      Look into a herb called Lobelia inflata. It is a nicotine receptor partial agonist that will give you a similar dopamine response. You can use it as needed for cravings...although in higher doses it will lead to intense nausea (its common name is pukeweed). Can't send private msgs on here for some reason..so posted to your profile

    Born in NZ of a Fijian mother and Scottish father. Gymnast through teen years, Martial artist through 20s and 30s, Very sedentary unhealthy lifestyle in early 40s and getting back to being healthy again from mid 40s on.

    The martial arts part of my life was derived from chinese internal or meditative martial arts using chi (vital energy) and yi (will/intent).

    Married 23 years (but together 30, high school sweethearts) with 3 offspring ranging from 18 to 23.

    Currently declining the lure of higher paying employment in favor of health and quality of life. We live on 5 acres by a river in beautiful surroundings.
    Eating an Epi-paleo template and engaging in CT with good results including elimination of pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis in knees. . . .

    Health, Nutrition, Internal Martial Arts, Horsemanship

    Update July 2021:

    Following release from covid19 lock down in New Zealand, we (my wife and I) fell off the wagon and went on a binge of partying for several months. This culminated in a severe, sudden and unexpected myocardial infarction in February of 2021.

    Since then, I have discovered that I likely (clinically self diagnosed but to be confirmed using 23andme) have a gene mutation predisposing me to CVD and that while I was following Jack's good advice - things were under control.

    Back on the wagon again now with the exception of CT and learning more than ever.
