Tolerance also rapidly develops to the hallucinogenic effects, so you can work yourself up to a dose (by constant use and increases in dose) that will be effective and not cause you to be impaired.

Start with tiny doses every day, .05-.1 grams (dried mushroom). Work that dose up very slowly to the dose that is effective in controlling your cluster headaches.

Probably because people don't understand their drugs. The idea with psilocybin isn't to stay microdosed, but to use microdosing to build tolerance so you will not have the hallucinogenic effects when using doses that are therapeutic for your particular case of cluster headaches.

I am also not sure if there is any actual scientific papers on this process. This is just how people who have found psilocybin to work for them deal with the hallucinogenic side effect. There is science to support psilocybin working for cluster headache sufferers and science to support the development of tolerance to psilocybin, just no scientific guidelines on dosing yet.

Shits pretty great now. I just had both my eyes done within the last year. Cataracts from prednisone here. The only regret I have is that now I need reading glasses, but really only NEED them for fine print and sadly my cell phone.

They have some great lenses and I actually got one modern lens and one that was fully covered by insurance. The more modern one is better at most distances (except within 2 feet), the insurance covered one is good at most distances and optimal at a very small range (8-30 ft).

My eyes don't focus like they used to, but my vision is definitely loads better, and with the glasses I ordered vision is the best I have had since 10 years old.

I would go for it, probably will still give you better vision to work with than you had, and your brain can do some great things with inputs that are not perfect.

The same thing happened to my uncle (60). He was not vaccinated as a child, and contracted polio. The effects persist to this day, however he was very fortunate that the only permanent effect was damage to his ankle, giving him a limp (not too bad) and a limited ability to stay standing for long periods of time.

I guess I would want to know, how affordable were polio vaccines then, or were they distributed for free at that time in the eradication attempt?
