Augmented Medication

Augmented medication is something I have been thinking about since my father was diagnosed with cancer in late 2009. It involves the combined use of different medical systems and the medication it prescribes as a more effective and safer solution than a single system.

In itself any medical system such as the modern medical system or the Ayurvedic medical system has inherent flaws.

The modern medical system is based on man made medication which is known to have side-effects. They can also create a dependence or addiction to a particular drug. However, the major advantage that modern medicine provides is a fast and in most cases and effective solution to various ailments. Additionally there is generally no dietary requirements involved.

Ayurvedic medication on the other hand is known to take a long time in "curing" the illness. It also requires a very strict diet and timing for the intake of medicines. The good side to Ayurvedic medication is the fact that it is based on natural ingredients and that is tailored depending on the person and illness. This reduces the chances of side effects for the patient. Additionally, the possibilities of dependence or addiction to this form of medication is minimal.

Bear in mind that I speak of 2 of the main medical systems I personally have come across. There are many more effective methods that are practiced across the world. I cannot speak on behalf of those systems as I lack knowledge about their pros and cons. I ask you readers to share your experience on those systems and together we can build a better system for all of humanity.

This brings me to the following questions:

1. Why not implement the two systems as a combined effort?

The main reason from what I see and hear is that there seems to be a complete lack of interest in this approach. It is quite possible that either there is a lack of knowledge about one or the other. Perhaps distrust in either is system is the leading reason. The concept of researching this and implementing a trial run has as far as I am concerned has been completely ignored. I honestly don't see any legitimate reason for not doing so. This is one idea I strongly believe will shape things to come for the better.

2. Will it increase the chances of survival for more serious (terminal) illnesses?

It most cases it should definitely increase the chances of survival. The idea is to bring about a balance of speedy treatment with a boost to long term health and immune system. Think about this: Take modern medical sciences treatment as a rapid response method. Follow that with say Ayurveda where the body's immunity and general health are being restored and fortified. Where does it show any signs of failure? Why hasn't this been promoted. Think about the number of lives that could have been saved. All those children could have had a chance at life. Their parents could have seen them grow.

3. What is the best way to implement this idea?

It most definitely needs to go through trial runs to perfect this method of treatment. Ideally fast acting medication should be given first and then followed up with fortification medication. This is best way in my opinion. Don't you think it makes sense? Let me know in the comments below.

4. What are the possible negative effects to this idea?

When considering a combined effort of 2 completely different systems we should remember the possible side effects of this method. If any negative effects it could be that the medication negates each other and thus has no effect. Possibly the medication reacts with each other and may have major side effects as natural and man-made medication enter the body. Perhaps there will be no side effects. That part I shall leave to you the readers to answer.

Think about implementing the 2 together and supported by sound therapy. What are the chances that this will not become a major success. Think about the possibilities that this could open for the world. Cheaper and more effective medication are points to begin with. Perhaps new "hybrid" medication can further improve on this combined effort.

The possibilities are endless. Remember we have to dream wild in order for such ideas. Dream wild and tell us what you think is the best way. Ask us any question you have about this dream.

I leave you to dream about this idea folks. As always don't forget to share. Sharing is power

Outside The Asylum: Chemical attractions

I’ve decided that the most interesting job in the world would be to be the guy at the sanitarium, who stares at the rest of the world, wide eyed in horror, while you all do terrible things to each other. What else can I do, but document the ways you could be looking into yourself more deeply and finding more beauty in each moment. So here I am... the metatron, at the junction between reality and dreams... watching beautiful moments pass you buy.

Being the warden gives me the opportunity to plan the education program for the inmates, but no one is required to attend, since wrangling you inmates towards any single purpose is such a chore, I’ve decided to leave this here for you. Think of it as an explanation of why you don’t realize you’re insane.

The first stop on our tour is going to be your head. Most of you haven’t figured out how to use it yet, so I’m going to go ahead and highlight some of the good parts.
Human biology is a complex tempest in a tiny teapot, cosmically speaking... (Back of the Book) From our point of view, the interactions that make us are vast and complex... until you realize that all the pieces are connected to you, inside and out. You can’t move without the rest of reality moving with you. I know, some of you don’t like to think about being connected, because it scares you. It’s okay. There are people giving away free hugs. Find one and hold on until you understand that connections are a good thing.

One of the most important “sets” of connections for you is your brain. Magic happens here... okay, maybe not magic, but a lot of confusion. Philosophers and scientists can't agree on what consciousness means, let alone how to quantify it. We do know that without a brain, you are clearly going to be at a disadvantage... and a few other things.

