Please forward this to all Aussie product boards (and the site mods).
It's come to my attention that a number of the products sold in the Aussie section are being cut with sodium valproate (epilim). Now NORMALLY that isn't a problem - almost all pills need to contain some binder, and epilim is handy for ompressing into pill form. It also has very little negative impact upon most people.
However, there is a minority of people, like myself, whose bodies do not process the ammonia byproduct from sodium valporate, leading to a toxic reaction that is rapidly fatal even in small amounts (I was very lucky to survive an encephalic condition - fluid on the brain - as a consequence).
I don't expect folk to stop using it, as for most people it's a relatively safe means of cutting a drug, BUT it would take absolutely no effort to warn customers that sodium valproate is being used as a cutting and binding agent. Do you REALLY want an unavoidable death on your hands:? There's a very simply way around it - just let your clients know that you're using it as a cutting agent, and they can take some very easy steps to remove it prior to use.
Withholding this kind of info just ruins the credibility of the site a a whole, and quite unnecessarily at that. I know it's byer beware, and since then I've been (a) purchasing from other sources, and (b) conducting tests to detect the presence of sodium valproate in the compound. But I'd hate to see a wonderful site like this die because a few people are too lazy to list the binding ingredient, especially when it is so simply to list. In a worst case scenario, you could even leave the product whole and let the end-user dissolve it if and when the need arises.

Please don't jeapordise the site's reputation by an easily avoidable piece of laziness.
Many thanks in advance, and let's see this site grow as a SAFE portal for all things recreational.

Wow, that's shitty for those with these allergies.
Good to put this out there, but I expect not many vendors press their own pills, or know what the binder being used is.
I would say, whatever pills you're ordering, inform the vendor directly of your allergy, and ask them if they know what binders are being used. If they are unsure, or verify the presence of SV, don't order.
I'm sure you're already doing this to an extent, just don't take any chances.
