:d Hello Nexians.
I've lurked and learned a lot of important things here for about 3 years. I've never said anything until now, but I've absorbed a lot, and for that I would like to thank ALL of you who have made this community what it is.
I suppose I didn't assume an identity through which to say things because I thought I had nothing to contribute. But after 2 years of experience with the Spice, I feel a sort of duty to report what I have learned from it.
Very early in my journey with this chemical, I had some frightening experiences (the old "more real than real" trope) that nearly led me to throw everything out and never look behind that curtain again! To read about this mysterious gateway is nothing like actually walking through it; with just my toes in the water I learned quickly that this substance is POWERFUL and the philosophical/spiritual implications that inherently come with it can be disturbing. That's how I feel about it... simultaneously in awe and crippling fear of what it means to me. I would not have had the courage and mental fortitude to continue my involvement with this substance if I hadn't learned the following:
DMT is an EXTREMELY effective treatment for aborting Cluster Headaches! Like nothing else I've ever come across, this chemical can INSTANTLY and CONSISTENTLY stop the most intense pain I've ever known. This has been mentioned in a few Nexus threads over the years, but I think its importance is vastly understated in the relevant communities. I've shared it with a close friend who also suffers from cluster headaches (as well as migraine and tension headaches, poor guy!) who enjoyed the same therapeutic effect I've come to depend on: his cluster headache goes away with one toke (but unfortunately the less debilitating tension headache remains).
Next important point to note:
Journeying through Hyperspace is NOT necessary to achieve this relief! A microdose of 5-10mg is almost always enough to fix my head, with minimal visuals (usually none). We can all agree that the DMT experience is not for everybody, and most people would not want to invite that into their lives. But for those seeking pain relief, the full experience is not necessary. You could think of the trip as an avoidable side-effect. Shamanic initiation is not required for the use I'm describing.
I know this may sound like wasted sacrament to a lot of folks here, but consider that 20% of people with cluster headaches eventually commit suicide to avoid enduring another one. 10 years into my biannual cycles of agony, I was resigned to the notion that I would never escape this hell until I end it myself. It wasn't a matter of if, just a matter of when. I love my family, that's all that kept me from allowing these thoughts to consume me, but I could never really escape the feeling that death was seductively beckoning to me. And then DMT changed my life! First, by showing me the hidden divinity that many here have been fortunate to witness (throwing my staunch atheism straight out the window). But more importantly for me, it has revealed itself to be a very powerful medicine that gave me unprecedented hope and a renewed love for life! Because I have this medicine in my life, I no longer fear the next cluster of painful attacks. I can live a relatively normal lifestyle now, I can function at work without stifling tears, and I can sleep through the night. For 10 years, I was awakened several times a night 2-4 months of the year, with a pain that no chemical could touch. Now I can take a sub-psychoactive dose of the Sacrament and go right back to sleep. The past 2 years have been dramatically better for me, thanks to DMT I now feel like this disease doesn't own me anymore. It's as though there's a monster sleeping inside my head who wakes up in a violent fury, but all I need now is a little bit of the Sacrament to satiate the Beast and stop its fit of anger. As long as I feed the Beast when it stirs, it is content to stay in hibernation indefinitely. If I can achieve that without requiring the stronger effects of DMT (which no sensible human is ready to take on at just any given moment the headache may strike), that is just fine with me!
Don't get me wrong... I do still travel to the Fractal Realm on occasion, about 2-3 times a year lately. I don't like to go out super far and I don't travel often, but I deeply value the teachings of this substance. I actually like guiding newcomers into that space more than I like being there myself
However the biggest point I wish to make here is this:
You are the Gate Keepers. Nexians have the power to heal. As a fellow human who reclaimed his life thanks to this magical spice, I beg you all to reach out to anybody you know that is suffering from a primary headache disorder (cluster, migraine). Modern Medicine has very little to offer to these poor souls, as primary headache is still poorly understood. The medications available for these conditions are mostly off-label drugs intended for other conditions, which bring a lot of unnecessary (potentially fatal) side-effects to the table. The world needs to know that DMT is an option. In my humble opinion, it is the best option for instant relief of this kind of pain.
If you know somebody who suffers from cluster headaches, you should know there is a good chance that person has already considered suicide as an option. You might save a life by guiding that person through a microdose experience. If that person responds well to the treatment, you could then educate them about this substance and how they can ensure they have enough of it for the bad time of the year (1 gram is enough to keep me pain-free through a 2-month cycle of 1-6 attacks per day!).
DMT can easily be dissolved and diluted in an e-juice mixture. This is my new favorite therapeutic dose method, as one would have to vape the whole 2ml tank of juice in order to significantly alter perception (no accidental journeys). I shared that solution with a friend who has zero interest in ever altering her perception, and she now has an effective migraine treatment that is about as safe as this substance can be. 3 hits gave her a little bit of body load, which she didn't like, but moments later her migraine was gone and she decided her short-lived discomfort with the sensation was far better than the pain. I highly recommend that all Nexians who vape should keep such a solution ready to give to somebody who needs it. It's a very simple route of administration that gives just the therapy without the mind-shattering break from "reality."
This chemical is not just for phychonauts! In much smaller doses than what most of us desire, it can save lives. Every time you break through to the other side, that was enough medicine to abort 4-6 headaches. If somebody who uses this as a medicine wants to later explore its hallucinogenic properties, that's their decision to make (though I make great effort to inform them it's no decision to be taken lightly). As for me, I'm on a mission to share it in careful moderation with any person who may otherwise be stuck with that maddening pain until they give up on life. There's so much to enjoy in this life, and I want to help people remember that.
I ask all of you to rise to the occasion if you have a friend in need. You may be the most helpful person that friend has ever known.
Side note: I think this speaks volumes on the subject of endogenous DMT. I posit that primary headaches could be a symptom of some kind of endotryptamine deficiency. Those here who are knowledgeable , please discuss.
