That's very interesting. As someone who has to take a fair amount of ibuprofen etc. for inflammatory arthritis, is it worth just tripping out from time to time?
Well, the reason I was pointed to that Psychedelics and Immunomodulation paper is that an acquaintance ingested some of these substances in a very very responsible and safe way and had a significant, sudden, and obvious remission of a chronic autoimmune condition. Completely unexpected. There was NO expectation of this as far as I know. They started trying to dig up any info on what they might have done to cause it and this paper quickly cropped up.
Edit: Please note that “immunomodulation” can mean immunosuppression! Take care!
There’s lots of science on this stuff. Surprising amounts. I strongly advocate for reading it. It’s surprisingly readable once some key elements of the jargon are picked up!
Nothing that serious! Just one of the annoying ones (and visible). If it were anything as serious as MS I’d be much more sceptical, and not so flippantly confident either.
The papers do outline some mechanisms that at least don’t exclude the possibility •shrug•
