Chiller's Journey ~ Removing drugs from my life
A few weeks ago I started an experiment. I stopped drinking coffee, because of the negative effects that caffeine has on the pineal gland, and I'm beginning to realize that it is a much stronger drug than I was aware of.
There seems to be no regular sleep for me anymore. Now I sometimes sleep three times a day. Of course, not as long as I would do in one set. Sometimes I wake up after one or two hours sleep, fully awake and ready to work. Time becomes completely irrelevant for me and there are days where I stand up at midnight or even later. That might not only come from avoiding coffee, but I never experienced something like this in my life for such a long period.
In the first week I had heavy headaches, maybe my body needed to adapt to the changes. They are now gone and I didn't change anything regarding to my daily intakes. Even if I don't sleep as long as before, I'm dreaming much more now and I'm really enjoying this.
Since healing my pineal gland is more important for me than any drug on earth, I will continue my caffeine-free journey. It became clear to me why many people can't think for themselves and why they aren't as creative as they could be. The daily drugs, which we don't name as such, are one of the major factors for that. Taking medicine on a daily basis without being sick is not the way to go.
There are a few other things, which have a major negative effect on the pineal gland, and some of the most popular ones are: Garlic, onions, alcohol and tobacco. Of course, they can also have a few benefits for the body, but they are all toxic and should not be used on a daily basis as long as not needed.
If I should become ill (which I wasn't for many years), maybe I will take some garlic and onions for curing myself, but I will no longer calcify my pineal gland just for fun or because of the good taste of food. There is a reason why animals don't eat them. The question always is if a food's downsides are outweighed by its potential for good.
We are not here to detox ourselves in full-time. We are here to enjoy life and create a better world for future generations. Truth hurts, but we need to start somewhere.
Thank you for supporting my work!
Positive thoughts create a positive world. It all begins with connecting our thoughts with emotions. What we focus on is what becomes powerful. We are the creators of our world.
Much love,
Super Bericht! Das Thema ist wirklich wichtig. Für jeden von uns.
Habe selbst auch von der 7. bis zur 9. Klasse viel zu viel Kaffe getrunken. Vor allem jeden Tag vor der Schule.
Irgendwann kam ich auf die Idee Kaffe einfach über die Sommerferien abzusetzen.
Mit der Hoffnung wieder aktiver, leistungsfähiger und weniger oft müde zu sein.
Und es hat funktioniert! Habe bestimmt ein ganzes Jahr keinen Kaffe getrunken.
Mittlerweile trinke ich alle paar Wochen mal einen. (hatte halt auch das Pech, dass mein Dad ziemlich starken - mit italienischer alter Kaffeemaschine - macht)
Habe mich in meiner Jugend auch viel bezüglich anderer psychoaktiver Stoffe beschäftigt. (Egal ob legal oder illegal) Und auch mit anderen Stoffen wie Nahrung (welche nicht psychoaktiv ist, trotzdem extrem wichtig) oder Ergänzung von Vitaminen etc pp.
Die richtige Aufklärung, bzw das richtige Wissen ist bei dem allen da A und O.
Es wird in unserer Gesellschaft leider zu oft Verallgemeinert, Verteufelt oder auch Verharmlost.
Wünsche dir weiterhin viel Kraft und lass dich nicht von deinem Weg abbringen!
Greets :)
Vielen Dank für deine Gedanken zu dem Thema! Das wichtigste ist, dass man bereit ist Dinge zu hinterfragen, die von den Menschen um einen herum (auch Medien) als normal betrachtet werden. Sonst lebt man im Prinzip im Autopilot-Modus und denkt eine Entschuldigung für sein eigenes Verhalten im Massenverhalten gefunden zu haben. Nach dem Motto: 'Die meisten machen das, also ist das gut und kann gar nicht so schlimm sein'.
Das schwierige ist, dass man, um den Autopiloten zu deaktivieren, eine funktionierende Zirbeldrüse (Pineal Gland) braucht, da man sonst nicht mal daran denken würde, dass es Sinn machen könnte, es einfach mal auszuprobieren. Schön zu hören auf jeden Fall, dass du es auch so geschafft hast und die Dinge dadurch wahrscheinlich aus einem anderen Blickwinkel betrachten kannst.
Super ausgedrückt!
Ich gehe diesen eigenen Weg schon seit ich denken kann und wurde viel zu oft ungerechtfertigt kritisiert..
Nur weil ich es eben anders angehe..
Aber was soll's.. Seitdem ich mich in Psychologie eingelesen habe, kann ich die Gegenseite ja nur noch umso besser verstehen (hatte schon immer riesige Empathie).
Und trotzdem möchte ich auch verstanden werden.
Im echten Leben ein einzelner Wolf, im Internet immer auf der Suche nach ähnlich anders Denkenden. :)
I like coffee, and I thought about stopping consuming coffee, after reading this article, it would certainly give me new insights and a new perspective on coffee consumption.
Coffee should be taken when needed, not a daily dose that must be met even if the body is not needed. Thank you for this information and new insights.
I hope I can follow your steps.
An excellent decision, congratulations.
Yes, caffeine blocks the melatonin production for at least ten hours after the coffee intake.
I am aware of this too. I don't sleep enough. I should change this for the better. It just might be that your example will push me in the right direction.
Danke!
I thought it was a job requirement for developers to drink ridiculous amounts of coffee :-) !
Are you still going to be able to update SteemWorld??
I thought the same, but I also never thought much about why it's a common thing to drink coffee. We seem to ignore imbalances in the human body/mind and instead of finding a better solution we just turn humans into non-questioning robots.
Of course, the next update for SteemWorld will come as always ;)
Lieber Steemchiller,
ich habe die vergangenen Wochen gefastet, darunter auch Koffein. Ich war nie die große Kaffeetrinkerin, morgens eine Tasse mit viel Milch und vielleicht nachmittags noch mal eine. Dennoch scheint diese - meiner Meinung nach - doch eher begrenzte Dosis gereicht zu haben, um mir gewissermaßen das Hirn zu vernebeln und das in einer besonders miesen Art: Seitdem ich kein Koffein mehr zu mir nehme, haben meine Migräneattacken aufgehört. Ein deutlicheres Zeichen braucht es wohl nicht. Daher bin ich ganz bei dir und deiner Entscheidung! Hat es einen konkreten Grund, dass du deine Zirbeldrüse heilen lässt oder "nur so"?
Falls dir in der kalten Jahreszeit mal irgendwann die Lust auf Tee ausgeht, kann ich dir wärmstens Getreidekaffee empfehlen. Den von Bambu trinke ich am liebsten, es gibt aber natürlich auch günstigeren, der ist dann jedoch leider von Nestlé.
Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag und einen erholten Start in die neue Woche!
It is good time to return into the mother nature to heal ourselves and indeed the nature has provided us with natural remedies. I had this kind of this a few weeks ago. My sleeping time is change dramatically, and of course I became not really productive. The natural remedies I took is making the tea from these ingredients:
2 cm of ginger
2 cm of cinnamon
1 spoon of coriander
1 pc star seed
I boiled all those ingredient with 1,5 glass of water, and wait until the water remain 1 glass. and add some honey when I want to drink it. I hope it will help you too @steemchiller. and if you have time, it is good to visit @naturalmedicine steemit account to see more about natural remedies, so many friends there who are posting many kind of natural medicine. Wish you all the best
Coffee is also a natural medicine. That it's natural does not mean it's harmless. I don't think @steemchiller is looking for a new medicine to substitute the old one that he's trying to quit.
It depends what kind of Coffee! Don't spread misinformation 😁
If we are speaking about processed Coffee from mainstream industry, it is not healthy at all.
Actually, it significantly increases chances of getting a heartattack.
Organic, non-treated Coffee is the only way to go and sadly majority of population can't understand that.

