We lost a very very special Healing Warrior! Long may Pamela's legacy shine!

Pamela Javid Haymes, an everyday hero and co-founder of Cancer Playbook, has gone to be with Jesus. We know, without a shadow of doubt, that she heard, “Well done, my child,” as she entered the gates of Heaven.

Javid dedicated her life to helping hundreds of patients, asking for nothing in return. She was wise, hopeful, and a mentor to our team, and her legacy will live on within us.

Our hearts are heavy for the loss of our friend, and for the family, patients, and community she leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Javid. You will not be forgotten.

✨ Happy Shr🍄m Day! ✨

On 9/20, people worldwide mark a moment for connection, reflection, and change. Research shows promise, communities gather, and activism keeps building momentum.

Yet platforms keep trying to erase the conversation — hashtags blocked, posts hidden, searches buried. Still, like a network beneath the surface, voices keep spreading.

Today is about sharing art, ideas, and solidarity in ways the filters can’t stop. The message continues to grow, no matter how many barriers are placed in its path.

🧠 World-first brain scans reveal how L*D reshapes the human brain

For the first time, scientists have captured detailed images showing exactly how L*D alters brain activity, offering groundbreaking insights into the neural basis of psychedelic experiences.

Researchers at Imperial College London, in collaboration with the Beckley Foundation, gave L*D to 20 healthy volunteers and used advanced brain imaging techniques (fMRI and MEG) to map changes in activity. The results showed that L*D dissolves the brain’s usual compartmental boundaries, creating a far more integrated and interconnected network.

This reorganization helps explain L*D’s signature effects—visual hallucinations, heightened emotions, and profound shifts in consciousness. Remarkably, even with eyes closed, participants reported vivid dreamlike visions, traced to increased communication between the visual cortex and memory-processing regions like the parahippocampus.

Music amplified these effects, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic enhancer in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Scientists believe this research could pave the way for novel treatments for depression, addiction, and other mental health disorders by “resetting” entrenched brain patterns.

Once a counterculture icon, L*D may now hold the key to unlocking both mental healing and deeper mysteries of human consciousness.

Your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts.

When you think stressful thoughts, you activate transcription factors that turn on inflammatory genes. Inflammatory thoughts create inflammation in your body.

This stress response system evolved to help us survive acute threats - like running from a saber-toothed tiger. Your body floods with cortisol, blood sugar spikes, heart rate jumps. Perfect for short-term survival.

Stress is simply the perception of a real or imagined threat. Same input, different perception = completely different physiological response.

The solution isn’t avoiding stress - it’s changing your relationship to it. How you discharge it. How you perceive it. Your thoughts are literally your medicine or your poison. Choose wisely.

A psychedelic compound may hold the key to longer cellular life

Groundbreaking research revealed that psilocin, the active compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, extended the lifespan of human skin and lung cells by more than 50 percent. This astonishing result has scientists rethinking not only the medical potential of psychedelics but also what it might mean for the future of human longevity.

Psilocin is usually studied for its effects on the brain, particularly in treating depression, PTSD, and anxiety. But this study looked deeper, exploring how the compound interacts with cells at a biological level. To the researchers’ surprise, psilocin didn’t just protect the cells from stress—it significantly slowed down the aging process, allowing them to survive far longer than normal.

Traditionally, aging has been seen as an unstoppable decline, where cells gradually lose their ability to repair and regenerate. Current treatments focus mainly on managing age-related diseases rather than extending the vitality of the cells themselves. This discovery challenges that assumption, suggesting that psilocin or compounds like it might directly influence the mechanisms of aging.

If further studies confirm these findings, the implications could be extraordinary. Skin cells that live longer could revolutionise treatments for wounds, burns, and age-related degeneration. Lung cells with extended lifespans could pave the way for breakthroughs in treating chronic respiratory illnesses. On a larger scale, this research might be the first step toward therapies that extend human healthspan, keeping people stronger and healthier for decades beyond current limits.

This does not mean psilocin is suddenly a miracle cure. Much more work is needed before it could ever be used safely in humans outside the lab. But it is a powerful reminder that nature hides unexpected medicines in the most surprising places.

The discovery points to a future where psychedelics may not only heal the mind but also extend the life of the body itself. It is a glimpse of a world where aging could be slowed, and vitality preserved, offering hope for generations to come.

This!

What if I told you we could reduce violence by 91% with something as simple as better food?

Dr. Stephen Schoenthaler’s groundbreaking research across 12 juvenile facilities involving over 8,000 teens revealed a 47% average reduction in documented offenses, violence, theft, verbal aggression, and defiance all plummeted.

But here’s where it gets remarkable: Many of these kids were severely deficient in iron, magnesium, B12, and folate; nutrients essential for proper brain function. When researchers provided targeted supplements, violent acts dropped by 91% compared to controls.

Imagine applying this to:
→ School breakfast programs before testing
→ Hospital meals for psychiatric patients
→ Prison rehabilitation programs
→ Community centers in high-crime areas

We’re talking about transforming the entire criminal justice system, education outcomes, and community safety through nutrition and using food as medicine.

When we provide nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory whole foods and correct deficiencies, we’re building better brains, stable moods, and functional communities.

"If the narcs think I'm gonna stop baking brownies for my kids with AIDS, they can go f--k themselves."

As the AIDS epidemic ravaged San Francisco in the 1980s, Mary Jane Rathbun delivered her "magical" brownies — baked with ma*****na — to hundreds of patients in order to ease their symptoms. Known as "Brownie Mary," Rathbun had been making ma*****na brownies since the 1970s, and she realized the drug could help AIDS patients with symptoms like pain and nausea. "My kids need this and I'm ready to go to jail for my principles," she declared. "I'm not going to cut any deals... If I go to jail, I go to jail."

Get slow!

Far from being about laziness or doing less for the sake of it, slow living is about doing things deliberately and mindfully. Whether it’s how you eat, work, travel or connect with others, slow living invites you to live with purpose and presence.
