Self-bodying action

Nonionic emulsifying wax is used as an emulsifying agent in the production of oil-in-water emulsions that are unaffected by moderate concentrations of electrolytes and are stable over a wide pH range. The concentration of wax used alters the consistency of a product owing to its self-bodying action at concentrations up to about 5% a product is pourable.

In a paper on the self-bodying action of alkyltrimethylammonium bromide-cetostearyl alcohol mixed emulsifiers, Barry and Saunders [100] discuss the sequence of events in the preparation of liquid paraffin-in-water emulsions containing these components. The gel structure in the continuous phase is clearly responsible for the self-bodying. During mixing of a ternary system the... 

The regulatory process should be routinely and systematically monitored in order to identify problems in the process and determine whether the activities actually carried out are consistent with the intended course of action. Several approaches may be employed for assessing the performance of dmg regulatory authorities self-review, supervisory body review and peer review. These approaches can complement one another in appraising the performance of the DRA, as well as assisting it to identify areas for improvement.

The most constant internal experience in my salvinorin journeys is a drastic shift in my sense of identity and conscious perception. At the onset of the experience my identity is completely dislodged from my body and familiar self. Following this I experience myself as existing, but not as a body, human, or personality. I usually find myself in some alternate dimension, which can either closely resemble earth, or be entirely alien. Quite often the worlds visited under the influence of salvinorin do not obey the laws of physics which we are typically accustomed to. The action of the forces of gravity and momentum, the dimension of time, and the geometric construction of these worlds, can be rather bizarre. 

It is well known that orthodoxy uses mineral, and frequently poisonous drugs of both mineral and vegetable origin in the treatment of disease, as well as serums and vaccines extracted from the internal organs of diseased animals. Herbal theory holds that treatment by these means succeeds, at best, in masking symptoms, and is suppressive in its action, that is, suppressive of the attempts of nature to rid the body of that poisonous matter (frequently self-generated) which lies at the root of most forms of ill-health. To suppress symptoms is not to touch causes, and it is surely the removal of the causes of disease with which the true healer should be concerned.
