Dreaming with Schisandra

It’s been a week now that I’m taking Shisandra capsules in my antimicrobial protocol and this thing seems to have changed my dreams somehow.

First time that my dreams were changed in a similar way was when I started taking iodine. My dreams then became more complex and I remembered more.

After couple of months the effect diminished and my dreams became normal again.

Then, my dreams became strange again when I got my crystals. I wrote about some of them on the forum:

But after awhile the effect again diminished.

But now it’s back again since I started taking this plant. Sometimes I wake up with the feeling that I was very deep in my dreams, in the sense of being fully immersed, which is opposed to the usual shallow random thoughts dreams. This morning I had a very long dream in which I was in some hotel on a excursion with some unknown young people. Nothing special happened there, but it was unusual how long it lasted. My usual dreams are much shorter.

What also changed is my experiences during the meditation. I started feeling the energy again, which I couldn’t in the last two months. I had the same effect with the iodine and crystals before.

Here is what is said about this plant:

The Quintessential Full Spectrum Tonic Herb

The very name of Schizandra in Chinese, Wu Wei Zi, tells us a great deal about the qualities of this herb. Wu Wei Zi means “Five Flavors Fruit.” Due to the fact that Schizandra possesses all five of the classical “tastes” (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus possesses the essence of all five of the elemental energies (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), Schizandra is respected as a health-providing tonic in the same class with Ginseng, Reishi and Goji.

Schizandra has been used since the dawn of Chinese civilization as a tonic herb. From the beginning it has been revered, and remains one of the elite herbs of the Chinese system of herbalism. It was first written about in Shen Nong’s Pharmacopoeia (written between 1st and 2nd century A.D.) where it was listed as a Superior herb.

The Taoists especially have revered Schizandra. Schizandra was Ron Teeguarden’s teacher’s, Taoist Grandmaster Sung Jin Park’s, favorite herb. This is because Schizandra tonifies all 3 treasures**, enters all 12 meridians and nurtures all 5 elements. Master Park considered it to be the quintessential herbal substance.

Though Schizandra is believed to benefit all the functions of the body, it has traditionally been considered to have the most influence on the Kidney, Lung, Brain and Liver functions.

Schizandra chinensis (Wu Wei Zi)

1. Tonifies all 3 treasures.
2. Enters all 12 meridians
3. Nurtures all 5 elements.

The 3 Treasures are the 3 fundamental energies that make up life, the 12 meridians are the energy channels that flow throughout the body, the 5 elements are the five energy states of nature (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal). In short, Schizandra is a rare herb that can actually benefit all the bodily functions and organs of the body, according to the traditional Chinese and Taoist health system.

So perhaps this herb can also, like iodine, purify our glands/chakras or meridians? In any case, it does have some similar effects on me, so far.

Thanks for sharing your experiences concerning Schisandra, Persej. What else do you take in your antimicrobial protocol? Have you felt any other beneficial effects since starting the protocol?

It really seems like it's a powerful plant:

Schisandra is a plant. The fruit is used as food and also to make medicine.

Schisandra is used as an “adaptogen” for increasing resistance to disease and stress, increasing energy, and increasing physical performance and endurance.

Schisandra is also used for preventing early aging and increasing lifespan; normalizing blood sugar and blood pressure; and stimulating the immune system and speeding recovery after surgery.

It is also used for treating liver disease (hepatitis) and protecting the liver from poisons. The Chinese have developed a liver-protecting drug called DBD that is made from schisandrin, one of the chemicals in schisandra.

Other uses for schisandra include treatment of high cholesterol, coughs, asthma, sleep problems (insomnia), nerve pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), chronic diarrhea, dysentery, night sweats, spontaneous sweating, involuntary discharge of semen, thirst, erectile dysfunction (ED), physical exhaustion, excessive urination, depression, irritability, and memory loss.

Some people use schisandra for improving vision, protecting against radiation, preventing motion sickness, preventing infection, boosting energy at the cellular level, counteracting the effects of sugar, and improving the health of the adrenal glands.

How does it work?
The chemicals in schisandra improve liver function by stimulating enzymes (proteins that speed up biochemical reactions) in the liver and promoting liver cell growth.

So far no. Only the iodine and xylitol had a big effect. Other things that I'm currently taking (royal jelly, stevia, ginkgo) have no noticeable effect. There are some other herbs that people are recommending, but most of them are quite exotic for where are live. And most of them are from China, like this berry. If I continue to get some positive effects from this berry I'm gonna plant it. I checked and confirmed that you can grow it in European climate.
 
My intensive dreaming with schisandra stopped some time ago. The effect reminded me on iodine which also brought some intensive dreams for a couple of months and then they faded away. But the energetic effect during the meditation is still working, and even slowly improving, I might say. Even though I reduced the dose from 3 to only 1 capsule per day. On one Youtube video, one woman, who has experience with it, said that it can takes a couple of months to feel the full benefit with this berry. So I will continue with this protocol. So far, it works really well with EE.
