Hey there. So, this is cross posted from the experiments.com site. It has been slightly altered, but I figured everyone should have this little bit of info. It’s pretty cool 🙂
First though, a little bit of bad news. We lost one of our test subjects in the last week :/ Subject C dropped out. We’re bummed, but still feeling positive about the project. Luckily, we were up one from our original protocol, so we are still well within parameters.
SFM Dietary Protocols: Depleting Retinol
Jeffrey Tibbetts
Our project to replace Rhodopsin with Porphyropsin in the human eye in order to affect a shift of the range of light that is perceivable can easily be summed up in three steps: deplete stores of vitamin A, administer A2, and measure the changes that occur. While these summations are valid, they don’t do justice to the intricacies involved in each step. This section discusses the steps taken to deplete retinol levels.
