ROCKIN’ THE BOAT 92

FEATURED ARTICLE – Spiral Tribe

Spiral Tribe have been around for a while organizing free raves up and down the country, often at the festivals. They don’t promote their events at all, but have managed to pull up to 15,000 ravers at a time. The music’s hardcore techno all the way, and only stops when every one has gone home, on average 72 hours after the start. Spiral Tribe live by the ‘ Terra-Technic’, in synch with the pulse of the planet and the Universe. Their message is in the music, the music of the future, the music with a hard cutting edge. The costs are met by people giving their time and talents freely, anonymously. Just enough is made by passing the hat and selling refreshments, Any money over is turned into music, via The Spiral Tribe label.

Think of dancing in a field, under the stars, grass underfoot and no organisers, no security, no attitude, just thousands of like-minded people under the influence of the music, the strobes and the smoke.

The Roundhouse, The Old School House, Camberwell bus garage and Amsterdam are now in the past. The future holds Sound System City, the gathering of the Tribes for the Summer Solstice, and an event somewhere, somehow, every weekend.

SAFE AS HOUSE

FEATURED ARTICLE – Nutrition & Illicit Drugs

By Claire Henderson

As a raver, do you ever find yourself getting tired and snappy during the week and dreading the eventual end of the weekend come down? As well as a lack of sleep, all of the above can be attributed to a depletion of the vitamin and mineral content in your body, and the 3 neurotransmitters Serotonin, Dopamine and Noradrenaline, which create the high on drugs. Trytophan and Phenylalanine are both essential amino acids present in MDMA and ‘Ecstasy’. Phenylalinine is a chemical that transmits its signals between the nerve cells and the brain. In the body it is turned into Noradrenaline and

Dopamine, excitatory transmitters, which promote alertness and vitality.

What it can do for you? Reduce hunger, increase sexual interest, improve memory and mental alertness, alleviate depression.

Best natural sources – All protein rich foods, bread stuffing, soy products, cottage cheese, dry skimmed milk, almonds, peanuts, lima beans, pumpkin and sesame seeds.

Trytophan is used by the brain along with vitamin B6, Niacin (or Niacinamide) and magnesium to produce Serotonin.

Best natural sources – All protein rich foods, cottage cheese, milk, meat, fish, turkey, bananas, dried dates and peanuts. All vitamins and minerals are important, as they are our life blood enabling our bodies to function properly and protect against disease. As a raver, you must be getting a proper vitamin and mineral supplement, as most ravers not on supplements are continuously depleted of them, which in the long run could lead to premature balding, heart disease, lack of concentration, diminished resistance to cancer, memory loss and so on. Also it is possible that continuously low

Dopamine levels in the body can lead to Parkinsons disease. This is not scaremongering, it is reality. We all know at the end of the day that if you play, you pay. This doesn’t have to be the case if you take care of yourself – get enough sleep, take vitamins and minerals, eat well and drink loads of milk, vitamin C and water.

Recommended supplements. High potency vitamin and mineral (time release prefered) vitamin C, 1000mg with Bioflavonoids. vitamin E, 400IU (dry form). One of each with breakfast and again with evening meal (when necessary).

For the morning after (as well as the supplements above) L – Tryptophan (which comes in tablets of 250mg to 667mg strengths). It should be taken with juice or water, no milk or other protein. (Single doses exceeding 2grams are not recommended). Phenylalanine (available in 250 to 500mg tablets).

This should be taken between meals, but again with water or juice (no protein), but not if you are hypertensive or have a heart condition as it can raise blood pressure.

It should be noted however that supplements are not a substitute for food.
