Lion's Mane Mushroom Brain Damage

So Ryan russo, made a youtube video about brain damage from shroom, lions mane,
I know this is steroid forum
But as anybody here tried it?
How are u now.?
Examine.com has a summary + a ton of study links on most supplements. It’s highly regarded by Andrew Huberman, which is how I found it.

Examine says Lions Mane is highly promising for helping to preserve cognition as we get older, not damage it.
 
Shrooms are fungi and there is a big push on right now to disavow lots of fungus. There is all kinds of Hooplahh on the Mississippi Gulf Coast about all kinds of strains of fungus and maybe bacteria that are unstoppably dangerous and out of control. Mold being a subspecies on fungus and probably the primary culprit. Has to do with warming temps never having winter freezes and all this shit mutating out of control year over year now. I havent paid enough attn to put the pieces together yet but its starting to gain my attention, I cant tell you the labs that do water remediation/mitigation testing are moving their focus as well. I think I recall even seeing a black fungi that will eat your nose off when combined with Covid. WHich I believe was also the "Black fungus" that was headlined years back about basically you would need to burn the hospital room if a patient had been in there with it. They were finding it on plastic equipment, textiles, ceiling panels, you name it.

But mushrooms in the supplement industry are usually safe and clear i do wonder the longterm effects of some I think the one you are talking about being called a "Nootropic" for brain power right?

These people USED TO being into ONLY things that work. Which is juice. But there is more mainstream supp talk over the years. Use the search..

Im just jabbering now and WE GONE... LOL
Dude are you describing this HBO show, The last of us ?

No fiction tales there - everything in that post seemed like I was pretty straight forward and just recalling documented and well known current conditions and events.

But you did remind me I have a note to binge that series soon.. I hear its pretty good...

Its good to see someone out here passing on information. And even while we should not be spoon-feeding so much, this kind of effort in you next post is great for educating and inciting onlookers that may sit on the fence to a positive manner.

I just want to point out a lot of times today people get discouraged whenever they attempt to try a new supplement and simply because it does not blow their hair back with a notably strong action of some type. And then they drop it a week after their purchase. When still they should give it its chance if they were really serious in the first place.. :)

So this is an incredibly broad statement, and the efficacy of lions mane specifically would be difficult to isolate in regards to this anecdote, BUT:

13 years ago my father was diagnosed with neuro-endocrine cancer. He was given approximately 7 months to live at the time of his diagnosis. Almost immediately he changed his diet radically and began experimenting with a .large. variety of different mushrooms for medicinal benefit, eating them and making tea's and tinctures, etc. Lions Mane was one that he regularly ranted to me about regarding its myriad benefits. As stated, this was now 13 years ago and he's still alive and actually quite healthy despite still needing lanreotide injections, which is a synthetic version of somatostatin (a hormone.) He now grows his own lions mane on logs that he inoculates himself, and attributes his continued health largely to both lions mane and monthly coffee enemas (yeah, I know... but its a thing, look it up.)

That all interesting and I can testify that I have seen this stuff for two decades in reports from acquaintances to friends. This includes one guy I know that went to Mexico for colorectal cancer and IT DID INCLUDE CRAZY ENEMAS which is basically the direct application of treatment substance to the affected colon area. I think once he finished a cannibalizing surgery completed in the states including possibly one round of torturous chemo which blew his mind so bad he would rater die... rather than live with a shit bag, he opted to leave it where is was and head to mexico for treatment at one of those offbeat cancer clinics. He's alive 30 years later now...

Secondly I wanted to point out that there is some Hollywood Vet that I have seen that sells a mushroom edible supplement/medical fix-for-pets that countless people have testified that they take their pets to him on cancer deaths door and something about feeding these mushrooms running thru the gut just about cures them overnight, grand scheme considered.

NO you will never find mainstream medical science admitting to any of this and it just might turn out that its these same ingredients that they base some of their treatments on... You just never know..
 
Actually. And I got an inside scoop that they call this fungi CUNTKILAUS. Funny how this was aired AFTER my post. so obviosly the BBC does not just make shit up..

Have you got some good acid though??? :p

You know...there are like, literally, a few tens of thousands of fungi out there, right? Yeast actually falls under fungi.

Hearsay. Why should anyone believe these hollywood fuck ups? they probably will say that cocaine is also a cancer cure if they get paid enough.

What? pharmaceutical drugs are very specifically engineered.

Honestly sir, I think you need to get off whatever drugs you are doing.
 
As with most supplements it's trial and error... It depends on brain chemistry...it will work either 1 of 2 ways (usually) for the majority of people... I think the quality of the product does matter as well

Yes of course yeasts are Fungi, as is MOLD... ANd yes tons of them.. I am not condeming LionsMaine or whatever its called, I am pointing out the interesting characteristics of Fungi in Nature. Which lions main also comes from. And the unique things going on today which appear to be experiential and related to climate warming intervals in as they occur

Yes I have not heart for Hollywood. YOU UNDERSTAND I MEANT VETERENARIAN. STILL this is a market with the LUXURY of plenty of money to spend on their pet which alone makes it a possible viable venue in these studies and examples. So who knows there is all I was pointing out.

And As far as cocaine is concerned. I don't think the idiots in Hollywood would ever require a paycheck to proclaim cocaine as a lifesaver. ( a particularly ugly drug IMO)

But thx for the reply I appreciate your participation.

ALSO, lastly but not lesstly. Perhaps its DRUGS you need to be doing... You can place a comfortable politically correct name on them such as "medicine" or "pharmaceuticals" if it makes you more comfortable...;) Personally I would recommed a trippy genus might help with that brain cageitis:p

Mushrooms are highly variable in their nutrition, such as where they grow and on what substrate they grow on. The same cultivar of mushrooms grown on say, soy flour or rice straws, can have different growth rate, different nutritional quality and different polyphenolic profiles. So yes, in order to really confirm how clinically significant lion mane mushroom can be, it's probably the best to try growing one (and it's been done successfully, I have visited a farm before) and then use consistent method of extractions (water extract? green organic solvent? or microwave extraction?). However, I am very optimistic about lions mane mushrooms. Mushrooms have been taken for granted for millennia, and the only thing I hope is that zealotry of social media addicts don't take over good causes, like they have done for gluten free diet, vegetarianism, etc etc.
