HISTORY OF THE MEDICINAL USE OF TOBACCO/NICOTINE

[Ninurta]

A lot information about this Ninurta , thanks .


It does seem as there has been roughly 500 years documented benefits of tobacco plant .  I did not take so seriously talks about smoking tobacco giving protection from covid, but i am now....

Seems like there is a cover up , about benefits . It`s been like that with many beneficial substances .....they even try banning stuff that may be beneficial so the medico-pharma-complex can sell their poison more .


I cant smoke personnally , not the types they sell ....i feel like my brain get toxicated from tobacco....it may be the added additives they been using in tobacco products for decades. Never tryed natural version like what Ninurta have . Never tryed nicotine products .

Just to be clear, nicotine IS an intoxicant.. The first use will certainly produce intoxicating effects from light-headedness up to powerful purging, depending on type and ingestion method. The first time I smoked, it made me extremely light-headed, intoxicated, but the first time I chewed moist snuff (Copenhagen brand, as I recall, although it may have been Skoal), it threw me for a loop - I couldn't rise above my hands and knees, was extremely "drunk", and finally puked until I thought even my toenails were going to come up.

Those effects moderated in subsequent uses, leaving only a steadiness of nerves, calmness of attitude, and heightened awareness, moderated fatigue and hunger. In other words, continued use moderates the ill effects, probably as a result of it's addictive qualities. 

To be fair, the preparation I used those first times were commercially prepared cigarettes and snuff, so additives may have been a factor, but with subsequent use in later years of more natural, home-made preparations, I think the only factor affected by using them was a reduction of the addictive properties - the rest are full-blown, and depend on the strength of the tobacco involved rather than any additives since there were no additives included in the home-made preparations.

I also used to make home-made chewing tobacco with commercial (nicotiana tabacum) tobacco, but straight out of the field rather than processed through a factory where the harmful additives are added in. I'd go out tot the curing barn and strip off a few leaves, then lay them out flat and slather molasses in between each one, laying on the next and more molasses smeared, then the next, and so on until I had about 5 leaves laid out, sandwiched together, and coated in molasses. Then I'd twist them, bend them over and twist the ends together as one would a rope, leaving a loop at the top of the twist, and hang them to dry and finish curing. The final result was drier than commercial chewing tobacco, but also probably less harmful. It was also a little more bitter than commercial chewing tobacco, which I presume was due to the lack of flavoring additives found in the commercial variety.

I've never tried making any chewing tobacco out of the rustica I grow, because I left off from chewing tobacco several years ago.

All in all, I'd not recommend using tobacco constantly, especially commercial tobacco, because of it's addictive properties. Constant use causes not only an addiction, but also a bodily tolerance such that greater and greater doses are necessary to realize most medicinal effects.

As the Bible recommends, "moderation in all things".

I would guess, without any data, that the use against covid is probably due to lethality - killing the virus where it is found in the lungs and nasal passages - combined with blocking nicotine receptors giving the virus that gets through less of a foothold to gain purchase on until it is finally eliminated from the body having had little or no effect at infection.
