Microdosing, a term derived from the roots «micro-» (from Ancient Greek «μικρός» meaning «small») and «dose» (referring to a specified quantity of a substance), literally means 

«small dosing.» It is the practice of consuming sub-threshold quantities of a substance to achieve specific benefits without the pronounced effects that a full dose might induce. While

the concept applies to various compounds, it has garnered significant attention in relation to psychoactive substances like psychedelics. What is Drug-Free Microdosing? Conventional Compound Microdosing uses small amounts of psychedelic compounds to trigger gentle levels of positive, adaptive neuroplastic change in the brain. Drug-Free Microdosing acts to achieve the same positive results but uses uniquely crafted Light and Sound as the trigger and guide for this same neuroplastic change in the brain.

1. The first is perhaps obvious. Drug-Free Microdosing does not require the use of a psychedelic compound for attractive benefits. Some users do choose to “stack” Drug-

Free Microdosing with a micro dose of a psychedelic compound with the perspective that they enhance each other.

2. Drug-Free Microdosing offers 9 different “themes” that help drive and support the gentle brain changes. This is a huge advantage when compared to Conventional Compound Microdosing which relies almost entirely on mental intention as the driver of neurological change.

3. Drug-Free Microdosing has four popular protocols built into the software of the App that give you daily guidance in the process.

4. Drug-Free Microdosing does not rely on compounds that are illegal in most societies while also not risking unknown sources or questionable quality of compounds.

5. The luxurious Drug-Free Microdosing session experiences are richly satisfying while providing regular motivation and high levels of compliance.

6. Conventional Compound Microdosing uses a compound on the “Dose Day” and has no additional “reinforcement” or “integration” on the other Transition Day or Normal Day.

Drug-Free Microdosing uses attractive dynamic light/sound experiences for each Dose, Transition and Normal Days.

Yes, if that is your choice. This combination is a form of “stacking”. “Stacking” is an approach to microdosing in which more than one form of neuroplastic stimulation is used simultaneously. “Stacking” has a broad potential and is at its early stage of exploration and discovery.

Yes, and you might be surprised that it has existed for quite a while. The support comes from two related areas:

1. the Neuroplastic Capacity of our brain to change in positive ways when given the proper stimulation

2. Brain Priming which is the science of helping our brain change and perform more efficiently.

The most exciting and meaningful recent scientific discovery is that our adult brain can still change in positive ways. Given effective stimulation and support, we can not only make new connections, we can even grow new nerves in our brain despite the aging process. So, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

There are ways to help prepare our brain better when it comes to change and new learning. The ways can be bio-chemical (like a small dose of a psychedelic compound) or bio-physical 

(like crafted Light & Sound). Basically, Brain Priming has two steps: introduce the stimulation that gets our brain ready to act commence the new activity. We call this one-two process

Brain Prime / Brain Time.

Yes, the protocols are actually the same protocols used in Conventional Compound Microdosing. These protocols reflect the neurological dynamics that are common in general neuroplastic changes in our brain. We follow the dynamics of our brain because that’s where the changes happen.

There are four protocols, all of which are derived from the general and evolving Microdosing principles:

1. Fadiman Protocol which is the first perhaps the best known

2. Stamets Stacking Protocol which is more complex and assertive;

3. Microdose Institute Protocol which roughly in between the two above;

4. Two Day Fixed Protocol which is, respectfully, Microdosing for Dummies.

The protocols all permit some range of time and commitment. In general, the advice is to microdose regularly following the protocol for 4 to 8 weeks followed by 2 to 4 weeks of rest with no microdosing.

The Fixed Weekly Protocol is the simplest approach to microdosing because the start of the dosing cycle always occurs on the same two fixed days of the week. It’s advised to select two separate days in the week, preferably not consecutive days, like Wednesday and Sunday, for better compliance and effectiveness. Remembering these two days helps in ensuring adherence to the protocol. While there’s no solid agreement on which Protocol is best in terms of results, everyone can agree that consistently following a Protocol is

more important than any theory alone.

Yes, you can switch but use common sense when you switch. Jumping from one protocol repeatedly will not yield the best results.It is understandable that you may want to explore the different protocols and if so, do your best to give any one protocol a chance. For sure, each protocol has its own unique characteristics. Practicality and ease of use is itself a powerful factor.

Yes, it is safe based on 50 years of industry experience in the use of eyes-closed flickering light and pulsed sound. The exception is persons with seizure disorders who should avoid

any flicker or pulsed signal device. Drug-Free Microdosing is completely under your control. You can adjust the general level of brightness and volume according to your liking. You can turn in “on” and “off” any time and for any reason.

Yes, Drug-Free Microdosing is legal since it does not involve the use of any illegal substances. The technology used in Drug-Free Microdosing primarily relies on flickering lights and pulsed sound which are considered safe and non-invasive.

Choose a time that is convenient for your daily schedule. It is better to do the session at approximately the same time every day but it is not mandatory.

If you miss a session one day, simply jump back into the protocol the next day as if you had not missed the session.

In general, try to achieve the most while doing the least. There is no actual “rule” as to what can or cannot be combined. Perhaps comparing it to body exercise would help. If you are

working on regular stretching for flexibility, including some simple cardio could be fine but simultaneously doing strength training with flexibility can get very complicated. Doing other NeuroVizr® sessions from the other Collections will be most compatible if the purpose or “theme” of these sessions align more or less with the Theme you have chosen in the Drug-Free Microdosing Collection.

There is a significant difference in the core design principles used in these other Collections The Drug-Free Microdosing sessions combine the light/sound signaling that drive the

Theme of the session with the special type of light/sound signaling that acts at different levels of neuroplastic demand. The neuroplastic demand factor relates to the level of the

stressing challenge that is at the heart of the microdosing effects.

Remain mindful of the specific Theme you have chosen. Positive intention supported by credible psychological techniques such as repeating affirmations or even keeping a journal can help to reinforce the neuroplastic processes of change that are characteristic of microdosing whether it is Conventional Compound Microdosing or Drug-Free Microdosing.

As compared to full dose psychedelics, “set & setting” have a much smaller role in microdosing. Remaining aware of your general psycho-emotional state can help you identify

disruptive influences. Life-style in general including proper sleep habits, nutrition and exercise will certainly contribute to Drug-Free Microdosing experience.
