Hello everyone, I love and miss you all... haven't posted for years due to having had a kid and now having to be a responsible father, but have continued following the path to the best of my abilities.
I have worked with rue for years and yes, after a manske NaCl precip, I add sodium carbonate and get something much darker colored - quantity can vary greatly from batch to batch.
Am surprised to hear this fraction tested and came up as harmine/harmaline... am questioning ability of testing method used to distinguish...
Don't feel these are "toxic," am convinced they have their place. Have isolated "full spectrum" rue alkaloids by skipping the NaCl precip and going straight to the sodium carb precip, they resulting product is darker...
Have been meaning to research dosage of vasicine etc. for its use in vedic medicine for treating asthma. Much promise there...
Normally use NaCl precip'd harmine/harmaline isolate (in my vocabulary, "harmaloids"
for group sessions just to be safe, but still isolate the others as well cuz it would be a waste and disrespectful to the plant not to. Never know when you may meet sum1 with asthma and have the ability to improve the quality of their lives, or need to help a pregnant woman in labor...
The UDV and other groups drink aya thruoughout pregnancy, the "quinazaloids" are not present in caapi (at least not in significant quantity) and I've seen enough to be convinced it's safe during pregnancy, as are NaCl precip'd "harmaloids" which SWIM gave to his girl and himself to assist in delivery of his son, along with full spec Mimosa extract and a bit o' cactus alks - both him and her credit the assistance of the medicine with the successful delivery of their child, as it helped her work thru psychological issues of doubt regarding her capacity to be a good mother that was holding her back from surrendering to the delivery process and, after 28 hours of labor, produced a healthy baby boy whose health, growth rate, and intelligence continually astound everyone who crosses paths with him.
I know of countless cases where aya and or cactus medicine have been used to aid delivery of a child. It's infinitely superior to anesthetics, epidurals, and other mechanisms that prevent the mother's body from communicating with itself and coordinating the delivery process, IMO. I do not say that lightly, but have heavily researched the topic from both practical and pharmacological standpoints.
To everyone who remembers me from the past, know I love and miss you all... just hadda chime in on what I feel to be an important topic, share my experience from working with rue for years and researching the use of such medicines in pregnancy, and also say that a word is what you make it and terms like acacialoids, etc. can and should be used whenever it's clear what they mean... languages change, and the purpose of a word is to convey meaning, not to satisfy some anal retentive loser's idea of what they think a word should be in the mind of someone who has no concept of the evolution of language or its true purpose - to communicate ideas. Back when I posted regularly, I used the term "harmaloids" often enough that for a while it became a common term on this forum. Ah, the good 'ol daze...
One last thing: on the topic of what makes your purge, yes tannins and other stuff can be a factor, but one's toxicity level (both chemical and energetic) is also a huge factor. Having witnessed countless purges from isolated compounds, and seen the correlation between one's state of toxicity (or lack thereof), there is a distinct difference between barfing from having ingested too many tannins and other nauseating compounds (e.g. SWIM's first two attempts at drinking an aqueous mimosa brew, where the tannins etc. made him barf before enough tryptamines absorbed to produce effects), vs. when purified compounds of high vibratory frequency clash with molecular or energetic components of relatively low frequency, and the former wins, expelling the latter. This results in the cleansing of one's being, producing an improved state.
This could be supported scientifically (and has been by hundreds of observations made by swim) wherein purified compounds are used, and if one is "clean" from having worked with them, one experiences no nausea or purge. This can be differentiated from tolerance in that if said person ingests toxins or allows negative energy into his/her being, the subsequent ingestion of purified compounds will likely result in a purge whereas so long as one remains clean, no urge to purge is felt.
Don't take my word for anything written above, but do keep an open mind and seek to verify or refute these claims for yourself. THAT is true science - thinking that talk of "energetic states" or "vibratory frequencies" is spiritual mumbo-jumbo just because it hasn't yet been proven by science is "sceintific dogma," because it hasn't been DIS-proven either, and a true scientist does not draw conclusions until there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Keep in mind: it is a known fact that all molecules vibrate at a certain frequency. Just as one could put a tuning fork in every seat in an empty football stadium, stand in the middle of the field, and strike a tuning fork of their own, every fork in the statium would vibrate IF they were tuned to the same frequency. All things work this way. Harmonic vibratory frequencies are a form of synchronization that can account for communication between cells in a body that exists in a harmonic state, and may account for phenomenae of communication with "plant spirits" when one ingests molecules from a plant and they intercalate into one's nervous system, causing one to "tune in" to the frequency of the plant and/or anything else existing on that wavelength (entity contact, etc.).
We see things like television (before cable anyway), radio, wireless devices, cell phones, etc. that all convey information over vast distances using vibratory synchronization. Why should we assume similar mechanisms do not exist in our bodies, when it explains so many "unexplainable" phenomenae (telepathy, etc.) that, for beings who are "in tune," happen WAY too often to be written off as mere coincidence? Doubt me? GOOD! Test my hypothesis by cleansing your vessel and tuning in and watch what happens. I was a skeptic too until I tested it for myself, and am now as convinced of the reality of that which I speak as I am of anything else in this world.
SO, getting back on topic: determine what vibratory state you wish to attain, and ingest the right molecules to fine tune your instrument (by that I mean your body) to the proper frequency. THIS is the essence of health - to exist in a state of harmony, with all biorhythms synchronized and all your molecules energetically in tune. E=MC squared - matter IS energy. The wave/particle duality can be applied to everything - it's most evident in light because it exists at the highest vibratory frequency, where as the densest, low energy matter we know of (Bohs-Einstein condensation) has virtually no vibratory energy, being as close to zero degrees Kelvin as we've managed to attain thus far. In between these two extremes exist everything else... which end of the spectrum would you rather be closest to?
Seek to raise your frequency closer to that of light (note the ascending frequency of the colors associated with the chakras, for instance). By doing so you will become healthier, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Try it and prove me wrong, I dare you!
If you're having trouble breathing, perhaps the quinazaloids from harmala my help you tune your biology to a more ideal state. If you're pregnant, perhaps not. Most molecules can be medicine or poison, depending on what state you're in when you ingest them and how much you ingest, etc. Strychnine can be medicine. Don't think in terms of black and white and label alkaloids as "good" or "bad," they're just tools. A hammer can be used to build a house, or bash someone's head in. The hammer is neither good nor bad. It's all a question of the skill and intent of the one using the tool. Same with molecules.
Many combinations of B-carbs and tryptamines exist throughout the world, and aya is not the only one to have been used throughout history. Such molecules are commonplace everywhere, methinks there may be a reason for that, given what excellent tools they can be in the hands of a skilled worker with the proper intent.
Love & miss you all... must go now, lest the addiction of nexus-ing take hold of me again and de-synchronize my vibratory state from where it currently needs to be given my role as provider for family right now. I look forward to someday being able to return and share even more profound information gathered throughout the years that I would love to report at first possible opportunity to those who would hear it. Meanwhile, thank you to all who continue to contribute to the ever-growing body of knowledge and understanding being built here... would that I could be a part of it more than circumstances currently allow...
The Ultimate Secret of the Universe is that there is no Ultimate Secret of the Universe... there's just a bunch of stuff that happens.
