Synchronicity: About 2 hours prior to the proving commencement, a small earthquake hit the San Francicso Bay Area.Not everybody felt the earthquake yet the proving also reflected its influence.Commentaries and references to the earthquake were included in the proving as seemed appropriate.The possibility that the provers were in fact partially proving “earthquake” is an interesting consideration.

of events that seems to surround a proving, some connection between the earthquake and that of the proving might be speculated (or hotly debated depending on your position on these things).The symptoms produced did seem to mingle both influences, with the images of cracks opening up, and the feelings of falling and sinking, at times into the earth and at other times just a falling sensation. However, given the fact that taking the remedy, feeling the earthquake, and experiencing the first symptoms all happened around the same time, references to the earthquake became recorded in the symptoms in the same way as any other phenomenon.It should be noted though that some of these images - the crack opening up in the world, the abyss, the sinking feeling - were also characteristics found in the writings of Native Americans, (see above) especially when Mature Flowers is thrown into the abyss, holding tobacco in her hand! Also, in the case presented, the patient spoke of being on the edge of an abyss.Is this a coincidence or part of the dynamic of the proving? Significance of any phenomenon in a proving has to be connected to its replication in as many places as possible.

Vergleich: enthält: Nicot (3.9% - 8.6%/4x wie Tab);

Siehe: Solanales + Tabacumgruppe + Insektizide + Pflanzenschutzmitteln + Etheogen

Allerlei: Nicot highest in cultivated species/much higher in Nicotiana rusticana than in Tab.

Nicot is the key alkaloid found in tobacco/addictIVE/poisonOUS (1 - 2 drops of pure nicotine can be lethal/can be as high as 20%. Nicotine = structurally similar to acetylcholine = a neurotransmitter active in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and in somatic nervous system at neuromuscular junctures = present in the Central Nervous System (CNS), which gives some neurochemical support for findings that nicotine affects learning.In the CNS, nicotine increases arousal and enhances the learning and performance of simple tasks/acts either as a stimulant or a sedative, depending on the amount taken. Nicot’s parasympathetic stimulation of the smooth muscles of the digestive tract has been understood for some time/action on the sympathetic nervous system are less well-known, but in addition to its mimicking of acetycholine, nicotine also stimulates the release of Adren and Dopamine/in smaller amounts: norepinephrine/serot. Norepinephrine is a neurohormone chemically related to mescaline. The significance of these neurotransmitters to the alleged hallucinatory effects of tobacco is still inconclusive, N. rustica contains the alkaloid harmaline, absent in Tab, potentiates the psychoactive properties of other alkaloids. Toxic effects of Tab: perspiration/light-headedness/weakness/tremors/convulsions/respiratory paralysis.

Several brain-areas can be affected by Alzheimer's disease contain nicotinic receptors for acetylcholine, but the number of these receptors seems to be greatly reduced in Alzheimer's disease patients. If nicotinic receptors are blocked in normal people by drugs such as mecamylamine/subjects do not perform as well in learning and reasoning tests. Conversely, the receptors can be activated by nicotine itself/tests in animals and humans show that nicotine increases the ability to pay attention to events and to remember new things. Smokers, of course, will not be surprised by this, as it has long been claimed that alertness/attention/memory/thinking are enhanced by smoking. Nicotine patches are being developed for use in Alzheimer's disease, to help the mental condition without the serious health problems that accompany smoking. Because nicotine activates receptors in the muscles, intestines and nerves, leading to digestive and cardiovascular problems, several companies are developing drugs that activate the nicotinic receptors in the brain.
