At least I've been able to stay off the medically prescribed methotrexate or the biologics that my Rheumatologist has suggested.
Yeah I was on methotrexate for a while. Glad I'm not taking that shit anymore or any of the other drugs the Rheumatologist proscribed for me. They're all bad!

I forage my own mushrooms and have plenty of dried ps. ovoidiocystidiada. I may start a similar low dose program as you do. If you don't mind me asking, which autoimmune disease do you have and how do you rate your results from these dosages. Also, how long have been on said regimen.
If you don't feel safe airing things out here, you can me.
Thanks again for your information.
I have Psoriatic Arthritis, which as I understand it is very similar to RA. I've been working with the mushrooms for almost two years. It's taken me a while to figure out how best to work with them and it definitely takes a bit of time for the medicine to do its work (I've weaned myself off other medications a couple of times over a period of months). Here's a bit more detail on what I do.
First off I'm combining the mushrooms with a cannabis oil. I find the cannabis really helps me to stretch more deeply into the joints and tendons that are affected by the arthritis. I make the oil in a rice cooker on the 'keep warm' setting, lid off 4-5 grams of bud with a cup of olive oil, leave it for 24 hours. I just take the oil, no baking cookies or anything like that, that way I can get a precise dose. It's a bit variable depending on the strength of the weed but I usually take about teaspoon 2 hours before taking the mushrooms.
I take the mushrooms, between .6 to 1.2 grams dried. I find if I take more than that it can overwhelm my ability to focus on the yoga and meditation. I take the mushrooms with a ginger tea and lion's mane extract. Then I do yoga and meditate, lot's of very deep breathing.
I do yoga because it's something I've done for years and it helps with the day to day of the arthritis, but I think the main thing is dedicating the time that you have with the medicine to moving your body in a way that helps it to heal. This could be through all sorts of different practices but I would say definitely deepening my connection to the breath is an important aspect of how this regimen has helped me.
It's worth saying I see healing with these medicines as work. Sometimes it's hard work. Sometimes the work is beautiful. Sometimes I'd rather just do nothing than go to work, but I know how much it helps so I keep going back.
As is the case for our brothers and sisters in the Amazon diet has been an important part of this too. There's more to say here but I'll leave it at that for now.

as much as i love shrooms, i really can't peddle it forth as anything to treat or manage covid-19. a lot of natural products have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties (e.g garlic) but the efficiency against such a ruthless virus is really quite miniscule. that's just from a strict scientific perspective though. theres a ton of other factors that goes into this kinda stuff, its too hard to say for sure.

Look into the ketamine studies shown to reduce cytokine storms and heavy inflamation responses to treat COVID19 lol.
