[Pat McCotter]

I wish it's probably just salvia 8-)

Mmmm...Salvia divinorum!

Ever tried loco weed? I know I haven't. I did have some rockstar and maker's mark while writing a paper tonight and it helped quite a bit. Must test more to determine efficacy...

Jimson weed? I know I wouldn't!

There is a mnemonic device for the physiological effects of datura/atropine intoxication: "blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, hot as hell, dry as a bone, the bowel and bladder lose their tone, and the heart runs alone." Another rhyme describing its effects is, "Can't see, can't spit, can't pee, can't shit." Regarding Datura, among the Navajo is the folk admonition, 'Eat a little, and go to sleep. Eat some more, and have a dream. Eat some more, and don't wake up.'

I've been told that there are 2 types of "ADD".  One is with hyperactivity and the other is without.  A neurologist told me years ago that caffeine works good for people who have "ADD without hyperactivity".  I saw a news piece a while back where a Dr. in CA suggested that people with "ADHD" would benefit from eating a small amount of marijuana as it would calm them down and help them to focus.

What's concentation? 

[Kat Kanning]

I can't recall.

[Lex]

I can't recall.

Actually, the first time I read the subject of this thread I thought that it said constipation.

[Kat Kanning]

Raw food for that for sure....a couple days on high fruit diet and you'll be running like never before

Kat is on the right track.

A good colon cleanse purifies the blood. Our brain function ons glucose. Clean blood is like clean gasoline. Your brain will work more efficiently with fresh and clean, fully oxygenated blood.

and this relates back to my coffee enema philosophy and the Gerson diet.

It is said that many diseases originate in the colon. ie "Leaky Gut Syndrome" is nothing more than rotten fecal matter eating away at intestional tissues. Then fecal matter is asborbed by the body and circulated systemically. Instead of absorbing nutrients the body is now absorbing good old american shit. Talk about "toxic conditions?"

I also liked Rangers proposal of practicing martial arts and involving the mind, body and spirit. There is much be gained from yoga, Tai Chee, meditation, etc.

again, there are no magic bullets in alternative healing. We have been conditioned by the pharm boys that we can take  a pill or potion and expect instant results AND continue with our nasty habits. So the guy eat cheesefries all, a 12 pak of diet coke and twinkies will not really benefit from chugging down some ginko biloba and ginger root.

Do you have any sources for your claims? This was on Penn and Teller's Bullshit and they made the interesting and more believable hypothesis that any shit that came out from the cleaning would simply be defecated at a later point.

yeah, I guess you believe penn and teller are xperts?

What i am discussing is just basic anatomy and physiology. When the corporate gov and pharm industry control traditional western modern medicine, do you really expect to see peer review medical studies on alternative health? Eastern medicine, Indian medicine and NA Indian medicine all recognize the liver, kidneys, lungs, skin and bowel function as vital components in the elimination of waste.

When I was growing up it wasn'y called ADD it was called shut the fuck up and ADHD was called sit the fuck down.  I had fair amounts of each.  MArtial arts, and regular physical activity, have alway been the best medicine.

Don't worry. Everyone will think I'm just joking.
