Psilocybin Medical Trial: The Healing Mushrooms (Medical Documentary) | Real Stories

Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.

Psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms have shown a lot of promise in helping people with mental health issues.

Psilocybin mushrooms definitely have the potential to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, they really helped me.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Mushrooms are the reason I was able to quit smoking. I got off heroin, fentanyl and crack, but couldn’t quit smoking cigarettes. Two trips and the desire to smoke was gone.

I am a physician myself, who has endured 3 episodes of major depression, each lasting 2.5 years. For anyone, who has not had a clinical depression, it is a brain disorder like schizophrenia or Parkinson's and it is in my opinion the worst disease out there (I say this as an oncologist!). With depression, your brain becomes your private torture chamber every day anew. Your brain's reward system is shut off and you feel like you have a severe flu, barely able to move sometimes, but mixed with a terrifying anxiety, which sometimes gets you agitated, although you don't have any energy. No pleasure can be felt, the touch of your loved ones feels cold. Your capability of associating thoughts is low, so you withdraw from your friends, because you cannot contribute anything to any conversation. Your disintegrating brain just turns in circles and repeats "I feel so bad" like a broken record. Just surviving the next minute seems like an unsurmountable rock. Psychotherapy (7.5 years altogether, different treatments) never helped. Probably like a paralyzed person would not start walking again after psychotherapy. Talking doesn't cure a biological disease. The gross negligence of psychiatry and psychiatrists in doing deep brain research is appalling. Psychiatry got stuck in the 20th century, meanwhile e. g. oncology - by hardcore research and clinical trials - has "landed on Mars". Thus I beg psychiatrists to wake up from their ineffective "talk about it" stupor and enter modern braingineering!!!

“It feels as though I’ve ingested a really really good therapist.” Pretty much sums it up.

Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.

I do microdose on shrooms and other psychedelics and I can say it has improved my daily attitude. I'm more focused and feeling less trauma. You don't do it to trip, you take a mini dose to ease your brain receptors. I can confirm have had some of the most profound mind bending experiences a human can have in their life.

When I was a preteen my mother and brother died 6 months apart. I was a depressed teenager I experimented with Mushrooms and LSD I believe it helped me tremendously. I managed to come out of my darkness. It enlightened me.

I think psychedelics might be frowned on because they tend to make people happy without a lot of material things. Messes with the capitalistic system.

I conceived my daughter taking mushrooms in Amsterdam ...after being told my insides are messed up and I had less than 4% chance of ever having children, 7.5yrs of trying and two failed ivf cycles ✌🏻she’s almost 18 now 💞

Real depression is a hideous thing to experience

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

When the poor guy just starts to weep when asked how important the day was to him🥺🥺😭🥰

The video was a major contributor to my motivation to try psilocybin therapy. I followed the procedures outlined in this research as well as I could. The results were phenomenal. I had my entire world view flipped on it's head. I had the most terrifying experience of my existence, which led to the most period of my life. I went from not knowing where I was going or why my mind was wandering where it was going, to have a crystal clear view of where my problems lay and how to fix them. I owe this research team deeply for what they have done. Without these initial results, I probably wouldn't have bothered trying psilocybin. I'm now a life long convert. I assume I will be chomping those bad tasting mushrooms every few months for the rest of my life. They're a life saver.

In September I watched this documentary and last week I did the treatment big dose... Wow. It's healing me like no other medicine ever came close to heal. Thanks for this documentary!! 🙏🏻

I just want to say thank you to these three men for being willing to be open and vulnerable enough to share their experiences with us!

Profound. When he said "It is like he had ingested a really good therapist!" Wow that statement gave me goosebumps.

I've never suffered from depression luckily, but people who do obviously need help. And they should get it, without all the red tape rubbish, I hope all those suffering get the help they deserve as quickly as possible.....
