Why I Decided To Take Nicotine

I’m not advocating for smoking and I honestly was hesitant about nicotine use at all….until I dug REAL DEEP and found out we’ve been lied to for centuries!!!!

On April 14, 1994 ceo of seven major tobacco corporations in the united states swear that nicotine isn’t addictive

Decades of Lies Show Tobacco Companies Can’t Be Trusted

READ THIS ARTICLE!

In 1994, CEOs of seven major tobacco companies testified under oath to the U.S. Congress that they did not believe nicotine to be addictive. Joseph Taddeo, then-President of U.S. Tobacco Company, told Congress: “I don’t believe that nicotine or our products are addictive.” The other six CEOs agreed.

By law, anything with nicotine must have a
“WARNING LABEL”

Several vegetables contain nicotine, so why aren’t we addicted to vegetables?
Coffee and Sugar are highly addictive….yet no warning label is on them….

10 Surprising Benefits Of Nicotine

Aging / Dementia / Alzheimer’s
The adult brain is no longer considered to be developing; rather, the aging brain experiences a gradual loss of neural circuits and synaptic plasticity that is associated with an age-dependent decline in cognitive function (Yankner et al., 2008). Clinical and preclinical data support a neuroprotective effect of nicotine during adulthood and senescence, preventing the onset of degenerative neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s dementia and Parkinson’s Disease (Ferrea and Winterer, 2009). Nicotine use in humans also positively influences learning, memory, and attention, and improves mood, stress regulation, and anxiety (Feldner et al., 2007; Foulds et al., 1996; Gehricke et al., 2007; Grobe et al., 1998; Marshall et al., 2008; Metcalfe et al., 2003; Xu et al., 2005).

Mold Treatment
nicotine caused a dose-dependent growth inhibition of a broad spectrum of our test organisms, some of which are known pathogens. Equally affected were both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and the fungal organism, Candida albicans.

Let’s Talk About COVID

Is the post-COVID-19 syndrome a severe impairment of acetylcholine-orchestrated neuromodulation that responds to nicotine administration?
Treating several individuals suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome with a nicotine patch application, we witnessed improvements ranging from immediate and substantial to complete remission in a matter of days.

Sales of tobacco and nicotine replacement therapy products, especially nicotine pouches, increased in Finland during the COVID-19 pandemic

Nicotine therapy for coronavirus?
Nicotine has been shown to be protective in a handful of other diseases, and laboratory studies suggest it may play a part in regulating an enzyme called ACE2, which is thought to be involved in COVID-19. The cell receptors that nicotine binds to are ones that SARS-CoV-2 is also thought to affect.
https://www.cebm.ox.ac.uk/news/views/nicotine-therapy-for-coronavirus-the-evidence-is-weak-and-contradictory

The NIH funded and published a study in May 2023 confirming that the venomous spike proteins of Sars-Cov-2 target alpha-7 nACHR receptors (not ACE2 receptors).
The SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein contains a neurotoxin-like region that has sequence similarities to the rabies virus and the HIV glycoproteins, as well as to snake neurotoxins, which interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes via this region.

Investigating Medicinal Nicotine to Prevent and Treat COVID-19
https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article/22/9/1669/5834599
Smoking has no therapeutic role. In contrast, medicinal nicotine is a Food and Drug Administration approved, inexpensive, over the counter, readily available therapy with a longstanding safety record including low addiction potential, and few contraindications. Given the observed lower rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection among individuals who smoke, the biological plausibility of medicinal nicotine to lower infection and mitigate disease severity, and the feasibility of using medicinal nicotine for individuals who do not smoke, medicinal nicotine should be rapidly examined for a role in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article/22/9/1669/5834599?login=false

Nicotine and cigarette smoke have been reported to decrease levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the putative receptor for SARS-CoV-2, in multiple organs.

If indeed nicotine lowers angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression, thereby denying viral particles entry into cells, then exogenous nicotine administration may reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection rates.

