Book excerpt: When one experiences a new product, a new treatment, or a new idea, there’s little that compares to the feelings of excitement and hope that rush in, fueling one’s faith in the upright direction of humanity. I just recently attended the 8th Annual Biohacking Conference hosted by Dave Asprey in LA and like each biohacking event, I left feeling inspired to say the least. Everything I saw, every person I met, and every biohack I experienced, further fed my appetite to share these great ideas and practices with the world, a world hungering for the opposite approach of industrialized medicine. Now, of course, not every biohack is exactly 100% proven. Suffice it to say, there are many that are still in the process of collecting data from studies and clinical trials. However, those that have stood up to the modern pill-popping regimes and have adamantly supported their ideas on the foundations of strong scientific data, are truly examples to be held in high regard. I was impressed with the many products and companies at the conference that held a mission of dedicated service to fellow mankind. Yes, like in any startup industry, or even industry for that matter, there are those who are looking to push some falsehood to scheme people into buying their product or services. But as we know, the companies that rise to the top are those that stick to the cardinal virtues that make up all of us, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance. The Biohacking Industry is outgrowing its mold and soon a new layer of enthusiasts will be added. This is something that should enthrall us, but it shouldn't permit us to lose sight of the foundational attributes that make and will continue to make us biohackers for the rest of our lives. Essentially, we are all after freedom - freedom from disease, freedom from injury, freedom from hysteria, and freedom from aging. Responsible Biohacking is perhaps the best way towards that freedom, and we must continually adjust our sails to catch the winds that stem from truth and service. That is what we at Biohackers Magazine strive towards - serving the community through the provision of information carefully discerned and attuned to the values of sincerity and science.
