I witnessed Selank help a former colleague with anxiety and panic attacks by lowering cortisol. He really swore by it and suggested I try it.

Unfortunately he is no longer in the country so I cant ask him for the details.

I have the exact same issues as him, especially with crazy high cortisol and always was very keen to try it asap but never had the money for it - until now!

I finally have been able to get a hold of one little bottle or vial of Selank!

• 1. So, I have a 10 mg vial. I am thinking about adding 2 mL of BAC water to get 5 mg per mL (500 mcg per 0.1 mL). Does that sound right? Or should I use more or less water?

• 2. Based on my body weight of 85 kg what should my dose be per injection? I see people say 250-500 mcg but that seems like it would hit everyone the same regardless of weight which doesnt make sense to me?

Should I aim for 3-5 mcg per kg which would put me around 250-425 mcg? Or higher? Or lower? And how do I know what is right for me?

• 3. How often should I dose? Daily? Every other day? A few times a week?

• 4. Do you have to cycle on and off always or can you use it long term too? And if so how long is too long? Does it lose effectiveness or do you grow a tolerance if you dont cycle?

• 5. How long should I cycle on and off? Two weeks on one week off? Longer? Shorter? What has actually worked for people?

Thanks so much in advance!🙏 😊

I’ve traveled with FlixBus quite a lot this summer throughout Europe. While most people on the buses have smelled nice or neutral, with the occasional over-perfumed or cigarette smell here and there (annoying but acceptable), there were two people who got on a direct bus to Berlin from where not important for the story with a direct bus line taking over 15 hours) and they smelled so awful I nearly vomited.

It was a man and a woman around 25 years old. They had the panorama seats. They didn’t look particularly dirty, apart from the girl having unkempt hair and the guy having long hair and a somewhat scruffy beard. They immediately brought out a sleeping bag and took off their shoes and socks. Even before that, though, they absolutely reeked of a combination of old sweat, mold, something rotten, maybe halitosis, maybe urine, and the smell of an old wet dog. Since it was a night bus, it wasn’t because of the heat. The air conditioning only made it worse by circulating the smell back to me on the fourth row. I swear that it really was something out of the ordinary and it smelled up the whole upper deck and everyone kept making gestures like pinching their nose and spraying deo in the air and even though everyone spoke in all kinds of languages it was clear that everyone was bothered by it and was talking about it.

They had nothing visibly dirty, no smelly food, and didn’t appear high or drunk. After a while they also started getting frisky with each other inside the sleeping bag.
I had a nasal congestion spray that I almost emptied, which blocked the smell temporarily, and I barely got through the night. Luckily they didn’t go the whole way, but it was still seven hours of absolute smell torture.

I wonder if there’s anything that can be done in a situation like this?

I mean, you couldn’t exactly go up to them and politely ask them to stop smelling, right?

And what would the driver even be able to do?
