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.

I've had amazing experiences with 25g of San Pedro powder (corresponding to an estimated 250mg mescaline) in two festivals this year. Mescaline is the best psychedelic for more extroverted purposes IME. The effects for me are very similar to MDMA, with less euphoria but still LOTS of love. The benefits over MDMA IMO are no need to redose (since mescaline lasts 12h+) and less likely neurotoxicity (at least it hasn't been found according to the literature AFAIK, but as we all know "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", so proceed at your own risks). You may want to follow a protocol similar to MDMA to avoid toxicity, such as not mixing with caffeine, maybe taking Vitamin E and similar antioxidants, etc., if you want to be very strict about it).
-
Indeed, great idea and thanks again @What Am I. Btw, how long do your Vaporhuasca trips last if you take the MAOIs orally? Defo interesting, thanks for sharing. I might try it at some point, when the time for it arises. Have you been using SubQ for nn-DMT too? I would imagine that if someone gets a handle on oral ROA they'd have less incentives to go for SubQ. For 5-MeO-DMT that's a different story of course.

MAO is actually present in many bodily tissues, including the gut, liver, brain. It also serves to break down serotonin, and therefore, having mind-altering effects in itself (w/o accompanying DMT, but it also prevents DMT to be broken down in the brain). So its role in traditional Ayahuasca is greater than just allowing DMT to bypass the digestive tract. That said, there are indeed few reports of people using it rectally, as Leo said. I was also interested in this ROA to smooth-out my vaporized trips -- I feel the vapor ROA kinda shocks my system. What I am trying is doing the classic Pharmahuasca version: B. Caapi TPA extract followed by oral DMT mixed with fresh orange juice (for the freebase DMT to be neutralized into the water-solluble DMT citrate) 30 mins later. I am reporting my results here.
-
Reporting back, I tried Pharmahuasca orally today without success. I suspect the B. Caapi TPA is not as concentrated as I expected, or the DMT dose I used not enough (30mg mixed on orange juice) for my personal bioavailability. I will try again soon and report back, next time with more TPA drops (orally) and 50mg DMT (orally). I can tell it must be the MAOIs because I also tried vaporhuasca (few drops sublingually, then 15mg DMT vaporized), and the trip was almost the same in length as with pure DMT. The peak was quite intense, but my goal moving forward is to smooth it out via alternative ROAs (e.g., oral). Have people tried plugging n,n-DMT (after administration of MAOIs)?

After I completely cleaned my diet, I started experiencing discomfort when eating pasta. Another thing you notice, if you have a low sodium diet, is how dehydrated the body gets after eating heavy/processed foods (e.g., pizza). Let me share my banana-oats cookie recipe. It's super easy. I don't eat them much anymore cause I'm also avoiding cooking toxins, but it defo is way better than any ready-made alternative. Here you go: Video Recipe Pre-heat oven for 175C Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (paper manteiga) Two large, fully ripe bananas Mash the bananas until they’re like a baby food pure Add 1.5 cup (= 350ml) of oats Add 0.5 cup (=120ml) of chocolate chips Bake the cookies for 13-15 mins (or until they’re lightly golden on the edges) You should get about 15 cookies.

Cheers! You can frame it as time you get back to focus on more meaningful endeavors and connections. If you search you can easily find people who are non drinkers too.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I will definitely do the microplastics test if the price happens to be reasonable. As for cancer, I think a prevention-centered paradigm is more sustainable than a detection-centered one. Our society currently puts millions on developing these technologies but very little in incentivizing people to have better habits. Of course, having both prevention and detection available is better than a single one of them. Assuming cancer screening tools do not contribute significatively to future cancer risk.

For me Mescaline is very similar to MDMA, with a bit less euphoria. Personally, I try to avoid MDMA as much as possible due to its well-documented neurotoxicity. If you decide to do MDMA, do it the right way: properly test and weigh the substance. Use the protocol described in recent studies (IIRC, 80mg+40mg or 120mg+60mg, please verify this). Avoid caffeine and other substances that increase MDMA neurotoxicity. You should not take MDMA more than 50 times in your life according to what I heard a researcher saying. That said, who knows what other psychedelics do to our system and we're all doing them anyway.

Every time we deviate from our ancestral ways of living we take great risks. Great risk requires great rewards. If the rewards of getting the veneers are not clear or significant, carefully consider your decision. If the rewards are clear, significant, and durable, then you may go for it. There is no rush for such kinds of procedures, you can always do them in the future. Just sharing my consertivative approach to health.
