Supplement Review: Inno cleanse
What can I say about this product. Quite a lot but first the company…
It’s unfortunate the company is a bunch of infomercial douchebags! You can’t simply buy what you want off their site! They add shit into your basket, when you click, click add to cart on another item and it redirects and doesn’t add the product, they try to sell you 6 bottles instead of one and then they try to trick you into subscribing to auto delivery. The nitro wood is $123 on Amazon! Instead $30, the carb blocker isn’t on Amazon at all. It’s a shame because I tried the cleanse and it works really well and I ordered a second bottle! I want to try other products but they are such shitbags! I would have bought another cleanse, nitro wood and the carb blocker but I can’t because they suck and want to play games instead of being a real supplement company! Stop trying to scam people and be a supplement company! 🖕🏼
Recipe: Super Bowl Chili Time
Super crazy customizable chili recipe

4lbs bottom round beef cut into 1/2 cubes (steak no crappy chop meat here!)
2tbsp cumin
1 red onion (i puree it cause I hate onions)
4 cloves garlic
1 large chicken broth low sodium
1 large can stewed tomatoes
Now time for the chili pack:
Heat pepper package:
1 jalapeño diced
1 habanero diced (optional)
1 ghost pepper diced (optional)
1 Carolina Reaper (optional)
Flavor pepper package:
1 poblano preferably charred
1tbsp ancho chili powder
1tbsp chipotle pepper powder or 3 fresh charred peppers
Himalayan Salt and black pepper to taste
Beer time! 1 can of Guinness! What’s chili without beer!
And now the super secret cooling aid!
You must balance the heat!
2tbsp dark chocolate chips
2tbsp real maple syrup!
Now you have a dilemma to solve. Beans or no beans?
If beans: 1/2 can black beans, 1 can kidney beans and 1/2 can pinto beans lol (drained or not see below)
Toppings:
crema, diced scallions or cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking:
dump everything in your crockpot/instapot! Except the beans. Hold off on the beans.
Let everything cook halfway. Slow and low! Then look at your chili is it too thick or thin? Thick add beans and water in the can! Thin add only the beans (drained)! Use your judgement on the water. I like the black beans so I would use that water if the chili is too thick. Don’t add all the water from the 3 cans of beans! Or u will have chili soup. Pick the water from one can.
This is how you get perfect chili Everytime!
If you make it post your pics and comments!
Product Review: Robot Vacuums are they worth it?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: keep reading
I started my investigation into this topic based on curiosity, I found discount applications like Temu, where I could buy a robot vacuum for less than a third, the price of an iRobot Roomba. For me my house design is a split level house with many small rooms divided on four different floors so a robot vacuum is not ideal for my situation. So when I saw I could get one of these discount vacuums for about $150 I figured let’s test and see their worth.
So I did learn a few things along the way, and I will share them with you and prove to you why the more expensive machines are the better choice. A robot vacuum saves you a lot of time and upkeep on daily sweeping and vacuuming. Your floors could be nice and clean at all times. Some robot vacuums even have a mop attachment where you can add a mopping feature by plugging in and mop, head cartridge so the biggest difference between a cheaper, vacuum and more expensive iRobot vacuum is capacity in all aspects. For example, the mop head on cheaper machines barely holds any water, if your house is large, it will take you multiple times to add water to complete the cleaning. The same goes for vacuuming. You need a self cleaning self emptying vacuum, because the small vacuum container fills up quickly and you basically have to empty it after each use, which becomes a big pain in the ass. Another thing is the suction capability if you have leaves on the floor the cheaper vacuum cannot pick up those leaves and usually it breaks them up. It’s a pieces and still can’t pick them up from what I’ve seen in videos. The iRobot handles leaves pretty easily. So between the emptying of the container, the breaking down and failure to pick up leaves makes the device useful but still a pain in the ass. You have to hunt around and vacuum up what it couldn’t with your normal vacuum. If you have the more expensive iRobot, then all you need to get is places the robot couldn’t reach and of course any stairs you may have.
My original thought was to get a bunch of the cheap vacuums and buy one for each floor, but now I rather have the correct vacuum for high traffic areas.
Another, finding some of the cheap vacuums don’t even have a charging station, which means you will have to bend down and plug it in after every use. Now you have to definitely clean it after every use and plug it in.
the iRobot Roomba has 60 days of self cleaning self emptying. That alone is an amazing feature and also the new models avoid any dog poop accidents so if you have pets, it won’t smear the nastiness all over the house that’s another amazing feature.
