22 years ago. The prescience of @StuartHameroff is unprecedented. medicinaquantistica.info/wp-…

While this piece of (breath)work is a highlight for me, as a Decentralised Science Fellow it’s also important that I share the frustrating, boring details. I submitted this breathwork paper to @NaturePortfolio @CommsPsychol who rejected it and offered to transfer it over to @SciReports a long time (over a year!) ago. I have usually had good experiences with Sci Rep, but this time it took them 4 months to even find peer-reviewers. I received one great review (endorsing publication) and one poor one; by #Reviewer2 - what a surprise (IYKYK). The Sci Rep editor flat out rejected it. Either way, I revised the manuscript based on the reviewer suggestions. Fortunately there was this amazing collection being launched by @FrontiersIn @FrontPsychol "Investigating the Interplay between Breathing and Consciousness". I guess it was meant to be. Reviews were secured quickly (again, Reviewer 1 being very positive, and #Reviewer2 requiring the most changes). It was handled well by the Editor. The process ended up being seamless. A lot has changed from the preprint to the final paper. This is what often happens during peer review. But I guess it’s worth it to get this important (breath)work out there. Alternatives do exist. @ResearchHub and @ResearchHubF are trying to accelerate the pace of scientific research. I’m not going to tell people to join it anymore (that time will come when people are ready to open their mind to alternatives like DeSci). I have published in their @RHubJournal twice already. Pay peer-reviewers. Pay researchers. Pay scientists. (Not written by AI, lol).

I have heart surgery coming up next week and now understand why I’ve been so physically exhausted and out-of-sorts these past few months. The docs tell me my condition is called “atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation” and that it is “mainly due to long standing atrial fibrillation… The tricuspid valve is leaking severely, causing a back pressure on all the internal organs and a high jugular venous pressure.” The procedure aims to get this old body back on the road again quickly and efficiently.  It is VERY LOW RISK but of course I’m grateful for any good wishes sent my way. I’m in the midst of writing a new book, the best work I’ve ever done, and I’m not going to let this stop me! I said yes to the linked podcast now, rather than after my procedure, for reasons that I explain during the interview: youtube.com/watch?v=Xs94KBeI…

Introducing the ResearchHub Funder Dashboard Track the capital you've deployed, the researchers & institutions you've supported, and the latest updates on projects you've funded. An all-in-one dashboard to track your impact 💪🥼

Wim Hof @Iceman_Hof believes science focuses too much on textbook knowledge, instead of addressing the real-life problems that challenge society every day. This is one of the reasons why we built @ResearchHub: to open a dialogue between science and the public, and keep researchers tuned in to the problems of our time.

Fresh new breathwork study by the great @breath_Guy frontiersin.org/journals/psy…

The recent case study of the 80 year old woman with Alzheimer's is wild. It was reported that she took Enigma strain... which is reportedly 4X more potent than Golden Teachers. Basically grandma took a 15 gram to 20 gram equivalent... wild! Dose is everything

When older folks seek out more and more sugary foods like candy, cookies and ice cream it often is a signal that the brain is becoming compromised and often precedes dementia

Interesting that the reactions of many people regarding this case study that the effect wasnt permanent and therefore were disappointed. Maybe the future of psychedelics for Alzheimer's disease is constant dosing for life much like many other classic medications such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes medications, and hundreds of others. Whats wrong with that? Huge Psilocybin Dose Has Incredible Effect on Elderly Dementia Patient : ScienceAlert share.google/pmIr0tCSs4HYKPp…

This article has taken me more than three months to write, so it’s a little longer, and a little more intense than usual.

Breathwork en route.

The institutions, infrastructure, and capital behind science are being reimagined. Catalyst NYC brings together researchers and funders to explore what’s working, what’s next, and where the opportunities lie. We’ll be discussing: → Alternative funding models → Open science infrastructure → Where philanthropy and venture capital meet research → How discoveries move from the lab to real-world impact And much more. Full agenda coming soon. 📅 July 11 📍 NYC #CatalystNYC is invite-only. Request an invitation: luma.com/66yycaak

In Pushpendra Singh’s lab at IIT Mandi started by @anirbanbandyo Me meditating with DDG device (left) My DDG display (right). The number of clocks (within clocks within clocks) dropped to 137 (lower clock number means higher frequencies predominate)

Before I published my papers and started lecturing nationwide, my story was first picked up by @haggertynancy with @lohud - thanks to @BiggestComeback I had dropped my 5k time from 45 minutes to 19 minutes after losing 150lbs! Read the story here… lohud.com/story/sports/2018/…

Near infrared light improves stroke recovery with just one treatment in clinical trial. Within 24 hours of patients having a stroke, they were given a 808 nm at "20 predetermined locations on the scalp for 2 minutes at each site." After 90 days, people with the light had: ➜ 58% greater NIHSS improvement (79% vs 50%) ➜ 40% greater mRS improvement (63% vs 45%) Than those in placebo.

"When you compare the ratios of the other neurotransmitters to DMT, you find they are consistent with levels of the other canonical neurotransmitters." "There was one DMT molecule for every 0.95 serotonin molecule. They also found more DMT present than dopamine." "The idea that in order for someone to experience a psychedelic state from endogenous DMT requires the same amount that you have to administer from the periphery, is ludicrous." David Nichols, the most respected psychedelic chemist alive, says endogenous DMT is irrelevant. Barker says Nichols is wrong, after speaking to both... Well, I'll let you decide.
