Damn...and this whole time I try to tell people that it is NOT oxycontin....but I guess it IS very similar.

Thanks for the info! Luckily I only take like one every few weeks on the odd night I have difficulty sleeping.

wyandotterph, thanks for offering your knowledge to us!

I've read that ephedrine should be 'cycled', five days on, two off or some variation. Recently I've read that it IS safe to take all the time, due to the type of chemical it is - reasoning being, since you are stimulating a whole set of receptors, instead of just one, somehow that makes it safe. Do you have any insights on this?

I do appreciate the fact you're bringing and offering your knowledge to the forum, thank you. I do have some points to make, though.

I disagree; chronic inflammation and an imbalance of O6 to O6 is going to necessitate a need for a much higher intake than from fish. Plus, nuts offer zero EPA and DHA, and are heavy on the O6s.

What is the basis for this dose? Is this a dose for a healthy adult male of 100kg, a chronically sick female of 50kg, a healthy, active MMA athlete that trains 5x a week, or a sedentary geriatric? Throwing out a random dose as a catch-all without backing is a bit baseless.

Both good points, I was going to make a similar comment earlier but decided I didn't have time to write an articulate response at that moment. A little poking around through the research will show lots of different dosages being useful (or useless) for lots of different purposes, so, like you said, a catch-all dose doesn't really cut it.

I also appreciate this information!

Another one from me...I recently developed another ringworm spot after my previous had been gone for about a month. I put on Ketoderm (ketoprozole...something like that). Is there anything wrong with putting it on 2 times or more?

have you seen anything that suggests promise from the hangover prevention drugs that are supposed to inhibit the oxidation of teh alcohol to acetaldehyde?
