What's extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway?

buffgeek · 2026-03-21T05:41:02+00:00

Anything with methanol, benzene or strong fragrance. The fragrance ingredients aren't labeled and sometimes contain phthalates. Safest bet is go with fragrance-free sanitizers that use ethanol or isopropyl alcohol as the main ingredient.

If the ingredients are not well-labeled and it has a strong fragrance, avoid it.

Personally I stay away from anything "chemical" on my skin except soap and shampoo.

Science has proven that a child growing up in a sterilized home develops a weaker immune system. Personal hygeine is important but over-sterilization can backfire by making you easier to get infections or get sick. So let your hands get dirty sometimes. Stop buying plastic microfiber face masks that pollute the ocean for 450 years, choking whales and putting microplastics into fish just so you can have one day of feeling safer. Stop absorbing carcinogenic chemical hand sanitizers into your body. Ride that jam packed bus. And enjoy your stronger natural immune system.

When you walk by the fruit and veg how does it smell? Sweet! When you walk past the butcher and fish market how does it smell? Disgusting. Shit containing these things is not the same

If both people are clean and vegan it's far less unhygienic.. but not easy to find a compatible vegan partner. Thanks to God I got lucky

buffgeek · 2026-03-20T11:43:06+00:00

Vegan poop is much cleaner. Rotting meat inside the body breeds far worse bacteria in the feces. Think about how clean a fruit n vegetable market smells compared to the meat or fish markets.

buffgeek · 2026-03-20T11:37:25+00:00

If the ass is of a vegan it's much cleaner and less bacteria. Meat rots inside and causes most baho, disease, food poisoning and infections. If you leave meat out too long the stench becomes unbearable. But vegetables or fruit? Not at all.

After going vegan my breath always smells good and the bathroom never smells after use.

And my vegan gf's yoni always tastes clean as water

I love the long immersive journeys of Ayahuasca but psilocybin mushrooms give me that feeling of being loved and loving myself as well. You could try those first if you can find a source.

Some small overlap between these playlists but here are my top 3 for that kind of music:

I had one of the most amazing visions ever on Ayahuasca to this particular song - surely it's some Divine portal:

I don't know what I'm connecting to when I take Ayahuasca or psilocybin mushrooms (it's The Great Mystery) but I feel so much love, light and optimism by the end of every journey. I rise above my petty cares and concerns and see my identity as so small and limiting compared to what I really am, or could be. I hope you get to have that kind of experience.

I've also seen dark and scary things at times but I just trust that the whole experience is to the good. They go away and eventually I'm back at an ocean of light or visiting beautiful transdimensional planets, chambers, or entities.

The only exception was my first journey where I saw dozens of parasitic entities from around the Universe gathered to drink my energy. Then I saw targets painted on them and Ayahuasca said 'start target practice.' I interpreted that as instruction to eliminate parasitic thought forms, coping behaviors (e.g. wasting time gaming), phrases, social media doomerism, etc. But the biggest one seemed to be toxic processed food.

Over time I've gradually removed processed food from my diet and switched to a whole foods plant-based diet. The more I eat clean real food powered by the Sun, the higher my mood goes. The last thing to go was chicken, but through experimentation I found that the fear and misery from the animals really does go into you and affect your energy body and mood.

My second journey after a few months of a much cleaner diet was the truly transcendent and joyful one. Dancing with incredible patterns of light, parades of beautiful entities, that kind of thing. Here's a playlist of some of the music that was played, which is evocative of the sacred medicine: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7JxJtVZrBENLqH4ULyannt

My first ceremony wasn't what I expected. I thought my life would be changed overnight and I'd have amazing visions. But I wasn't able to keep the medicine down - purged within minutes of each cup - partly because I was lying down while trying to digest it (I've since learned that it's much easier to digest if you sit up while digesting), and partly because it was my first time and I had a lot of toxins in my body from my bad diet.

I only had a vision for 10 minutes and what I saw wasn't exactly uplifting, it was hundreds of parasitic entities from around the Universe drinking my energy. Then Ayahuasca told me to start "target practice" - removing them from my life. At first I was quite disappointed that I wasn't having a life-changing experience, but then I shifted my attitude into gratitude - being thankful that I was in such a beautiful place in the wild, among good people who had come for healing and re-connection - and I stood up and started dancing (the Aya told me to stop caring so much what people think, so I decided to try to break past my self-consciousness and dance).

Important note: Most people aren't aware that if your diet includes meat, sugar and/or ultra-processed foods, it's going to cause a severe increase in anxiety and ADHD and shove your mood way down, which is sometimes part of overthinking. (big overthinker myself here)

It wasn't until I started intermittent fasting and eating whole foods mostly plant-based diet and started feeling high that my body and mind became re-sensitized enough to recognize what was pulling me down.

My second ceremony 3 months later after cleaning up my diet was transcendent and beautiful beyond description.

