Wew... So many wrong theories and half-truths here...
1. Lung cancer in smokers is not primarily caused by formaldehyde. There are lots of other irritants/carcinogens in tobacco smoke, chronic exposure of which contributes to cancer. Non-smokers are exposed to formaldehyde in comparable quantities to smokers from various industrial processes, household solvents, etc.
2. Rhabdomyolysis in burn victims is caused by the reperfusion of massively damaged muscle tissue.
3. The breakdown of muscle tissue in rhabdomyolysis releases creatine kinase, not creatinine.
4. Creatinine does not have antimicrobial effect at concentrations available in the human body. You would need to increase its plasma concentration 100-fold to get an appreciable effect on microbes. Suffice to say, that would be quite unhealthy for your kidneys.
Where did you get these ideas from? r/nootropics?

Chronic Exposure, a term that fails to quantify with units of measure, but it sounds psychologically shocking, to the point the elevated stress hormones conveniently not measured by so called medical experts, might start impeding the neutrophil functionality in turn impairing the wider immune system. Probably explains why the saying Ignorance is Bliss exists. 2. Reperfusion. Damage that occurs after blood supply is restored to a tissue or organ after a period of ischemia. Ischemia, a condition in which blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. I guess someone had to get a leg of lamb and pump some blood around it whilst cooking it in order to demonstrate the restriction of the blood? 3.Anerobic exercise elevates creatine kinase as a marker of exercise. The supplementation of creatine can not be differentiated in kidney function tests, which are used by medical experts. 4.Neither do neutrophils or immune cells in general. >You would need to increase its plasma concentration 100-fold to get an appreciable effect on microbes. Why would it be unhealthy for your kidneys again? Where did you get these half baked theories and ideas from University or med school? You are certainly not a medical researcher!
- robbiep 4y agoWhy neutrophils? They’re not implicated in solid tumours or the regulation of them. Do you know what function neutrophils perform?
