Default Lion's Mane Mushrooms

Hi All,

I'm going to try something new!

I was recently introduced to the research about Lion's Mane Mushrooms that indicate that ingesting them regularly can help improve cognitive functioning - especially in people dealing with mild impairments.

There is even some thinking that these little guys can help your body to regenerate the myelin sheath of axons and promote neuroplasticity.

I've been improving significantly over the last year with the various hormone treatment I am getting. But I'm still not close enough to 100% yet and I'm hopeful that these little mushrooms will help give me an extra edge.

THESE ARE NOT HALLUCINOGENIC MUSHROOMS!!

This is where I got mine from: http://www.mushroomscience.com/produ...mane-mushroom/

But there are several different manufacturer's that sell them. You just have to pay attention to who's making them and how they're doing it... because apparently some methods get better results than others.

just thought I'd bring this back instead of making a new one

but i have heard it helps with cognitive function,

a buddy of mine is in school (he doesnt have any pcs) however hes noticed it helps him focus studying and he is able to retain information better

I just ordered mine, my PCS is very minimal, some slight headaches this week,
but I just ordered my lions mane mush room and will update after using it,

anyone else try it?

BTW cubensis mushrooms give me super focus, fluid and clear mind, plus increased creativity and energy, neurogenesis It happens probably because brain gets hyperconnected and calms down brain. I never tried lions mane mushrooms. Is there evidence that they do work?

Cubes, magic muschrooms, shrooms or cubensis mushrooms are illegal in most of the world. Only legal in Brazil, Netherlands and Austria.

Psychedelics are generally considered a risk for people who have brain injuries.

Psychedelics are generally considered a risk for people who have brain injuries.
Unfortunately they are because they do have great potential in treatment of mental disorders such anxiety, PTSD and depression.
Why psychedelics are bad for people with TBI? Psilocybin has very interesting properties such as neurogenesis and creating hyperconnected brain what could be useful with TBI.
