I noticed in an article about mucuna that it contains elements of a tryptamine compound identical to one found in certain Amazonian rain forest plants used to make ayahuasca. Tryptamines are potent neurotransmitters and neuromodulators (serotonin and melatonin are tryptamines). As someone who lived through the ‘60’s (and who did inhale), I’ve wondered what, if any, beneficial effects revisiting some of those older plant medicines might have in parkinson’s. Anybody out there have any experience positive or negative? Other well-known tryptamines are psilocybin, ibogaine, and dimethyltriptamine.
