Alzheimer’s patient just REGAINED her memory, speech, mobility, AND bladder control after a SINGLE dose of psilocybin.

Main Strengths

Highly efficient in acute emergencies, trauma care, complex surgeries, and managing severe infections.

Excels in preventive care, wellness optimization, and managing some chronic lifestyle conditions.

Each have a place in one's well being I personally believe.

Preventive care isn't a well advised option under Allopathic Medicine.
Though it is high on the list for Trauma, surgeries, severe infections.

When only looking at one side and discount the other through the lack of experience is only putting the blind fold on and trying to see.

So to the ones that totally are one sided in the viewpoint have you actually tried the other option.

There are many controlled studies using alternatives that are not "Peer" reviewed.
The question is why would they in the first place because it might undermine what they have been instructed to believe.

Where do the quoted references get their main funding from? Pharmaceutical giants are the bread basket for many medical based universities.

Here is an example of proof of what I just stated:

Per Capita Investment: International higher education assessments show that Johns Hopkins pulls in nearly $250,000 in private corporate funding per professor, with the majority of those private industry funds originating from the pharmaceutical sector.

So ask yourself the question this why would a professor talk about or endorse an alternative anything when they know who is buttering their slice of bread.

A case in point;

I once knew a "Doctor of Holistic medicine". He had a framed Doctorate degree hanging on the wall and a library of books with remedies. His favorite remedy was an orange drink, probably Tang orange drink or equivalent.

After ten years that I knew him, he developed diabetes. The diabetes developed further and his feet were amputated. Next, Medical Doctors diagnosed the progression of his diabetes and they said that required the amputation of both legs.

He declined the Doctors recommendation and died shortly there-after.

This probably happens thousands of times every day.

This is insane…

An advanced Alzheimer’s patient just REGAINED her memory, speech, mobility, AND bladder control after a SINGLE dose of psilocybin.

i WANT to believe this! the problem for me is how AI has tilted all the news.... I have noticed recently how i keep running into BS every time I search the simplest subject. Try asking questions about things you KNOW to be false. For me this has really kicked up in the past couple of weeks. The amount of AI "history" vids has EXPLODED! I don't trust these kinds of stories.... such a story like this one should be HUGE and on every network, every night for months.

Allopathic medicine and a second case;

A 73 year old US Marine Veteran (cigarette smoker) diagnosed with stage two lung cancer. He went to the VA Hospital for treatment. Over 4000 pages of diagnosis and stage three treatment ensued over a period of ten months. He went into hospice and died ten days later.

So what?

The difference is "documentation". The VA documentation covered all of the bases of diagnosis with detailed observations and treatment by doctors and nurses. This is a permanent record along with a million or more other records of diagnosis and treatment that develop into a "Body of knowledge". Cancer research and the future of medicine is only possible with a "Body of knowledge".

The alternate, holistic medicine, there is no record. Nothing.

Note: The US Marine Veteran was a friend and my latest flames' recently departed husband.

Proof? Here's proof:

Federal Regulators (FDA) require by law Pharmaceutical companies to undergo very extensive testing and a multiplicity of replication of testing (for repeatability and dosing) before release of pharmaceuticals to the market. It can and often does take Years! Who in the *ell is qualified to do that testing? First guess would be... the most advanced research professionals on the planet! They are the leaders in the most advanced testing and research institutions, laboratories and facilities in creation. At the very best universities known to mankind. That's who!

I recently (last night) did personal research on the process of gluten testing in food products! Not drugs but how is gluten measured? What is the "gluten free" test?

gluten analysis:

National Institutes of Health
National Library of Medicine
National Center for Biotechnology Information

"Analyzing Gluten Content in Various Food Products Using Different Types of ELISA Test Kits"

Analyzing Gluten Content in Various Food Products Using Different Types of ELISA Test Kits - PMC

Gluten is an insoluble protein produced when glutelins and prolamins, which are found in grains such as wheat, barley, and oats, combine to form an elastic thin film. This dietary gluten can cause severe contraction of the intestinal mucous membrane ...

Push the AI reporting to the front where a lot more people can read it firsthand for what it is.

 

[geowizard]

I would share an important note...

We are thinkers! Thinking and learning are the most important things we do. Learn to be a "critical thinker". Critical Thinking is a learned skill. It is required in many if not most colleges, universities and places of higher learning. Thinkers and readers of content need to evaluate the content and... learn the skills to filter out content without "foundation" before adding new content to your knowledge base.

It ain't easy either. With the advent of AI, all content, good and evil gets equal treatment. AI has the potential to not only corrupt education but destroy the foundations of learning.

I think we have realized a large number of DISCREDITED doctors and scientist over the last ten years have been CREDIBLE. Their major problems were their solutions would have taken a large profit away from major companies and institutions who only try to maintain patients not cure patients.

The last time I tried it, the tracers and visions started, then the couch I was on stood up on the end and started swirling around as I was clinging to it to try to hold on. I couldn't and was "tossed onto the floor".
All I can say after the experience I was at ease for months reflecting on the phenomenon.

But you still remember it all so it did work for your memory!!

Remembering the experience does have an effect on the mind. This could be a problem for the Alzheimer patient.
Perhaps like a new jump start will have a positive effect?

Whole lot of AI happening around here.

