Now your hosts, Nico Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Nico Dahan. Welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to our more balanced and natural wild world to recover our natural health and regain our rights and freedoms. That's a beautiful day in downtown St. Petersburg, 66 degrees. Be in the 70s during the day and 60s at night for the next week. It's a rather pleasant. We've had a really, really good winter here so far. That's for sure. Hope that you're doing well. I wanted to remind you, first of all, to please pick up our Primal Edge, our one-shot wonder, over 310 organic, cell-ready liquid ingredients, all powered by fulvic and humic acid, which makes the good stuff go into your cells and the bad stuff goes out of your cells. And the other thing, of course, is the Health Signals newsletter. I have a brand new issue out here now. This is number 23 for the year. So we've got one more for the year. But this talks about the creepy legal health data hardest thing that Google is doing. And of course, there's a lot more in this thing following the show. Paige is out. She's in the keys. I'm doing some business. And so I'm here by myself. But my first topic here is, you know, this is just around the corner. And you may want to think twice about before you gift your child a tablet or a phone this holiday season, as increasingly research suggests screen time may cause more harm than good. And we're talking about the smaller children on this. But maybe all of them, I don't know. Let's see how the research goes. But watching more than two hours of screen time a day may harm the structural integrity of white matter in preschooler's brains implications for language and literary skills. Children under two years old shouldn't use screens, but even those two and over may have really lifelong consequences of too much screen time during childhood. Now pre-school age children may particularly at risk, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting the use of two to five year olds just one hour a day of high quality programming and even then watching it with them so you can support their learning. Watching beyond this amount could have lasting effects on your child's health and even harming brain development according to a study by researchers at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital Medical Center. Those with greater screen time had lower microstructural integrity of the brain white matter, an area linked with the cognitive function and language. The study involved 47 children between the ages of two and five. Two screen was used, and that's a testing system for children to measure the screen usage in accordance with the AAP recommendations taking into account such factors as access to screens, the frequency of use, what type of context was viewed, context was viewed, and whether co-viewing occurred as in did an adult watch along with the child to discuss the content. A higher screen cue was associated with a greater screen time and MRIs were then used to assess the children's brain, revealing more screen time was harmful to the brain's white matter, particularly in track-supporting language and the literature-arranged skills. The author here, Dr. John Hutton, says while we can't yet determine whether screen time causes structural changes or implications for long-term neurodevelopmental risks. He says these findings warrant further study to understand what they mean and how to set appropriate limits on technical use. Yeah, preschoolers, and we see them all the time. Of course, one of the other problems is that when you're in the screen time, they're not out playing. They're playing on their tablet, you're usually sitting down, and they may not have an adult with them. So whatever they see, they have to interpret themselves. Among even younger 18-month-old children, while we're allowed to view media on mobile devices, we're more likely to have an expressive speech delays with each additional 30 minutes of viewing time associated with greater odds of speech delay. AAP recommends toddlers younger than 18 to 24 months to avoid digital media, except for maybe video chatting. Researchers are only beginning to understand in many ways the screen time interferes with human health. Beyond your brain staring at screens right in comes with risks exposure to electromagnetic fields, EMFs and the Wi-Fi radiation and all the other threats of cell phone exposure. We talk about that a lot on the show. There's also a fact that most screen time occurs with sitting down. Yeah, I mentioned that already. There's no need to wait for more definitive research before taking action to protect your child's health. Use the screen time guidelines as a maximum even better reduce the screen time including television visiting. I know a lot of parents these days are actually taking the TVs out of the house when they have children completely. I have a friend, my friend Lucien Randolph in Orlando, did that with his kids. And I think it's an important step. I think the kids need to be out and about. They need to be learning from things that they can touch and not on a screen. Some school environments such as the Waldorf Exclude All Technology and the classrooms and their students' curriculum. They also encourage the same standards for school or for children at home. This is increasingly becoming a healthy option for concerned parents who are aware of the growing number of unintended adverse effects of EMF technologies. And this applies to adults too. One of the things we're trying to do at our house is also limit ourselves. And it's difficult because your work is involved with screen time. So that means you're involved in these screens. But there are some solutions that you can get to. So, you know, that's a good thing. One of the things you can do is just keep these tablets away. And if you want to induce your child if he's over two, I think you can probably introduce him to some screen time. But do it in conjunction with you. So explaining what's going on, why we use these devices and what they're used for and might stay away from the games and things like that that they have for children on because that encourages them and gets them kind of addicted to the gaming thing. All these simple little games on here really encourage more viewing time. And then it gets competitive too, which means not sharing. So if you want your child to be in that type of world, you need to get them out of that type of world is what I'm trying to say. Researchers are only beginning to understand there's no need to wait for more definite research before taking any action on health. It's also a good idea to establish screen free times and activities for the whole family even as your children enter in your teen years ensure that meal times, bed times and other times are designated as free time for any digital extractions. I think this is important not only for children, but as the research is starting to show that these things can damage your eyes, especially if you're developing now. And it's just our modern living seems to do that for most of our healthy things like eyesight in the city doesn't get enhanced when you're out in the woods. That does get enhanced because now you're looking at a lot of different things your eyes have to constantly adjust to different things because the light is bouncing off the leaves and there's so much more interesting things to see in the woods because you're not used to being there and things are alive and you don't want to see them and you want to get involved with them or in the city it's kind of like all this stuff is just coming in and you're kind of just absorbing it instead of the other way around. Stick around folks, I got a nice some information on mushrooms that we're going to talk about the rest of the show. Stick around. All their nutritional requirements for health in their wild environment. But today our food sources no longer contain the vitamins, minerals and nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy and strong.

