Hi there folks,
This is slightly veering off topic but does include CS "addiction"? .
As an industrial psychologist during the last century, there were certain
facts always necessary to keep in mind and a great teacher of mine used to
put it this way:
( circa 1970)
----------------------------------------
The 25% factor is absolute.
25% of the population still smokes. ( No amount of proof of danger will
alter that)
25% of the population will still volunteer to fight in a war.( The young,
like the bottom 25%, really do think they are immortal)
25% of the population dies in plagues.
25% of the population is capable of reason.
25% of the population can not be hypnotised
25% of the population in any clinical study/trial will placebo react.
25% of the population will now die of Cancer.
The only group you will ever be able to change anything with, is the upper
25%.
Luckily, the next 50% will eventually follow them. The bottom 25% will, as
usual, die.
---------------------------------------------
My observations on the list so far is that the "magic pill" belief is still
very much alive and kicking. :-)
I do think that in the light of verifiable information received to date,
CS is the next best thing ............... the next best thing. But some of
the hopes for it are right up there with "safe smoking and harmless
recreational drugs".
It can only be part of a curative/restorative regime.
A marvellous part, but only a part.
I really do feel for anyone addicted to anything - I have an addictive-type
personality which covers everything from nicotine to booze to TV to
workaholism. I've had to beat each one in turn, but it really took the
expectable end result of those addictions, "Terminal Cancer" to give me
the final impetus.
Note: Nicotine addiction is a separate thing altogether, to a modern
cigarette.
Ask any real addict what the two toughest things to quit are and the answer
is always the same:
cigarettes then sugar.
Some odd info: Heroin is non-addictive at all. It's just fun. It had to
be gotten rid of for the same reasons that they will soon ban CS. Cocaine
is a real bugger for about two weeks, nothing like cigarettes though, which
take literally months and will be dangerous for years, perhaps life.
All addictions seem to have a primary fear/self-destruction impulse as the
main hook.
Physical addiction is a much smaller component, with the only exception
known being the SCIENTIFICALLY engineered-to-be-addictive modern cigarette.
One last scary thing:
Many years ago I was given a whole little education in how cigarettes are
REALLY sold by one of the creative geniuses behind it. He had just quit
his super-paying job after a conscience attack and was at the time, a
student of mine. Through him a book was written called "Media
Sexploitation" which actually detailed the methods.
Those "old-fashioned" psycho-manipulative methods really worked. Today,
they are eons advanced and not surprisingly, TV is the weapon of choice,
perfect for subliminal perceptive manipulation.
END OF MY KNOWLEDGE CONTRIBUTION TO LIST:
NOW: PLEASE HELP ME!
Meanwhile, I'm still a tyro in the CS ranks and have not been able to
finally determine right to this moment the best way to moonshine my own
CS. Am still being ripped off at $30 for 200ml here in Oz.
Am all the way back to making my own machine with :
1. Canadian Dollars ( guaranteed 99.99 fine) as I really do not like the
idea of unknown other things being released into the mix and no easy way to
certify wire.
Haven't been able to get them locally at less than insane prices or even
over the Net. Professional brokers wanting nearly $150 just for insurance
and shipping AND a Cashiers Cheque ( about $50 extra from here)
WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE MAYBE A CANADIAN MEMBER SENDING 4 OVER WITH
SUITABLE RECOMPENSE FOR EFFORT , SAY VIA PAYPAL ??
2. Modified AC current at 30??? volts and ??? m/amps ( Still confused here)
3. Fish tank bubbler. ( How gentle?)
4. Max/suitable size of container. 1 pint? (Does shape matter?)
USE : INGESTION
5. Perhaps a 100 day cleanup routine at a tablespoon 3x day.
6. Prophylactic treatment of milk and drinking water of 5-10ml per litre.
(Note: Found almost homeopathic doses seem to work in raw milk - extends
life by nearly 100% Just 2 drops per litre )
My promise to create a website for really serious user-newbies (not
scientists) still holds.
Thanks ,
