I think it’s just in mg

I believe it's the same. Take 10,000 mg of vd

@Hand Banana There's a guy up in Canada I watch who goes camping in -30 with like a sleeping bag, a tarp, and an axe. The more experience you have, the easier it is to get away with taking less gear. Tent stakes, for example are a few grams to maybe an ounce. That's like nothing, but ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain especially for something so completely unnecessary as a tent stake (though tents in general aren't exactly necessary either). You can carve them out of a stick, or make a duff button, or a bunch of other stuff

Couple that with 1000mg of a magnesium supplement

Your body can only process 1,000 mg at a time

Correct.

Any more is overkill

Potentially bad

There is no evidence to support that

I wouldn't say bad, just useless

Ah

You'll piss out the extra

If you're talking about vd

Ok cool

I piss a lot

Drink lots and lots of water

water is good

Yeah man I go often. Water has been good to me.

@FashyGoy1488 10,000IU is what is used to treat inflammatory conditions or chronic vitamin D deficiency

Pissing out the toxins

It is usually standard protocol for dealing with a shortage, and there has never been shown any bad effects

Nice

It is what I recommend my inflamed patients to take

I saw vitamin b everywhere

Never saw anyone suggest d

Where did you see that?

Medical School

I just take it in my multivitamin

I wouldn't recommend a beginner try to do bushcraft or ultralight though

@FashyGoy1488 Multivitamins are great for maintenance, but If you have symptoms, superdosing on specific vitamins is better.

Right

And you my friend seem to have symptoms

I take extra b, l Theanine, and GABa

Up north, vitamin D is a pretty big deal in winter. I had to take 50k IU for like 12 weeks to catch back up to a good level

On top of the multi

Kelp too

@FashyGoy1488 excellent. Vitamin D should help with the withdrawal symptoms from the Xanax

Thanks man

I’m gonna go take some rq

You could also try St John's Wort, which is a natural mood stabilizer, but it is more of a natural drug than a supplement.

I take it sometimes when patients get to me.

I had the dream of one day growing herbal medicines in the ethnostate. So these things interest me.

I heard that’s good stuff never tried

My main problem is honestly the stomach

What's the problem?

I’m getting through the head stuff and weakness and clammy shit

My stomach is on constant tightness and grumbling and I can’t eat

Heartburn, or like you're gonna puke?

I might just have to deal with jt

More nausea

I take a daily antacid

There's your problem

And I have pepto bismol I take when needed

Well if I don’t take it, my stomach fills with acid and I wanna puke even more

Antacids are the jewiest medicine invented. It literally causes problems.

Like stomach pain

Fuck sakes

They're kinda like depression meds that way

I guess I just have to ride it out

Yeah I know first hand that antidepressants don’t work

(((Antidepressants)))

You need some more acid in your stomach, so you can digest things.

You can do it the easy way or the hard way

I want the healthy way

No more easy way

Well both are healthy.

That’s what got me here in the first place

I just want to be healthy

Easy=buy yourself a HCl supplement and take that.

The fuck?

Lol

Hard=chug a glass of Apple cider vinegar

I’m not an alchemist

Lol

HCl is what your stomach acid is.

You can usually find one at any health food or supplement store

Or just buy it online.

Or just not take antacids ?

My stomach has no problems producing the stuff

@QuackDoktor would any of these be useful iyo?

@FashyGoy1488 It actually does. The pain you are feeling is because of indigestion and/or a flabby pyloric sphincter which lets the acid up into your throat aka heartburn.

Both solved by more acid and less antacid.

Weird

Learn something new everyday

@Vice Commander Hunt Peppermint might. Having more acid would solve the problem though.

What about bismuth?

I mean in general. Not necessarily for stomach acid. You mentioned herbal medicine

@Vice Commander Hunt really, the big ones I would want to grow are Echinacea, St John's Wort, reishi mushrooms, chamomile, and dandelion.

@Vice Commander Hunt But the list you have is good.

@FashyGoy1488 bismuth is an antacid. Opposite of what you want.

Ok

Just checking

What’s your opinion on kratom? If any

I have some red Borneo but I’m afraid to take it because normally it curbs my appetite

Right now I need appetite

Any good natural appetite boosters?

I’ve eaten one full meal the past three days

Basically, stop all stimulants and eat very starchy foods.

Ok so no kratom then because it does have stimulating effects

Starchy foods eh?