727-873-7618 Welcome back folks number here is 877-927-6648 and I'm going to talk about mushrooms and mushrooms have been in my life ever since my dad started taking me out when I was a boy on Saturdays we would either go out in the morning and hunt for snakes or for mushrooms those were the two biggies that we always went for and he gave me a nice education he had many books on them most of them were in Dutch matter of fact that I remember but when we went over to Canada we started looking at those types of mushrooms so mushrooms are having a moment these days and the market goes far beyond the portobello the shitex and the button mushrooms you might find in your produce area Whole Foods named so-called functional mushrooms used for centuries in traditional medicine as one of the top 10 food trends of 2018 extremely erotic varieties such as Rishi and Chaga and Cordyceps and Lion's Mane are turning up in everything from powders to extracts to coffee, tea, smoothies, broths chocolates, face creams and shower gels few sales of mushrooms accounted for nearly $5 billion of revenue in 2017 according to the market research firm Grandview Research and the market is projecting to rise to $7.4 billion in the next three years so the author here his name is Simon Heath not to draw too much from the earthy flavor but instead the idea that consuming mushrooms will make you feel and perform better according to the website Chuck mushrooms provide energy and mood enhancements and increased vitality endurance in Lion's Mane improves brain function and Rishi fights off tumor and cancer growth so there are no lots of studies with this too now there's plenty of companies that sell products that tout mushrooms as a magic elixir dried mushroom powders from Ohm mushrooms for example have an anti-aging property to retain your youthful vibrance and harmonize your longevity with energy and spirit Moon Juice provides brain dust featured on a celebrity's website called Goop it's edible intelligence and will help combat the effects of stress to align you with the cause make flow for greater achievement let's see what else is in here it's possible that some of the compounds have really some remarkable properties as Nicholas Money who's a PhD biology professor at Miami University of Ohio a 2016 review of evidence published in the Journal of Fungal biology found that marketing claims go far beyond what is supported in science so they're making claims that as yet have been unproven but remember a lot of these claims on mushrooms are in our traditional medicine so this is something that probably for a thousand years people have used and have had benefit from so I think that weighs a lot it's a little different than our medical journals saying okay this is alright mushrooms traditionally associated with medicinal properties are not always tasty on their own Chaka which is C-H-A-G-A for example has a taste and texture of tree bark not too pleasant but from a neutral nutritional standpoint the varieties we commonly nibble on and cook are quite good for you edible mushrooms are low in calories one cup of raw sliced white mushrooms is only 16 calories rich in protein and fiber and a good source of vitamin B as well as the minerals such as potassium copper and selenium mushrooms also contain unusual high amounts of antioxidants the agar the lean and the glutathion according to this study at Pennsylvania State University published in the journal food chemistry antioxidants such as these are known for protecting cells from the damage associated with diseases such as cancer heart disease and Alzheimer's and mushrooms do at least have one magic property like people and unlike plants they can convert ultraviolet light from the sun into vitamin D outside of a few types of fatty fish and fortified dairy products mushrooms are the only good dietary source of that essential vitamin the catches that commercial farmers can grow mushrooms inside but you can put these outside then and actually you turn them upside down and let the sun go there just 15 minutes and it will absorb the vitamin D for you you can also buy mushrooms labeled vitamin D in rich which indicates they're exposed to the ultraviolet light but they often cost more so they recommend once you get your mushrooms put them outside on aluminum foil and in about 15 minutes you can get your vitamin D at least 25% enhanced by doing this if you use whole mushrooms you advise laying them gills up that makes sense in addition to eating mushrooms cultures around the world have used them medicinally for thousands of years the Greeks identified the ad humo amadou mushroom as good for reducing inflammation powder rising wounds and this was around 450 BCE oh tizzy the icemen preserved in the Italian apps remember that he was 5300 years old was discovered with whipworm eggs in his digestive system and probably not go incidentally leather strap around his neck threaded with mushrooms that are known to kill intestinal parasites our ancient people really did know lots of stuff that we don't actually know now in fact that's probably being kept of us because our parents don't know anymore and the sharing of a community like a tribe or a larger family these things would be instilled with you because these things are used every day remember in the old day our children were with us 24 7 they're always right there and they're watching what we're doing they're watching what we're cooking they're watching how we hunt how we're quiet it's a different world