You're going to want to get yourself a good editor.

As long as you're not using it to clean the toilet...

People do it all the time. Doesn't make it right. But it is reality.

The D3 regimen has been a godsend for me. Since I started on it and got my serum level above 70 ng/ml, I have not had to bust. It's been over 6 months now since my last bust, and that one was done more as a maintenance dose - not because I was getting hit. Before that, it was May of last year that I had my last real hit.

I have to inject a different drug (for a different condition) twice a week, and I follow a clockwise pattern around my gut, always 2-3 inches away from my belly button: L - upper L - middle L - lower R - lower R - middle R - upper It's always 3 weeks before I'd have the chance to hit the exact same spot (which I'm sure rarely happens anyway).

Dr. Kudrow?

You mean like forks fuel obesity? You're just not getting it, MG. Alcohol doesn't fuel anything. It just sits in the bottle or can, waiting to be consumed. By people. And the majority of them do it responsibly.

No, alcohol isn't responsible. People are. Just like guns aren't responsible for killing.

Sorry, I'm calling bullshit. Alcohol, when consumed in responsible quantities, has some very positive health benefits, both physical and mental. Use of drugs and alcohol is one thing. Abuse of drugs and alcohol is quite another. And we all know what happens when societies attempt to legislate morality... There are, on the one hand, the laws of man. On the other, there are the laws of - for lack of a better term - God. Following the latter generally keeps you out of trouble with the former. When they conflict, well, I know which path I choose. It's actually quite simple.

My experience: You might as well throw the busting material down the toilet. Total block.

You could probably get a great deal of benefit from the regimen even without the fish oil.

All I can relate is my own experience: I've found a fish oil capsule that states right on the label "No fish burps." I've taken the D3 regimen, and all of it fits in one double-sided pill caddy, similar to these (along with the prescription meds I take): No need to take all your pill bottles with you everywhere you go. Takes 5 minutes to sort an entire week's worth. Following is a list of my daily regimen. Just had my 25(OH)D level checked last week, and I'm at 70 ng/mL. It's a somewhat flexible regimen - and should be based on one's 25(OH)D serum test results. Here's what I'm currently taking each day: Pain free since April of last year.

I don't recall - have you tried the vitamin D3 regimen?

And the best thing is - THEY'RE ALL CHOCOLATE! Love ya, Ting.

I'm not qualified enough to speak intelligently on this one. Every time I've busted I've detoxed from everything except vitamins and my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. I'm only reporting what I've read.

I would think that the Flonase, being a topical steroid, would be present systemically at MUCH lower levels than if you were taking one that you either swallow or inject. The opioid, however, will diminish the effectiveness of the bust. But like birdman stated, what have you got to lose except one dose of medicine?

Good luck, Denny!

Rest in Peace, Carl. I never got to meet you, but one thing we're both glad for now: CH won't ever touch you again.

FECK YEAH!

That's a good one, Denny. In memory of Lee Dorman, bassist for Iron Butterfly, who passed yesterday at the age of 70:

Goadsby showed us this thing at the OUCH convention in Atlanta a few years back. Says the stimulator (about the size of a vitamin pill) is implanted on the affected side above and behind the molars, in a procedure that is much like a dental surgery. Then a wand is held up by the sufferer to the cheek bone from the outside to activate it. Looked pretty slick. Hope I never have to investigate its effectiveness.

Not to mention that THEY DON'T PRODUCE 100% O2. I guess what I was trying to say was that if that's all you can get your hands on, make every attempt to get 2 of them. 100% O2, pressurized in a tank, is by far the best option.

I've heard of folks getting relief from them, but you have to run two of them in parallel and get yourself a Y connector. Even at that, 93% + 93% = 93%.

The one thing your "theory" doesn't address is fantasy during sex. That there is a noble cause. Keep at it.

Ever feel like you're pissing straight into a strong wind?
