question and several more I hadn't realized I had yet. I am going to have to re-read these two posts a couple times to absorb fully. But I got the gist, and as an individual who has enjoyed partaking in massive amounts of booze since they were a teen; I'll be taking it into consideration.

Nice McAfee summary too. He was a hell of a character, and when we lose characters like him it just makes the world a more boring place.
