This item
establishes that Ayahausca is indicated for cancer therapy in much the same way
as Cannabis. Throw in magic mushrooms
and various ways of stripping the psychoactive components as indicated, we have
a rich palette of options to explore and develop as protocols able to tackle
mental disease. This whole sector is now
bending to legalization and pressure from researchers.
It must still
take a lot of time to generate a rational system, but it is no longer outright
hopeless and a couple of successes may even trigger accelerated change.
In the meantime,
individuals are testing various protocols with some unreported successes and I
am also sure some simple failures.
Unfortunately, many of those failures will come from misapplication
during the experiment. It is not that
easy.
Brazilian
Scientist: Ayahuasca/DMT Can Effectively Treat Cancer
January 30, 2014
http://www.wakingtimes.com/2014/01/30/brazilian-scientist-ayahuascadmt-can-effectively-treat-cancer/
Eduardo Schenberg, of the University of Sao Paulo,
Brazil, recently published a piece in Sage Journals, detailing his belief
that Ayahuasca has cancer-fighting abilities, essentially encouraging the
legalization of research in the field.
He says, “There is enough available evidence that
Ayahuasca’s active principles, especially DMT and harmine, have positive
effects in some cell cultures used to study cancer, and in biochemical
processes important in cancer treatment,
both in vitro and in vivo,” and “Therefore, the few available reports of people
benefiting from Ayahuasca in their cancer treatment experiences should be taken
seriously, and the hypothesis presented here, fully testable by rigorous
scientific experimentation, helps to understand the available cases and pave
the way for new experiments.”
“In summary, it is hypothesized that the combined
actions of β-carbolines and DMT present in Ayahuasca may diminish tumor blood
supply, activate apoptotic
pathways, diminish cell proliferation, and change the energetic metabolic
imbalance of cancer cells, which is known
as the Warburg effect,” Schenberg wrote. “Therefore, Ayahuasca may act on
cancer hallmarks such as angiogenesis, apoptosis, and cell metabolism.”
“If Ayahuasca is scientifically proven to have the
healing potentials long recorded by anthropologists, explorers, and
ethnobotanists, outlawing Ayahuasca or its medical use and denying people
adequate access to its curative effects could be perceived as an infringement
on human rights, a serious issue that demands careful and thorough discussion.”
Similar to the way cancer has been successfully
treated with cannabis oil, or vitamin B-17 from the apricot pit, it is emerging
as a viable possibility that Ayahuasca is another herbal, ancient cure to disease found in abundance in the
new world of synthetic consumption.
Ayahuasca, as many viewers of this article likely
know, is a psychoactive, ancient, sacred ancient brew, with deep roots in South
American shamanic practice. Since at least 500 BC, South American shamans have
used Ayahuasca for ceremonial purposes, and as a medicine of many functions.
Many people believe that DMT is created in the
pineal gland of human beings when we dream, when we are born, and when we die.
Critics of this theory say there is no evidence to back up these claims, but as
of 2013, studies from the University of Michigan have shown that indeed dimethyltryptamine
is created in the pineal glands of rats, and with the biological similarities
us mammals share, it is very likely that DMT is synthesized in our pineal
glands as well. According to Dr. Rick Strassman, author of the critically
acclaimed book DMT- The Spirit Molecule, the human body metabolizes DMT rapidly, almost
eager to consume the substance. Seretonin, the primary source of pleasure for
us human beings, created in our brains and bodies daily of course, is
5-hydroxytryptamine, almost chemically identical to dimethyltryptamine. Yet,
the US government classifies this molecule that may be part of our very being,
as a schedule I, highly illegal drug.
DMT is a very complex substance, with complex
experiences had by those who consume it, complex origins, and many, many functions.
One must do their own hard research on Ayahuasca and DMT, as explaining a good
depth of it would be too much for this article. Many of you who have read this
far, probably already know what you need to know about Ayahuasca/DMT, as the
popularity of it is skyrocketing.
Adam Winstock, founder of the Global Drugs Survey,
claims the drug has ‘a larger proportion of new users’ compared to these other
powerful drugs.
He says this suggests ‘its popularity may increase’.
It should be noted that Ayahuasca/DMT has
characteristics similar to almost no ‘drugs’ except perhaps psilocybin
mushrooms. Psilocin (what psilocybin metabolizes into), is also almost
identical to chemicals already in our brains, similarly metabolized quickly by
the body, more characteristic of a vitamin than an intoxicant.
For the viewers of this piece who do not already
know, Ayahuasca is a brew consisting of many different psychoactive plants,
including dimethyltryptamine containing foliage, and MAOI inhibiting plants
that make the DMT active when ingested orally, namely the root bark of the
Caapi vine. Caapi root bark contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors, harmala alkaloids.
The DMT in Ayahuasca is primarily found in the leaves of the Psychotria Viridis
plant, or the seeds of Syrian Rue, or both. Similar to cannabis’ ancient, rich
history as a medicine, Ayahuasca has been a fundamental part of indigenous
cultures in South America, namely the Amazonian rainforest and Peru, for
thousands of years.
Ayahuasca is not typically looked at as a tool to
treat cancer. More often, people decide to drink Ayahuasca or ingest DMT in
pursuit of life-changing experiences, epiphanies, to visit unexplored corners
of the mind, in hopes of easing a wide range of psychological ailments and
problems.
More often than not, people who consume
Ayahuasca/DMT report extreme mental clarity after the experience, a
difficult-to-explain sense of well-being, as if the substances organized the
user’s subconscious and rarely touched areas of the brain.
It seems that simultaneously with all the other ways
we are seeing a global paradigm shift, there is a shift taking place in the
realm of medicine. After about a century of criminalizing plants and
mind-altering products of the earth, people globally seem to be taking great
interest in the Earth’s treasure chest of medicine in botany and nature, no
longer concealed from us or alleged to be dangerous by proponents of
pharmaceutical monopolies. Scientists such as Eduardo Schenberg will surely
press on in their work, as the massive surge in popularity for these things
grows exponentially. If you skipped the part of this article in which I
explained the basics of Ayahuasca/DMT because you are already familiar with it,
you are likely part of this very paradigm shift.
As could go without saying, more research and
uninhibited analysis of Ayahuasca’s effect on human beings is necessary to
understand the effectiveness of it as a treatment for cancer and who knows what
else. The World Wide Web increasingly seems to push truths to the surface of
the minds of those who pay attention, while false info can quickly debunked
with little effort. This is the paradigm of our world in 2014.
