Mescaline

3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenethylamine (also known as mescaline) is a naturally-occurring classical psychedelic substance of the phenethylamine class.[1] It occurs naturally in the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii),[2] San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi),[3] Peruvian Torch cactus (Echinopsis...

This appears to provide a nice variation of effects in comparison to other references, while staying ok gentle. Added to the shopping cart of planned experiences



The whole world is a cactus
It is impossible to sit down
In life, there are only cactus
I pride myself on knowing it
Ouch! ouch! ouch !, ouch !, ouch! ouch! ouch!

In their hearts there are cactus
In their wallets there are cactus
Under their feet there are cactus
In their waistcoat, there are cactus
Ouch! ouch! ouch !, ouch! ouch! ouch !, ouch!

To defend myself from their cactus
In my turn I took cactus

In my bed, I put cactus
In my underpants, I put cactus
Ouch! ouch! ouch !, ouch !, ouch! ouch! ouch!

In their smiles there are cactus
In their bellies there are cactus
In their hello there are cactus
In their cactus, there are cactus
Ouch! ouch! ouch !, ouch !, ouch!

The whole world is a cactus
It is impossible to sit down

Fuck, last month, I tried to outsmart a small debt I was a victim of when a corporate paid me twice a due amount by error. I then closed my account and disappeared, considering that international procedures are complicated to handle
Today, I received a love letter from a debt collector in Austria, alongside with a fine grrr. I'm continuing to game cause the arguments are inexistent and no proofs are provided. They committed mistakes in the procedure. Life's a game, I'll stop when it heats before legal action, until now, I win time and lose few interests

About Berberine, it doesn't help me to lose weight further, I reached a ceiling (now sport will be mandatory to conclude the last mile and 3-5 kilos) but I imagine that it contributes to keep it stable without mental torture around efforts that I don't produce. It is however heavy on the stomach, you can tell it propagates as a little bit strong

In jargon, this is what is called a parabolic move
Almost invested 30k € at 3 cents at the end of 2018. Unfortunately, depression convinced me I was bound to CTB and didn't. Again in 2019
It must be the 3rd time since 2015 that I fail very closely, missing such opportunities. Previously, it was from receiving pressure from my surroundings and distrust that I didn't act. fOOk

At the moment, whole spaces are rearranging themselves, full of crazy opportunities cause the world is changing big time, anchoring with new models. Fortunately, the market access is uberised so can be approached and taken advantage of. The cards are redistributed. So many rookies, including jerks, are starting from scratch and end up rich in sometimes as soon as just a single month. It takes to be curious and attentive about the current innovations principally. But clearly, it's very open nowadays, for those who develop their knowledge independently and are committed. It's now or never to be pro-active, and since some time. It takes to look somewhere else than your own feet in loop mode of negativity. There are things to do, and fields to conquer.

Wondering when it will be my turn. I'd consider to be extremely unlucky if I continue to miss out eternally. I had so many anticipations right, but the application with conviction is the hardest tricky part when it's counter-intuitive, even more so when polluted by external factors. I don't remember the exact term, but my friends nicknamed me as someone who has visions or the vista. Gotta live up to the hype now lol finally make the tables turn to disgrace many situations. Value is created but wealth can be transferred easily at the kingdom of thieves and players. Dream and take chances

Are there other fans of luggage words ? The one of today : oraclette, when you oversee the futur by reading a cheese plate

Since yesterday, I'm experiencing some tingling under my skin all over my body randomly, that triggers without warning ...when I'm in contact with water lol Looks like a funky byproduct of my regimen ? Never went through this before ...or it may be a sign I'm slowly but surely morphing into a Gremlins Hope it will pass, else I will have to postulate to Hollywood for the 3rd episode and get a Grammy award ofthe best costume (without). It seems I'm still not green or with tortoiseshell. Relieved, but for how long.

 

[Viro_Major]

Ok, this symptom appears very off and funny and also not funny at the same time since out of control.
Trying to figure from where it is coming. I have been taking double doses of DHEA since 3 days, to catch up after I skipped some days entirely. That's the main difference I can attest. I'll play it cool again tommorrow

edit: ah, not only, also doubled up the concentrated saffran extract. Got half chances of identification where the the leak is, here

Allright, ultimately DHEA is not such kid's stuff. Fortunate alarm sign leading to cautionary tale findings

woosh, persistency is key
3 years that I was trying to make some hands meet about a profit loop. I finally found the missing link that permits me to join the dots between several knowledges
I have now a way to generate +25% infinitely on small amounts, and shop at the whole Amazon catalogue at a discount of -40%.
could do some trading with this loophole but I don't want to spend my time at something this inept. I also couldn't delegate such task or my idea would be stolen, unless to someone I have absolute confidence into

ok so my body now has a tendency to itch or tingle. It's a curious sensation :/ maybe it has to do with my blood circulation and/or my nerves' sensitivity rising ? Too bad I can't tell. I wonder if I should discontinue everything for a moment or consult a doctor. I would hate it if I had to drop my mental well-being, finally approached, to trade it against a health concern :[ why does it have to be so close to solution, yet suddenly so far

[Deleted member 1465]

I currently suffer from burning ears, as if I had sunburn. The only explanation I have for this is either peripheral neuropathy, which is a distinct possibility, or reaction so medication and/or supplementation.
Question: how in the life of you can you distinguish between causal factors when you have so many inputs?

