New to this place, and already grateful beyond belief for so much generosity of information and spirit. Thanks to all. Jerry

Thank you for hanging with me, Jordan.     >>I guess the question is whether or not LSA has more than Psilo?<< Yes, I'd love to know about that. It also seems that TommyD is maybe talking about extraneous stuff ("other related substances in the ergot family"), maybe the husks or something, which might lead me to think that carefully-extracted HBWR seeds would be better than crushed RC, husks and all.     >>many are taking these to treat CH.<< Yes. I love reading the success stories! But my daughter (about whom I'm writing) is starting from a different blood pressure baseline than most, and that's what makes me concerned about the "serious, even fatal medical consequences" that TommyD mentions. Again -- thank you. This whole board so often moves me to near tears, as I see people reaching out so generously to help others.

Sorry, J -- I should think clearer before posting. Yes, vasoconstrictors raise blood pressure. I was kind of freaked by TommyD's warning: "The various natural sources of LSA may contain other related substances in the ergot family, and some of these are not so friendly. Many have a severe vasoconstrictive effect - narrowing the blood vessels and reducing blood flow, sometimes dangerously - that can cause serious, even fatal medical consequences." I jumped to overworrying and getting it wrong. Thank you for correcting me. That warning's still scary, though!

Has anyone experienced complications from seeds related to low blood pressure? "Normal" resting bp in this person is about 90/70, and I see that TommyD has a warning about vasoconstriction from ergot substances in one of his excellent posts. Advice?? Thank you!
