This should not be possible ๐
An 80-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer's took one dose of psilocybin.
She entered a sleep-like state for 19 hours, but when she woke up:
- she spoke for 5 hours straight
- was able to recognize her family
- hold complex conversations
- dress herself
- regain bladder control
- walk unassisted
This is a woman who hadn't spoken for 10 years. And 5 grams of mushrooms...

Which makes you wonder:
How much of an aging brain is ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ gone and how much is just waiting...
to be switched back on.
