Hello everyone!
I know I am resurrecting a dead thread, however I feel that clearing up some misinformation may be helpful. I currently take adaptogenic herbs and a mimosa hostilis based tonic on a daily basis. I have found that the mimosa hostilis potentiates the effects of thyroid stimulating medicine. By themselves the thyroid stimulating adaptogens and the mimosa tonic have no strong thyroid related effects. When taken in combination, my body temperature rises, my resting heart rate increases, I sweat profusely, I am sensitive to heat, I sometimes get gastric distress, and I am prone to insomnia and reduced sleep. All these are textbook symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
My hypothesis is that the DMT changes how our body responds to the stimulus, in a manner similar to the placebo effect but not controllable. Normally, the sympathetic nervous system has a variety of neurological control mechanisms built in to maintain homeostasis. I believe under the influence of DMT, these homeostatic mechanisms are partially disabled, resulting in effects not normally observed. Thus, I believe DMT can act as a potentiating agent for a fairly wide class of biologically active compounds.
I need to do a LOT of research on this subject to be able to say anything with confidence, but there is definitely SOMETHING going on, and it operates via a complex mechanism, as the behavior is varied difficult to predict.
