Hello my Friends! Welcome back to the Show!
This week I would like to discuss something I found very fascinating: Black Pepper and its primary compound Piperine, and the smaller component found inside: Piperidine. What is the connection between Pain and Pleasure, or Pain relief? Isn't the removal of pain in itself Pleasure? What does biology have to say about it? I delve briefly into the history of Black Pepper and the Opium Wars that eventually occurred. Could there be a connection between Black Pepper and Fentanyl in our Current Opium War?
Then, we will discuss the acidity of Various Tea, and how Tea can help potentiate the effects of other compounds.
Lastly, I share with you some excerpts from the Late and Great Chuang Tzu!
I sincerely Hope you enjoy. I will be forever grateful for your attention and ears. Have a wonderful Week!
If you would like to talk about anything, absolutely anything, please email me at [email protected] I will be Looking Forward To It!