 

[Viro_Major]

Ah, I was searching the term earlier but peripheral neuropathy hints pretty close.

I admit openly I absolutely can't and likely a doctor would be lost too, if not dismayed. At this point, there could be so many interactions. Only a mess is to be distinguished.

Yet overall, outside of the little disagreement (happened 2 times today), I feel pretty good with surprises, that even occasionally go past expectations.
At times, I tell myself "whoops, where does this surge of energy comes from", or again, I'm achieving erections that may be better than my teenager years lol
Tbh, the past days, there were moments when I stopped myself and pondered about the path traveled cause it appears to be huge and I continue to forecast some margin room

Certainly though, I'm not following all guidelines to the letter always and even taking small distances against caution.
I try to give thoughts about the times when I couple what, also versus my activities, to have in mind synergies facing situations hypothetically, but I'm eye-balling. My moves are empirical more than scientific

I don't know. When I read about Ayurveda, it was encouraging to take as much as you could, neglecting the fear of overload towards diversification. Only an isolated stance.
Clearly, this is exploration and I'm exposing myself to turn as a mutant ;)
I'm not taking it as a joke since I've witnessed SS members who have been destroyed by small mistakes, but rather about pharma ...yet at the same time, it's so night and day versus when I was suffering profoundly, I don't even know if I have the heart to slow down.

Complicated !

edit: I will post a summary of articles I based my assessment on later tonight (I had promised this compilation)

 

[Viro_Major]

 

[Viro_Major]

As due, as giving back after members who contributed to put me in the right track of believing with openness : @Sensei @dandan @Quarky00 @Aap @Brick In The Wall @Jumper Geo @BleuNuit @K-O @BlackPoppet
Here's a summary of some of the usages of most of natural and legal ingredients, so readers can get derive some inspiration with ideas.
Some will react at these tracks by considering them gimmicks, but you'd be oh so wrong. This route is really a pandora box. When you open it, it becomes fascinating how these left behind components that exist around us in different states can make the difference, not only about one symptom but generally towards multiple health systems at once.
As always, due your own diligence and never follow guidances blindly.

NB: if addressing your condition isn't listed, you shall research it cause there are likely several solutions at disposal, for what they're worth to explore

NB2: might compile a similar list but for mild, barely if at all harmful (if disciplined consumption) illegal stuff (only magic truffles/shrooms are here present), once I develop some experience. For now, I consider myself a rookie in the field

edit: I don't know why some links extends with a snapshot and others don't when they appear to be the same type. I formated the resistant data (noticing limitations) like I could.

As due, as giving back after members who contributed to put me in the right track of believing with openness : @Sensei @dandan @Quarky00 @Aap @Brick In The Wall @Jumper Geo @BleuNuit @K-O @BlackPoppet
Here's a summary of some of the usages of most of natural and legal ingredients, so readers can get derive some inspiration with ideas.
Some will react at these tracks by considering them gimmicks, but you'd be oh so wrong. This route is really a pandora box. When you open it, it becomes fascinating how these left behind components that exist around us in different states can make the difference, not only about one symptom but generally towards multiple health systems at once.
As always, due your own diligence and never follow guidances blindly.

NB: if addressing your condition isn't listed, you shall research it cause there are likely several solutions at disposal, for what they're worth to explore

NB2: might compile a similar list but for mild, barely if at all harmful (if disciplined consumption) illegal stuff (only magic truffles/shrooms are here present), once I develop some experience. For now, I consider myself a rookie in the field

edit: I don't know why some links extends with a snapshot and others don't when they appear to be the same type. I formated the resistant data (noticing limitations) like I could.

Here we go again, borders closed for at least a month. Stuck inside my lilliputian jail country. It messes about most of my plans to advance that I aimed to complete this year. Can't pass new exam, can't pass new driving licence, can't visit places to imagine where to settle next and the consequences, can't pass health control checks, can't collect gear I need. Must revise the big picture and all moves accordingly. Pff :(
What a Spartan race to have the strange idea to recover !

NB. If @Quarky00 was still here, I do believe he'd be proud of all that info in one place. He'd probably have chucked in a few graphs though too. I miss him.

