yes but if you are not ready and weak minded don't. it's intense and the hallucinations are sometimes mind shattering. once you get sufficiently lighted, there is no way back. i remember when i did acid with 2 bros. i was just enjoying the visuals and touching a lemon skin with my fingers and watching them freak out and their heads turn into round balls. one was laughing histerically, the other one had a trip that we tried to convince him its real and was mad at himself for abusing drugs and not being there for his son. everything had small dots like eyes and your shit gets flipped upside down. in a sense you are getting plugged into yourself. i finally realised how important real closeness to another human is and i learned to be glad that i have this opportunity to be in this place and time and breathe the air and hug my family.

I guess you know nothing, then.

because they don't understand how ionizing radiation actually affects you at certain doses. Any dose below 100 mSv more than likely did not effect you at all, with under 10 mSv being considered negligible and having shown recently to cause no damage at all to your body. Our bodies can handle a decent amount of radiation that goes beyond whatever you would experience in a hospital, or in nature. Major accidents in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs have the chance of affecting you via the ionizing radiation they're releasing. I've seen people freaking out over their 5 mSv CT scan, thinking they're totally going to get cancer or something. It's really silly. I think radiophobia is really dangerous to the public. I've had people call my hospital to ask about cancer worries from getting their CT scan when they were having nausea and headaches after hitting their head. Like, your chances of this giving you cancer are so stupidly small, and you're going to really be more worried about that than your headaches and nausea?

If I even had to assign a percentage for any adult, it'd be like 1 in 10,000-20,000 maybe and that'd be just from the studies I've read that even suggest a risk. Lets say that was reality. Do you know how many people would press a button if they had a 1 in 10,000 chance of dying but they'd otherwise get even just $1,000? Most people would press that button like 100 times.

We literally still have no true evidence that ionizing radiation at these low doses does anything at all. We've shown that under 10 mSv does not damage DNA, so almost every CT scan is extremely safe.

Atomic bombs and nuclear reactor melt downs... just hope you aren't close by.

People breathe in radon every fucking second of their life, for fucks sake.

I had it for my entire life, but then I conked my head a few months ago and it sort of increased, and I now also have those sparkles when I look at the sky and other little starbursts/afterimages/trails of light etc.. So, I guess we're in the same boat.

>Recent research has confirmed a brain hypermetabolism in persons with visual snow, located principally in the right lingual gyrus.

This is what hypermetabolism actually is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermetabolism

Funnily enough, my mother and her mother both suffer from hyperthyroidism/graves disease, which is apparently a cause for hypermetabolism, so maybe conking my head triggered something that I inherited. It seems awfully coincidental, no?

From all of the research I've done, it is benign and doesn't effect your life span or anything weird like that. We probably will have some treatment/more information within the next few years. it seems like a simple thing to treat. We just need to wait for the research to complete.

Is nausea/vertigo/headache(behind eyes, back of neck, and between eyebrows) a normal thing that a lot of people experience? It never gets bad enough to take anything for it or feel like i'm actually going to throw up or fall over or anything like that, always really mild, but it happens almost every day for the last few months. I went to my doctor and they think it's BPPV but I'm not so sure as the exercises don't seem to do shit. I also have more visual snow-like problems. Is this sinusitis? Do I have some inner-ear problem?
