Picking up where this left off:

As of now I have not thought of anything to add to my famous CIEIR Potion. An idea that I've invested so much into that I even made a small playlist of songs that is a fictionalized account of how it was made, within the CIEIR Lore.

But to recap, the formula I am currently using is Green Tea (Until I get some white tea again) for weight loss and natural stimulation. Chlorophyll for detox and killing addiction. Peppermint tea to lower stress. Gatorade Mix for flavoring and rehydration.

Because it seems to work out pretty well especially considering the successful test I made when I was working. So I upped the dose.

Rather than 4 bags of green and 4 bags of peppermint I put 8 bags each. I advise people not to do this at home unless you really really

REALLLY!!

Know what you're doing.

And as you can see I was able to make enough to put in my container, a 1L glass bottle, a 500 ML Mason Jar and two standard beer/classic pop bottles. I'm doing it this way, because I was partially inspired by Legend of Zelda where there are different sized bottles for the amount of potions or drinks you can contain. But there's a reason why I made a stronger version of this. For you see I got inspired by work for this.

When using a gas powered Lawnmower for the first time since I was a kid, I noticed that the vibrations of the mower shaking my body. Specifically my arms and my core. As a result of say 4 to 6 hours of going house to house mowing lawns, toppled with sweating under the hot sun last June and May, caused a significant loss of weight. However not everyone has access to a lawnmower, so drinking this stuff and mowing lawns wouldn't be viable option.

Now if only there was some way to recreate that vibration at the comfort of my own home. Well a few days ago I found my answer:

This is an EMS Machine. EMS being short for Electrical Muscle Stimulator. Devices that send powerful electric shocks to the muscles to either build them up or relieve their pain. As you can see, there are two for my arms and one for my abdomen.

Now contrary to what people say such as "You're full of shit, this does not work. That's just stuff you bought from a crappy commercial." And most of the time, you'd be right. As this was cheap. I got it for $20 CAD in Walmart. However what those complaining fail to realize is that some of the customer complaints are from fat and lazy people that saw this as an alternative to exercise and quit when it became too much. In my case I used these before, I know they work and the only reason I didn't use them until now other than them being expensive at the time is because I was too lazy to replace the gel pads. Much like exercise, a device like this requires consistency. As long as you use it every day, properly, it should work.

That being said, exercising my muscles was just the tip of the iceberg for this.

Since last friday I've used this as well as used my formula as a recovery drink as well as some form of protein to feed the muscles. Be it meats, whey, pasta or cheese, to name a few.

The first day I only used the machine to get used to it again. Without drinking the potion. The next few days while drinking it, I've noticed a huge tight pain in my ab muscles. The universal sign that they are working. As I write this article it will have been 5 days since I did this. With last night restocking my formula. My guess is that the electricity in the EMS is not just stimulating my muscles but reacting to the formula as the Gatorade mix provides electrolytes and electrolytes both edible and inedible conduct electricity. But I could be wrong. That said, muscle pain doesn't lie and like the man says:

No Pain No Gain!!

My plan for stage 2 is simple. I'm gonna do every setting on that machine. One setting 3 times a day at varying intensity each week, then recover. Right now I'm on setting 1.

Also while this was inspired by the effects of a lawnmower, I noticed the parallels between this and the story of Captain America:

The EMS are my vita rays. That said, this is merely what I'm doing. I'm pretty sure there are others, who could have the same effect of just plain old fashioned exercise or good old manual labor.

That said, this has stage two of my small crazy idea. I just drank my potion not too long after I wrote this and since I feel too sore to type, needless to say it's working.

Though with the pain I'm feeling it reminds me of this scene:

Although this seemed like a hybrid between EMS and Acupuncture.
