Mushrooms For Depression: Psychedelics Can Improve Existing Medication, Lessen Side-Effects With Shamanistic POWAH!

Mushrooms For Depression, Improving New Treatments With Old Magic:
Depression and anxiety seem like problems that face an increasing part of the population every day.

Along with society’s failure to spot it and adequately-help, Science is not doing a perfect job with its pharmaceutical treatments either.

And in those less-than-perfect drug-solutions we also get: Side-Effects.

One of which is not just the reduction of Negative emotions, but positive ones, too.

But researchers at a special branch of the UK’s Imperial College of London are borrowing a weird, old take on solving mind-problems of all types: Psychedelics…

Video: ASAPScience On The Surprising Discoveries In The Hunt To Cure Depression


Is There a Biological Cause For Depression?:
With about 350 million people affected worldwide, or about 5% of the world’s population, Depression is a pretty widespread problem.

-Especially given its increased-concentration in 1st world countries (~7%).

Only Anxiety occurs in larger numbers (~18%).

But, what exactly going on inside people with these disorders?

Is it just cognitive-distortions & chemistry, or is there an actual Biological basis for it?

Well in the above video, ASAPScience tries to find out…

Back To The Future!: Old Drug Provides New Benefits In Fight Against Alzheimer’s

Retro Approach To New Info Pays Off:
In the field of research, The New rules the roost. What’s old is considered obsolete.

And nowhere is this more obvious than the search for cures to diseases.

Both The How & The Why seem so complex, the Solution must be something supercomputer-complex, & supercomputer-new, also.

Well, in a strange turn of events, an English team took the recent trend of Inflammation being implicated in many diseases, including Alzheimer’s,

And ran with it, back to a 2,000+ year-old fix that looks like the start of a new cure…

Ancient Tradition Vs. Modern Science: How Deep-Breathing Works For Anxiety & Calms You Down

Ancient Tradition Vs. Modern Science: How Deep-Breathing Works For Anxiety & Calms You Down

What’s Old Is New Again, Especially If You’re Anxious:
Recently, an interesting mashup of old and new science has happened in the health space.

Modern medicine can’t cure one thing, so people try an old thing.

Science does an investigation, finds one old supplement is snake-oil and another isn’t.

But for thousands of years, health-nuts from far-eastern yogis right down to your Mom have often advised one thing for Anxiety: Take A Deep Breath.

And science may have just figured-out why…

As Stupid As Nascar Cartman:
Every once in awhile, a health news story comes out that is truly inspirational.

Not since Eric Cartman drinking Vagisil in his bid to qualify as a Nascar driver, has something so majestic gone public.

And though in the small “Fail-Army” part of HT there is probably none that will exceed the caution against mixing grenades & sledgehammers.

-Which to be fair, for the rational-minded among you is pretty much the same equation as career blackmail+ impossible sales goals…

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!:
Around the colder months of the year, we all get a set of mixed-blessings.

Lots of fun new Winter sports, several new if inconvenient paintjobs on the landscape by Mother Nature that make everything a quiet wonder to observe.

And the inevitable disruptions in our body’s internal-balance that make us get sick in all kinds of glorious post-new-years-eve-vomit-jamboree ways.

Well CollegeHumor and U.Michigan have each gone their own unique ways to show us the different shades of awful this productivity-sapping season can go…

Love, Actually Is A Brain Chemical:
A lot of recent research has been focused on brain-building through nootropics/supplements and special meditation.

Both have shown some interesting and unexpected results, especially on improvement in quality of life.

As researchers of all kinds try to improve that life-experience from Gilgamesh, to R.W. Emerson, to Eckhart Tolle, new & old ideas get discovered & re-discovered.

And one of them is an out-of-the-way chemical scientists thought restricted to basic-cable reruns of “Love Actually”…

Video: DNews Asks Which Creativity Drug Works Best. -Alcohol Or Marijuana?


How To Optimize Free Creative Output:
Since some super-creative people have taken different psychoactives to help them work better, there has been a long debate about which is more effective.

And in this video, DNews looks into two of them. Marijuana and Alcohol.

It would seem at first that many writers tend to favor Alcohol, with guys like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, & Twain being on that list.

But on the other hand, many other artistic folk seem to favor Marijuana. To name a few of them: Carl Sagan, Alexandre Dumas, and Salvador Dali.

So which is the best “supplement” for creativity-boostage?…
