if you don't love yourself you don't care what you put in your body (food/drugs) and what shape it is in

most illnesses are due to not loving yourself, once you love yourself, all illnesses magically disappear because the body is more adaptable and able to heal than you would ever have imagined

if only he could prescribe psychedelics to his patients, that is how it should work, instead of all the addictive chemical junk most docs prescribe
psychedelics are non-addictive and safer than coffee, except for a minority of people (but they can be screened out by the doc easily)
wish my doc had taken psychedelics, he doesn't care about his patients

I love how he hints at the notion that chronic amphetamine users or addicts are "rats", without actually flat out saying it. Those people probably were shitty people to begin with and the drug just intensified their douchebaginess. Don't just immediately presume that someone who does or has done meth recreationally is automatically a "tweaker" 'cause it's just brainwashing to keep you from trying drugs. Those meth mouth ads are fucking stupid. Why don't we have similar ads for sugar and candy?

I have a theory about your dreams, but I'm no doctor. I have had amazing vivid dreams all my life. I suspect that you have had vivid dreams most of your life, but just never knew it because you were a different type of sleeper before lipitor and your heart condition. I attribute vivid dreams to being woken up during deep sleep. I am a light-deep sleeper. I can sleep anywhere at anytime, but often wake up at the slightest movement or sound. When I'm drunk or really tired, I don't have dreams.

He also experimented with stimulants when he was a med student, most likely methamphetamines or meth, which everyone thinks is so bad and if you do it once you'll be a tweaker and lose your family, house, money, teeth, blah blah blah. But it's just a ploy to get you to not do drugs. And I agree, most people should NOT do drugs, but some should definitely try and experiment. JUST REMEMBER, MODERATION IS KEY!!!

I am writing a blog now titled STATIN ISLAND, about my
use of the drug LIPITOR for my heart condition and stent, 10 mgs every
night, the statins in the pills give me nightly surreal vivid
vicacious dreams, 24/7 for 3 years now, without fail. I want to know
what is in the statins that does this to me, and i want to know if
Lipitor would make a useful recreational drug for anyone, of any age,
for dreaming at night. Any side effects if there is no heart trouble?
