We consider a natural chemical and its synthetic version identical provided they both have the same chemical structure and are pure. But how pure? Realistically, with even 2% impurities, a chemical made by synthesis and one isolated from herbs, can have totally different sets of unknown, potentially toxic chemicals. Those present in the synthetic version are most likely toxic, inedible petrochemicals, while those present in the natural version are from the same natural source, herb or food. During purification, these impurities are supposed to be removed, but are not. Hence, after 80 plus years of pursuing drug therapy with synthetics, we have created the vicious cycle. In light of the current gold-rush mentality in this field, let’s not make the same mistake with psilocybin, baeocystin, and norbaeocystin mushrooms as we have with herbal supplements. See the example of levodopa impurities on pp. 94-96 of my latest book, “My Life & Rollercoaster Caeer.” hashtag#psilocybinhashtag#analogshashtag#baeocystinhashtag#norbaeocystinhashtag#viciouscyclehashtag#levodopahashtag#naturalhashtag#synthetichashtag#toxichashtag#petrochemicalshashtag#mushroomshashtag#impuritieshashtag#hempcbd

No tenemos idea de cómo llegó. Pero pensamos que Dios lo creó, o a través de la evolución. A pesar de todo, estamos aquí hoy, buscando “curas” para enfermedades o explorando el espacio exterior. Ambos esfuerzos son sólo una pequeña parte de cada entidad. Al ir a la luna y volver, nuestra salud colectiva no se ha visto significativamente afectada, si es que lo hace. Pero en la terapia de drogas, nuestro cuerpo complejo está íntimamente involucrado. Sin utilizar las ciencias apropiadas para abordar los problemas del tiempo y la complejidad de nuestro cuerpo, hemos desperdiciado gran parte de los últimos 80 años de esfuerzos, que terminaron en el ciclo vicioso. Este ciclo se describe ampliamente en mis libros y publicaciones en línea. Para que la terapia de drogas tenga éxito, estos 2 problemas deben ser abordados, de lo contrario la terapia “basada en evidencia” no es más científica que la medicina herbaria. Ambos son ensayo y error, excepto este último tiene la ventaja del tiempo.

We have no idea how we got it. But we figured God created it, or it got here via evolution. Regardless, we are here today, trying to find ‘cures’ for illnesses or to explore outer space. Both endeavors are only a tiny part of each entity. In going to the moon and back, our collective health has not been significantly affected, if at all. But in drug therapy, our complex body is intimately involved, along with time. Without using the appropriate sciences to address these 2 issues, we have wasted much of the past 80 years’ efforts, with the drugs ending up in the vicious cycle. This vc is described extensively in my books and online posts. Hence, for drug therapy to be safe and effective, these 2 issues must be addressed, otherwise ‘evidence-based’ drug therapy is no more scientific than herbal medicine – both are trial and error, except the latter has the advantage of time, hence safer. For a quick view of why drug therapy is not scientific, with its toxic drugs ending up in the vc, see my article “A Disruptive Concept in Drug Therapy” on my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-leung-9b933913/ or blog: www.ayslcorp.com/blog. hashtag#minicosmoshashtag#nonscientifichashtag#cosmoshashtag#drugtherapyhashtag#complexhashtag#disruptiveconcepthashtag#herbal

I am one who have never taken psychedelics, because I don’t want to lose control of my senses. Since I was plain lucky to have finished college with my uncle & aunt’s support, and was doing graduate studies at U. of Michigan on a teaching assistantship and fellowship, I didn’t want to bring shame to my family for doing something out of character. That was an old Chinese cultural thing. For 5 years, I spent most of my time in the lab culturing Psilocybe baeocystis mycelium and ‘coaxing’ it to produce the highest amounts of 2 new psilocybin analogs. I isolated and identified them, naming them baeocystin and norbaeocystin. That was over 55 yrs ago! And as far as I know, no one has yet mass-produced these compounds. I am ready if you are. The mycelium of P. baeocystis containing specific amounts of psilocybin, baeocystin, and norbaeocystin can be produced by my method using fermentation/biotech. If ingested, the natural mycelium will have the ‘entourage’ effects not found in its synthetic counterparts along with their minute amounts of potentially highly toxic petrochemical byproducts as impurities. hashtag#baeocystinhashtag#norbaeocystinhashtag#psilocybinhashtag#fermentationhashtag#biotechhashtag#myceliumhashtag#psychedelicshashtag#entourageeffectshashtag#syntheticshashtag#toxicimpurities

I don’t personally know Paul, but we have mutual friends, like Dennis McKenna in his documentary, “Fantastic Fungi.” When I went to Michigan for graduate studies in 1962, Paul was only a kid. He couldn’t have witnessed first-hand the psilocybin research in human health yet. As for baeocystin and norbaeocystin, I have first-hand knowledge of them because I am the scientist who first isolated them as new compounds from Psilocybe baeocystis in liquid culture, determining their chemical structures, and giving them appropriate names. However, these findings were not published by my thesis advisor, Ara G. Paul, and me until 1967-1968 in 2 papers. Although Varro E. (Tip) Tyler was Ara’s close friend leading another group in Psilocybe research in Washington, we did our work independently. I don’t know how Paul got his information about baeocystin being toxic, or that Benedict, Tip, and I together named the chemicals. Does anyone know where this information on baeocystin being toxic came from, before I even determined its chemical structure? hashtag#baeocystinhashtag#norbaeocystinhashtag#Joeroganhashtag#podcast1385hashtag#paulstametshashtag#psilocybinhashtag#toxichashtag#firsthandhashtag#liquidculturehashtag#Michiganhashtag#Washingtonhashtag#chemicalstructure

