- maxerickson 10y agoDrunks generally metabolize alcohol faster than teetotalers. A cutting edge treatment for nut allergies is to consume small amounts of nuts (carefully prepared, etc.). edit: I want to differentiate the nut thing from homeopathy. The idea there is to consume a very small and carefully measured portion of the nut, not some nonsense about training molecules.
- Coincoin 10y agoWhat you are describing is poison resistance where consuming a toxic substance makes your body more tolerant to its adverse effects. It makes total sense for nut allergy where the disease is the intolerance; if you become immune to the substance you are cured. Toothache is not an intolerance to deadly nightshades and no level of resistance to the poison will cure what is a totally unrelated issue; pain caused by a something slowly digging a hole through my gum.
- maxerickson 10y agoYes, I replied to a comment about poison resistance.