you need only look at the pro at the physical active effects of hallucinated mushrooms and the toxicity of the poison varieties to understand that mushrooms can have potent biological effects mushrooms produce a lot of interesting chemical compounds that could be defensive fungi produce some of the most interesting drugs pointing out that both penicillin and cholesterol-lowering statins were derived from fungi in the category of organisms that includes the mushrooms so they might be useful in fending off bacteria and other bodily invaders that make us sick one of the best-studied types of medicinal mushrooms is the turkey tail so named because it grows in autumn color of rings resembling feathers that is in humans and animals suggest that a compound of turkey tail may stimulate the immune system in clinical trials the supplement appeared to improve survival for people with gastric or colon cancer and although the evidence is not as strong may also benefit those that have other types of cancers several clinical trials show that a similar compound extracted from the shittac mushrooms extends survival in patients with stomach, prostate sort of a colorectal and colorectal and liver cancers when combined with chemotherapy so these can be used as medicine and in conjunction with some of our modern things other varieties show a lot of promise for most part research has now progressed beyond the test tubes of animal studies those studies have found that with the turkey tail and the shittac compounds found in Rishi mushrooms may strengthen the immune system to fight cancer in most studies researchers found that extract from the shaga mushroom enhanced learning and memory to reduce the inflammation increased exercise endurance and lowered blood sugar and the main mushrooms have been found to speed up wound healing and help repair nerves in injured rats when we get back I'm going to go over a few different types of mushrooms and how you can use them so stick

This segment is brought to you by TFNN.com Welcome back and we're talking about mushrooms right now and certain varieties of mushrooms possess psychotropic properties that have been prized since at least the beginning of recorded time with some scientists even proclaiming that magic mushrooms are the key to human evolutions. That's pretty profound. The fungi kingdom represents a distinct type of organism separate from animals plants and bacteria in the environment and excrete digestive enzymes in the case of mushrooms into the surrounding soil so they make the soil healthier. Mycelium are the unseen parts of mushrooms that extend below the soil strongly resembling neural networks thread like roots known as typhi which can extend from miles around into the earth absorbing nutrients and decomposing organic materials. I'm basically aware of their host needs as the way this author who wrote a book on how mushrooms can help save the world. His name is... I guess it's not important. Paul is his first name. He believes that mushrooms are sentiates devising device enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges. Beyond sentiates Paul explains that mushrooms possess a co-creative consciousness that would benefit humanely greatly to learn how to interface because these externalize neurological nets sense any impression upon them from footsteps to falling tree branches and they can relay enormous amount of data regarding the movements of all organisms throughout the landscape. So they've pointed out seven here there's a new study conducted at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. They tested 11 species of mushrooms that could determine which ones possess the strongest antioxidant formula. Out of the 11 they picked 7. And we'll go down the list here. Let's see. Porcini is the first one. It's a large mushroom with a cap that can reach up to 12 inches diameter. It's a popular Italian cuisine. Porcini mushrooms represent a few different varieties typically reddish brown in color possess a thick skin slightly sticky to the touch. This is a mushroom fruits from summer to fall and you can find them most of the year in specialty stores. There are forage or search for these mushrooms in the mulchy undergrowth of hardwood forests such as pine, chesless, hemlock and spruce. The golden oyster is a mushroom typically cultivated rather than wild harvests making them a great mushroom to grow at home. They grow in virtually anything using straw mats, ordinary compost from these kids that you can purchase from stores. They possess a golden hue growing clusters have a nutty and slightly bitter flavor. I don't know any of these pronunciations but I'm just going by it. These are the velvet kind of brown appearance with small caps. They grow in decayed logs at a mulchy base of the hardwood trees. They have a mild and slightly peppery taste and they're popular among adding recipes because of that. They also grow in clusters and long sturdy stems and smaller in size. The caps are only about two centimeters wide and they form a firm texture when cooked. The oyster mushroom is among the most common and versatile mushrooms. It's easy to cultivate. Oysters grow mainly on decayed wood and possess a slightly sweet anise-like smell. They're called oysters to the similar appearance with the sea creatures. The messalia of the oyster mushroom eat small ringworms and bacteria making one of the most carnivorous mushroom species. Color range from green to pink to yellow depending on the variety. Lion's mane, very popular. It's