So to recap the more expensive models won’t smear dog poop all over the house, they self clean for 60 days, they pick up large leaves easily, they have mop attachments to mop your house, and they have a charging filling stations to refill themselves from mopping and empty themselves from vacuuming, if you have a large home, you may need multiple devices because it cleans slowly and overlaps itself to make sure it doesn’t miss anything. If you have an open if you have an open floor plan, this is a no-brainer a must buy. If you have a lot of people going in and out or have pets, this is a must for high traffic areas to make your life easier and always have a clean floor.
I personally love my Dyson vacuum and will never give up my Dyson, but this gives you more time in between Dyson cleanings. this keeps your floors clean daily and allows you to deep clean with your Dyson on the weekend. So if you have an active lifestyle a robot vacuum is also a must.
Intergalactic space travel you are doing it all wrong!
Elon musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson you are doing it wrong!
Intergalactic space travel must first start with a big Advanced space station in Earth’s orbit that is self sustaining, and has its own gravity and multiple docking stations for ships. The space station must be self sustainable. It must house many permanent residents who live and work upon the space station, including commerce.
The current space station is pieced together and inadequate for long term inhabitants. It also cannot handle interspace commerce, storage and docking.
Once the space station is completed, we must build a second space station once completed that space station will be transported to Mars. Interspace travel and commerce will then be created between the two space stations, interspace trucking lanes. Those trucking lanes will be transporting resources back-and-forth.
Once that is complete then, and only then can you create a colony on Mars. That colony, will then have all the support and resources and emergency services that it needs. There won’t be a one-way ticket to death for the first team of colonists.
Without building, the needed infrastructure, you are doomed to fail. This will also solve any overcrowding on earth, because we will have people living on both space stations permanently, and we will have colonists on Mars and even possibly the moon. If we are to expand to other planets we must repeat the process space station first, and then colonization on the planet.
As a proof of concept I would colonize the moon first before the mars project.
Interspace travel plan:
- Earth space station
- Moon colony
- Mars space station
- Transport of mars space station to mars
- Mars colony
- Repeat space station build for new planet
- Transfer space station to new planet
- Colonize new planet
Without building the necessary infrastructure and creating a space highway with rest stops (space stations) you are doomed to fail.
Product Review: Amofit S – Biohacking Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System Wearable device
Shortcut to Longevity
and Health
Aging can be thought of as a decrease in the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis, our body’s ability to “self-tune” or self-stabilize in response to stressors. Our challenge is to restore homeostasis, a unique and innate human ability, through our innovative bioelectronic technology to lead healthier lives and delay aging by stimulating the cardiac branch of the vagus nerve and correcting the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system.
Everything is in the
Vagus Nerve
Chronic stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep negatively impact our immune system and its balance and increase the risk of developing or worsening diseases.
The vagus nerve is the longest in the body. It is the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system and is the conductor of all immune defense mechanisms. If the vagal tone is activated, the parasympathetic nervous system functions properly, and the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke are reduced. It is also good for the intestines by improving digestive metabolism and decreasing migraines. Not only will this allow you to age healthier, but it also lowers an individual’s risk of death and the need for medication or hospital visits.
HRV (Heart rate variability) functions as a biomarker in health and disease. It is also the best biomarker to track our longevity.
The chart above shows our clinical trial results on HRV, conducted at KRISS. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we obtained results that showed the activities of the parasympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system were increased by over 275% by stimulating the cardiac branch of the vagus nerve.
We have yet to find other neuromodulation technology or medical technology that can change and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the body’s unconscious behavior and functions, so dramatically within just one day.
Wear ‘amofit S’ for 30 minutes per day. Restore your body and mind to their original, natural state in just a few days.
amofit S is a unique bioelectronic wearable device that improves the overall human body by transmitting mild electromagnetic signals to the nervous system through the vagus nerve in the chest area in the form of electric currents. It improves sleep, stress, and anxiety by restoring the balance of the autonomic nervous system. It also enhances memory and creativity by promoting the generation of alpha brain waves and restores the internal balance through homeostatic autoregulation mechanism.
Studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation treatment can delay significant effects related to aging. This may help protect people from chronic diseases that are more likely to occur as people get older.
