have you combined it with K2?

I would consider taking a very warm and long epsom salt bath.

Very interesting. With the salt being in gelatin capsules, it probably made it far down without being digested or diluted, thats probably enough to cause great irritation and bleeding. Most foods could probably irritate your GI tract if you have a salt induced burn/fissure/wound.

I think vitamin K could help stop the bleeding, its necessary for blood to clot. keeping the gut as clean an unburdened as possible while the sore heals would also probably be beneficial.

what is your idea behind consuming so much salt?

@yerrag I will find a relative to guinea pig and have them eat liver and oysters frequently to see if it reverses aspirin allergy. Interestingly, even just a few milligrams of aspirin applied anywhere on the skin is enough to induce a large enough systemic reaction that an antihistamine is needed.

Does anyone here have experience with curing an allergy to acetylsalicylic and salicylic acids? many of my relatives have developed an allergy to aspirin in their twenties, making me think that the allergy is caused from an accumulation of stress. Does anyone know the underlying cause of this allergy?

I have heard georgi say good things about biloba, my understanding that it is also a serotonin antagonist.

@metabolicmilk On my original post I left a link to a handbook that describes the whole theories behind it, and step by step instructions on how to make them. It is called "the orgone accumulator handbook." There are also many available youtube videos that show the process. You can google "how to make an orgone blanket" and you should be able to find plenty of videos

@brad Low density suburb. 10 or 15 minute drive or so away from any urban or more densely populated area. Not close to any nuclear or power plants, big sources of bad orgone contamination. Nearest cell tower is probably 3 or so miles away, but I do not have a clear field of vision to it from my house. Very much so on the electrical grid however. I do not live in close enough proximity to my neighbors to be able to connect to their WIFI. Decently high altitude 4500+ which does affect orgone concentration.

This guys work is interesting, he goes around donating cloudbusters and orgone devices around the desert in order to "restore" them. He theorizes that desert environments are entirely unnatural and brought about through bad orgone, chemtrails, EMF, etc..Deserts are almost like a patch of calcification and fibrosis, they can be restored to lush lands by restoring energetic order.

@brad Interesting relationship here with the artificial cloud and reichs cloudbuster. Orgone, or neutrino seems to be intimately involved in the cloud process. While peat was hyperthyroid he displaced and dissolved the cloud in the exact shape of his organism. I think hypothyroid individuals do the opposite and accumulate this cloud essence. When someone "has a cloud over their head" they literally have something about them that accumulates and concentrates a negatively charged neutrino, or have created some sort of vacuous void of which the cloud fills.

@brad I think I found the quote you were referring to from day one on the back of a tiger "In that same period, I visited some of my Reichian friends in San Francisco. One of them worked at the Exploratorium and they took me there just after hours to show me what was what with the Exploratorium. And at one of the displays, it was a cloud chamber. She turned it on and was going to show how you could visualize the cosmic rays in the clouds. And as it clouded up, that aroused my interest. So I moved up close to the cabinet and the cloud disappeared in a cylinder shaped like my body. As I backed away, the cloud filled in the space and it was like there was a field destroying the condensation in that area. But as soon as I took thyroid, I've never had any of those excessive field effects." -Ray peat

Made the first orgone accumulator device last night. This is a report on my initial findings.

3 layers of cotton batting alternating with layers of steel wool, thin muslin cloth to emplace these pads and make it comfortable for skin applications. made in two pieces and fashioned in the shape of a cylinder, big enough to wear comfortably over the head and it goes down to just above the nose. Made just in time to use it for sleeping.

I will include any night time supplements I regularly take in the report.

650 mg aspirin
200 mg thiamine
one teaspoon baking soda
one small drop of progesterone orally

I take this stack most nights before sleep. I always unplug everything in my room, shut off all electronics and remove them from my room. However I do not always remember to shut off the WIFI which is in the opposite corner of the house, but i did shut it off last night. Otherwise my sleep routine remained exactly the same but with the introduction of the orgone helmet.

To provide context, the whole winter i have had severe insomnia, usually not able to fall asleep before 5:00 AM. will lie in bed with racing thoughts for many hours before I am able to sleep, this has been the case every night for the last 4 months or so. I usually wake up with little to no energy all throughout the day, and then the mind begins racing again in the evening hours, a severely disrupted circadian rhythm.

