I've shared an occasion where I did it on mushrooms on this thread: I think it ties to the idea being discussed there -- deep tripping unleashes deep energies from within ourselves. Normally I consider myself very mentally stable, but that trip took me off-guard.

I did something similar in a stage green festival. Took a big dose of mushrooms, went into the woods, took all my clothes off, and started screaming with an energy coming so deep from within myself I would never ever ever imagine I possessed such capacity. It was a huge awakening where I became the whole Universe and these screams were bursts of energy flowing from parts of myself into other parts, like volcanos communicating with each other around a planet. I screamed so loud that the security guards found me and luckily handled the situation gracefully.

This was a great video; it matched what I had already researched about microsplastics. It is extra-hard work indeed; the idea is to pull the highest levers and then go from there. I think Bryan's audience is usually on the end of the spectrum where they're already doing many of these things so they try to do as much as possible (like myself).

How can it be, given they're full of Omega-6, potentially disrupting Omega-6-to-Omega-3 ratio? I haven't done a lot of research but that's the first thing I'd look at, would I ever consider adding these to my diet.

Salt, Oil, and Sugar-free diet. I think the term was originally coined by Dr. Goldhamer, the director of the True North Health Center, an institution that has supervised more than 25k people doing prolonged water-only fasting. The idea is to minimize exposure to these chemicals that are not only empty calories (void of micronutrients) but that also make food hyper-palatable, contributing to overeating, as @Schizophonia guessed

Great idea. Another one: if you plan re-dose prior to the first hit, you could set aside the second dose considering the total combined dose is a safe one. Also making sure you can't redose more than that. E.g., if it's safe to take 20mg of 5-MeO in a single shot, you could do 10mg then leave a redose ready of 10mg, and lock away the rest. Use this idea at your own risk, and double check dosages - this was just an example.

SOS-free diet.

IME, you CAN gain muscle without gaining fat. Even if you're an experienced lifter. The huge caveat is: it'll just take A LOT longer (esp. for non-beginners) versus doing the age-old bulking and cutting cycles. See the video attached. It's up to you to decide what you want. If you don't want to lose weight, the best is to consistently track your food intake and your weight, and adjust as you go. Using an app like Cronometer can help you make fine adjustments, and become more aware of how much calorie/protein is in the different foods you eat.

Quite awesome! Thanks for sharing. A few questions about: Why avoiding denatured foods? Due to cooking toxins such as Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), Acrylamide, Heterocyclic amines, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.? Why avoid Soy, Tofu? Agrotoxics? Why avoid Protein shakes? Heavy metals?

Quite cool, they've got loads of interesting recipes.

Quite awesome, thanks @Princess Arabia!

Thanks for the tip and references! It makes a lot of sense indeed. Since I live in Switzerland, I am not sure the isolated powders are legal here, I'll double check. But what I can easily do is buy some Syrian Rue seeds for boiling. A bit more cumbersome, have you had experience with this? Haha I've been to several ceremonies and I always go for the second shot. That said, it's hard to tell how much the facilitators there are putting. Usually here in Europe they acquire or store some form of paste, which is a reduced/concentrated form of the original brew. Then they dilute that into water to give to participants in the ceremony. The paste is stored on plastic containers for God knows how long so one can easily assume part of the active ingredients are degraded. That is another reason why I don't feel comfortable with these ceremonies anymore, I just feel the quality of the substance is bad. Makes sense. I think I just have had bad luck with this acquisition of the extract. I'll report back when I get to try Pharmahuasca with a different type/batch of MAOIs.

Thanks to great advice I've gotten in here To be clear, the guy who sold me told me that 15 drops would contain about 150 milligrams of each of the alkaloids. I should have asked about more details. What I've noticed today is that the weight of drop can be inconsistent. My calculation on the 375mg of harmine was to calculate a safe upper bound, since I was going to double the dose. My thought was: "ok, even if it contains 30% harmine by weight I'm still not way beyond uncharted territory". But it should be less, as you mentioned. Very cool study indeed. Considering that in ceremonies Ayahuasca is usually administered twice (sometimes even a third shot is offered), and in my experiences the second shot is usually smaller than the first, wouldn't it make sense to multiply the numbers by a bit more than 100 instead? Or in these 100ml are you already including the two shots? I was thinking of experimenting with this, indeed, thanks for mentioning. I have the impression that having at least some MAOIs at the same DMT drink may reduce the quantity of DMT broken in the stomach, despite people generally suggesting to take first the MAOIs and then DMT. I also wonder if splitting the dose in two could contribute to higher absorption of the second hit. Considering that Ayahuasca and Chakruna are traditionally brewed together (my guess), there is no way to, e.g., tweak the concentrations of MAOIs/DMT before first and second shots. So over time shamans realized that splitting it into two hits was the way to go.

Indeed! I managed to improve the dose today. I weighed 1250mg of my B. Caapi extract (double than yesterday). Assuming it contains 30% Harmine, this correponds to 375mg Harmine, which is about the typical Ayahuasca dose, according to a research study I saw (see below, Harmine dose was 7x that of DMT). Then I took 35mg DMT dissolved into white vinegar about 16 minutes later. I tested the shorter timespan between MAOI and DMT to see if my body could be processing the alkaloids too quickly. It seemed to work best, tho hard to tell if it was the MAOI dose that made the difference. The trip was emotional and slightly visual. Towards the end of my trip I boosted it by vaporizing about 8mg DMT (hard to measure accurately such low doses), which lead me to some profound insights onto myself and the people in my life. The onset of the vaporized DMT was indeed slower and the character of the trip different, as you described @What Am I. Next time I plan to try the same amount of the B. Caapi extract and boost the oral DMT dose to 70mg.
