A woman with advanced Alzheimer's disease saw significant improvements in brain function after taking psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
That's according to a case report recently published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, which focused on an elderly woman who had been living with Alzheimer's disease for about 10 years.
The Japanese American woman, whose name was not shared, had experienced severe functional decline for roughly five years. The Brazilian study authors described her as having advanced dementia, with very limited speech or communication, severe cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence and reduced mobility.
She also depended on caregivers for assistance with daily living activities.
The woman received two sessions of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The first was a 5-gram oral dose, followed by a 3-gram oral dose a month later.
After the first dose, she experienced profuse sweating and hyperthermia, followed by a prolonged sleep-like state.
Approximately 19 hours later, the patient "spontaneously initiated autobiographical conversation lasting several hours," the researchers wrote.
Over the following days and weeks, the woman experienced restored urinary continence, was able to walk independently and dress herself, and engaged in spontaneous conversation. She was also able to retrieve contextual memories, showed the ability to express emotions and maintained eye contact — smiling with others.

I so wanted to try this with my dad but he would never do mushrooms. It sure seems like mushrooms would help because it could excite your brain to find new pathways from the blocked ones. Mushrooms ignites your entire brain and makes connections that do not normally happen. This is good shit! MORE STUDIES! I have NOT ever seen one article where removing Tao from the brain has helped anyone and am so happy to hear other studies that seem to maybe do something get some attention!
