Wonderful article. New research coming out of Cedars-Sinai hospital reports that upwards of 40% of cancer patients have unresolved trauma, and doctors think the number is higher. Integrating psychedelics into oncology is the next frontier of medicine and I appreciate reading about Dr. Agrawal’s innovation in the field.
In this BMS Talk, connected with UK Fungus Day 2022, Professor David Nutt (Imperial College London) will talk about the historic use of fungal products, especially psilocybin and how it is being developed as a powerful new agent for the treatment of depression and addiction today.
David is a psychiatrist and the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology in Imperial College London and Chief Research Officer of Awakn Life Sciences. He is currently Founding Chair of the charity Drug Science and has been president of the European Brain Council, the BAP, BNA, and ECNP.
David has published 35 books and over 1000 research papers (www.imperial.ac.uk/people/d.nutt/publications.html) that define his many landmark contributions to psychopharmacology including GABA and noradrenaline receptor function in anxiety disorders, serotonin function in depression, endorphin and dopamine function in addiction and the neuroscience and clinical utility of psychedelics. Some of this has been made into films.

So psilocybin will make me realize I’m like a cricket that doesn’t matter because there are plenty of other crickets to replace me when I die? That’s the doctors most inspirational report? I’m now a manifestation of peace and love that exists beyond time and space! It’s not just an equivalent alternative to opiates for some of us.
I just went through 7 weeks of chemo and radiation and definitely feeling anxious and depressed even though the treatments were effective. I feel like I have PTSD related symptoms. I have used psychedelic substances before but never as therapy. I will research help in my area . Any one have ideas other than self medicating ? So far minimal effect going solo but I believe a therapeutic set and setting would do wonders. Thanks for your work Dr.
