Allopurinol and potassium

Suppressing the monthly cycle would also suppress hormonal secretion, inhibiting normal secondary sexual characteristics from developing.
That still doesn't explain the underdevelopment of the males. The author points out numerous times the smallness or scrawiness of the boys Talla serviced, despite their engagement in full-time manual labor.
Perhaps they have a potassium nitrate, (saltpeter), containing herb, as well?
The Temple women are meddling with more than first appearances would suggest.

I actually have an MD in Chemistry, and I was hooked in by your imagination, not by the erotic scenes, which, forgive me, are what some are fixated on. I'm quite leery in the way you presented the potassium chlorinate, and the meth's reaction to each other, but you've hit what the chemicals does to the human brain quite well. As for the cocaine, well, you've got an active imagination for using it that way. All in all, forgive me for saying this, but, I love this story, not because of its erotic content, but for it's curious plot. Congratulations to you.

I have a disability that leaves me literally unable to move a muscle, and was dying from magnesium and potassium deficiency in my cells until recently. So I have no choice and little predictive power over total paralysis and brief comas. I've explained it earlier. I'd appreciate it if you didn't smear my character as untrustworthy.
I'd hate to lose any reader, but if you don't think its worth the wait, it's not hurtful. There are plenty of writers on this site who don't have a severe illness, twins to rear and grad school to interfere with real life here on Lit. They're probably more your cup of tea.

Hey WW
While the IC waits to learn what you’ll have him up to next, I have a few chemistry funnies for him.
1) What is a chemist’s favorite dog breed?
A Laboratory Retriever.
2) What do you call a clown in prison?
A Silicon.
3) what did Martha the ME say when asked if she wanted to hear a Potassium joke?
“K”
4) Asked if he new any short Sodium jokes, Sheriff Griz replied:
“Na.”
5) So, what do ya do with a sick Chemist?
Either Helium, Curium or Barium
6) When asked what to do if no one was laughing at Don’s lame Chemistry jokes,
Laura rolled her eyes and said “just keep telling em until you get a Reaction…”
I got a bunch more if ya need em…🙄
Keep up the good work!!

It impresses me that you write so much, and I already shared that because I can't remember a time where your stories weren't at least six pages. The general issue is most writers starting out have trouble getting past 3000 -5000 words, which makes it to about two Lit pages--meaning they typically leave out many critical details and fail to flesh out their characters. You don't suffer from this and that is to your credit. Another plus in your writing is I don't notice maybe more than two grammatical errors in the entire narrative, and you understand punctuation very well; feel proud of that too, because I lose count of the number of times that I read a new writer's story here where I don't notice either terrible punctuation or multitudinous grammatical errors--and sometimes it's a ton of both (sometimes in seasoned writers here with 75+ stories).

The overwhelming item you must immediately solve presents itself in unneeded repetitions of adjectives and story details, also combined with making sure you group all logical details into the same paragraphs and space. For example, once you introduced the readers to her kicking Ethan out of her life, we still end up reading about Ethan far later into the account where he shouldn't be. This rears its ugly head in the very out-of-place text that Ethan sends after a few months according to the account. If she removed all his stuff and sold it to pawn shops as soon as she could, why did she not immediately block his number? Readers will understand and expect no more than maybe two passing comparisons to Ethan once she is supposed to have expunged him from her life. So assuming you were to regroup all elements like this and start using a find and replace after you've written your story, you're going to see how many times you repeat some of the same adjectives and even some of the same phrases, and you'll need to start using a thesaurus to vary those, because the worst thing that can happen is for readers to stumble over the same word ad infinitum. This particularly manifests itself poorly once Cassie and Jordan start dating and especially once they have sex. We already know this is an Interracial Love story, so to keep emphasizing the black and white makes it seem--however unintentional it may be--that you are trying to maintain the divide and make race an issue when it should not be. When you start talking about Cassie talking about him, you drop the black as many times as you can afford to which turns out to be a lot. Concentrate on him being a good man and being different--and ensuring that you shine a light on all his positive qualities and the things that distinguish him from all others. Remember that at the end of the day, he is a man and she is a woman and we don't need to be reminded about their skin color after they both notice. It's understandable if you want to include differences in scent, hair or skin contrasts, but also leave those at a minimum. In other words, the best stories in this category should strive to show the best of each of them and where necessary, highlight the differences and how they bridge those gaps.

