Saying the product of the kidneys is urine is like saying the product of a factory is pollution. Urine is a by-product. The product is homeostasis. COI: https://pbfluids.com/about/

Agree - it would likely be a N of 1000 + trial, and one would need funding of Ritux for control + Obi for intervention. Also, note when Tac was stopped per @brycebarr.bsky.social above! www.kireports.org/article/S246... from Ruggenenti et al in @kireports.bsky.social with same thoughts #ERA26

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.
