Talk:Simple LSA extraction: Difference between revisions

:[[user:Clarity|@Clarity]] Sorry, my notifications were going to my super-sekrit email that I never check, and I'm knew to Wiki editing. Problem is that the whole protocol is based on removing cyanide from the seeds--the author cites "cyanogenic glycosides" and a garlic addition to remove it. I know from experience these seeds will make you retch, hard, and it sounds anecdotally to be predictable, but if that was from cyanide, I'd expect other symptoms too, like death. And then I wonder, how do we know this protocol even works? I guess I'm also too new to know what your guidelines are for posting protocols, so I'll take a look.

::{{ping|Scrofula}} No worries Scrofula! The more I think about this the more I find it fairly unlikely that the garlic-cyanogenic glycosides part actually has scientific validity. I have done an internet search which seems to suggest this is more drug-folklore and placebo-based. If anything, I think just performing the basic extraction itself and the seemingly large range in natural variations in one's response to LSA could just as easily account for the nausea reduction. Personally, I am not in the mood to run any experiments to confirm either way so I am thinking of just reformatting the guide so that it mentions the garlic part as an option that some claim helps. If you have any other ideas or can find evidence that supports either case, please do let me know. [[User:Clarity|Clarity]] ([[User talk:Clarity|talk]]) 06:07, 11 June 2017 (CEST)