There are also a few misconceptions presented that definitely contribute to knocking off that star: one is how she got Ethan out; second is how the narrative mentioned how sore she got; the third involves a common misconception about female anatomy. In the first case, it mentioned she felt more sore day after day, which means (whether you knew this or not) that she failed in properly hydrating herself and should have given herself a kidney stone by that description. Most people are completely ignorant of the fact that the body switches fueling systems after 30 minutes of sustained workout activity--especially where the humidity is high--and that is very common in every gym I've been in. That means every person working out longer than this must consume an electrolyte-replacing drink like Gatorade, and usually around 24 oz, sipping it as they go. If the exhaust that, then they can drink water the rest of the time. Without doing this, probabilities are high the person will give oneself a potassium kidney stone because the body will have to pull potassium from other areas to replace what it's losing; it also requires a person finish their workout with 8 oz of regular chocolate milk or something equivalent (minimum of 250 mg potassium), because it is the perfectly-balanced drink between potassium, carbohydrates, and protein to completely rebuild and finish off the workout so the person feels no soreness afterward (I got help with that on a regimen, following ever since and I have NEVER been sore--and yes--I gave myself a potassium kidney stone after just THREE days although I consumed 96-128 ounces of water). Additionally, to build the credibility behind the workout, she should have solicited Jordan to compose some kind of workout routine, as this idea got dropped. Moreover, she would not get stronger after just one week like the account states, as it's going to take two weeks when one first starts a routine to notice the improvement and being able to increase the weight and/or add another set of reps, and then it will alternate between 1 -2 weeks with a proper training regimen and proper rest and hydration. The final matter deals with the fact that if Jordan truly hit her cervix repeatedly, it would have bruised it and likely made her very sore or even caused her back pain. Moreover, no penis can penetrate the cervix, as this was said to have happened a few times. One detail that I nearly forgot to mention is another difficulty where this mentions she could have the cops throw Ethan out had he refused, and after looking that up, the procedure is exactly the same in CA as it is in TX: she would have had to go to court and start eviction proceedings, and he would have 30-45 days after he gets the papers to vacate--and only then could a sheriff or a Marshall forcibly remove him if he had not done so.

You wrote a very compelling story with very complete details about why Cassie moved to LA, why she wanted Ethan gone, and then how she tried to move on with her life and then move ahead with Jordan. I appreciate how you drew Jordan as a considerate and not creepy guy--although some of the details about him being good at his job we're kind of wasted because he works out for a living and he has to be good at it as well as be certified--to be a personal trainer at any gym. I even appreciated you throwing in the influencers, because this is a big sticking point on TikTok and YouTube especially if you check any of the Courtney Ryan videos regarding this where some of the influencers try to shame the trainers for coming over and helping. You even name a very human and important truth for anyone: that is that for any person to be completely fulfilled, they must be able to do certain things for themselves to be satisfied in life and happy. You drew the banter between Jordan and Cassie as very natural, and they fit together very well intellectually and personally.

Because of the aforementioned shortfalls, this story deserves a very solid 4. However to get to that 5, you will need to ensure all the elements pertaining to one subject are not unduly repeated and properly grouped in their logical order. Also, you will have to exercise some significant effort to reduce the very noticeable story element repetition of descriptors and phrases that do create speed bumps in the reading flow (grouping and eliminating repeats would have constituted one full Lit page). You are ahead of the learning curve here, and with using find and replace, I think you'll at least start reducing significant amounts of things quicker than you realize. 4

God damn give it a rest. Repeating the same fucking things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!!! STOP!!!!!
