Embodied PathwaysExploring psychedelics and nature connectedness with Sam GandyDr Sam Gandy is involved with cutting-edge research into psychedelics and nature connectedness. He's worked with the Beckley Foundation, Onaya Science and the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London. In this conversation, Sam explores the capacity of psychedelics to influence human relationships with nature. The research suggests that the psychedelic experience can enhance nature connectedness: We consider the evidence and the factors that might underpin this phenomenon. We explore connectedness, mysticism, ego dissolution and how we might use ecotherapy to enhance psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Acilci.Net - Sadece Video BölümleriMolnupiravir Hakkında Bilmemiz GerekenlerMolnupiravir Nedir?
Bir ribonükleozid olan beta-D-N4-hydroksi sitidinin (NHC) oral öncülü ilaçtır. Bu nükleozid RNA virüslerine karşı geniş antiviral aktiviteye sahiptir. NHC’nin viral RNA bağımlı RNA polimeraz tarafından hücre içine alınımı, viral mutasyonlara ve ölümcül mutageneze neden olmaktadır. Bu şekilde molnupiravir SARS-CoV-2’ ye karşı potent antiviral aktivite göstermektedir.
Mutajenik bir ribonükleozid olduğundan molnupiravirin insan konak hücreleri tarafından metabolize edilerek konak DNA’sına dahil olmak sureti ile mutasyonlara neden olması gibi teorik bir risk bulunmaktadır. Literatürde bu konuda yer alan iki in vivo mutajenisite ç...

End of the Road Podcast (Immanence = Transcendence)Ep. 64 . Lara Gilbert: Ayahuasca American StyleThough Ayahuasca is used as a traditional spiritual medicine in ceremonies among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin, it is starting to make inroads into the heartlands of America. I have yet to encounter a more evocative spokesperson for this medicine than Lara. Lara embodies the restorative potential that Ayahuasca creates in healing past traumas and in harmonizing life with its spiritual undercurrents. Lara works with Jyaneshwari Onaya, a Maestra of Ayahuasca who has studied and lived in the Amazon near Iquitos, Peru with her Maestro, Enrique Fasando Lopez of the Incan Kena Village for many years. Using thi...
