CONTENT WARNING: This is an example of a hateful term: “globohomo.” What is it? Emerging in 2016, this multi-purpose, right-wing troll invention combines homophobia and antisemitism.
Researcher David Futrelle’s well-known misogyny tracking site We Hunted The Mammoth offers this summary:
“Ostensibly, ‘globohomo’ is short for ‘global homogenization,’ an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy ‘traditional’ culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture. But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, ‘globo’ means ‘globalist’ and therefore Jews; while ‘homo’ (the suffix) means, well, ‘homo’ (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that ‘globohomo’ isn’t gay-sounding enough, add ‘gayplex’ to it — ‘globohomogayplex’).”
(MSN/Footprints of The Frontier) Hidden beneath the legend of the Wild West lies a story few historians dare to tell -- the forgotten connection between cowboys and magic mushrooms.
What's that on those cowpies, Casey? - Shrooms!
As European settlers invaders, loggers, and ranchers spread westward, psilocybin mushrooms* flourished in their wake, sprouting in wood chips, cattle pastures [on dung], and mining camps across the frontier. While whisky fueled the saloons, some frontiersmen and Indigenous healers quietly turned to the “flesh of the gods” for vision, healing, and escape. These fungi spread along the same trails as the pioneers, forming a psychedelic undercurrent to the age of expansion. It’s a chapter of the American frontier buried by religion, shame, and time — until now.
Psilocybin "magic mushrooms" (psilocybin-containing mushrooms, commonly known as shrooms [1]) are a type of entheogenic, psychedelic (mind-making), hallucinogenic mushroom and a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain the prodrug psilocybin, which turns into the psychedelic psilocin upon ingestion [2].
The most potent species are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from approximately a dozen other genera, including Panaeolus (including Copelandia), Inocybe, Pluteus, Gymnopilus, and Pholiotina [2].
Among other cultural applications, magic mushrooms are used as spiritual medicine (early psychology) and foolishly as recreational drugs [2].
Shrooms were used ritualistically in pre-Columbian [before Columbus] Mexico, but claims of their widespread ancient use are largely exaggerated and shaped by modern idealization and ideology [3].

Natural occurrence. Non-psilocybe species of psilocybin mushroom include Pluteus salicinus, Gymnopilus luteoviridis, and Panaeolus cinctulus, formerly called Panaeolus subbalteatus. In a 2000 review on the worldwide distribution of psilocybin mushrooms... More

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) approved in the US as the first and only monotherapy for adults with treatment-resistant depression
Special K (ketamine) is called a psychedelic.
[Matthew "Chandler" Perry would love it, wouldn't he?] Following U.S. FDA Priority Review, approval is based on data demonstrating SPRAVATO® alone met its primary endpoint at 4 weeks and led to rapid and superior improvement in depressive symptoms compared to placebo as early as 24 hours [1].
SPRAVATO® alone showed a rapid and superior improvement vs. placebo in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score, with numerical improvements across all 10 MADRS items seen at day 28 in a post-hoc analysis [2].
Monotherapy data adds to well-established clinical efficacy and real-world safety profile
TITUSVILLE, New Jersey, Jan. 21, 2025 – Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray, making this innovative treatment the first and only monotherapy for adults living with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have had an inadequate response to at least two oral antidepressants.
MDD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, with an estimated 21 million adults in the U.S. living with the disease. About one-third of adults will not respond to oral antidepressants alone, which has a significant negative impact on the quality of life of those affected. MDD has a high economic burden, with nearly half of it attributable to treatment-resistant depression (TRD) [3,4,5]. More
The funniest character on Friends, "Chandler" (played by addict Matthew Perry), passed off of the human plane into the afterlife prematurely due to his ongoing abuse of drugs, particularly Special K (ketamine). Doctors and the Ketamine Queen provided it. Now, a year after his offing, they are being charged with drugged dealing leading to a user's death. They were exploiting him for price, marking up $12 worth of ketamine to $2,000 and laughing at him for being dumb enough to pay it.

