I mean, the limits of the human body are fairly fixed in terms of what we can do with them. And, you’re better off just slightly tweaking things. Like, my arthritis, I’d want to dial back the inflammation and immune response for, but if you cut those back too much, it hinders other things.

I’d definitely regulate the bowels though, make sure things stayed regular and smooth, as much as possible. IBS is a pain in the ass, so being able to adjust that down to minimum hassle would be life changing, literally.

But most things? You don’t wanna fuck with day-to-day operations. You really only want to adjust when things are going wrong, and even then, not as much as you’d think.

You’d think the switching off the internal triggers for depression and anxiety would be great, but everything is connected. You start fucking with that outside of major events, and you throw off everything else because the dopamine, oxyticin, serotonin, norinephine, and other neurochemicals affect each other too much.

So, the key would be to delicately adjust all of that, a little bit at a time, so that you get relief without leaving you unable to process emotions at all.

I think that’s where the “power” would be best directed for most people. Keeping mental shit from being overwhelming.

The obvious exception is stuff like my arthritis, autoimmune disorders. The ability to just say “nope, don’t attack that at all” would be bonkers. Think about it, Crohn’s, MS, all the horrible shit that can happen when the immune system is out of whack, that’s within the scope of what you’re asking.

Hell, if you want to stretch it, most cancers are part of the function of the organ they’re in. It’s the normal cells going batshit and replicating out of control. So you’d never have to worry about cancer.

That would be incredible.
