Microdosing for stroke?

My wife had a stroke a few years ago. Although the damage was "minor," she has memory holes. Has anybody tries microdosing mushrooms for stroke related memory holes?

"Psychedelics may play a future role in treatment of brain injury through a variety of mechanisms. Though these are a novel class of drugs deserving close study, more data are necessary to prove their efficacy for treatment of brain injury, as historically many compounds have seemed promising in vitro, including likely hundreds of compounds thought to facilitate neuroplasticity and neuroprotection, but have not borne out in clinical trials (61, 62). There is already mixed evidence to suggest the use of non-classical psychedelics ketamine (63, 64), as well as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (65, 66) and cannabidiol (67, 68), as neuroprotectants after TBI and stroke. Presence of THC on urine drug screen is associated with decreased mortality in adult patients sustaining TBI (65). However, randomized control trials of a non-psychoactive cannabinoid analog, dexanabinol, administered once after TBI has failed to show benefit over placebo in increasing Glasgow Coma Scores at 6 months post-injury (69)"

Thanks. Sounds like it is worth a shot. Any downside to trying?

Psilocybin is low risk. Known contraindications are restricted to psychological predisposition to psychosis, heart conditions and lithium. In microdoses these are extremely unlikely to be an issue anyway.

Yeah. My thinking is that, even if microdosing doesn't work for this, the likelihood of harm is low, the cost (for us) is near zero, so even "placebo effect" would be a net gain for wife.

In your situation I'd consider it as a course of action too.
Mushrooms also restore connections in the brain damaged by depression. They can be a real game changer for people who have had difficult experiences and are seeking healing.
There is inquiry about the topic but preliminary research shows that larger active doses appear to be more medicinal neurologically than microdoses. Obviously that needs to be approached with caution. But thats what we are seeing.