We just had this discussion over the weekend, as we traipsed through the woods on a mushroom hunt, discussing the entheogenic, psychedelic, shamanic, psychological, and medicinal use of mind-expanding substances like magic mushrooms and plant medicines, DMT and spiritual practices such as Eight Limbed Yoga and Buddhist Meditation.
What it's like to take a psychedelic trip without drugs
Ecstatic breathing, yoga, cold plunge, NDE, sex?
(Esquire) It doesn’t take a third eye (Buddhist dibba cakkhu) to see that Americans, at long last, are primed to turn on, tune in (and possibly drop out).
OK, ready, everyone's doin it
If you’ve heard yourself utter the phrase “plant medicine” when what you mean is “shrooms,” if you’ve found yourself absently Googling “Ayahuasca retreats” the way you used to look for beach getaways, if you’ve got a friend who flew across the country to take a “heroic dose” of magic mushrooms (psilocybin) in the care of a psychedelic shaman and you felt the sharp pinch of jealousy…you are, well, hardly alone.

Dr. Drew (a real medical doctor, general practitioner, addiction specialist, and former host of Loveline (on KROQ and MTV) talks about being shut down by YouTube for telling the truth, just like Russell Brand was brought down by allegations that are enough to prove that a corporation is acting in good faith for censoring anyone trying to debunk the mainstream media narrative for war, Big Pharma, experimental vaccines, genocide, or anything else Big Brother wants us to believe without question.
Big Pharma means big profits and no cures
("Big Brother" too strong? What else to call the dystopian Orwellian moment we're in with Israel's crimes against humanity, fraud in medicine including fake vaccines, pandemics, swine and bird flus, and more nonsense out of the White House than when it was temporarily painted orange by all the bronzer Trump has to use to not look like a corpse, whereas Biden is proud to look like a corpse?)

He shares the impacts of loneliness on both mental and physical health, exploring the associated risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia. As loneliness continues to be a pressing issue in today's society, understanding its far-reaching consequences becomes increasingly important.
Loneliness has been linked to various health issues, affecting not only emotional well-being but also increasing the risk of several chronic conditions. We'll discuss the connection between loneliness and the following health risks:
heart disease, stroke, dementia. We will also examine the unique challenges loneliness poses for individuals undergoing anesthesia for surgery.
In particular, we'll explore how worsened depression or anxiety can heighten the risks of postoperative pain and nausea.
Can ketamine cure mental-emotional issues?
💔 Heart Disease Risk and Loneliness
Research has indicated a strong association between loneliness and the development of heart disease. Lonely individuals may be more susceptible to inflammation and high blood pressure, both of which are risk factors for heart disease. Additionally, feelings of isolation can contribute to unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as poor diet and lack of exercise, further exacerbating the risk of heart problems.
🧠 Stroke Risk and Loneliness
Like heart disease, loneliness has been linked to an increased risk of stroke. The stress and inflammation associated with chronic loneliness can lead to vascular changes, which may contribute to the development of stroke. Furthermore, loneliness can result in poor health habits and increased stress levels, both of which can elevate stroke risk.
🔍 Dementia Risk and Loneliness
Loneliness has been identified as a potential risk factor for dementia. Social isolation and a lack of mental stimulation may accelerate cognitive decline, increasing the likelihood of developing dementia. Research suggests that maintaining strong social connections and staying mentally engaged can help protect against cognitive decline and dementia.
💉 The Implications of Loneliness for Anesthesia and Surgery
For individuals undergoing surgery, loneliness can pose unique challenges. Specifically, the worsening of pre-existing depression or anxiety due to loneliness can increase the risks associated with anesthesia and postoperative recovery.
In this video, we'll discuss how these risks manifest themselves, including:
Increased postoperative pain: Heightened anxiety and depression can lower an individual's pain threshold, leading to more significant postoperative pain and a higher demand for pain medication.
Greater risk of postoperative nausea: Those with worsened depression or anxiety may be more susceptible to postoperative nausea and vomiting, a common side effect of anesthesia.
Prolonged recovery time: Mental health issues related to loneliness can interfere with the body's natural healing processes, potentially lengthening recovery time and increasing the risk of complications.
This live stream offers a comprehensive look at the far-reaching effects of loneliness on mental and physical health, emphasizing the importance of addressing this issue to ensure overall well-being.
By understanding the risks associated with loneliness, including those related to anesthesia and surgery, we can take steps to alleviate its impact and promote a healthier, more connected society.
