myrrh+analgesic

Myrrh has a warm, rich, spicy balsamic odour that is sometimes slightly bitter, and was, like frankincense, an extremely valuable commodity during ancient times. It was mainly used in the embalming process, to delay the decay of the body and to mask the noxious odours.

During biblical times myrrh, both as a powder and as the essential oil, was also used in expensive perfumes.

Myrrh resin has since been shown to be anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimicrobial and antiseptic, and is still used today in mouthwashes and toothpastes, and in a number of liniments and healing salves for minor skin problems.

Until morphine and other painkillers were introduced, myrrh was a common analgesic. Myrrh is nowadays used as a constituent in some cosmetics, and as a flavouring in foods.

Vinpocetine--derived from an alkaloid extract of Voacanga africana--may be another plant-based ingredient that has benefit in the fight against depression. Vinpocetine is commonly used to improve memory and enhance concentration, according to Locarno, Switzerland-based Linnea. Vinpocetine has also been indicated for improving conditions that occur as a result of insufficient blood flow to the brain, including mood changes and depression. Animal research demonstrated vinpocetine's ability to increase cerebral blood flow after two weeks of intravenous injections.³⁰ And, a human study demonstrated that vinpocetine reached the brain 10 minutes after oral administration.³¹

Iboga

Ibogaine

At therapeutic doses, ibogaine has an active window of 24 to 48 hours, is often physically and mentally exhausting and produces ataxia for as long as twelve hours, in some cases even longer. Nausea that may lead to vomiting is not uncommon throughout the experience. Such unpleasant symptoms tend to reduce the attractiveness of ibogaine as a recreational drug at therapeutic doses, however, at lower doses ibogaine is known to have stimulant effects. Some users administer ibogaine by enema in order to avoid nausea.

At low doses, ibogaine has a mild stimulant effect. At higher doses, temporary effects include hallucination and ataxia.

poppy seed tea

clipper's remarks: excellent way to make poppy seed tea.

Clip Source: www.bluelight.ru

Don't ever expose poppy seeds to boiling water, it will cause them to swell and soak up all the water and goodies.

Take an empty clean gatorade bottle, pour in the seeds, add WARM water to slightly cover the seeds, swish around and make sure there is enough water to cover the seeds, now seal the bottle and give it 100-200 good shakes, shake the hell out of that bottle, now turn it upside down over a large cup or bowl and slowly open the lid of the bottle just til the liquid is seeping out, now squeeze the side of the bottle until you have all the liquid, now drink and enjoy, works best on an empty stomach and make sure you have something to chase it with(I like cranberry juice), you can give the seeds a second wash but you already have like 90% of the alkaloids.

Morpheus and Morphine

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 06:51:34 GMT

clipped by: relitaliano

Clip Source: opioids.com

Morphine was first isolated by Friedrich Wilhelm Sertürner in 1805. Sertürner named his discovery after Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams. Morpheus is the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep. Morpheus has two brothers, Icelus and Phantasus. In Greek mythology, dreams were sent out to man passing through one of two gates: a gate of horn from which true dreams came; and a gate of ivory, from which passed dreams that were false. Icelus gave man dreams of birds or beasts. Phantasus gave man dreams of inanimate objects. Morpheus had the capacity to assume the form of any and every human being. His father Hypnos sent him out into the night to appear as a loved one in mortal dreams.

Tweakers...in Space! (10/18/05)

If nothing else, meth users tend to be...creative. In the case of two Kentucky men, sleepless nights resulted in the perfect scheme to get rid of their stash should they be pulled over by law enforcement while out for a drive:

Through a system of wires, pulleys and cables, the trunk could be opened and the rocket raised into firing position and launched, all from within the car. Once airborne, the three foot tall rocket was designed to scatter it's payload of meth to the winds. Sadly, the young inventors missed their opportunity to put the theory to the test; when pulled over by police, they ditched the car and fled on foot.

MR WIZARD GAME

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 08:40:17 GMT

Clip Source: www.spiritual-happiness.com

Our parents did not discourage these interests. In fact, they were teaching about the various categories of paranormal phenomena in their ever-popular high-school psychology classes. Our mother even seemed to think she had some special psychic abilities – or at least she wanted others to think so. Around this time, our mother started hanging out with "a group of witches." I never knew much about them, except that she liked to impress them with her friend, the Wizard.

Here’s how it worked. First, my mother would have one of her witch friends pull a card from a deck at random, let's say the six of diamonds. Then she would phone our house. I'd answer the phone, and she would ask "May I speak to the Wizard?"

This was my cue to play the game. I would begin to recite the four card suits, "Spades, clubs, diamonds. . ."

As soon as I said "diamonds," my mother would say, "Yes, I'll hold," and I would quickly begin to recite the card numbers.

When I reached "six," she would say, "Hello Mr. Wizard."

Then my mother would hand the phone to her friends, and I would speak in my deepest, most wizard-like voice, "Your card is the six of diamonds."

Her witch friends were amazed. All they heard was, "May I speak to the Wizard? Yes, I'll hold. Hello, Mr. Wizard." And there would be the Wizard with their randomly chosen card.

From this game, I learned that apparently paranormal events might, in fact, have an everyday explanation.

Love Poem #12

Are There Angels?

It is said there are Angels
In Heaven above
And they shine with the light

Of an inner love

Of these things
I had not a clue
But that was

Before I found you

For in you I’ve found
A love that is so right
It shines all around

With the brightest of light

It comes from somewhere
So deep within
That it has no beginning

And knows no end

Your love is a light
That brightens each day
Of all of the people

You see on your way

Where ever you go
Or whatever you do
All see the love

That you have inside you

That God sent you here
To a place where you’d be
Sharing such love

With someone like me

Is proof for me
That angels exist
And are filled with a love

That no man could resist

I thank God each day
For finding the time
For looking down on me

And making you mine

So yes there are Angels
In heaven above
I know because God

Sent me one to love

Love Poem #11

My Vow To You

When you are sad, I will dry your tears
When you are scared, I will comfort your fears
When you need love, my heart I will share

When you are sick, for you I will care

You will feel my love when we are apart
Knowing that nothing will change my heart
When you are worried, I will give you hope

When you are confused, I will help you cope

When you are lost, and can’t see the light
My love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright
This is my vow, one that I pledge till the end

For you above all are my wife and best friend

These words I have written, speak of my love for you
From my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true
God has blessed me, and with your hand in mine

Both of our hearts, will forever intertwine

Into all lives, falls pain and sorrows,
I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows
Happy in marriage, honor and love

blessed in unity by God above

- Earl J. Dawson Jr. -
