The Noxsoma Chronicles [0083]
12-12-2025 … Day 23663 (Funky Friday Fam)
We got the first shipment of “stuff” to our new spot. Been here since March of this year, but spent so much time on the road it’s only been since November that we have been back and able to chill with no journeys on the calendar.
We don’t consider protein powder, “supplements” but maybe we should. They seem to be what humans are talking about when they say “supplements.” What We mean are capsules, vitamins, amino acids and stuff like that. We haven’t purchased anything in those categories all year. Well, not wholesale. We picked up some Vitamin C [never be without it] and Activated Charcoal [proven effectiveness] from the local pharmacy. We still have a lot of the other stuff left.
We have done “battle” in the past with the ignorant who echoed reports about “supplements” from off Broadway media that receive dinero from Big Pharmakia.
“Are the supplements in your cabinet doing you more harm than good? Details – “click here.” And then there’s the guy who prepped for the end of days. He’s got more powders and pills in his garage than The Vitamin Shoppe. Just add water. But. No water.
In the interest of incomplete honesty – some of those reports hit home. Did I ever mention that I am curious? That’s why I have so many supplements left over from years back. But supplements is like a catch-all term, like cash.
“I have a lot of cash in my pocket.”
Granted “cash” is a more focused example than “supplements.” Maybe Joe Soinso doesn’t consider coins as cash. Likewise he doesn’t consider “vitamins” [A thru K] as “supplements.” Even though they are (or were) actually called – “vitamin supplements.”
Without shifting to the etymology – “sup” means over – so supplements are supposed to give you an “over dose” [ha-ha]. They are supposed to boost up what you don’t get from foods.
“I would rather spend $100 on a year’s worth of supplements than $100 per pill of some narcotic.” Me.
That quote – assertion – aged well.
The reason We identified the Chicken Littles warning about supplements as “ignorant” is because they are. They don’t know what they are talking about. They are just reading copy.
But on well. Those podcasts are not for your boy anyway and I am not proselytizing about supps.
Just for the crack – and because it’s Friday and I scooped [pun intended] up some (whey) protein powder We are going to break down the supps I have taken and some that I still have in my quiver and some that I might sample in the future. This might go off somewhere, but if you do manage to read these you already know what to expect.
We will make a list of seven as usual. Not going to write a dissertation or chronicle of each category.
Vitamins. The letters. Did you know that “vita-min” means “Vital” [for life] “Minerals? The chronicle of Vitamin C is particularly interesting. Recently learned that Vitamin D is more of a “hormone.” But really, by now we are used to wildcat scientists [researchers] revising this stuff.
Amino Acids. At last count there were about 20? of them. [Look em up.] There are essentials and non-essentials. Your vessel can make some and others must come from food and still others from supps.
Spices. Yes you can get the spices that you put on your food in the form of a capsuled supplement. Literally – when you start taking those badboys you will get a result. Cayenne pepper is a great pre-workout vassal dilator.
Herbs & Mushrooms Ginseng, Lion’s Mane and such. I hesitate to mention some of these because I don’t know if they are herbs or barks, or shrooms. Some of these herbs-barks are stimulants which can help you out with your nocturnal exercises – if you get my drift.
Minerals. Zinc. Magnesium. So-called “cell salts.”
Resveritrol. This is an anti-aging supplement that comes from blueberry extract. It’s expensive. Maybe more expensive than it should be. There are a lot of studies done on it. Lots of hype. Does it work? Can't even tell you. I stopped taking it for a while. [No money] and I didn’t suddenly age like a vampire that didn’t get his plasma hit.
Oils. Omega 3, Krill, stuff like that. And then there is the miscellaneous category, or maybe some that I overlapped. [Just to keep it at seven. But you get the idea.]
So where was I?
Yes. What do they mean when they talk about “supplements?”
At the beginning of this year, or late last year, We decided that we were going to cull our collection and vastly reduce our intake. Not very keen to just dump them down the drain like some drunk going cold turkey. But I tell ya what – We have already cut back on taking what we have, so the attrition process is going very slowly.
2026 might prove to be a reset of sorts. The plan is to do a bit more study on the supplements we consider taking so we don’t overlap the results. We might not need Ginger Root capsules if we are putting actual ginger root in our shakes. Plus we have the powdered version too. Vitamins C & D are staples. We may circulate different types of mushrooms because they are good cleaners. Activated Charcoal is a good cleaner too, as mentioned earlier.
We’ve been meaning to update this in the show, but we are off on some other weird stuff there.
By the way – We are going to re-tool the Substack Channel. Give it an update and paint job. Noxsoma Life Camp was too big a bite to share here. Noxsoma will do. Everything – and more – NLC proposed to do the “Whirled” we are doing for this vessel, with stellar results. Humans don’t come for help until they are actually falling. Then what?
“Catch me I’m falling!”?
[Warning. Here we go.]
There are all these little idiosyncrasies about humans, like the previous example. I had my own “Catch me I’m falling moment.” It’s the same old story I tell again and again because I had to go there to get here. Despite friendly warnings that I was gaining weight. As in getting fat. I sloughed it off until I was 60 pounds overweight.
The journey back was indeed a “Hero’s Journey” – which is why we open the show the way we do. We are the hero on our journey and we walk it every day. We live it every day.
Wayne Dyer said he was a camel. A camel is an animal that starts the day on its knees and ends the day on its knees. Dyer was not only a self-help guru but a recovering alcoholic.
Your humble vagabond is not an alcoholic, but discipline is discipline. We make videos every day. What does that involve?
Every day – we – record. Edit. Dub. Edit more. Create abstract clips. Record spots. Positivity spots – promo spots – donation spots. We pinpoint every episode to run 11:11. We write a little (very little) something about it and we upload it. Then – if-when we get comments … we respond. We also walk wherever we are going [5 mile range] – cook our own dinner and clean up. We stay busy and active to keep sane. But that’s another story. It’s a strategy the humans do to keep whatever is coming for them – away. If you know what I’m saying.
A lot – far too many in my opinion – of humans have this self-destructive streak in them that they don’t “realize” until it’s too late to do anything about it.
You know what I mean. If you don’t, hit me up. [You’re lucky, too.]
Okay. Double twelves today. We had a great day. No time left for great day details. We are still vivid dreaming and getting the downloads from source. Nothing to be alarmed about. Humanity will make it to the end of this year. Just your luck. Gotta live another year of chaos. Ha ha. It’s a challenge Babe.
