    Paul has changed my life. I followed his microdose regime of 4 days on 3 days off for a few months. No one in my life can recognize who I am these days, and thats an amazing thing. Im learning who I am again. I went from mentally living in a constant hurricane to living in an occasional sunshower. Thank you, Paul, your research has saved my mind from itself.

      @@swisstrader More specific about my experience? It was a mental awakening. I realized how much of a POS I was. How I was hurting so many people by me exsisting. Thats because I couldnt see through my own bullshit. Microdosing somehow, someway, forced an awakening within me and that mindset faded away to nothingness. I recently lost my daughter January of '21 and I attribute me not mentally spiraling out of control to microdosing.

    *I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.*

      Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

    • @JanutnesJacob
      @JanutnesJacob 5 місяців тому +1

      Yes *Mr.Luccas024* ..Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

And we use it in order to figure out nature, so this is nature trying to figure itself out. This is astonishing.

    Thank you Paul. I imagine you know more than you actually say. I adore listening to you speak your wonderful multi-dimensional truths. I would know nothing, but the very system you speak about, taught me. The figurative telephone lines they create, allow them to know things faster than a neighborhood gossip, and all information is shared throughout the plant kingdom. That kingdom shows great respect, and wants us to participate in the healing of this ever amazing planet.

      I am so fearful of what could happen. I am afraid of a bad trip. I've Never used drugs of any kind, so I would be so scared once I felt something start happening. I would love to experience what mushrooms (or even ayhuasca) could do to unlock spiritual potential as well as medicinal benefits. I did end up finding some Paul Stamets Host Defense mushroom products at my local health food store and purchased some of those products for immune support. I think it works wonders, every time I've felt even a bit sick in my throat or glands, I spray a few times a day and it's gone immediately. ❤️

    Two points: Can Fungi/Mushrooms be used to neutralize radioactive contamination? My other point is: I read an article in a garden mag about ridding your garden of Japanese Beetles. Early in the cool of the morning you collect the beetles in a jar of water. You let the jar sit a couple of days, throw the contents into a blender. Dump contents into another jar through a sieve. Pour fluid into a spray bottle, go out into the garden in the early morning and spray the beetles. The fungus that attacks to beetles is highly concentrated and slowly kills off the beetles. I did this with my ant problem in the house and it worked.

      @@thisguy8106 Yet!............. stable change takes time and life rolls on even though were in the 6th.......... Revolutions seldom last............. slow sustained change is what we need. Most people around the world still rely on the 'Blue Church' for their info alas this is flawed thinking............ we have to 'wake up' and that realisation is truly terrifying for those who believe we live in a good and just world with government and multi nationals they can rely on and trust to look after them and the Earth. If they are 'good' all will be good. Doesn't work like this alas.This has to be a collective change. Give them time in the meantime enjoy as you do the things that make a difference. That's what I do. This really is a 'ground up' movement by those that hold none of the aces. Enjoy the ride!

      It wouldn't be banned because it is good science. Sadly Graham has always had fact checking and interpretation issues, fascinating as he is. A TED Talk just needs to be strongly evidence based and contain sound self critical interpretations.

      Yes ppl can have an open mind without any aid from psychedelics. But the fact is, not everybody does. I'd say most ppl don't. We're not taught to be open minded. We're taught to be subservient.

      I met him years ago, and we both agreed that our spirit animals are mushrooms lol. He's just as genuine in person as he seems in this talk. I grew up near his farm in Washington State, and have been following his work for years. During these times of COVID, I'm taking his Comprehensive Immune Support tincture (which contains the agarikon he talked about in this video + 16 other powerhouse mushrooms) and sent a bunch to my friends and family. Stamets is the real deal. And so are mushrooms.