We have some zombies walking our town streets who’s condition is attributed to very bad Acid trips and or too much traveling. Guess that’s an upgrade to being bed ridden and reliant on care 24/7

AI Reads Brain Scan Sequences to Spot Alzheimer’s With New Hybrid Model

October 5, 2026in Health

https://bioengineer.org/ai-reads-brain-scan-sequences-to-spot-alzheimers-with-new-hybrid-model/

Now a team of researchers in India has built an artificial intelligence system that reads brain MRI scans the way a radiologist reads them — not as isolated pictures, but as a sequence of slices forming a three-dimensional whole — and uses that richer view to sort patients into healthy, mildly impaired, and Alzheimer’s categories with striking accuracy. The study, published in BMC Medical Imaging, reports an overall classification accuracy of 88 percent and an average area under the ROC curve of 0.946, performance that places the approach among the more competitive deep learning pipelines reported for this task.

actually That Works Both Ways with Those That Have been Told all Their Life That psilocybin Will Kill Ya , by Parents , Politicians & Police Who Never Even Seen it Let Alone Tried it, Will Be Hard Pressed To Convince

It's The Cannabis thing all over again

Of course I Can Believe the Memory & Speech as It's a Brain Thing

The Mobility & Bladder Control Seem Very odd if true.
I Don't see How It can Improve Muscles

The functioning of all parts of the brain is critical for Mobility and Bladder control.
Correct muscles need to be used enough for best functioning however that can be corrected with a building up process to get back to normal levels.

Some of the Indian tribes have used mushrooms for a long time (hundreds of years of use) for different medical or health issues.
Perhaps the Indians also used the cold water and a slap in the face as well.

 

[AstralDruid]

The reason that psychedelics and natural substances are discredited is two fold.

Firstly a naturally occurring substance cannot be patent material, therefore ownership cannot be claimed by any company that has taken time to develop/test/validate and bring a product to market, inability to claim ownership leads to immediate 'generic' status and any other interested party can produce the same product. Bringing a new product to market is an extremely long and expensive process, so natural products like psilo are left out of the picture altogether and any evidence supporting claims is easily discredited by 'experts' representing companies that have developed a synthetic product for that same function, and i include the FDA and EU counterparts in that list of 'naysayers'... Myself and my wife have been involved in the process of bringing new products to the market in pharma since the early 90s, for some of the biggest of the 'big pharma' cartel... She still is actually. Think of the 'studies being done, think of where the funding comes from for these studies, including university labs, think of the taxation of the products that are approved, think of the 'lobbying power' of very large and rich companies..... now we are starting to see that 'the experts' are expert in manipulation and have no interest in a commonly found substance replacing or opposing the 'system approved' versions, that produce enormous wealth , taxation and power. This is the reality of the current system.

Secondly, the evidence of any health benefit from the use of natural substances, of a mind expanding variety, is contrary to the system of control and limitation that currently governs us, globally. A mass rejection of pharma products and involvement with substances that offer liberation from systems of control and manipulation (yes by experts) is not on any master's 'to do' list.. Not a bucketlister

So we have the current system, where many many people know what potential lies within certain substances, through alternative research and personal experiences,, but there are many many many more people who cannot accept and are unwilling to ever try, but they have the 'experts' on their side, so they tend to SHOUT louder, through panic and conditions relating to social system piety.. keyboard Karens..
They also tend to link articles and papers, studies and tests conducted by others in the controlled system, this is bamboozling,,,. Tendencies to excitedly 'debunk' (whatever that is supposed to mean) anything that is contrary to their objectives, is another sign of the conformity condition.

It was mentioned by another poster in an earlier comment, RobertK i think,, that 'experts' should be treated with caution from about 2020 onwards.. that journey of caution and questioning started for me in the late 90s
The game is rigged, and not in our favour.

Although I agree for the most-part;

However, history is replete with well documented examples of big pharma searching the globe for drugs being used by native groups.

The way it works is that certain plants are found to have a medicinal effect on humans. Pharmaceutical companies are scouting the globe even today for organic medication known to have beneficial effects. Plant life provides an abundance of organic compounds, both good and bad. That's not a news flash!

When beneficial plants are discovered and taken to a laboratory, the work begins to isolate the specific organic compound(s) responsible. Scientists/organic chemists build a synthetic replicate of the desired compound! Compounds of elements range from simple to complex. Organic compounds are chains of atoms linked together to form all the the muscles, bones and fatty tissue that make us who and what we are! If there are any malfunctions, we can find remedies. From vitamins on up the list of complex compounds.

Drilling deeper, the subject gets down to "organic chemistry" and the reaction of organic compounds in the human body. We are an amazing living laboratory!

...all this kinda reminds me also of the nonsense with hemp restrictions.

 

[geowizard]

If we disagree on the rules, does that make the rules nonsense?

Two weeks ago, in the news:

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF13136

The feds have regulated hemp for several reasons since 1937 and continue to do so.

In spite of all the rumors, a rational mind would agree with the policy.

I grew up in the "flower child" generation. I can speak from both positions of an insider and an outsider on the subject. As an avid, outspoken proponent, after a full assessment of current events including the state level legalization experiment, there is no tangible evidence of social or medical benefit to be gained in the use of cannabis. Federal Legislation stands. We mortals on the ground can debate the issue!