Science is working on building models of the interactions in the brain that influence mood and perception and how we can control and benefit from these interactions. The chemistry in your brain is more delicate than an award winning dessert recipe... tinkering with it should be handled responsibly.

We're starting to gain some real ground on methods of watching it function, but we still haven't gotten all of our lines sorted out. It's a delicate mixture of chemicals and electricity. Playing with the chemical combinations effects the brains abilities in some pretty interesting ways LIKE...

Hallucinogens. Admit it... you were all thinking about them anyway. No need to pitch a fit over it. Everyone who was whispering about it 10 years ago is talking about it out loud today. In fact, they're talking about it in laboratories equipped to track how hallucinogens impact activity in the brain on a pretty amazing scale.

The main actors in this arena are a series of enzymes that impact the transmission of signals between brain cells. Hallucinogenic compounds demonstrably increase the flow of these chemicals by interfering with the regulatory process inside the cells of the brain. The chemicals in the hallucinogen plug gaps in enzyme sequences, causing production enzyme switches to remain on longer than a normal "healthy" brain would.

The downside to the artificially induced activity is that it deprives the body of those same neurotransmitters later. Beware of mood crashes. A normal body will take time to replace the raw materials that were used.

Brain chemistry is a deep rabbit hole... the fringes of the sciences of the mind... but there does appear to be evidence that psychoactives that stimulate the release of enzymes in the brain are part of shamanic rituals for a reason. These drugs alter the way that your mind and reality intersect in ways that are hard to describe to anyone who has never experienced it. Jill Bolte Taylor takes a stab... and my personal experiences as someone with a schizotypal disorder resonate with her description.

But as it turns out, this typical dissolving of self appears to have certain benefits for individuals who have trauma in their past. There is a growing body of evidence that seems to support the benefits of a combined use of personal counseling and hallucinogens under a doctors supervision. It may turn out that the best therapy for trauma is prying open the third eye and allowing sunlight to act as disinfectant.

I'm looking forward to the day when doctors can use these drugs to clean out the skeletons in your closet in a hurry, rather than keeping you on a trickle dose of SSRIs for the rest of your life.

If you want to dig into the world of scholarly works regarding hallucinogens, psychosis, and fun in the brain try these. Don't be afraid of the words. They're here to heal.

Sound Therapy & Binaural Beats

The human brain runs different functions at different frequencies. These frequencies can be induced into the brain without being noticed. The brain naturally tries to average the sound received by your ears and it is by this phenomenon that this system works. Such frequencies are known as binaural beats.

For example: I play a 240Hz sound in one ear and 250Hz in the other and a particular brain function ran at 10Hz and this particular brain function deals with sleep/relaxation. While listening to what I am playing your brain without your knowledge will begin to send signals to relax or induce sleep to your body. 10Hz in this case is the binaural beat.

What also gets affected by this albeit after a short while is your conscious state of mind. The idea behind sound therapy is to help assist in a certain task. The beauty behind this system of therapy is that it taps directly into your subconscious, which allows for maximum efficiency.

Currently sound therapy can assist in rest and relaxation, sleep induction, healing, expanded attention spans and increased alertness. Improving memory power is currently being developed through this method if not already developed.

Think of the possibilities that this kind of therapy can used for. It is for starters possible to improve the rhythmic functioning of your body, which in turn improves your overall well being and state of mind. Sound therapy could be used in assisting those who are unfortunately afflicted with mental conditions. It could be used extensively in treatment against cancer and other terminal illnesses. The possibilities are endless.

Sound therapy has been existed for ages all though not in the sense I am talking about. We are used to calling them spiritual music, meditation music, etc. Remember the music that made you feel euphoric? These are nothing but the effects of binaural beats.

A personal experience comes to mind as I write this. I had someone close to me come over to my house. She was rather annoyed about something that happened on the way. At that point I asked her to sit down and listen to something that I had purchased online as part of my interest in the field. Essentially the music contained only tibetan singing bowls, native american drums and a didgeridoo. Interestingly she was asleep after 5 minutes of listening to the track. What followed was far more valuable for my knowledge. What she told me after she woke up was the she felt euphoric and that she hadn't slept this well and this deep in a very long time. She said she felt like it had been a full 8 hours since she went to sleep. In reality she had only slept for 20 minutes.

What you need to take from this experience of mine is that it can be heard anytime. [Just make sure your not driving or operating any sort of equipment]. This can possibly help you through one of those extremely long days. 

Below is the link to the music I mentioned earlier. I am also adding a link to give you a little insight into the history of binaural beats.