... and vodka made from organic rye, triply-distilled in hand-made machinery by highly skilled hobbyists is probably more healthy than main-stream industrial vodka?
Depends how you consume it.

Coffee is actually healthy drink, but one thing need to be remembered, only the pure roasted bean serve as espresso will be able to reduce bad cholesterol. I love the coffee very much and I am selling the pure coffee bean (Arabica Specialty, Arabica Pie Berry, Arabica Long Berry, Robusta Special) from those 3 kinds of coffee will process differently there are some famous here are; Honey Coffee, wine coffee and Wine Strawberry, all those coffee bean I got from Gayo High Land Aceh Indonesia, I am living in Aceh where coffee is something everybody drinks every day, 3-4 cups a day is really normal for us. If you have ever heard "Luwak Coffee bean" that is the most expensive coffee we have. In the local market it will cost about $75 USD where the finest Arabica Specialty in the local market is only $10 USD. The Arabica Specialty in my place (Aceh Indonesia) is grown at 1300 - 1500 M Above Sea Level.
Excellent article!
I will just add that when I was doing research about fluoride earlier in the year, I discovered that it, too, calcifies the pineal gland. (I already avoid it because it competes with iodine in the thyroid - causing it to struggle to do its job in regulating metabolism.)
Oh, and keep up the awesome work on SteemWorld. I use it all the time.
Super Idee. Vielleicht sollte ich mir auch ein Beispiel nehmen und die 3-4 Tassen Kaffee (täglich 😐), die ich in mich hineinschütte,mal zur Gänze abstellen. Seit meinem Einstieg ins Berufsleben ist Kaffee mein täglicher Begleiter. Danke, dass du mich auf das aufmerksam gem8 hast.

Wow - good for you! It's super rewarding to sometimes experiment with our diet and see what results it gathers. Sometimes quitting isn't even what is making us 'realize', but the 'starting again' (eating the food after 4 months of not eating it) that makes you realize what the food did to the body. For me it was grains: I felt fine not eating it, but when I started to eat it again my stomach was... not happy at all.
Could you point me to an article maybe that explains the influence of coffee on the gland? I could search myself, but sometimes asking for a reference article is really needed to get to the article. If it was a gradual insight that's okay, then I'll start googling myself :-)
Cheers!
Very interesting that you bring attention to lack of dreams in relation to caffeine consumption.
I am a life long coffee addict, addict in general. I understand addiction. Substances like alcohol and coffee are pushed on society because they have a negative impact and a stunting effect on the subconscious and over soul. Sure, coffee does the job. It wakes us when we need a boost.
Have you ever smoked DMT?
I strive for and mostly fruit, but all herb diet, mostly vines and plant medicines.
Nevertheless, I've noticed a substantial difference in consciousness during offset lapses of coffee, mostly in the dream world.
Chill on...