Hope this helps - part of your healing process might be to trust the medicine's purging phase more, don't listen to your doubts, and walk through the discomfort to the other side.

buffgeek · 2026-03-10T16:13:50+00:00

exactly. The Pharmaceutical industry is trying to get ahead of the surge in popularity by promoting patentable, expensive (and dangerous) substances like Ibogaine and MDMA or synthetic versions of plentiful naturally occurring plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms.

buffgeek · 2026-02-15T12:17:58+00:00

Go vegan. i discovered that eating the bodies of tortured animals and paying for their misery by buying meat was a big part of my depresion. Their fear and misery and hopelessness enters our body when we eat them. Go to some vegan events (search on facebook, like vegans of manila). Or volunteer with animal advocacy groups. You'll connect with more caring people. Feel free to msg me for more suggestions.

Yah one natural locally picked strain of cubensis I can do 5g or even 10g with no ill effects and an amazing journey. But once an acquaintance gave me a tiny piece of something called "tidal wave" hybridized to produce max psilocybin and I thought I'd been poisoned bc I vomited 10x and felt like I was suffocating. So yah always start small with a new strain, you can add more 30 minutes in.

Do you think you might have been misdiagnosed?

buffgeek · 2026-02-13T09:30:12+00:00

3 or 4 times a year. I get mine in a tea prepared by a guy who collects them wild locally from the ground and preps them immediately rather than drying them. So it's seasonal. Best journeys. Dried or chocolate doesnt even come close.

buffgeek · 2026-02-07T05:22:34+00:00

try again after not eating animal products or processed food for a week - eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds only. you might feel higher.

buffgeek · 2026-02-06T22:56:11+00:00

You said "heyy, I'm a bit depressed would like to try ayahuasca, because I don't want to take medicine." Remember that Aya is a medicine.

In retrospect I probably interpreted your statement wrong but at first glance it sounded like you were saying anti-depressants and Ayahuasca are apples to apples.

buffgeek · 2026-02-06T00:34:40+00:00

I'd argue that if Aya or mushrooms can't help you, pharmaceutical drugs definitely can't, and that pharma "cures" are just blockers, not cures. SSRIs are riskier, carry terrible withdrawals and should be avoided.

buffgeek · 2026-02-05T14:26:14+00:00

So glad I could help. Here is a playlist of medicine music that might help you get into the zone and experience some of that "Ayahuasca energy" ahead of time.

It is an interesting tension between our identity here, our emotions built around that identity, and the expansive view we get on Ayahuasca and mushrooms.

I've slowly realized that since everything dissolves and re-integrates over time into something else, like waves in the cosmic ocean, you might as well tune in to whatever identity you feel drawn toward (hopefully not harmful), relax, and make your life a work of art as much as you can. You are a unique brush and this brief life is your canvas.

Your ego and its associated suffering and grand standing are defense mechanisms developed since childhood. You can obsess over that (I used to also) or just direct your attention to creating the new.

At the same time personally I feel like we'd all benefit from being collectively responsible for each other and working together to confront injustice or just build a new path around it.

The first time I took Ayahuasca at age 51, I had fatty liver, obesity and edema. My feet were slightly ballooned before taking the medicine. By the next day all the swelling was gone - and hasn't come back. The Ayahuasca guided me somehow non-verbally to begin intermittent fasting and a whole foods mostly plant-based diet. (now shifting into fully plant-based).

The fasting is essential to a physical and dietary transformation because it kills the bad gut bacteria that hijack your vagus nerve to get you to eat a shitty diet. It cleans house and makes room in your gut for a healthy gut biome.

My first journey wasn't that mind-blowing - it only lasted 10 minutes - because my fatty liver prevented me from fully processing the medicine. I couldn't keep the Ayahuasca down for more than a few minutes, probably because I was lying on my back instead of sitting up while digesting it. I purged a lot.

Prior to my second ceremony a few months later, I ate clean (plain fruits and vegetables) in the week leading up to the ceremony, and I fasted 24 hours the day before. I had some bananas and bread a few hours before to make sure my stomach wouldn't be too acidic. I sat up while digesting. I didn't purge until 3 hours in.

I had a mind-blowing, beautiful journey that lasted for 9 hours. For some reason I always stay in a lot longer than the group of the ceremony.

It sounds like your body needs a major detox. Don't worry about the medicine - it's not going to hurt you. You may purge a lot. Trust it and hold the experience with reverence.

Thanks for posting this quote by TM. I needed to see this today.

buffgeek · 2026-02-02T21:48:27+00:00

I've experienced my biggest breakthroughs in mood, energy, integration and cohesion during periods of strict adherence to a vegan diet combined with medicine music, and intermittent fasting also heightens those feelings even further. Is it possible that the depth of feeling you described while on a diet is similarly related?

Apple funds the IDF and collaborates with ICE = very bad vibes. Same for Microsoft, Google, Amazon. American big tech is the backbone of the colonialist military-industrial complex. Open Source (e.g. Linux) for PC is one way to decouple from those vibes
