Reminds me of @remissionbiome @RenegadeRes Euphoria =Remission Event...similar to what 25% of users of low-dose nicotine patches experience.
The antibiotic Iproniazid was used to treat tuberculosis (TB) patients in the 1950s causing patients to feel an "unreasonable sense of euphoria (1)." Many TB patients also suffer from depression; therefore, a few psychiatrists leveraged this side effect to treat their depressed TB patients (1).

@BFitz5337 That is why we updated the protocol to start from a very low dose and for people to go by feeling. But nicotine is not the only thing out there to try. You can work on gut health or some other medications.

@SnoopDougieDoig @loscharlos That is why we are collecting data. Each person on the Internet lives in bubbles that do not reflect reality. Plus, success stories are published once... problems adapting can mean lots of posts by the 10% who have issues.

@slurketta @jewstein3000 @loscharlos It depends on the person. And... since people see benefits they are often afraid to stop. But eventually people stop and they still see the benefits... but each person is different and it can take months.

@Gooische_Vrouw @RenegadeRes In general nicotine is a vasodialator. More bloodflow to the brain and main organs. However, the peripheral bloodflow compensates by constricting. But at the low doses we use there are not major effects for most.

@patriotovrparty @jewstein3000 @loscharlos Seeing the comments of past smokers on the Facebook group might help convince you that addiction is not an issue.

@dokter_Arf @loscharlos In the end we are such a heterogeneous group it is hard to say. People who have had it less than a year definitely need less time. But people who have had ME for 40, 50 and 60 years have seen benefits.

@loscharlos On Twitter I only post a few of the wins. On Facebook, the stories of every type and the sickness response that some go throw are more clear. Someone even said that they are so sensitive that it took them weeks to build up to 0.44mg! Others feel nothing until getting to 21 mg.

@loscharlos I agree. The exponential growth of the Facebook group is a good sign that people see benefits and tell others. Hopefully, the new data will be published soon...

2/2 "Interestingly, following extended nicotine exposure, nicotine was found to alter the interplay between purinergic and nicotinic signaling in a sex-specific manner." ... kainate receptor rebound from stopping low-dose nicotine? @KatBoniface

@nobrinski70 @evajupiterskies Good. But there are much better sources of vitamin C than juice which can lead to metabolic issues in some people. And I think that smoking increases the risk of Bells Palsy. Hopefully you can switch over to patches one day to get the benefits without the toxins.
