We have got to start calling these people out who have turned the academy into a National Inquirer because they are desperate for attention and funding. It’s toxic and harmful to humanity how they twist things up and distort reality, a la 1984, to the point where there is no telling what the truth is and no one really even can cares anymore because it’s been so convoluted and perverted by self-important, attention starved people.
The word mummy originally referred to a medicine, now called mummia, made from Egyptian mummies.
Ground up Egyptian mummies have been used in pigments too (mummy brown). Many paintings from the Pre-Raphaelites used this pigment. The artist Edward Burne-Jones was reported to have ceremonially buried his tube of mummy brown in his garden when he discovered its true origins.
There was even an entire counterfeit scene for Egyptian mummies where fresh corpses were embalmed and sold off for use in medicine and pigments!
The phrase "The time has come for you to give up your life for the sake of all beings" comes to mind. You didn't want to get a reputation as a seven-times returner.
It is very likely that they still do it but because people have lot more power and influence now so they started hiding their more controversial activities. It is very likely that they have included other elites from elsewhere in the practice... which is why I believe the adrenochrome story, which we are supposed to think is a "conspiracy theory", but I think it is much more likely to be happening than it is portrayed by naysayers.
"... Double double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf ... "
In case you wondered what witches' mummy was, now you know.
Spoiler: there are probably many benefits, see e.g the cognitive benefits that give cerebrolysin, not hard to extrapolate from this and there must exists some human only Peptides. I recall that women's milk has a special unique substance that is neurotrophic, criminally it is not synthetically adjuvenated in cow's milk.
Of course I'm not advocating you to eat me but making artificial babies without brains might be not science fiction. It highly relate with the urgent need of being able to replace animal breeding with philosophical zombies.
With a blood transfusion, the "better" qualities of the blood would largely remain as it gets treated like all the other blood in the body. When eating young flesh, it gets the same treatment as any other random piece of meat. It'd need to be vastly superior to something like pork to even be worth considering, and it just isn't.
The real parallel with transfusions would be growing organs for transplant, something that is researched.
Plus, I think "young blood transfusions" are largely snake oil.
According to your mind
But yes obviously eating human meat is probably not very potent. However doing human peptide extracts out of human meat (or out of human blood, urine, milk) like we already successfully do for cerebrolysin with cattle brain extracts could yield revolutionary health or nootropic results. Indeed again, I am not advocating for immoralism.
> think "young blood transfusions" are largely snake oil. I have extensive erudition in pharmacology and gerontology and young blood has m a n y explanative factors that make it a very promising therapeutic.
