one thing I will say is the doses I took were large , and affected me .
first one was with actual mushrooms and sryian rue , and it was not good trip ( I experienced soul loss which plagued me for 2 yrs until i found a good shaman - believe what u will )
2nd one was with a whole jar of sclerotia Id grown ( I thought seeds were dude so i took the lot , then got a nice surprise over 2 hrs later )
Again a bad trip and a mixed outcome ( perhaps due to other factors cant mention here ) I managed to cure my tinnitus ( which was chronic ) and other far worse problems related to my skull which had me housebound but I was left with anosmia .
First trip was a fluke, the 2nd wasnt and gave me 100/1 hope I was begging for , the cure i needed.
Unfortunately my issues with skull I mentioned are pretty bad and 2 yrs ago made worse due to unexpected factors - hence why i am housebound again , but i had almost 4 yrs were i wasnt plus the other things. ( relief from tinnitus , other issues etc " touch wood " )
My experience suggests mushrooms reacted with this other substance I took , and resulted in the connective tissue healing in areas / way not normally possible.
Im basing that on my experience of this other substance Ive taken over the years, and how the mushrooms caused an instant/ powerful reaction when combined with it.
That violent reaction itself is what I believe what caused the anosmia , as my whole skull was thrust forward like id been hit by a truck, some 5 mins before the " worst part " of the trip ended.
A lot of this will prob raise more skepticism and questions than answers , and my ability to write is limited due to my problems.
I can send my history to someone via email from my previous website , which should explain why I believe what I do.
It is a long story that is still waiting to end.
