Is it against the Mormon word of wisdom to use Idosers.

If you havent heard of idosers they are like binural beats and some of them recreate drugs and since drugs are aginst the word of wisdom, are Idosers?

The Word of Wisdom is specific to a dietary code of health.

The only area where the Church may have an opinion on idosers is here:

Idosers, judging purely from what little I read on Wikipedia, may simulate certain effects on the mind and body, but it is not a physical drug.

However, if you are addicted to such an influence, like one may be addicted to pornography... then it is simply not good for your body and mind to indulge in this.

Clear as mud?

I had to google I-doser and binaural beats. I had never heard of them before. If you're using an I-doser to simulate a drug response, I'd question the motives behind it. If you're using it for relaxation, I would think it wouldn't be much different than using aromatic therapy or yoga. From what I've read, there's some controversy about it. So far, about the only thing proven it can do is relaxation.

I should use this as an excuse to stop getting out of bed in the morning.

IMO, it depends on the mindset going in, and the effect is somewhat limited. I used a couple of them to avoid about 80% of the prescribed Norco when I had an abscessed tooth, and they worked fairly well as a supplement to the real narcotic, with the bonus of no hot flashes or stomach upset. When I tried the same ones without any actual pharmaceuticals for a flare up of a shoulder injury, they didn't do anything but put me to sleep. (Fortunately, dulling the pain enough to sleep was what I was after anyway, but I didn't feel any lessening of the pain before dozing off.)

kinda of like a current scheduled-I, that's slowly being legalized.

Gee, I listen to things every day that alter my mental state. Generally angry customers calling me on the phone to blame me for their television not working.