‘amofit S’, with AMO Lab’s proprietary neuromodulation technology, cVES (cervicothoracic vagus electromagnetic stimulation), targets the vagus nerve in the human’s autonomic nervous system. With a mild intensity similar to the innate magnetic field generated by the human body itself, the electromagnetic signal passes through the skin, muscles, and bones without any interference. It then is transmitted to the vagus nerve in the chest area. This signal regulates the vagal tone and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
‘amofit S’ provides two healing modes. After powering on the device, you can switch from CALM mode to FOCUS mode by pressing the touch area. CALM mode can increase the vagal tone and activate the parasympathetic nervous system to improve sleep, stress, and anxiety and correct the body’s internal balance, as well as help with chronic diseases related to problems in the vagus nerve and the autonomic nervous system.FOCUS mode can enhance memory and creativity by increasing alpha brain waves.
Attach the device to your collar using the clip on the back of the device or wear it like a necklace around your neck. This simple, sophisticated device will improve your dignity.
CALM mode
FOCUS mode
Effectiveness has been proven through rigorously-controlled clinical trials.
In clinical trials on heart rate variability (HRV), melatonin, and brain wave analysis, the effects of improving sleep and stress and enhancing concentration and memory were proven.
The fundamental effect of amofit S that activates vagal tone and parasympathetic nervous system restores the body’s internal balance and can potentially help with symptoms of the chronic neurological diseases such as autonomic dysfunction.
Non-Contact Neurotechnology
Unlike existing neurostimulation devices, ‘amofit S’ does not require strong stimulation and does not need to be attached to the skin. The electromagnetic signal generated by ‘amofit S’ is effective within a 9-inch radius from the heart and can be worn over clothing without any inconvenience.
Rapid Effects
According to our clinical studies and the reviews from our users, more than 60% of users experience the benefits after the first 1-3 days of use. Most importantly, clinical reports demonstrate that people with severe symptoms experience higher effects. Additionally, most users, particularly those with severe sleep problems, report significant improvement on the first day of use.
Long-Lasting Effects
In our first clinical trial, we achieved a remarkable result that the effect lasted more than 72 hours after using the device for just 2 hours. This is an innovative scientific result, which is difficult to achieve with existing neuromodulation technologies.
Safety
The mild electromagnetic signal generated by ‘amofit S’ operates at a very low level compared to the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the human body and equivalent to 1/10 of the Earth’s electromagnetic field. Natural neurostimulation based on the principle of the human body entrainment does not have any side effects and guarantees higher safety.
Wearing the Device
‘amofit S’ is applied with non-contact neurostimulation technology with an effective range of 9 inches and can be worn by using a necklace string or by clipping the product to your collar.
This device is simple and convenient to use anytime, anywhere in your daily life. Many aspects of your life will be improved from the day after the first use.
It would be the perfect gift for your beloved family.

Exclusive Patents
We have a broad portfolio of intellectual property rights, with 7 patents registered worldwide, including PCT, EU, USA, South Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan, on vagus nerve stimulation method and technology.
International Certification
‘amofit S’ is a safe product that has obtained various international certifications.
Product Function
Tech Specs
The results from 10 years of research were proven through 3 clinical trials.
In clinical trials conducted at the KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) and Kyunghee University Hospital in 2019 and 2020, the effectiveness of treatment was demonstrated through analysis on EEG (brain wave), electrocardiogram (ECG), melatonin (hormone) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
The VNS technology applied to amofit S was developed based on thousands of peer-reviewed papers, and its effectiveness was proven in the actual clinical trials. In a placebo-controlled study conducted at the KRISS research institute, amofit S increased activities of the parasympathetic nervous system by up to 187%.
CONCLUSION
The result of analysis of ECG to evaluate the stress relaxation effects of AMO+ products are as follows:
1) There were significant changes in HF ratio on ECG after use of AMO+ for a short term (2 hours). It is thought that the parasympathetic nervous system is activated by wearing the product in the experiment. It is considered that AMO+ induces relaxation and sleep because parasympathetic activation dilates blood vessels and relaxes the mind and body.
2) However, there was no significant difference in HF ratio on ECG after use of fake product for a short term (2 hours).
3) There were significant changes in HF ratio on ECG after use of AMO+ in a long term (72 hours). This demonstrated that AMO+ not only has the short term effects, but also provides the long term effects, activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
4) The effect of activating the parasympathetic nervous system of AMO+ is considered effective for sympathetic hyperactivity (immune depression, increased fatigue, insomnia, etc.) suffered by many modern people due to heavy work load and stress.
