I would enjoy some good tutorials on how to grow lions mane and oysters. And not relying on kits, but learning to do it myself.
Check out The Master ❤! Paul Stamits ❤. ❤Decentralization ❤Don’t die !
@inigo137 there are numerous YT channels that do just that.
It’s easy. Super easy. There are plenty of videos in YouTube about growing mushrooms in buckets
Have you heard of YouTube’s search bar?
Thank you!

bacopa monnieri is a herb that seems to show good results in research for improving memory and cognitive function.
Superfoods have their limitations.

A moist 0m3 preparation to be absorbable.
And having a citronic PH helps greatly.
All your studies, were in powder form.

I used Lion’s Mane for a while, in an effort to boots my testosterone. I experienced weird dreams that disturbed my sleep. However, I do consume a lot of white button mushrooms with no adverse side affects.
The Goodbye Autoimmune protocol by Dr. Brooke Goldner should be top priority for dementia prevention and possible treatment, would love to see that study 🥦🍅🥬🍎💖🎉
I don’t get how we can write off vitamin and mineral supplements such as vitamin A, because they are supplements and not the real thing (thus we should consume vitamin a in whole form; but then we believe that lion’s mane mushroom doesn’t work even though the studies are using a likely old dried powder form of the mushroom instead of the whole form.
Not all vitamins and supplements are the same, some are fine taken in supplementation while others have added dangers of contamination or overabsorbsion. Many vitamins also are part of a huge family of phytonutrients whose magic cannot be traced down to a single element but need to be taken in their original whole food form. To summarise, some vitamins are legit and safe, others are misleading and useless and at worst dangerous.
