I started making L. Reuteri "yogurt" using Oxiceutics MyReuteri as the initial starter. I use the first batch, which came out somewhat inconsistent, to culture subsequent batches. To do this, I poured it into ice cube trays and froze it. I made 56 1Tbsp ice cubes from that first batch.

The exact recipe I follow:
- 1 L. Reuteri Starter Ice Cube
- 1 Tbsp Organic Inulin Powder (from Jerusalem Artichoke)
- Just under 1 Quart Organic Half and Half [since the whole quart doesn't fit in my bowl]

I combine the above ingredients, mix until the inulin powder is mostly dissolved, then put it in my yogurt warmer at 99°F for 36 hours. The end result is a pleasant tasting, consistent "yogurt" that has made me vibrate at times after eating it. From each batch I get 8 servings.

I started eating one serving per day as the last meal of the day and after ~2 weeks, a rash that I had been dealing with for 5+ years finally went away! I've noticed that if I stop the yogurt and eat a bunch of junk food, it sometimes starts to come back, but as long as I keep the yogurt coming every so often and eat healthy foods, I don't notice it at all. I now eat maybe 2-3 servings per week, depending on the week. I add it to my smoothies mostly nowadays.

Regarding when I said it makes me vibrate at times, when I very first started making it, there were days where I ate little else but the yogurt, and I would literally be vibrating in my skin with a strong warmth radiating from my chest. I suspect that this was the result of an increase in oxytocin (as Dr. Davis mentions). The feeling was so incredible! Best thing I can compare it to is a Cannabis high, but without the head-change & mental haze layer.

I have heard a bunch of things saying that this recipe doesn't actually produce high volumes of L. Reuteri, according to user-submitted samples sent to labs for testing, but whether this is true or not, I've most certainly observed positive changes as a result of implementing this "yogurt" into my diet.

A family member started bringing me non-organic half and half (from Costco) because it costs half the price, but I do not notice the vibrancy from the non-organic stuff, and I don't feel like it is facilitating the benefits the same, though it looks and tastes nearly identical. Organic is the only way to go!

I like the idea of the project, but seeing as the value keeps dropping, people continue complaining that migrations aren't happening, KYC issues, etc., is it even worth my while to keep hitting the button anymore? It has become part of my day, not even really a thought at this point since it only takes seconds to do. I close the app before any ads display so that isn't really a bother.

Ultimately what it comes down to is this: Will my Pi ever be worth anything or has this project turned out to be a waste of time for everyone but the creators who surely can say it has been worth their while? I have just over 3,250 Pi locked up until 2029, so there isn't really anything I can do with it until then. Part of me wishes I would have sold back when it was valued at $0.69 each, but it was locked up then too. Not a whole lot of money but better than nothing, which is what I have to show for it currently. I renewed the lockup with the hopes that the value would eventually stabilize & be worth something, but so far it is looking like my efforts to support the ecosystem & get a higher mining rate are doing the opposite of what I had intended.

Will it ever reverse, or has this been a complete waste of time?
