> The small doses, like coffee, help to optimize normal processes. Giant doses of either will deplete energy stores. [[Sugar]], [[salt]], [[milk]], [[gelatin]], juice, etc., help to restore the reserves. > [follow-up: Is this effect on electronic [[resonance]] just related to its anti [[serotonin]] effects or is it somthing more? Would [[cyproheptadine]] or lisuride have this effect?] Things that protect against “reductive stress” (an excess of metabolic electrons) protect the sensitivities of cells that make coherent integrated function possible. Szent-Gyorgyi talked about an intracellular integration made possible by maintaining a partially oxidized state of proteins, and I’m thinking about intercellular communication of this electronic state. Stress shifts metabolism away from this condition. Once the state exists, it tends to be stable by itself, without drugs, in the absence of stress. > If I were in a place where it's not illegal, I think I would want to occasionally use 10 mcg quantities. I think it's one of the things that can help to maintain the proper electronic [[resonance]] of the organism. (Have you heard any of Luca Turin's talks on [[resonance]]?) > I'm not familiar with it, but I assume it would be a [[serotonin]] antagonist [LSA]. > [long-term effects] It acts as a learning ce, and can affect your general attitudes; if the amount is excessive, causing depletion of [[brain]] glycogen, I think it can lead to prolonged defensive attitudes, probably with a rebound of [[serotonin]]. > [mechanism of LSD] Things that protect against “reductive stress” (an excess of metabolic electrons) protect the sensitivities of cells that make coherent integrated function possible.
