Title: 3 Weeks Pain-Free!!!
Post by Langa on May 4th, 2005, 8:50am
As some of you might know, I first dosed with philosopher's stones the end of January.  I've been episodic for 26 years and my last cycle in June 2004 never stopped, so the possibility of me becoming chronic had me look to alternative treatment.  

After dosing, I had 3 wonderful PF weeks.  The next dose was on Hawaiian cubensis.  What I noticed about the Hawaiian cubensis as opposed to the stones is that I got hit during the dosing and I had to make it in tea or I would suffer severe nausea – a small price to pay, in my opinion, to be medicine and pain-free.  Once the initial side effects subsided, I got anywhere from 4-8 days PF between dosing.  Prior to that I was getting hit between 4-8 times a day.  Before going higher on the dose, I spoke to Bob and we decided to have me try the LSA seeds instead.   I learned the trick is to not give up and find what works for you.

I remember laughing when I first saw them.  They looked like dried up capers and I was thinking how could this work and to only start with 2 seeds to me seemed like such a small dose for it to do anything.  In either case, I decided to try them.  I cracked the outer shell, smashed the inner seed and put in water as I was instructed, let it sit for 2 hours and then drank the green slime.   I sat back waiting for the nausea or the hit or whatever initial side-effects I would suffer before feeling PF again.  Six hours after dosing I got a level 8 cluster that I aborted with 02 and then I shadowed for 2 days after and nothing since, and I mean nothing, not even a twinge.  In total, I've been PF for 3 weeks! Right now it's been 10 days since my last dose with the seeds.  

I don't have to tell you how wonderful it is to take a nap and eat a meal and just plain sleep without the constant dread and fear of a hit.  I'm thoroughly enjoying this PF time!

I'm going to continue with the seeds and will keep you updated.  

I don't know what the future holds, but for now life is very good and I am fully enjoying it.  

Wishing you all PFDAN's.

Hugs,
Langa

WhooHoo!!!

That's great!! Congrats and enjoy!

Question: How often do you dose? Will you need to continue dosing or do you wait for signs it may be back?

Nani…I always wait for signs it may be back before dosing.  This way I have an idea how the doses are working and for how long.

Me too Langa - please keep us posted.  I feel that LSA may well be the way forward in the UK now that fresh psilocybe mushrooms are illegal to purchase.

Hi Maria,

I must thank you, Jokrs2, and Bobw for sharing your success and all help and assistance offered! I tried 4 HBWR seeds 3 days ago and have been completely painfree since. This is truly a miracle for me. I never would have thought 4 little seeds would have such power over this beast. Even if the beast  comes back on me, I now know what to take to completely stop him in his tracks. LSA has become a true godsend for me.

Sincerely,
Bob
