New study: Magic Mushrooms Repair Brain Damage From Extreme Trauma * 1
    #19311935 - 12/22/13 01:33 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

http://livefreelivenatural.com/new-study-magic-mushrooms-repair-brain-damage-extreme-trauma/

A new study by The University of South Florida has found that low doses of the active ingredient in magic mushrooms repairs brain damage caused by extreme trauma, offering renewed hope to millions of sufferers of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

The study confirms previous research by Imperial College London, that psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound present in “shrooms”, stimulates new brain cell growth and erases frightening memories. Mice conditioned to fear electric shock when hearing a noise associated with the shock “simply lost their fear”, says Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos, who co-authored the study. A low dose of psilocybin led them to overcome “fear conditioning” and the freeze response associated with it faster than the group of mice on Ketanserin (a drug that counteracts the receptor that binds psilocybin in the brain) and a control group on saline.

An estimated 5 percent of Americans – more than 13 million people – have PTSD at any given time, according to the PTSD Alliance. The condition more often associated with combat veterans, is twice as likely to develop in women because they tend to experience interpersonal violence (such as domestic violence, rape and abuse) more often than men.

PTSD is not just psychological. Common symptoms, such as hyper-vigilance, memory fragmentation, flashbacks, dissociation, nightmares and fight or flight responses to ‘triggers’, are generally thought to be psychological and therefore treatable by learning to change thought processes. But new research suggests that they may in fact be the result of long term physiological mutations to the brain.

In the South Florida University study, the mice treated with low doses of psilocybin grew healthy new brain cells and their overactive medial prefrontal cortex regions (common in PTSD sufferers) were restored to normal functionality.

Further independent studies (www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com) have shown that the hippocampus part of the brain is damaged by extreme stress and that this is specific to PTSD and not associated with anxiety or panic disorders.

Dr. Sanchez-Ramos acknowledged that there was no way of knowing whether the mice in the experiment experienced altered states of consciousness or hallucinations – commonly experienced with magic mushrooms, but he believed the doses were too low to cause psychoactive effects.

Decriminalisation of psilocybin could help millions

Previous studies have shown that low doses of psilocybin produce no consciousness state altering effects. Administered in the correct amount, psilocybin could therefore be assumed to safely treat PTSD with minimal risk of adverse side effects. Magic mushrooms could help millions recover from the debilitating cycles of fight and flight and other conditioned biological responses caused by extreme trauma, if only they weren’t listed as a dangerous Schedule 1 drug with no medical benefits.

Meanwhile, doctors are authorised to dispense powerful, side-effect laden pharmaceutical drugs to army vets and others suffering from the symptoms of PTSD without any evidence that these treatments actually work, according to a major review by the committee of theInstitute of Medicine on the topic.

The situation is so bad that an average of 18 American veterans commits suicide every day (www.naturalnews.com), linked to the sharp rise in prescription drugs, depression, and other psychological conditions. Safe, natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals such as homeopathic and herbal remedies have been found to alleviate symptoms (www.naturalnews.com). Meditation has also been shown to reduce high activity levels in the amygdala (the brain’s emotional centre) experienced in PTSD sufferers as anxiety, stress and phobias.

psychedelics in general heal people. this includes but is not limited to: LSD, shrooms, mdma, 2c-c, nbomes, dox chemicals, other ergoloid derivatives.

all psychedelics have the power to heal a damaged psyche, but it depends on the user, set and setting.

i think the greatest medicine is being able to place yourself in, or induce a state of euphoria and laughter while instilling a sense of grand wonder and deeply moving experience. many psychedelics have given this to me, personally, and i think that theses states of consciousness are extremely beneficial to people.

i will note though, the notion that psilocybin helps people with trauma and ptsd seemingly goes against the unwritten rule that you have to make sure you are in the right state of mind to take it.

My wife has textbook PTSD and this is very interesting to me. She has tried mushrooms before but not like I have. I think her and I should explore this further together and see if her flashback symptoms can be alleviated even in the slightest. It would be a world of good news for her!!!

The notion of being in the right mindset to take a psychedelic really doesn't mean you have to have everything be perfect in your life before you trip.  I think that consciously taking a psychedelic with the mindset of seeking a healing experience due to underlying psychological issues, given also the support of someone who is interested in your having a healing experience, is a very good mindset to set out from.  Also these guys were supposedly using sub-psychoactive doses to elicit the brain healing results, so I think this doesn't apply anyway.

I have mushroom growing and use experience. Not too familiar with this MDMA yet. Can this be "grown"? Is this the same thing that Miley Cyrus have been praising about as "Molly"?

can psychological damage be considered "brain damage"? Brain damage as in getting in a car accident, a sport (boxing, football, etc.). The "brain damage" PTSD sufferers seem to be more "psychological" rather than "physical" brain damage (i.e. these soldiers were under stress during war, plus getting yelled at by those douchey sergeants is of no help. I've been in a military household where verbal as well as physical abuse is common, which leads to "psychological damage". I've been in a car accident, got a concussion, had stitches and scarred up my head yet I don't have "brain damage" that I know about.

MDMA is neurotoxic. Perhaps a trip or two with it is beneficial to your psychological health, but MDMA is definitely not beneficial in the way that it is consumed in recreational drug culture.

I read about ketamine as well being good for psychological disorders. I'm not familiar with its "recreational use" as it is a veterinary drug. Not sure about "potheads" using vet drugs like that.

Absolutely fascinating, yet another helpful natural substance I'm sure Big Pharma will never allow to see the light of day.
