    Anyone tried ketamine?

    I'm not familiar with sodium benzoate's uses before other than it's a preservative found in foods and drinks as E211, but here's some of its medical uses: Sodium Benzoate: Uses, Dangers, and Safety https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/sodium-benzoate I haven't tried ketamine yet but I'm mostly...

    Comment by 'eon' in 'Covid-19 has made me ponder whether humanity is that great after all?'

    Anyone else get the hunch that the virus feels more like it's in "the air" all around us? There have been people that got sick that weren't even close to being "exposed" to anyone that was sick. I'm not sure why the Australian wildfires that killed over a billion animals last year isn't looked...

    How are copper pillows great for sleep and antibacterial?

    None of those at all. I've tried supplemental copper so I know the difference. Are you saying not to use a pillowcase?

    How are copper pillows great for sleep and antibacterial?

    Most supplements I've tried and worked for sleep such as ZMK have copper in it. I'm just curious though how a copper pillow or anything copper that's not a pill would have any effect on me. I could actually feel it working. Is it due to its electrical conductivity? I've just tried a copper...

    Humanity is great? We treat each other with respect? You might want to reiterate all the things you've assumed.

    Sponge bathing

    I wonder how to use witch hazel for "evening out the skin" (whatever that means lol). My forearms are darker than my arms. I guess this could use some witch hazel? Am I better off with a body wash with witch hazel or what? Any suggestions?

    Sponge bathing

    Regarding witch hazel; how do I use or apply this to my skin? Is this as good as isopropyl alcohol for cleaning or it's totally different? I just bought a bottle at Walmart.

    Hydroxychloroquine / Plaquenil and the Covid-19 / Coronavirus

    Any opinion on Isoprinosine? It was discussed on this forum few years ago regarding other viral infections so I thought I'd bring it up. I believe it's more of an immunomodulator and was wondering how I can buy it here in the U.S.

    anyone here use proviron to great results?

    I don't believe my inquiry has anything to do with Proviron and CFS issues whatsoever, just a question if Proviron is good for its intended use and if anyone here has ever tried it.

    Anyone tried ketamine?

    From what I've read from people was that taking Ketamine orally has low bioavailability, maybe unless what you took was formulated to be taken orally and has good enough bioavailability? What was it that you took exactly?

    Anyone tried ketamine?

    I'm curious where you get your transdermal magnesium? Is it more potent than simply supplementing with 400 mg or higher of oral magnesium? I have yet to find a domestic seller of xenon gas for human use. I found a Chinese one on Ebay but I'm not sure I trust the source. He told me it's human...

    I'm curious if anyone here know more about iodine supplementation? I had read great reviews about Lugol's iodine on amazon. One reviewer stated that iodine is the most potent antifungal there is. I wonder what it can do for all of us with these lyme and toxo issues (I have some lyme traces, but...

    Hypoxic Brain Damage Swollen Lymph Nodes, Toxoplasmosis, Bacterial Infection, Head Numbness

    I wish I could find the article or so that I read. It wasn't just a claim by some schmoe from a forum. It was a legitimate claim. If true, there should be studies on pubmed if anyone care to provide sources here. Either way I'd still need to get my tetanus shot since it has been over 10 years...

    any experience with kavinace?

    Glad to know my intuition was correct. I had a strong feeling about it. If anyone knows, do doctors get a commission for medications they prescribe either from the rep or direct from the pharmaceuticals (and their rep, etc.). Anyone know how the prescription drug business work?

    I'm curious how you people have heard of Kavinace? Was it recommended by a doctor? Someone told me that her doctor who has another practice recommended her Kavinace, but it isn't covered by insurance and these products put out by Neuro Science can get expensive when you can get the bulk powders...

    What was the minocycline script for? So 1 week at what dose? 100mg or 200mg daily? Minocycline also is said to work for Toxo as salvage treatment.

    Hypoxic Brain Damage Swollen Lymph Nodes, Toxoplasmosis, Bacterial Infection, Head Numbness

    I looked up how to treat Toxoplasmosis with Atovaquone on drugs.com and the dose seem high (750mg) and the length of treatment as well 2-6 months. Maybe I'm naive considering the most I've ever been on antibiotic was about a week. Then again Minocycline is said to be ok to take daily year round...