Quarky spent quite some time with me at explaining basic things early on. The experience he provided didn't quite match with me, still I was touched about the caring attention he offered. But I could be as specific with gratitude with everyone I mentioned earlier. Indeed he is missed. Or is he chiling at a theme park ? Nobody will know for sure ;)

 

[Viro_Major]

woosh, persistency is key
3 years that I was trying to make some hands meet about a profit loop. I finally found the missing link that permits me to join the dots between several knowledges
I have now a way to generate +25% infinitely on small amounts, and shop at the whole Amazon catalogue at a discount of -40%.
could do some trading with this loophole but I don't want to spend my time at something this inept. I also couldn't delegate such task or my idea would be stolen, unless to someone I have absolute confidence into

when you manage to break barriers, after it's possible to expand free of obstacles !
I found yet again a +15% segment to add to the loop
in concrete, I can now transform a card purchase of $100 to +/- $145 on PayPal
as soon as PayPal will go unrestricted in my country (planned), allowing withdrawal to local banks, I will be able to transform $100 of credit card to $190 at Amazon which is nuts. Kinda proud of my ingenuity !

By helping people at SS, it helps me so much to help myself, by sorting out my ideas with clarity, when I do some summaries of knowledge for instance, I then foresee bridges all the more easily. Before I had the puzzle pieces in possession but now I'm a step further at sorting and assembly them.
Reaching out with others instead of staying in my own bubble unravels the knots. It's ace. It's exactly how I envision life. Do good to do well. It really goes hand in hand. Alone we're nothing but together we grow

Spoiler

So yesterday, I received this PM which occurs to be some of the nicest synthetised feedback I was granted here. It arrives as a massive encouragement to continue on this slope. A huge thanks to the person concerned for the bouncing reciprocity, it takes guts to open up without shame, without second / after thoughts. These words are amplifying the reality and that's the whole point, to create a human chain which extends in meaning and foundations. You naturally warmed my heart big time and some. I promise I will focus to not get demotivated but go with the flow and surf the tide

@Viro_Major I finally got around to reading most of the links.

My two takeaways are:

Berberine. I'd like to try it, as it sounds like it may have a positive influence on blood sugar management and insulin resistance. Interestingly, there is a huge Oregon grape tree just out my back gate! And a Barberry bush in the back field too. I'd like to try a supplement and I'd be interested in your opinion in sourcing a good quality supplement available in the UK. Any ideas?

BPA. Last year I virtually gave up eating and didn't have a BM for almost a month. I nearly died. The road back from that has been slow and involved much experimentation with food and supplements as well as medication. Unfortunately, the first step on this road was canned food. Simple, cheap, basic soups etc. Useful as a base to add other stuff to.
I still rely on canned food in this way and it's also useful to have as a backup in these difficult times.
That's not ideal.
I wonder, accepting that it's less than ideal, is there any mileage to transferring the contents of part used cans to non BPA plastic ware to refrigerate for later? (like a can of peaches will last me three or four uses in the fridge).

 

[Viro_Major]

@Underscore Hey, that shows some dedication you reviewed it all. Glad it served

good call. The only thing I dislike about Berberine is the fact it's the heaviest supplement for my stomach, it upsets it a little. You'll see if you ever taste it, it's overtaking strong. Funny you coincidentally got the tree it's extracted from in your backyard. Guess it's an opportunity to seal the bond and hug it with gratitude if satisfied ;)
I think it might be a super smart association for those who drink! The properties just make sense about regulating some parameter leakages. Keep us updated
so I buy 95% of my gear in the UK. I make your economy work :) It's the most economical for me although not the most eco-friendly. Berberine happens among the most expensive supplement, possibly but not always, check the site https://5greens.co.uk/collections/our-products they have an affordable one and they tick all the boxes ...of advertising anyway
usually I try to avoid the packagings in bulk and also pay attention over the origin. When it comes from Asia there are concerns about heavy metals and stuff

BPA. Oh boy, you put me to the test on this one I don't store long-term varied food in advance except indeed for lenses and rice in cardboard with survival in mind. I don't use canned food myself

@Viro_Major another question for you about dosage. What does this effectively mean re doseage?

Berberine Extract 10,000mg 400mg 25:1

I understand it's 10,000mg of plant rendered down into 400mg of extract (25:1), does that mean for a recommended dose of say 800mg a day, you would take two capsules at 400mg? Seems obvious, just wondered if I was missing something...

I think the dose for berberine is 500mg, 3 times a day.

I understand it's 10,000mg of plant rendered down into 400mg of extract (25:1), does that mean for a recommended dose of say 800mg a day, you would take two capsules at 400mg? Seems obvious, just wondered if I was missing something...

I think the dose for berberine is 500mg, 3 times a day.

no, your analysis is correct mate

I was taking 2x 500mg personally due to the little inconvenience mentioned earlier and now only 500 but 3x 500 is standard
start with 400 morning and evening and if you support it, add it at lunchtime, preferably during or after meals

That's what I thought, many thanks. Ordered and will test them out.

Despite whirlpools seeking to engulf me, yesterday was a perfect day. Everything flowed my way. There was no effort to produce. I was floating down the river on a raft. Wishing myself these as the norm, not the exception.




Not being alone in this ballad, there will come a time where obviously I expect to share this levitation with those who make it possible with their care. You know who you are
