Central to my health problems, I believe, was that I was applying too much pressure to the crystal at the center of the brain dubbed the “seat of the soul” by René Descartes—the pineal gland. You would think, then, that things that can lessen the amount of pressure in the vascular system, such as niacin and niacinamide/nicotinamide, would make me feel better, right? In fact, they made me feel much worse.
I am prone to paradoxical reactions. When I consume something, it seems it is less important what it does in my body; more important is the information it gives to my brain.
When I take something such as niacin that would give me the power to vaso-dilate and decrease blood pressure, my brain sometimes takes it as a green light to increase blood pressure. If it knows it has a brake pedal on hand, it uses this as permission to hit the gas.
It seems I am often using things (vitamins, minerals, neurotransmitters) in a contrarian way.
Sometimes, when I consume things that forcibly take the pressure off, such as niacin, that should induce a feeling of relaxation, it can instead induce a feeling of panic. When you force me to vaso-dilate, you are changing the appearance, not the consciousness. If you create a state that feels to my brain to be hypo-tension—low blood pressure—my brain feels it has to suddenly increase fluid volume, to compensate.
If I’m “brain-dominant,” if the information a supplement provides is almost more important than the phsical supplement itself, would homeopathy work for me?
Unfortunately, no. Not because homeopathy doesn’t work. For whatever reason, although I try to be open-minded, I just could not get past my own prejudice—my involuntary prejudgment that homeopathy wouldn’t work. Homeopathy didn’t work for me because I didn’t think it would work. (This is why we conduct double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials.)
What did work for me was a micro dose (0.2 micros) of psilocybin. Somehow this helped me to modulate my metabolic rate and my pH at the same time. I found similar relief from a micro dose of LSD “acid.”