Besides this podcast, I also recommend Paul’s documentary, “Fantastic Fungi.” Great piece of work! Take your children to see it. It’ll introduce them to the fantastic world of mushrooms, molds, mycelia, etc., so far still mostly unnoticed. But it will be a part of their future world providing them with solutions to many of their health and environmental problems. In my opinion, the next real breakthrough in medicine will again come from fungi, since penicillin. But this time, the elements involved would not be just one natural chemical, to be followed by endless synthetics. After over 80 years of searching for ‘cures’ for diseases and found none, some of us dedicated scientists are once again alerted to more old clues. They are leading us to new natural remedies among those that are already here waiting to be discovered since we appeared on this planet. They won’t include totally brand-new, unknown synthetic chemicals that are in the vicious cycle. Please see my next post for more details on psilocybin analogs. hashtag#JoeRoganhashtag#PaulStametshashtag#mushroomhashtag#fantasticfungihashtag#childrenhashtag#environmentalhashtag#breakthroughhashtag#fungihashtag#penicillinhashtag#naturalchemicalshashtag#syntheticshashtag#remedieshashtag#viciouscyclehashtag#psilocybinhashtag#moldhashtag#mycelia

Our body is infinitely complex. It functions so well that no man-made gadgets can imitate. God (or evolution) has given us a body whose complexity is beyond our intellect to fathom. It has a unique immune system variously described over time as yin-yang balance or homeostasis, which involves microbes, in and around us, living in harmony with us in a symbiotic existence. It has helped us survive all sorts of deadly diseases over millions of years, until only decades to a century ago. Then, antibiotics, followed by more synthetic drugs, started to drastically weaken our immune system by destroying a key part of our microbiome. Together with our body’s subsequent loss of its self-healing abilities, this has led to its ready susceptibility to mental stress and various infections and illnesses. The toxic drugs cause side effects that in turn lead to new diseases requiring more drugs to treat, hence the vicious cycle.

This is my brief history of the current state of drug treatment in layman terms. The only way to avoid being dragged into this vicious cycle is to bypass it with natural therapeutics, should we need them.   #immunity #viciouscycle  #yinyangbalance #homeostasis #antibiotics #drugs #toxic #microbiome

Instead of telling you to look for it in my writings, I am quoting just one instance from my most recent book “My Life & Rollercoaster Career” (pp. 95-96), which was in connection with my extraction process for levodopa: “…During my 55 plus years of working with chemicals, the conventional wisdom among chemists is that the synthetic version and the natural version of a chemical are the same as long as they are both pure. But how pure? 98.0% or 99.9%? How about the remaining 2.0% or 0.1% containing a tiny amount of some highly toxic unknown chemical? The USP/NF specifies the purity of levodopa to be containing 98.0% to 102.0%, depending on the analytical methods used. It doesn’t specify 100.00% or even 99.99% (absolute purity or close to it) because the analytical techniques available are not that precise. So, a ‘pure’ chemical always has impurities in it. The impurities in natural chemicals are not brand new to our environment. But those present in synthetic chemicals are totally unknown to us and have absolutely no history of interacting with us. I think you should be aware of these facts.” hashtag#naturalhashtag#synthetichashtag#chemicalshashtag#toxichashtag#USPNFhashtag#levodopahashtag#impurities

He visto 2 industrias que comenzaron con buenas intenciones, pero han terminado en el ciclo vicioso para “Terapia de drogas” que sólo beneficia a Big Pharma & Co.; y en cuanto a la otra industria “Dietary Supplement,” se convertió en un éxito de marketing como el de las drogas, excepto que mezcla hierbas con productos químicos (drogas) y ‘scientific-sounding’ anuncios para lavar el cerebro a los consumidores a comprar sus productos. Ambas industrias confunden la ciencia de laboratorio (‘basada en la evidencia’) con la experiencia humana tradicional (llamada ‘anecdótico’) en un lío enrevesado autogenerado. ¿Quién nos está cuidando, especialmente a nuestras generaciones futuras? ¡Nadie! Si usted quiere hacer lo correcto para comenzar su negocio de cbd o psilocibina con productos químicos naturales y no drogas sintéticas, puedo ayudarle. Soy el primer científico que produje psilocibina, baeocistina y norbaeocistina utilizando la biotecnología. Mírame y lee mi último libro. Si usted es serio, envíame un mensaje. Soy real, pero lo hago sólo por nuestra progenie. hashtag#cbdhashtag#psilocibinahashtag#baeocistinahashtag#hierbashashtag#drogastoxicashashtag#sintéticashashtag#biotecnologíahashtag#ciclovicioso
