Ever thought about having intestinal worms? I believe capsules with eggs were sold long time ago for weight loss lol They are apparently v good for gentle immunosuppressant effect as they secrete chems to stop the I.S. from attacking them. When I heard about that, I wondered whether maybe a symbiotic relationship may have existed at some stage. Obviously an out there treatment, but you never know ;P

It's simply astounding that it often takes up to 15 years and $600m to produce to market a pharmaceutical product that might not even break even in returns yet some pissweak, 6 week clinical study can be evidence enough to have a compound banned, one that was actually generating tax revenue. Obviously not more than mining is making though right. Maybe a clinical trial of paracetamol should be done to see if mice given 5 times the recommended dosage, or sustained high doses, suffer any ill side effects that warrant its banning... It's so obvious its probably annoying to point out the two sided arguments generally presented to us: if we make money from it and the morality police don't have a problem, then you can be trusted to use appropriately. If its for your leisure, then absolutely not!

Yoghurt is definitely a good long term treatment and as a douche may be uncomfortable, but can help. B-d paris creek yoghurt might be a good choice, it's not too thick and is not heavily processed. Probiotics would be a good choice too, maybe along with a prebiotic such as daily dandelion tea (generally good allrounds anyways.) Lapacho (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is really good for candida specifically and to boost immune function, as is Cat's claw. Take a tea 3 times daily. Siberian ginseng is good for recovery from chronic illness and maintenance of good health, but shouldn't be used when still ill. Same goes for schisandra I believe. Good luck

I was just wondering if anyone has some T. Bridgesii pollen that they could spare for a trade, or some cashola. Not sure if I have anything worth trading really, but I might be able to scrounge something up Pollen from good yielding T. Bridgesii is preferred, if I can also be a chooser ;) A bridgesii, which I planted before realising, has started flowering for the first time, and I'm making a B-plan just incase it isn't self fertile. Thanks

Using ash has got to be better than burning your mouth with lime paste Although that's probably due to impatience I guess

Probably another example of the general populations apathy towards what the government is doing. I'm so sick of family first, should keep their narrow, misguided views out of politics and leave them in the church to affect only people who don't mind or won't do anything about it... oh wait :/

Hey, just thought I'd post some pics n ask how long ya reckon till they're ready to open? Thanks btw :D I quite happy that there's two flowers starting on this branch, and about three more on another :D

Think this is called the stretching-yawning complex or syndrome and it is common among some animals.

Other plants will only benefit from N fixing bacteria on root nodules of other plants, if they fix an excess of nitrogen. For example, growing mucuna vines throughout a crop can fix up to 200kg N per hectare. Apo - I remember reading that there is a test you can do to see if plants are good companions. It involved taking some leaves of each plant, extracting and putting the extracts in a petri dish or similar, and a particular reaction occuring over time showed whether they were good to go or not. Looking just now, it seems this could be a part of allelopathy. Even if this doesn't perfectly describe companion plants, it could give a good estimation.

So does the khat importation permit no longer exist? There is (or used to be) a permit analogous to the kava permit, for importing khat. You could probably get it fairly fresh if you could find somewhere that'd be able to send it express lol

The full effects take a while to come on, so the caffeine seems to keep you entertained to some degree while you're waiting. M tends to be quite a good stimulant for the first hour or so or longer, then things start to get fun

Just wondering what you peoples think about whether this needs staking or not. Its leaning quite a bit, but it has always seemed to have somewhat of a weeping form. I think all the foilage is on one side because it got pretty windy through winter lol Just wondering if it will need a big stake, or whether over time it won't really matter if it has a bit of a lean or some twists Once again sorry for the shitty phone camera blur The picture is taken downwards a little bit, and the tree curves backwards somewhat as well. At first I thought it could be the extra hot weather, but I watered it heaps plus, as I said, its always been somewhat weeping

Hrm... Do you know if it would be worth letting this WA species of acuminata getting nice and busy, or letting it grow tall and trunky? Either way the weeping pattern is quite nice really.

Certain plants sure do love being planted together. Companion planting I think its called. Tomato and basil for example, not only great flavour combo, but they bother grow better when planted near one another. The reverse is true too, onions and beans don't like each other I think it is. In your case, I'm thinking that your only problem would be crowding

Ahhhh koalas... Natures cooks.

Would be good if 4-MAR was medically recognised =D

Just thought I'd share, I only bought it about 4 months ago, and its only in a small pot. They looked much better yesterday morning, and then we had a 41 degree day that was windy as hell. In fact, I'm surprised they're still there at all. Sorry for the quality.

Wonder if soaking leaves in a small amount of strong acid solution followed by quick, heatless drying (freeze/vacuum drying or maybe dehydrator) of the whole lot might enable storage of somewhat active dried leaves, provided the stay very dry. Acid could protect the cathinone while at the same time possibly deactivating the enzyme. Just chucking ideas out there. I know that in Japan they've managed to make storable miraculin tablets (easily degradated active in miracle berries) by freeze drying a water extract with large amounts of starch. Having useful dried leaves would be nice, just easier than going the full extraction which also would leave a product in either liquid or crystal, both prone to degradation. I spose the biggest thing is that cathinone itself really isn't all that stable, so no matter what is done to improve khat, it probably wont be a huge difference.

Cathinone info This reference says that tautomerism does occur, but simply causes a racemic mixture. Also this, More info It mentions a cathinone reductase enzyme capable of converting cathinone into cathine exists in plant material, which makes more sense as a depotenizing (:s) agent as cathine is just the reduced form of cathinone, with the dimers being only small fractions (assumed artifacts) when identified, according to the first reference. Now I'm wondering if an alcohol will denature the enzyme without reacting at the C=O so that storage of 'denatured' khat leaves is possible? I wonder if this would also make possible a selectively bred 'low enzyme' form? I'm assuming that the fact that (meth)cathinone contain a reactive C=O alone make them quite easily degredated, but I would also think that the enzyme is a large contributor to the cathine production, which would also provide an answer to why theres mostly cathinone in younger leaves, but cathine and others in older leaves :D Just something I've been thinking about.

Sigh...

Can anyone say "Open warrant?" Pretty sure that SA still has an open warrant system, and is the only state that does. I know that once reasonable cause is found, all bets are most likely off, but what about a warrant. Do they declare specific areas to search, or specific item to seize. Because, as I mentioned above, I was under the impression that SA had a system where a particular kind of warrant can be issued, generally to senior officers, allowing the seizure of items that aren't disclosed on the warrant? Or is this normal? Letter Doesn't explain alot but kind of alludes to some rights police have I suppose.

*sigh* So as not to degenerate this thread I'll put something into it besides that ^ (hehe) I'm pretty sure a lot of the HHH staff have myspace/facebook pages, which u might be able to find?

elecampane

Elecampane is good in cough drops. Maybe really small amounts of lobelia inflata too? Small amounts being the key words here - edit - spelling
