Just some of the things I used to take, including a few I still do.
And that’s after decades of never having any at all. With hindsight I would have stuck to that.
I wont be giving any opinions but will just look for the most interesting stuff i can find in each.
You can decide for yourself if you like it or not. That seems fair to me. You are always welcome to give your opinions in the comment section as well, though I may not join in so much. A bit like a play where we all have different roles to play I guess.
I will start with something that is made for children as they are the most important thing we produce in our lives as far as I am concerned.
Unlike Karl’s incredible video of what appears to be Q dots in ivermectin, where he doesn’t name the brand and lets you decide if your supplier does or does not include (named as) titanium dioxide or not, I will show the brand but make no assessment of what I think the pictures show.
Having previously looked at all of these, I stopped taking most as I didn’t know how to reconcile what I saw in some with my perception of what they should look like...
Some of these companies have or may have been bought out by larger concerns since the date I purchased them, so I make no claim as to what they contain today. These larger concerns could actually have higher standards and testing, or something like more modern additives, I don’t know.
It seems a shame that at the time in history when we need more than ever to have 100% trust in the agencies responsible analyzing the contents of medications, supplements, food, water air, environment, clothing, soaps, make up and many other things, that for some strange reason this trust seems completely broken beyond repair for so many.
Being just an old bugger with a microscope (or 2) and a small audience of discerning persons seeking answers would appear to be pissing in the wind to a certain extent. However small the contribution, its all I have at present to give.

Below .A couple to test. And I forgot the most import accessory, the cleaning kit.
The black one in front of the wooden box is my favorite. Its the heaviest, The oldest (older than I and in better nick) and was sold to me as Grandfathers (a biology teacher) for $US20 last week, 1950’s. Good enough to ID morgs for sure. Prices ranged from free, $11, $15, $20, through to K’s. A few gifts for kids there to get them started. Essential skills for their future.
Below, A few pics from the bio mono scope got last week for $US100.
Just bright field with the aperture fully closed. Haven’t cleaned the lenses yet nor used a pro dark field patch. This scope is good enough for most people to see what they need to see with a couple of cheap mods.
The shading effect above, provided above by an expensive patch cut from Fresh Faggs box, below.
I will get good images from this scope and set it up for patched dark field time lapse, probably on cultures. Including a professional patch kit and the camera and mount, about $US 150 all up. That would probably be about as cheap as you could get something worth working with.
Just a teaser for a scope post.

Like you all I too have other things I would rather be doing. Fishing with the kids would be a good starter.
The “teach a man to fish” is a good analogy here and it would be more effective to spend my time encouraging everyone to get a scope and start contributing than doing this, so on that basis expect this to be a temporary activity. Plus I am not suicidal ( A New and Modern version of “Me Tooo”!).
In the picture above are some Kids gummies and I will take pics of them dissolved in distilled water and then isopropyl alcohol, that I have looked at first (boring). Perhaps they contain some slow release vitamins, that would make sense.
I wont bother with levels of magnification in all as I just don’t have the time to do it. I know it appears easy, but try taking 50 odd photos over a few hours to be able to select a few best ones, etc. Its a bigger task than most would imagine. I may be able to do one per day, but don’t promise anything here.
And this is without culturing, which all products need today to be really sure of what you are getting.
These are my main supplements now, for my mainly red meat and high fat diet.
the brand NOW has been compromised for a long time - thanks for the others. What a mind field...just assume anything we are using to dtox is contaminated. And no wine, esp red wine after 2019. As for Ivermectin - they are now allowing it, thus you can't trust it.
Hey! If anyone can get a vial of a gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) and put a few drops under a microscope and report back what you see and find in it, I’d be forever grateful!
