The Ultimate Laser Protocol
TULIP = T.U.L.P. = The
Ultimate Laser Protocol = Laser+PQQ+CoQ10 = Enhanced Mitochondria/ATP =
Transformed Life
TULIP is
a stack that aims to produce higher performance in all cognitive levels by
improving Mitochondria, (the energy factories of the cells), ATP production and
increased neurogenesis & extended axonal branching. Lostfalco, a member of
Longecity.org in this forum TOPIC, thought up TULIP.
The core of the Protocol of TULIP is:
1.
Laser/LED’s (LLLT/Photobiomodulation): more
efficient ATP production, neurogenesis, and extended axonal branching.
2.
PQQ: more & better mitochondria.
3.
CoQ10: more & better mitochondrial
output.
See HERE for a log of Lostfalco’s experiences with TULIP. In addition, HERE is the link for the birth post of TULIP if you want to read up
on it from the beginning. HERE is another
Article from SelfHacked.com on LLLT.

“The number one thing is speed. My thoughts are just lightning
fast...way faster than they've ever been. The most interesting thing about it
to me is that it's that way all the time. It's not like I dose in the morning
and then slow down four hours later. This is part of what I mean when I say I
feel changed. This just seems to be how I am now. It makes sense given the
proposed effects of PQQ and photobiomodulation. I just have to make sure I get
enough calories.” ___________________________________________________________________________
The whole
goal is to improve the number and efficiency of, (ie. smaller), Mitochondria
for increased ATP synthesis. ATP runs every cell = tissues =organs = YOU! More
ATP equals more energy and improved function. The smaller the mitochondria you
have the better the improvement and energy/ATP available. Another note is that
you have two interacting genomes...mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA
(nDNA). Mitochondria, some individual cells have 1000+, provide the energy and
the nucleus tells the energy where to go and what to build, at least the
information portion of it. See these videos for a general description of LLLT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBoNl64fZHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Jek7bLOM4
NOTE TULIP focuses on using Infrared LED array(s)
or Laser(s) on your head/skull for improving ATP production in your brain. Yes
people, we are shining near infrared light into our heads for cognitive
optimization. In addition, YES! There is a lot of science behind this having
quite strong and paramount potentials.

Choosing an Near Infrared Array
808nm Lasers
are more common in research literature but 850nm IR LEDs are easier to get and
cheaper. This makes it the most commonly used by people doing this protocol.
You can find 850nm LED arrays on amazon and eBay relatively cheap. Preferably,
look for a unit with power brick included. HERE is a 96 LED array that I use. For someone who would use an 808nm
laser, I suggest a Vetrolaser. Yes, it is a bit more costly but it is medical grade and
safer* to use then getting a 808nm 200-300mw laser off of eBay and hoping you
know what you are doing.
Different
wavelengths are noted to have different effects on cognition/cells. Most people
will being using 850nm LED arrays and research is showing that LED’s may be
more effective over lasers not to mention cheaper and much *safer for home
applications. However, they do not penetrate as deeply. I will be referencing
them in the majority of the article.
If you
get an LED infrared array that is cased you need to remove the glass cover and
place the LED array directly on your head. It may get a little warm, but this
is nothing to worry about. To answer a commonly asked question, no you do not need
to be bald for this to work.
Lasering Provisional Protocol
1.
Laser
your whole brain, preferably before bed. Some people prefer not to laser the
back of head, where the optic nerve is, due to circadian rhythm concerns (resetting
and such). Personally, I feel a little dazed when I shine the LED array on the
back of my head. My friend, however, finds it quite uncomfortable.
2.
Begin
with 30 seconds per location.
3.
There
are 9 individual "regions" on the sides, top, and back of your head;
and roughly 5 individual spots on your forehead along the hairline, that need
to be aimed for.
4.
Recommended
2 days on/1 day off or every other day. DO NOT use every day.
5.
Total
Time: 7 minutes. Try this for 1 to 2 weeks before increasing dose time. (Note:
ALL is currently provisional.)
You can
also use the LED array on your stomach, (it is great for reliving aches),
Thyroid, and Gonads among other parts of the body. Generally, infrared light is
good for reveling pain and inflammation. (Different wavelengths have different
actions on cells/types of tissue)
Over
doing it, using it too long, or trying to MEGA DOSE is a bad idea! Commonly
reported problems are; tiredness, increased need for sleep*, and loss of
benefits. This is very much like physical exercise, only for your brain, and it
is not that hard to overdo it. LLLT is very much a curve response. Benefits
peak up to a point then can diminish with furthering the ante. Start with 30
seconds and keep it there for the one or two weeks to see what TULIP can do
even at smaller doses. Then increase from there gradually to find your limit
and optimal dose and schedule for you.
*whereas appropriate doses typically decrease the need of sleep
Here is an intriguing post by domenic,
a longecity user, posted in the Primary TULIP thread. There are many others but
this one has a solution* and potential for furthering TULIP and discussion.
*This was his solution, but it may not work for everyone.