Nicotine may also modulate COVID-19 disease severity through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, inhibiting macrophage-driven hyperinflammation and platelet reactivity. Medicinal nicotine has been safely used for tobacco treatment in millions of patients for decades, including the acutely ill, and is currently under investigation in randomized controlled trials in nonsmokers to treat neurological conditions.

Low incidence of daily active tobacco smoking in patients with symptomatic COVID-19
https://www.qeios.com/read/WPP19W.3
Conclusions and relevance: Our cross sectional study in both COVID-19 out- and inpatients strongly suggests that daily smokers have a very much lower probability of developing symptomatic or severe SARS-CoV-2 infection as compared to the general population.

Nicotine influences a wide variety of cognitive functions such as attention, learning and memory (Yuan et al., 2015) and has been found to improve cognitive impairment in disease-induced cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), age-associated memory impairment, Schizophrenia, Stroke, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Levin et al., 2006).

Huge thank you to Dry Bryan Ardis who has been helping expose this and sharing publicly about nicotine and the misconceptions.

I highly suggest watching his 2 hour + long video HERE as he explains in-depth about what’s truly going on and why we have been deceived for centuries!

 

Safe Methods Of Use

(tobacco & chemical free)
I Personally Have Done

 

EFX Pouches

There’s NO Harmful Chemicals, No Metals, and No Preservatives

EFX vs. Other Brands

 

– EFX uses quality ingredients
– 3rd party tested for heavy metals, lead, and formaldehyde

*I do wan to tell you that these DO contain natural flavors from plant sources. I asked the owner and he confirmed. I want to always be transparent with my followers, so I do want to make that it’s clear these contain natural flavors of which I do stay away from…..however in this case, I personally used EFX myself since the benefits far outweighs the “natural flavors” aspect and from my knowledge, EFX do NOT contain formaldehyde, heavy metals, nickel, etc. like other brands do. So for me, this was an exception. I spoke with the owner of EFX multiple times over the phone and he explained that if they didn’t contain any natural flavors, nicotine on it’s own would not be tolerable or palatable which makes sense).

Again, I just want to make sure you know and are aware and be transparent with you in this case. And if you are one such as myself to not consume natural flavors, putting something in your mouth (again you do NOT swallow these!) with natural flavors for medicinal purposes such as long COVID or other severe issues like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, vision impairment, etc. seem like a no-brainer to try out.

From what I have heard, other competitive products have been found to have harmful chemicals & metals in their pouch, this includes: Formaldehyde, Ammonia, Chromium, Copper & Nickel!!!!!!

  • EFX contains 5 more pouches per can than others
  • More flavor & strength options (4mg, 8mg, 12mg, &16mg) appealing to all nicotine users where other brands, for example, only offer 3mg & 6mg
  • A flaw with competitors is the pouch feels like wet paper in your mouth, the flavor isn’t strong nor does the weak flavor last long.

“Organic” Patches

The Reason I state “organic” is that the company is transparent about their products, and though they are pesticide free, they cannot label the entire product as organic since the adhesive is synthetic (you really can’t get around that!).

I do like the options of using both the patches and the oral “suck-its” that you suck for 5 minutes. I think there are benefits of both. With the patch, heard it takes a bit longer to feel anything, however with the oral suck-it’s from EFX, you can feel it almost immediately and if you feel it’s too much, you can remove it from your mouth. I suppose you can also remove the patch from your body too, but I think it takes longer for it to cross the blood brain barrier and by that time, it’s already in your blood stream.

 

I do like wearing thee patch however I did try the EFX product first. I think it’s personal preference and you may prefer one over the other.

Most the studies are conducted with patches, however, that’s not to say the oral pouches don’t have the same benefit.

I’ve heard that now they are trying to make nicotine illegal / harder to obtain (prescription only) and/or put an almost double tax on nicotine products.

All that said, stock up for the future!

Each person will have different preferences, so it’s not for me to say which option is best for you.

Each person will be different – so if you are financially able, I suggest getting both and testing both method (but NOT at the same time!)
