If it's so hard to dose, how come you don't just use a syringe and needle and do a subcutanous injection? I'm guessing this would work just as well as burning yourself and then placing it on the skin (which seems to be an unusually painful form of subcutanous administration of the drug).
If you are talking about kambo, the waxy secretion obtained from the skin of the Amazonian giant leaf frog, then I imagine this secretion may be full of bacteria and other microbes, so you probably would not want to inject it.
As for pure dermorphin from a chemical supplier, which is what I have, I guess you could inject this, but I am not really familiar with how to prepare a sterile solution for injection.
I'm very curious as to why this particular compound causes what you claim is a remission. Unless we later find out it has an ungodly affinity for another target or unheard of functional selectivity at the MOR there's really not much that sets this apart from other short acting ultra potent opioids.
Note that Jox used kambo to obtain remission from his CFS, and kambo contains other potent drugs and compounds in addition to dermorphin. It may be that Jox's remission was due to the combination of drugs in kambo.
Though my hunch is that dermorphin is the key player in this CFS remission.
To understand how dermorphin might cause CFS remission, we need to understand the disease processes in CFS. Many researchers believe chronic fatigue syndrome is caused by a long-term low-level infection of the brain, from a virus such as an enterovirus. Many of the various symptoms of CFS are probably caused not so much by the virus itself, but by the immune response to the virus. There will be a strong inflammatory response to the virus in the brain, and this inflammation in the brain likely drives many CFS symptoms. In particular, the inflammatory cytokine
IL-6, released by the immune system in the brain, may be causing a lot of the symptoms of CFS.
Now interestingly,
this study suggests that mu-opioid receptor stimulation decreases IL-6 (and delta-opioid receptor stimulation increases IL-6). And
this study says that in monocytes, mu-opioid receptor stimulation by morphine decreases IL-6.
So dermorphin may be reducing the severity of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome just by reducing the IL-6 driven inflammation in the brain.
DERMORPHIN CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME TREATMENT UPDATE:
I already mentioned earlier in this thread that, after administering a single dose 100 mcg of dermorphin intranasally in an experiment to treat my CFS, in the days following that single dose, there were many noticeable improvements in my CFS symptoms: my anxiety disorder symptoms disappeared, the inflammation in my sinuses and head disappeared, my brain fog improved, and my sensory hypersensitivity improved.
I also already mentioned that there were also some negative effects from this dermorphin: I felt emotionally and intellectually a little flat for days after taking dermorphin.
However, on the fourth day after taking that single dose of dermorphin, all hell broke loose, and I suddenly entered a horrible mental state of mild psychosis, with severe emotional flatness, which was very disorienting.
I have experienced days with mild psychosis symptoms before (they are not uncommon in people like myself with anxiety disorder), but I had not had a mild psychosis attack for a long time.
On the fifth day after taking dermorphin (the next day), most of these mild psychosis effects disappeared, and I was back to normal. But the good effects of dermorphin on my CFS also wore off by the fifth day, so it was back to square one at that point.
So the effects (good and bad) of a single 100 mcg intranasal dose of dermorphin seem to last for around 4 days.
This unpleasant mild psychosis experience on the forth day was quite off-putting. Though I think this bad experience may just be something particular to me, as I have had some mild psychosis symptoms before, due to my anxiety disorder. So this mild psychosis may not manifest in other people with CFS trying dermorphin.
It is now 10 days since I took that single dermorphin dose, and there are no long term effects to report. Everything has returned to normal.
SUMMARY OF MY DERMORPHIN CFS-TREATMENT EXPERIENCE:
The benefits of dermorphin for chronic fatigue syndrome that I observed are significant, and dermorphin would appear to be a potentially very useful treatment for CFS.
However, in my case, the side effects of dermorphin — the emotional and intellectual flatness, culminating in a day with some mild psychosis symptoms — were a problem. However, I think these side effects may just be an idiosyncratic response in me, and may not appear in other people.
If I can find a way to prevent these side effects, I would definitely further experiment in taking dermorphin regularly as a CFS treatment.