Last night, while wearing the orgone cap I was able to fall asleep after 30 minutes or so. Things I noticed while wearing the cap

-Warm, tingly sensation, similar to the feeling i get when taking the right dose of thyroid or tocovit.
-Reduced tinnitus
-heart rate increase 5bpm from 83 to 88 bpm
-Calmed my thoughts

At some point during the night I woke up and took the helmet off, I fell quickly back to sleep. Interestingly I had a dream in which I could speak perfectly fluent french, in spite of only taking a single french class 10 years ago, it wasn't gibberish in my mind but perfectly sound and grammatically correct french, even upon waking I was still thinking partially in french and had a grasp of the vocabulary and could understand it some. All of the dreams I had that night were incredibly vivid. Also interestingly, I woke up with the orgone helmet back on my head, in spite of the fact that I consciously remember removing it during the night. I must have either subconsciously put it back on while I slept, or some other force once again crowned me with the helmet.

Also, for the first time in a very long time i woke up full of energy, and was able to get much done in the morning hours, which is something that I never have been good at.

Here are some things to consider:

The benefits I saw could've been a placebo, or it could be from a general increase in brain temperature from the insulation. However, the last few months i have been wearing a beanie while sleeping and have not noticed any positive effects, I always wake up without the beanie on. The helmet is much thicker, cozier, and more comfortable. It could just be the fact that it is keeping my head even warmer.

I will continue to conduct more experiments with this device. If any of you have anything you'd like me to try or experiment i would be happy to do so. While I am not using my orgone helmet in person I think I will store my NDT and idealabs supplements in it. People commonly use these devices for their fruits/seeds and such.

You've probably read this article already, it is very good. https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/dark-side-of-stress-learned-helplessness.shtml

Our body adapts to trauma in order to protect ourselves acutely, but when we cannot stop the cascade of stress it will lead to deleterious effects in the long run. Serotonin increases greatly during stress, suppresses appetite, inhibits our ability to get good restorative sleep, and also triggers nausea. These describe all of your symptoms. Ground beef, not paired with calcium or gelatin, will also increase serotonin. I suspect that is why you are filled with dread when you eat it. It adds more serotonin to the already highly serotonergic state.

I think addressing serotonin could help. The carrot salad lowers serotonin, eating easily digestible foods, getting plenty of calcium and sugars would all help. Cyproheptadine is a very potent anti-serotonin drug, it is very safe and well researched. Peat talks about it a lot. If you are already in a high serotonin state it will make you very sleepy and potentially groggy initially until your body can transition from operating on stress hormones to the youthful thyroid hormones. Removing yourself from stressful environments, spending time outdoors, engaging in stimulating interesting activities, and spending time with people you like are all are anti-serotonergic. If lowering serotonin through these means a lone doesn't get you back to where you want to be, Progest-E has a very healing and restorative effect.

@Hando-Jin said in How libertarian leaning is this forum?:

current social order

I think the dreadful social order is mostly a result of poor biological health, the social order then reinforces sickness. Healthy people will produce a healthy social order. Libertarianism is a critique of highly regulatory governments. That being said, what about government regulation is preventing people from creating healthy communities, social structure, and engaging in meaningful work? We both agree on the drawbacks of authoritarianism, but I am skeptical of the idea that our authoritarian social orders biggest driver is government regulation. Aside from taxation, social disorder and authoritarianism seems to be a product of a lack of governmental control not an excess. Big pharma and mega corporations sell poison to everyone, not the government Mass migration is a problem, and the government lets them do so. We live in one of the most libertarian times in recent history, and the social order has never been worse. The government allows the federal reserve to exist, which is a private institution. And inflation is behind many problems behind the current social order, don't we wish the government would step in and end the federal reserve?

@Kilgore libertarianism might work fine if everyone is 130 iq and living homogeneously. People right now are dumber and sicker than they have ever been. To think anything good would come from "letting the reigns loose" on people who are so fundamentally sick that they are literally cancerous tumors walking around in a semi-hibernation state is quite foolish I must say.

i think they are serotonergic. cooking them seems to reduce this. Fresh salsas upset my digestion, cooked or can salsas do not.

@ATP yeah lots of crazy experiments done with them. I plan on making one as soon as I can source absurd amounts of steel wool.

@Dakota I read about it a lot in his book "The function of the orgasm" I think out of all of his books that one is likely the one that covers the most bases. I also think that his book "character analysis" talks about it quite a bit. I think both can be found for free on archive.org. Also I don't think it is difficult to find physical copies of the books, from what I've read so far it can be very dense at times.

Reich founded the practice of "vegetotherapy" its the belief that emotions and past experiences manifest themselves physically in the organism. Reich claimed to have cured many clients physical and psychological defects. The practice involves the "breaking up and releasing" of the biological damning of orgone throughout the bodies tissue. Stress causes the hardening and rigidity of the organism as a protective mechanism, only through allowing the flow of energy to flow uninterrupted can the organism reach its optimal state. Very similar to peats idea of "energy and structure are interdependent at every level." I will post some of the more interesting case studies later.

@Dakota I was unaware that his passing and his home were both so close to peats. I think they were definitely up to some funny business there.
