Thank you for reaching out, Ivan. I’ve added a section stating the risks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PoppyTea/comments/5eieyy/read_this_before_posting_poppy_tea_and_your_safety/

Unwashed poppy-seeds have significant amounts of not only morphine but also 50 other opioidergic alkaloids, creating a cocktail effect upon combination.

Alkaloid content among seeds can very 6000-fold, which means that 10g of a batch of seeds can have the equivalent potency of 100g of seeds.

Deaths have occurred due to respiratory depression when overdosing on poppy-seeds as result of due huge variance in content.

Physical addiction is real, and is often worse than a standalone morphine or heroin addiction due to the amount of alkaloids in the poppy-seeds.

It is a heads up, since your website also offers consultancy services which could make you liable.

You def. Need to get your daughter into something that involves exercise. I myself have always had some sort of opiate deficiency. Exercise regimen is the only time I’ve been happy in my life with out the help of narcotics. Funny thing is due to the damGe thgat opiates did to my brain i van not get motivated to exercise or develop in sort of regiment for that matter. I gotta figure something out, a life of existing is no life at all.

I pickef up some from intelligent labs called Mag Enhance it has Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium Taurate and best of all Magtein AKA Magnesium L-Threonate. I feel much calmer/relaxed not as overwhelmed. Do yourself a favor and give it a try you wil not regret it.

It changes immune balance by affecting th1 and th2 and of course, th17 systems. It depends on dose amount and length of time as to what is supresses or stimulates. It is unfortunately touted as a wonder cure, and while shows a lot of promise for some things, it is not wise to take it willy nilly. Be very careful, do not go exacerbating some autoimmunity or opening yourself up for infection by taking it without knowing what else is going on.

Your gut has the second highest concentration of opiod receptors in your body, sometimes described as a ‘second brain’. There is some element of neurotransmitter production here too… although I am not qualified to describe any of that in detail.

Below is an outline for a simple procedure that engages dopamine-opioid interactions to significantly raise opioid and dopamine levels in the brain. It is derived from the work of the neuroscientist Dr. Kent Berridge of the University of Michigan, who was kind to vet the manuscript for errors and to endorse the resulting work.

To wit:
Individuals who engage in tasks that have a consistent and high degree of positive prediction error or ‘meaning’ (e.g. sporting events, creative activity) commonly report a feeling of high alertness and arousal that may be construed to be due to the activation of mid-brain dopamine systems. However, a significant subset of these individuals also report a feeling of pleasure or bliss, but these reports are characteristic only in non-stressed situations when the musculature is relaxed. Since relaxation engages opioid systems in the brain, and because opioid and dopamine systems potentiate each other, blissful states require the sustained and simultaneous engagement of resting protocols and meaningful cognitive states, behaviors that in the author’s opinion are very easily achieved. (The argument is stated in greater detail on pp.39-41 of the linked little book below.)

This position may or may not be theoretically correct, but it can be easily tested personally (no need for brain scans, control groups or in vivo manipulations), which is a far faster way of refuting my position than a scholarly critique!

I did not know that exercising more could help a person feel happier because of the endorphins being produced. Thanks for informing me that heavy weights or training that incorporates sprinting or other anaerobic exertion are best if you want this boost. We will have to get our daughter involved in a sport, thanks again.

Took vivitrol (naltrexone ER) as part of rehab, to prevent relapse. For me, I think it causes slight dysphoria and anhedonia. However, once the naltrexone ER starts to wear off (35-50+ days) I become more euphoric and enjoy things more, I believe, than if I had never taken the vivitrol shot. Point is… I would probably be a proponent of the low-dose naltrexone.
Has anyone here tried the low-dose naltrexone or had experience with naltrexone ER?

Doctors don’t generally know about this stuff. That’s why we come to places like this.

I have no idea what is your cause, but I got copper deficiency after a few months of too much zinc (dosages vary per person); & one symptom of that was anhedonia – inability to feel pleasure from pleasurable things.

I’m wondering if andominal pain can induce opiates. I like the opiate feeling but I’m worried about what’s going on down there-cancer-? And I can’t get my doctor to take me seriously! Any ideas?

That’s 8 years. I’ve used it for confidence you might consider in terms of approaching strangers for sales,meeting new friends and meeting girls. Mood is very important so is energy. When the Kratom does hit you with its high, hopefully you supplement with turmeric black pepper and 5-htp to help tolerance a bit. Well when it hits you can be confident and feel like oh my gosh my day is so amazing already. So one rejection is nothing to me. You will particularly notice if you are rejected and yet unaffected that you are likely getting a boost from it.

People except high energy so some half hello or quick compliment may not be enough depending on how rushed the person is, how attractive you seem etc
