They tested Vitamin B3 in a pill that is</p><blockquote><p>designed to release nicotinamide [a form of Vitamin B3] in the lower small intestine and colon</p></blockquote><p>And found:</p><p>1️⃣ Acute COVID-19 might be safely and easily reduced in severity and duration<br>2️⃣ In general, no improvement in Long COVID rates (here termed Post-COVID syndrome, PCS)<br>3️⃣ BUT, for people with recovery-like trajectories, they found superior outcomes. This takes a few quotes:</p><p>The subgroup was</p><blockquote><p>participants at risk who had shown improvement in the primary endpoint or one of the three key secondary endpoints in the acute phase of the disease</p><p>In [this] subgroup, a significant benefit of nicotinamide was also observed in participants with PCS (nicotinamide: n = 48, PCS score 8.33 ± 0.84; placebo: n = 57, PCS score 11.82 ± 1.03; absolute difference: −3.49; 95% confidence interval, −6.1 to −0.86; P = 0.010</p></blockquote><p>Now we all know how Long COVID isn't one single disease. Let's assume for a second that other results that suggest at least <em>one</em> subset has a microbiome component are correct.</p><p>As they say "life finds a way" so it would make sense that remnant gut populations could rebound over time and that this subset of LC sufferers might be more likely to have recovery trajectories. (This while we have no treatments for any subset.)</p><p>This obviously won't stop the pandemic nor its consequences, but still, here's hoping that there's no patent encumbrance on coating B3 for lower-gut delivery.</p><p>Of course here in BC we'll get access the same time we get access to Metformin. ⌛ </p><p>h/t <a href="https://zeroes.ca/explore" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">zeroes.ca/explore</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> I think?</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID19</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/SARS2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SARS2</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LongCOVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCOVID</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/PCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCS</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>B3</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/VitaminB3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VitaminB3</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/AirborneAware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AirborneAware</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/CovidCompetent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CovidCompetent</span></a></p>

According to Business Insider, small startups are cashing in on the untapped potential of the e-waste industry, making as much as $85,000 per day <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recycling</span></a> old electronic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircuitBoards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CircuitBoards</span></a>.

The United States alone only collects about 15% of all the e-waste for recycling that its citizens create on a daily basis.</p><p>"The flip side to this situation is that e-waste is simultaneously becoming one of the most underrated 'gold mines' of the modern era, thanks to all of the valuable metals housed inside most circuit boards. Worldwide, there's a projected $55-$60 billion worth of precious metals inside abandoned circuit boards just waiting to be collected.</p><p>"Business Insider followed several scrappers and a small startup in Sydney, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a>, to see how much income these smaller entities can make from recycling e-waste. It found that solo scrappers can't make a full-time income out of e-waste yet, but scrappers who work in larger organizations, particularly organizations / startups with access to heavy machinery, can generate some serious income.</p><p>"One such startup that Business Insider interviewed was <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MintInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MintInnovation</span></a>. Scrappers who find e-waste and drop it off at Mint Innovation can make as much as several thousand dollars per load. Mint Innovation has virtually mastered the art of metal extraction from e-waste, utilizing tons of special machines and a secret special sauce designed to break down electronic circuit boards and separate the valuable metals inside from unwanted plastics and other materials the metals are attached to.</p><p>"The fully automated setup Mint Innovation has built can generate an impressive $85,000 of income per day from the raw metals it collects from e-waste. That translates into about $30 million in income per year.</p><p>"Mint Innovation perfectly demonstrates the amount of potential income the e-waste industry can access right now. The problem, however, is that there is not a lot of infrastructure dedicated to e-waste processing, making it difficult for e-waste scavengers to make a livable income. That could easily change in the future, as e-waste pollution continues to rise and more entrepreneurs understand the income potential e-waste can generate.</p><p>"If you want to take a crack at recycling your own e-waste, we made a fun tutorial several years ago to teach you the basics.</p><p>Source::</p><p><a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/startups-are-raking-in-up-to-dollar85000-per-day-by-recycling-gold-and-copper-from-electronics-thrown-in-the-trash-e-waste-gold-mining-efforts-are-expanding" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tomshardware.com/pc-components</span><span class="invisible">/cpus/startups-are-raking-in-up-to-dollar85000-per-day-by-recycling-gold-and-copper-from-electronics-thrown-in-the-trash-e-waste-gold-mining-efforts-are-expanding</span></a></p><p>How to: <br><a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/550-gold-motherboard-chemistry.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tomshardware.com/picturestory/</span><span class="invisible">550-gold-motherboard-chemistry.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LessMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LessMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoreRecycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoreRecycling</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LithiumMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CopperMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reuse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Recycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recycle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReduceReuseRecycle</span></a></p>
