The fungus Cordyceps sinensis has been described in old Chinese medical books from ancient times, and is also found in Tibetan medicine. It is a rare combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and found at altitudes above 4500m in Sikkim. Traditional healers and local people of North Sikkim recommend the mushroom, i.e., Yarsa gumba, Keera jhar (C. sinensis) for all diseases either as a single drug or combined with other herb. The fungus Penicillium from which the antibiotic penicillin is derived is the most famous medicine of the age, and the most potent hallucinogen agent Lysergic acid diethylamide (LCD), has also been derived from the plant - parasite ergot fungus Claviceps purpurea.

I'd stay far far away from doctors who want to push you pills before asking any real questions like, what's stressing you out, are you depressed, things like that.

Disease is telling the body that something in life has got to change. And I wasn't any overweight sit on my ass all day type of gal, I did yoga, gymnastics, sports, it was the trauma that I was carrying the unstable home, moving from house to house that played a part in my journey.

Cordyceps was the first "natural" supplement I ever took that immediately and intensely worked. I was just starting out running after getting sober. I really liked it, but I didn't have the stamina, especially in my lungs, to go as far as I wanted to early on. Started taking this stuff (powdered, just mixed in water) and the first time I went out I had twice the lung capacity and my head stayed calmer. It was incredible, and way past anything I could attribute to to placebo. Unfortunately for me, it had the side effect of giving me horrible GI issues after a few days use.

Not how evolution works. It's the path of least resistance, maintaining intelligence is more resistance. It's only in the particular circumstance where increased intelligence literally saves a species, that intelligence is evolved. Think of it this way, why doesn't all viruses kill their hosts? It's a path with increased resistance, that's why viruses evolve to not bother their hosts too much, because all the virus "wants" is to propagate by replication, like any lifeform would. If, and only if, intelligence leads to increased or improved propagation, only then can intelligence evolve. If a random mutation which increases intelligence imposes an increased resistance to propagation, it will be deemed a "less fit" mutation for survival. There's no inherent benefit with increased intelligence, it just happened to be.

@@divine-wind Nasal annual/seasonal type. constant sneezing, drippy nose, itchy eyes. It was horrible. For best results you need to stop caffeine at the same time, take adrenal support supplements, but Cordyceps was the real nail in the coffin of the allergies. 2014 to now (2022) I am still allergy free.

THE LAST OF JEWS.

[@jairdabrini]

@Darren Murphy It's like 50/50 and noone who knows are likely to divulge the truth. I mean there are videos on utube that point out differences in facial features like details of the ear on the body identified as the dead/hanged "Epstein" and photos of the real, living one taken before his incarceration that ofc indicate they are not the same person. The case for mr Epstein being alive is far better than for Hitler after WWII, but ppl still believed conspiracies that he wasn't dead a long time after. U just have to have enough money to buy loyalty from a few people and you can cover up anything and present a false narrative as the truth. Who identified the dead body as Mr. Epstein? Did he have family who loved him?

[@jairdabrini]

@Darren Murphy I can see your point of view as well, but then again who would want to join "them" in the future if they betray/turn/backstab their members like that? It's ok if you know the stakes and what you can say or not in public. Maybe Epstein made some mistakes in talking too much being "himself" too much and irritating other prestigious members, but it's not like he knew the stakes involved or maybe he was just stupid and not a true member at all - just a wannabe that got really close but blew it by being too arrogant.

[@MimiYuYu]

So creepy all of this chatter about cordyceps now. As a child of a Chinese immigrant I was constantly given soups and tonics with various dried cordyceps in them. Even recently, My elderly mom wanted me to use one of my translate apps to order some stuff for her and I clearly recall the app translating the item as cordyceps. This week I watched a video how ants in the rain forest get turned into mind slaves by the spores. So creepy that I used to eat that stuff a lot. Lol

[@drhexagonapus]

They're actually good for people, even if they aren't so good for ants. Don't worry, you won't become a clicker any time soon haha

[@absbi0000]

It's not creepy! Cordyceps is very beneficial for you as a functional mushroom.

[@jvogler_art4708]

I got into lion's mane recently, taking it with vitamin C every day for increased absorption and it's GREAT! After researching different brands, i wasn't impressed with host defense. I saw it wasn't pure and it was cut with grain...Mine's a mycelium based alcohol extract and i researched that as being the best as far as absorption of the polysacchrides, terpines, and Beta Glucans... It just surprises me that someone who is at the forefront of this research would put out an inferior product...

[@sterloart5844]

I was shocked also after doing some research…I keep telling myself there’s some kind of logical explanation.

I wish we had discussed Cordys ability to infect and rewire the brain. How do they know how to do that? How did they make these "anamorphs"? Did they clone these without a living host?

[@LucaExplo]

It's currently unknown how they specifically do this, but what they have researched is that the fungus basically emits the electrical charges the brain needs in order to move certain muscles so it basically controls the victim through electrical signals via the brain.

[@claytonalexander9105]

@@LucaExplo Right. Theres even species that do this with cats. How does an organism evolve to control synapsis and electrical signals in anothers brain and nervous system. Its crazy.
