Review of modafinil 19 May 2025 - 10:14 AM

I’ve been using Modafinil on and off for about a year now, mostly for work and some side projects. I started with 100 mg a couple of times a week, but now I’m up to 200 mg about three days a week from highstreetpharma. At first, it felt like I had discovered the ultimate productivity hack—like there was nothing I couldn’t accomplish. I crushed my to-do list every single day, knocked out months-old projects, and even started hobbies I’d been procrastinating on for years.

But here’s the thing: the honeymoon phase is over, and I’ve realized that Modafinil is not a magic bullet. Sure, it helps me focus, but it doesn’t make the work itself easier or faster—it just makes me more willing to grind through it. Lately, I’ve been feeling this weird pressure to always be productive when I take it, and honestly, it’s exhausting.

The worst part? When I’m not on Modafinil, I feel sluggish and unmotivated, almost like my "off" days are getting worse because I’ve raised my expectations so high. I’ve been questioning whether this level of productivity is even sustainable. Is it worth feeling like I’m in overdrive all the time?

I’m curious if anyone else has hit this wall. How do you balance using Modafinil as a tool without letting it take over your life? Have you found ways to pace yourself or maintain a sense of balance, even on the days you’re not taking it?

HELP: 8y trying to get E. coli Nissle 1917 (MUTAFLOR) 18 May 2025 - 11:16 PM

Over the last 8 YEARS I've tried to get my hands on E. coli Nissle 1917 (MUTAFLOR) for its benefits on autoimmunity/HPA axis/gut issues, etc.

But the 4x I bought it, it was lost by the ¨#%&@¨$# Brazilian Mail service and arrived WAY too late, all bacteria as dead as nails the four times. (It's absurdly expensive by BR standards - and it must be kept refrigerated, so time's ticking as soon as it's sent).

BACKGROUND: It's basically a supersoldier bacterial strain of (very) friendly E. coli that hunts down and destroys mercilessly a host of dysbiotic microbes, leading to hundreds of popular reports of complete remissions of dozens of types of autoimmune conditions, gut issues, skin conditions, and whatnot.

Take a look at this study if you will: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5603654/ (Oral Administration of the Probiotic Strain Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 Reduces Susceptibility to Neuroinflammation and Repairs Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis-Induced Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction).

There are dozens like it.

RISE TO FAME: It's (in)famous for having been taken out of a soldier's arse in 1917 for having survived the trenches while everyone else died horribly of dysentery and also for having saved the life (or dearly improved the health) of Hitler as Dr. Morel, his personal physician, prescribed it to him in 1936.

WHERE IT'S SOLD: AFAIK it's sold in Australia, NZ, Germany and perhaps a few Nordic countries (not in Sweden where I got extended family...) and not in Brazil (where I reside) and most of EU countries or US/Canada; It's got a bad legal status in most countries as it's a strain of E. coli and, therefore, considered a disease-causing bacteria (nonsense - this strain is extremely well-studied and ABSURDLY healthy/friendly).

GETTING MUTAFLOR: I'm open to ANY way of getting MUTAFLOR. ANY idea/gimmick/hack that HELPs ME put my hands on this (still alive) strain of E Coli is deeply appreciated.

HELP?: If any guy/gal from the Longecity community would be willing to help me get it/send it to me/whatever in some way that it would reach me alive, I'd appreciate it DEARLY...! It's being sh*t to stand these life-wrecking symptoms of autoimmunity and it could make a huge POSITIVE difference in my life quality.

As I said, I reside in Brazil, Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul.

CEBRAOPTIM - source where to buy? 15 May 2025 - 11:07 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know or have used Cebraoptim?

I understand that it is a natural product with a nootropic effect and it is used in clinics by doctors for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, strokes and other brain disorders....it increases the ability to learn, memorize and recall information, verbal fluency and even concentration.

Thanks