In a clinical trial conducted at Kyung Hee University Hospital in 2019, the sleep improvement effect was demonstrated through analysis on Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
We conducted a 30-day study with adults who self-reported sleep difficulties and after using AMO+, we found that: 95% of participants improved their overall Sleep Score; 85% were more satisfied with their sleep pattern; 75% reported positive impact on their daily functioning. A statistically significant reduction in mean Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score from 15.7 (moderate insomnia) at baseline to 8.15 (sub-threshold insomnia) after 14 days of cVES treatment was observed. ISI score reduced by 7.55 (i.e., 48% reduction).
In a clinical trial conducted at the KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) in 2020, EEG (brain wave), electrocardiogram (ECG) and melatonin (sleep-inducing hormone) were analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness on the activation of parasympathetic nervous system of the ANS (autonomic nervous system) and the improvement in sleep, stress, anxiety, and brain function.
Alpha brain wave power
HRV HF (level of parasympathetic nerve) ratio
Melatonin hormone level
Subjective evaluation
CONCLUSION
The HF ratio increased in both normal individuals and insomnia patients, indicating stress reduction. In the electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, the increase of alpha wave ratios in F3, F4, Fp1, and Fp2 positions in insomnia patients after wearing real devices indicates stress reduction. In the saliva test, the increase in melatonin levels in insomnia patients at nighttime indicates an increase in sleep-inducing effects. Thus, real AMO+ devices reduce stress and improve sleep induction.
In 2012, a team of young scientists studying chemistry, biology and computer engineering at the University of Illinois discovered a treatment protocol that rapidly increases the heart rate variability (HRV) by using mild electromagnetic signals during a bioelectromagnetics experiment. In the additional clinical studies, the team identified the possibility to restore the balance of the autonomic nervous system and treat age-related chronic diseases.
In 2016, AMO Lab was established as a bioelectronics company in the United States and South Korea based on its proprietary neurostimulation platform.
Our Mission
Age-related chronic diseases cause significant economic, personal and social burdens for individuals, families and communities.
Our mission is to delay, halt or even reverse aging, which is the ultimate goal of humanity, with natural, safe therapies without any side effect.
Non-Contact Bioelectronic Technology
AMO+, the first commercial product of AMO Lab, is a consumer wellness product that improves the quality of sleep through a unique non-invasive, non-contact approach for vagus nerve stimulation.
This innovative wearable sleep device has been completed as a result of persistent commitment and clinical studies of young scientists with their vision for the future of bioelectronics.
Since April 2022, we have been shipping the products from our warehouses in the United States, Netherlands, and South Korea to over 2,400 backers who supported this campaign.
Scientific Evidence – The VNS technology behind amofit S is backed by 4,000+ peer-reviewed papers
Our academic paper was published in the international journal ‘Springer Nature’ in July 2019.
CONCLUSION
LF oscillation represents vasomotor activity, which indicates activity and stress. On the other hand, the HF oscillation corresponds to respiratory activity, which represents relaxation. A significant difference was found in the case of HF power of ECG. The ECG HF component is a representation of vagal activity [14]. ECG HF power reflects the parasympathetic nervous system activity. The HF power increase indicates an improvement of parasympathetic nervous system activity. The rise of High Frequency (HF) components indicates improved vagal nerve activity, which is observed in Fig. 3 after using the VNS device. There is a significantly different HF ratio between ECG acquisition before VNS and after VNS device usage.

Our academic paper was published in the international journal ‘Springer Nature’ in July 2020.
CONCLUSION
This study concludes that the ECG analysis of the HF ratio for the real device shows a significant increase in the HF ratio and reduction in stress. In the EEG analysis, the increase in the alpha power ratio of F3, F4, Fp1, and Fp2 indicates stress reduction. Based on the salivary melatonin results, the nighttime melatonin level of insomnia persons after using the real device shows a significant value, resulting in induced sleep in insomnia persons. The subjective evaluation also shows a satisfactory level after the use of the real device. Thus, the real AMO+ device reduces stress and improves sleep induction. It provides sleep improvement for individuals who cannot fall asleep easily due to stress, people who sleep less than 7 hours, and people suffering from sleep problems. It is also helpful for wellness purposes for individuals such as active people who care about wellness and want to improve their body functions, people who need their heart rate and respiration rate stabilized, and people who are living uncomfortably due to stress. Although this study is limited to the analysis of bio-signals and melatonin levels, the future study will focus on full night sleep monitoring for insomnia persons in order to assess overnight sleep quality
