Magic Mushrooms - Almost Illegal In The Netherlands


Dutch Health Minister, after conducting some studies on magic mushrooms or 'shrooms' which concluded that the fungus is totally harmless to public health, still decided that they should be declared illegal.

A remarkable decision, because although many experts affirm that the effects experienced from psilocybin are caused by the toxic properties of compounds, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (a branch of the Centers for Disease Control) rated the psilocybin less toxic than regular aspirin. In other words, hallucinogenic mushrooms do not pose a real threat. Conversely, the positive effect is really incredible. Among the positive effects we see:

• Possible interruption of cluster sequences in those suffering from cluster headaches;

• Life changing spiritual experience;

• Boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny;

• Creative, philosophical or deep thinking: ideas flow more easily;

• Mood lift, euphoria;

Emollients and Lubricant Drugstore Laxatives

Stool Softener Laxatives - Emollients

Stool softeners and emollients work by absorbing water into the fecal matter. This makes the fecal matter softer so it can pass easier through your colon and out the rectum. Two of the chemicals used in stool softener laxatives are docusate sodium and docusate calcium.

Don't use these types of laxatives since they have chemicals that can produce side effects. Docusate sodium has been found to increase the toxicity of drugs when taken at the same time. In addition, they affect liver function.

You can find some of these laxatives at your local drugstore under the names,

* Colace – contains docusate sodium

* Dialose – contains docusate sodium

* Surfak – contains docusate calcium
