Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@NicoleCtirad]

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.

[@Bastianbishops]

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

[@SusanaGomez-mp8sk]

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@BrownGeorge-pw2xo]

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. Thank you for sharing this point!

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]

Hi. I’m interested in microdosing. Can you be more specific about your experience and where you obtained the mushrooms?

[@mtb1335]

@@swisstrader I used doses so small I didnt even notice the effects of the psilocybin. I used it more like a vitamin than a drug. I obtained them legally from local dispensers.

[@mtb1335]

@@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 understand his excitement and passion about mushrooms. Recently, after years of not seeing them, I noticed mushrooms growing everywhere on my property, which is a heavily wooded five acres. They were even growing in the graveled driveway. My theory is that the recent growth is promoted by the increase in radiation from Fukushima. And yes, the idea that mushrooms thrive on and convert radioactive substances is very good news.

[@velvetindigonight]

Fascinating observation. Thank you

[@jonatanolsen37]

I have loads of mushrooms in my garden aswell, They seem to be popping up everywhere. The more we pollute, the more they grow :P

I mean the radiation from fukushima would only effect you or the mushrooms if you lived near it. Other wise the radiation from fukushima was neglegable or almost nothing on the total radiation on the earth

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.

Look into micro dosing if you are interested , in the effects and benefits of various mushrooms

[@katiem1988]

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. ❤️

In 1976 I began my college education in Mankato, MN. It took a few years, a few other majors, to realize I wanted to study Microbiology. I had found my calling and was totally adsorbed in the study of life, unseen. I later decided to pursue Mycology. Sometimes you just have a sense of the right direction after you've tried all the wrong directions. Unfortunately, I never completed my college education, but have been very interested in Mycology. Now that I'm 62 years old, I can say I at least was heading in the right direction, once. This presentation was very inspiring to me. Thank you.