“…I have been using the TULIP protocol for 3 weeks now, and have
had similar results to other on this thread. However, a week ago I feel asleep
while Lasering with a 96 array led. It was only between 3-5 minutes, but it was
enough to throw me off for the past week. I was not feeling the benefits of
TULIP and felt significant brain fog, even taking every other day off and 5
days off last week. I have been reading Dr. Jack Kruse and realized that
possibly I had overdosed in transferring electrons via increase in
mitochondria. Dr. Jack Kruse calls this molecular density, which he argues is
the cause of several health problems because it does not allow cells to process
electrons efficiently and thus fucks up their function.
According to Dr. Kruse, electromagnetic frequencies above the
magnetic resonance of the earth, and irregularities in circadian biology caused
by the use of artificial light and eating out of season or after dark, are two
causes of this molecular density or clogging. His prescription for these, other
than reducing out exposure to them is his well known Cold Thermogenesis. Dr.
Kruse says that adapting to the cold through dunking yourself in 50-55 F water,
has the primary effect of reducing molecular density. Thus, in a cold adapted
state your mitochondria process electrons for energy in a vastly more efficient
manner. Similar, he says, to the way superconduction works better in
supercooled states. So, I had been taking cold showers getting used to the idea
of cold adaptation for the past while and finally I worked up the courage for
an ice bath.
The past couple of nights using an Ice Bath has completely returned
me to baseline and allowed the benefits of TULIP to continue. It has completely
eliminated my brain fog and overfilled feeling I had from accidently doing to
much laser.
In fact I think cold adaptation might help improve the TULIP
protocol because of the way in which cold allows our cells and mitochondria to
be much more receptive to electron transfer and become more efficient in
general.
Jack Kruse actually has said that there are ways in which out
cells can by pass ATP and use solely electron transfer through a pathway called
the PPPQ but I don't fully understand his ideas yet.
Sorry if my understanding of Jack Kruse or Biology is lacking I
am just beginning to learn this stuff and biology in general”

PQQ & CoQ10
1.
Suggested
100-200mg Ubiquinol CoQ10 for best absorption. Both of these can be a bit
energizing. J
2.
PQQ
suggests that you buy the 20mg capsules and open them to split the powder into
10mg each. It is considerably cheaper this way. Personally, I suggest Swanson’s
Vitamins or Amazon for these two mitochondria enhancing supplements. Jarrow’s
is a good brand on either of these sites.

___________________________________________________________________________
"In humans, in one double-blind, placebo-controlled
clinical trial conducted in Japan in 2007, supplementation with 20 mg per day
of PQQ resulted in improvements on tests of higher cognitive function in a
group of 71 middle-aged and elderly people aged between 40-70, who outperformed
the placebo group by more than twofold in their standardized memory
tests.[18]Interestingly, co-administration of the unrelated compound coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) further
improved performance on standardized memory tests when subjects also took 300
mg per day of CoQ10. No adverse effects were linked to the supplementation, and
the results suggested that PQQ, especially when combined with CoQ10, can be
used to improve mental status and quality of life in older patients, and help
slow or prevent age-related cognitive decline in middle-age patients.
However, the study was not peer-reviewed and was published in a
non-academic journal. No proper scientific study of PQQ effects on memory or
cognition in humans has been conducted, as of 2013."
___________________________________________________________________________
First Effects: You could likely be tired after the
first dose for 2 to 24 hours. Normally it lasts around an hour. This is true as
long as you do not begin with a dose higher than the recommended starting dose.
Bedtime is terrific time to use the LED array; it puts the tiredness to work. Take
the mitochondria enhancing agents first thing in the morning. Future sessions
may make you a little bit tired but this is NOT the norm. It is associated with
longer then recommended starting doses. The results build over time; give it a
few weeks to reach heightening effects.
___________________________________________________________________________
“…it is widely reported among people trying out LLLT that
after the first application of the LEDs to the head, one feels weirdly tired
for around an hour. I felt this myself upon trying, several people report it in
the Lostfalco thread, and an acquaintance of mine who had never seen the
Lostfalco thread and had tried out LLLT a year before I first heard of it
mentioned he had felt the same exact thing. This feeling seems to go away after
the first time, but perhaps it just becomes weaker?”
___________________________________________________________________________
There are many additions to this
Protocol such as Shilajit, Pregnenolone, Creatine, & D-Ribose
possibly in Bulletproof coffee. Glutathione or Oxaloacetate is a great idea for
mitochondrial cleanup. J
____________________________________________________________________________________
"Supplemental coenzyme Q10 blocks mitochondrial aging,
while PQQ triggers the creation of new mitochondria. In addition, shilajit works synergistically with
CoQ10, replenishing its electrons and prolonging its antioxidative
effectiveness.
Taken together, CoQ10 and PQQ and shilajit offer a potent
program to inhibit? And reverse? The intensely destructive cycle that is
believed to be a root source of aging!"
