This is an update I sent to Brett Ellis, VP and head of product development at Mindful Meds
Here is an update to my micro dosing approach with Mindful Meds https://mindfulmeds.io/. In August I took a break of one month from micro dosing. Then I tried for 4 weeks the schedule
Monday 1 Mikro, Thursday 1 Connect
In the off days I experimented with the supplements, taking the suggested 2 capsules/day either alternating or Lion’s Mane Tuesday and Wednesday and Maca root Friday to Sunday.
I was not able to feel or sense any difference, so I doubled the doses to the suggested 4 capsules/day. The result was quite intense, but pretty well the opposite of what it should be in the description. Also I was pretty much “useless” on these days, no energy, no focus etc. So I stopped taking them.
Last week I read the book Recovery from Parkinson by Dr Madlock. www.pdrecovery.org
Based on that book I have a combination of type 1 and type 2 Parkinson’s Disorder (PD).
What is crucial for recovery is that type 1 is cleared first. This clearing is to be done on a mental level only, because PD 1 is basically induced by a mental “decision”. Only when PD 1 is cleared, can one treat PD 2, which is caused by blockages from physical trauma.
To use Dopamine enhancing or producing methods, regardless if they are based on allopathic or natural remedies including Qi Gong or acupuncture, is an absolute no go. Fortunately, psilocybin is not a dopamine enhancer, but Lion’s Mane and Maca Root are. This explains my reaction to taking 4 capsules/day (which I only did one day each).
Now I take ⅓ of an Inspire capsule on Monday and Wednesday and 1 Connect on Tuesday and Thursday. ⅓ of an Inspire capsule contains only 50 mg of Lion’s Mane which is very low compared to 5600 mg in 4 capsules. 300 mg Maca Root in 1 Connect capsule is a bit higher in proportion to the 4800 mg in 4 capsules, but should be monitored by my health practitioner. I am also due for another 4 week break again.
I post this update as #25 on my Parkinson’s blog. Blog #24 gives a summary of my reaction to reading Dr. Madlock’s book which might be of interest to you as well.
