Oral use - LSD=Flu Remedy

[ajm48786]

Swim feels as though he should share a profound experience that took place roughly 3 years ago. Swim had somehow acquired roughly 5 hits of LSD, good LSD. Swim had some great experiences with 3 of the hits several months before the experience at hand took place.

Swim had contracted the Flu Virus. Swim was MISERABLE. Chills, fever, runny nose, TERRIBLE! Anyway, several days after contracting the virus (probably 2,at the peak of the terrible symptoms); Swim was bored, laying in bed, feeling terrible. He realized he had two hits of LSD leftover; and, for better or worse, he decided to give them a try despite being almost deathly ill. He was very apprehensive, yet something inside he told him it was a good idea.

He was at his parents' house, he waited until everyone was asleep. Swim consumed his two hits, alone in his bedroom, no sitter (he's only had a sitter once, and he's always been able to sort out what seemed to be a bad trip and turn it into a good one, so far at least). The die was cast. Roughly an hour after consuming his two hits, he noticed a reduction of the terrible flu symptoms. His nose run had slowed, his head felt clearer, he was beginning to feel better.

An hour and forty-five minutes post consumption, he realized almost all symptoms were gone. The nose run had all but ceased, his chills were almost completely unnoticeable, his head felt cooler, the Flu was being defeated by LSD!

Two hours after consumption, he went in his bathroom to look at the mirror. WOW! Pupils WERE HUGE! All of a sudden, the rush came! He not only FELT NOTHING in terms of the Flu, HE WAS TRIPPING ON TOP OF IT!

Swim does not feel as though the explanation of the trip is necessary, he will just say it was GREAT! A great trip! Many profound realizations, just a great trip!

The flu was GONE! No fever, no chills, the nose run completely stopped; and, a great trip. What more could Swim have asked for? He thought it was possibly a bad idea to consume LSD amidst a medium-severe Flu infection; but, he had underestimated the POWER OF LSD!

The great trip lasted roughly 8-9 hours, well until the dawn. When it had begun to wear off, he noticed the flu was returning, coming back to make him miserable; but, he didn't give a darn at all! Who cared? He got a nice break from a terrible experience, his expectations were positively shattered.

After the LSD had mostly worn off, the Flu came back with the same power it had before he had consumed the 2 hits. He did have a lovely Acid "afterglow" ; but, the flu did return. It is very important to mention the flu was NO WORSE than it had been before LSD consumption took place. It didn't come back to haunt Swim (he had worried it would come back worse due to his consumption of the drug).

Thankfully, the 'Cid didn't do any harm whatsoever. Swim got a great break; and, he was able to sort things out that had been bothering him for quite some time.

Conclusion: Swim believes LSD (and probably LSA + shrooms) has an uncanny ability to suppress/interrupt illnesses. Swim doesn't know if it would be the same for everyone; however, he does believe it has the potential to alleviate serious problems for some time, without making them worse; or, as one may say, cause a worse "rebound effect." He believes it would decimate a common cold, as the Flu is essentially a cold on steroids. Swim doesn't think it would be a good idea for serious illnesses as pneumonia, as that is a life-threatening disease; however, bad illnesses that are usually non life threatening, LSD/psychedelics is fair game, in his opinion.

Swim felt as though he is obligated to share this experience, as he has never read any reports of someone attempting such a seemingly crazy thing. The word is now out, LSD killed the Flu for Swim; and, it probably will do the same for others! LSD is a miracle drug, in Swim's opinion. As always, USE CAUTION when ingesting Psychedelics, they have the potential to really mess up one's mind in the short and long term; or, even lead to some sort of fatal incident (suicide,murder,both), BE CAREFUL if attempting to mimic this experience of Swim's!

This is for educational/entertainment purposes only. I am not encouraging anyone break any laws; or, put their selves in any potentially dangerous situation. Do not break your laws!

A friend of mine admits tripping usually has an effect on his health. Either minor ailments that plagued him will be gone once the effects of the trip are over, or he will be stricken with a cough or other minor symptoms post-trip. It was always something he would joke about if someone complained about a sore throat or congestion.

SWIM had a similar experience, except that she was laid up with a broken collarbone. She was in a lot of pain but decided to take four hits to help her get through the first night when the pain from the break can be almost unbearable. The pain completely disappeared for about six hours while SWIM tripped. No harmful after effects reported. She had spent her time mainly listening to cassettes of her favourite songs.

Apparently, LSD is useful for cancer patients in their last stages, perhaps for this same reason of relieving pain and symptoms.

Swim is not sure whether you mean the last stages of therapy or the last stages before death, but if it is the latter it could possibly help them or anyone really in coming to terms with dying. Just a thought.

SWIM tells me that this all depends on the trip, though. He says if one were to have a bad trip, knowing they're going to die soon then they may be subjected to hours of profound and inescapable torment, followed by a realisation that it was all true when the drug wears off.

Swim sees what you mean. But swim wouldn't suggest someone, who isn't previously experienced in the use of psychedelics, to take some on their deathbed. Also, only if they felt they could handle it. But there is always that possibility of a bad trip. There could be more reassurance of a good trip also if a low dose and a perfect setting for that individual is used.

The LSD may have caused a temporary demethylation of the promotor region in your DNA that controls the production of the mRNA that the flu virus inhibits.

The flu virus is not an organism you catch from other people. It is an endogenous cellular regulatory system that carries negative sense RNA in a receptor mediated endocytosis partilcle.

The flu virus is prodcued by the human body all the time in very low levels. It does what is called post transcriptional gene silencing. The negative sense RNA in the flu virus particle inhibits complementary strands of mRNA in the cell. This regulates the rate at which this mRNA can translate enzymes.

Vitimin D down regulate the production of the flu virus in the human body. When a persons vitimin D levels fall too low the person over produced the flu virus and this causes the flu disease.

People tend to get flu in the late winter cause this is when their vitimin D levels drop too low. Vitimin D is made in the human body by exposure of the skin to the sun. People that take vitimn D supplements of about 2000 iu a day do not get the flu.

Like I said the LSD may have stimulated the production of the mRNA that the flu virus inhibites. This would cause a short term supression of flu symtoms.

The vitimin B3 deficiency disorder called pellagra works in the same way as flu. When B3 levels fall too low the body over produces a virus that causes the pellagra disease. This pellagra virus is also an endogenous cellular regulatory systems. You can actually take concentrated pellagra virus from a human and inject it into a healthy chimp and the chimp will develop the symtoms of pellagra for a while. Once the virus is used up the symptoms go away sicne the healthy chimp does not himself have a B3 deficiency, and thus is not makeing the virus himself.

a bit off-topic and probably not directly ascribed to drug-induced mRNA-related effects, but swim was dreaming being totally cold-freee during high prevalence periods, with 15mg amfetamine and no smoking, whilst his sourrunding had nasty coughs, puss, slime and running noses.It was a dream, he felt just great all the time, and was every two days on the basketball court, on the outside, sweating and playing, while the others mates were sick in bed. ))

never heard of thes especial LSD effects, but who has LSD anyway?
