Entry disclaimer: I am not recommending anyone take these extremely potent psychedelic medicines without experience, a guide, etc, especially while sick, considering they can be very tough on the mind and body even while in a perfect state of health. That being said, read on.
I heard from a friend of mine the other day, and he told me he caught the virus and tested positive. Had symptoms, started out very mild but over the next few days, they progressed from a mild cold to very bad cold, to possibly mild flu-like symptoms. Naturally, I told him about Vit C/D/Zinc/Ivermectin right at the beginning, the second I heard he was sick, but he didn't want any unless he got worse.
Well, this morning I just got a message from him, and he said he's doing a lot better. What did he do/when did this happen? Well, the absolute mad lad decided it'd be a wonderful idea to go on a very intense psychedelic journey using DMT, vaporized through a standard cartridge as one would use for cannabis. He described it as a sort of death/rebirth experience. Immediately following the experience, vastly reduced symptoms. Today, 1 day later, all he's feeling is an incredibly mild cold.
I thought you guys would be interested in hearing this because we always love hearing stories about how old traditional remedies work so much better than expensive big pharma products, and new untested technology. Ayahuasca (contains DMT) has been used for thousands of years to treat a ton of various ailments.
I did some research after hearing this, and apparently, he's not the only one that had good results. This tribe here, the Kokama tribe basically gave a big fuck off to big pharma after a lot of their people were dying in hospitals, and decided to use Ayahuasca instead by keeping the infected distanced from everyone, and sending shamans to do home visits for the treatment.
Update from my friend on 1/1/2022: Just heard from him and he's still doing awesome, feeling just about normal now. He also told me his brother caught covid at around the same time and had progressed to the same state of very bad cold/mild flu symptoms, had no DMT, and currently has experienced no change, as in his brother is still pretty sick, he isn't.
That does make a lot of sense, which in this case makes this situation even odder to me. He vaporized the DMT out of a vape pen which is a shorter 15 minute very intense experience. I'm sure there are a few here and there that have purged on vaporized DMT experiences, but it's not the same major component of the experience as is with Ayahuasca.
Makes me wonder if the spiritual visions and psychedelic experience aspect of Ayahuasca is as critical, if not more so than the physical cleansing/purging aspect when it comes to healing.
