🚨 Research shows psilocybin can extend the lifespan by over 50%.
Breakthrough research reveals that psilocybin can extend the lifespan of human cells by over 50%, signaling a potential new frontier in longevity science.
Researchers at Emory University and Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin, can dramatically delay cellular senescence, the process where cells stop dividing and begin to age. In preclinical trials, human skin cells treated with the compound lived 51% longer, while fetal lung cells saw a staggering 57% increase in lifespan compared to untreated samples. These findings suggest that the impact of psychedelics may extend far beyond the brain, potentially influencing the fundamental biological pathways that govern how our cells resist stress and decay.
The study's results were even more pronounced in live subjects, where aging mice receiving monthly psilocybin doses showed an 80% survival rate compared to only 50% in the control group. Beyond mere survival, the treated mice exhibited fewer outward signs of physical decline, such as fur whitening and deterioration. While scientists caution that these results are based on early animal and laboratory models, the data opens a provocative new chapter in aging research, suggesting that compounds once reserved for mental health treatment could one day play a role in extending biological life.

@Sysco Hello 👋 Do you have any discounts codes for #expowest 2026? Are usually go as independent broker, but I have not received any discount codes from any of the people I deal with, so I’m just reaching out, thank you I would appreciate it.
I want to make a clear statement regarding cough syrup use in children and in general. This is especially for those idiotic physicians who still prescribe cough syrups for children even in 2025.
Please stop prescribing cough syrups to children, especially in a country like India where public healthcare is not evidence based and proper vigilance and scrutiny of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines is zero.
The routine use of conventional cough syrups is not recommended due to limited benefit and safety concerns. Most guidelines advise supportive care and highlight that cough in children is usually self-limiting. Overall, major guidelines suggest against routine OTC cough/cold meds for common-cold cough in kids. Honey (>1 yr.) is reasonable; otherwise supportive care.
Age related recommendations:
Under 4: skip cough syrups.
4–6: avoid, especially opioid cough syrups.
6–11: can be used cautiously, but evidence is very limited. Again never use opioids; avoid benzonatate.
12–17: no opioids; even dextromethorphan use should be cautious because abuse risk of this is high in this group.
Adults: routine cough syrups aren’t recommended.
≥65: avoid sedating/anticholinergic combos; check interactions; always favour non-drug options.
What actually helps
Honey (for anyone >1 year) for a few days at night time can modestly ease cough.
For those thinking that "natural" options are better, please avid OTC Ayurvedic and Herbal cough syrups because [1] they contain multiple herbs that can interact in the body and cause organ damage or interact with other medicines to cause harm and [2] they are not adequately tested for safety or benefits and are directly marketed without evidence and [3] the doses mentioned in those Ayurvedic bottles are not scientifically identified, but the company's arbitrary doses, which may not be safe for all, or all ages. Read the label!
And for those thinking herbal is unsafe, so lets go with Homeopathy cough syrups, please don't even tough those with a 10ft pole because not only they have multiple herbs, but also high levels of alcohol which is never safe for children or adults and will have high chances of misuse/ addiction later on. Read the label!
