I took micro dose LSD to treat my migraine (it worked) and found it also helped with my POTS. POTS is when you can’t adapt quickly enough to changes in blood pressure.
I think my POTS was actually a symptom of something else: metabolic acidosis. But it was metabolic acidosis “inside” alkalosis—meaning my metabolic rate was too acidic, but my terrain was too alkaline—so it was masked.
Once I am both “too acidic and too alkaline,” it is easy to become trapped. I want to decrease my core metabolic rate—to stop generating too much acid via metabolism—but I can’t. Not while the terrain is too alkaline. While the terrain is too alkaline, I have to generate too much acid via metabolism, so I can “net” pH7. pH7 is life-critical.
This is where a tiny dose of LSD (“acid”) helped me. By making the terrain the slightest bit more acidic, it gave my brain permission to ease off the metabolic gas. I had been zooming, with muscle wasting and insomnia and toxic amounts of ammonia in my system (in addition to the POTS), and the LSD helped correct all that.
Then I realized something. I didn’t need the LSD.
The perception of acidity was what gave me permission to ease off the metabolic gas. While the terrain appears too alkaline, I am trapped in metabolic acidosis: I have to keep my metabolism running fast enough to generate excess acid to balance the excess alkalinity.
But I slowly learned something. When I eased off the metabolic gas, suddenly the terrain didn’t look too alkaline anymore. It only looked too alkaline because I was in sub-clinical metabolic acidosis!
I didn’t need LSD to change the pH of my terrain for me. The pH of my terrain would change in lockstep as I altered my core metabolic rate.
This was a huge ‘aha’ moment for me. I say ‘aha’ even though it was not a conscious lesson but rather something my CNS learned subconsciously.
If I am in generating too much acid via metabolism, it looks as if I can’t slow down unless I first make the terrain less alkaline. But by slowing down, I make the terrain less alkaline. The terrain only looks alkaline when the brain is too acidic. (Vapor thinks water has density.)
If I am generating too little acid via metabolism, it looks as if I can’t speed up unless I first make the terrain less acidic. But by speeding up, I make the terrain less acidic. The terrain only looks too acidic when the observer (the brain) is too alkaline. (Ice thinks water has speed.) The metabolic trap? The faster I go, the colder the terrain looks to me—so I increase my speed.
I have seen a patent application for LSD to treat Alzheimer’s.