how it's got its name. It's popular edible medicinal mushroom has exceptional neoprotective powers thanks to its ability to stimulate synthesis of nerve growth factor. NGF is a protein that plays a major role in maintenance, survival and regeneration of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It's known to improve memory and mood. May I take these are found in clusters typically at the base of oak trees. Down here. And it's a polypore mushroom they lack the distinctive gills of the underside of the cap. Multiple caps emerge in layers from a single thick underground stem and they can grow quite large. The entire fruit body can weigh 50 pounds or more. Wow. With a single cap growing as wide as 12 inches in diameter. The caps grow from white to brown and are semi-firm when cooked possesses slightly earthy flavor that takes on its own taste of your chosen cook and medium. They've been researched for years for the health benefits including lowering cholesterol and blood glucose and rats. Shittake mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms and for good reason revered in Asian countries as their potent medicinal properties they have become a symbol of longevity in many cultures. Hardy and versatile they can be consumed raw or cooked and found in powdered supplements of form and in herbal pharmacies. They grow in clusters on decaying hardwood trees and are also commonly cultivated for food and medicinal uses. It's a classic umbrella shape. They're beautiful and sustain a substance or substantial I should say large caps range from white to light brown and white spots. They can reach up to 8 inches in diameter cooking releases a garlic pine aroma and rich earthy flavor and they're also available year round. So a lot of these things are done seasonally but some of them are year round. So it's important really to get some books on it maybe take a class on it. I'm sure if you go on to YouTube and put in mushrooms and you'll find a lot of information on there and of course you have to do your own research to follow up to make sure that the information is correct. There's this guy Paul and here's his name now Paul Stamets S-T-A-M-E-T-S and he had a TED Talk mushrooms can save the world so you can look that up and I'll put the link to that in the health signals newsletter with this article so you can read it on yourself. Mushrooms is great in soups they're good for sautéing you can put them in casserole you can even use them as a meat substitute probably much better than the impossible burger and those things. You can enjoy white all these different ones and just be sure to eat them cooked be very careful about wild mushrooms some of them are poisonous you really have to know what you're doing on this and there's a lot of different mushrooms that give the indication that they look okay but there's always a small indication around the stem or on top of it that tells you it's poisonous so you need to know those things if you're going to go shopping for them shouldn't be a problem because they're not going to sell you the poison ones but if you're out foraging for yourself and you want to learn about these things you need to really take a course or start really studying before you go out there and start eating these things for sure the other thing is while mushrooms may offer maximum health benefits mushroom powders make it easy to enjoy and mushrooms abound to enjoy mushrooms abundantly and frequently so there's a lot of different companies out there doing these things they have this one company from 4-Systemic to 4-Sigmatic S-I-G-M-A-T-I-C they have mushroom coffee alliance main mushroom elixir and more so all you have to do is add a lot of water so a lot of these companies are making these little powder forms which you can make drinks out of them add them to your protein shake shake them over your eggs in the morning whatever you will it's a good way to consume these things so when you get back I'm going to start talking about psilocybin mushrooms because that's in here too so I'll be right back Primal based vitamins, minerals, baddie and amino acids in an easy to use

research behind it psilocybin is a natural occurring psychedelic substance produced by psilocybin mushrooms also called magic mushrooms and with a modern revival of psychedelic research psilocybin has been investigated for its potential to help people overcome depression and anxiety psilocybin is a classic psychedelic that belongs to the family of hallucinogenic tri-tames and the story about psilocybin indigenous use and modern research over the past century is anything but classic there's over 100 specific hallucinogenic magic mushrooms that contain psilocybin these mushrooms go on different parts of the world and have been used virtually for at least 3000 years probably longer despite the recent renaissance in psychedelic research there's a lot of controversy surrounding psilocybin mushrooms of course the legal aspect of it the potential therapeutic effects of it not people not many people know the whole story behind the traditional use of psilocybin containing mushrooms nor about the efforts that produce our current state of knowledge about it excuse me psilocybin is a natural psychedelic found in the this type of mushroom and modern research is catching up with the age old traditional use surrounded by mystery and controversy so the first use of health solutions these mushrooms date back about 3000 years to Mexico they're still being used by the native people in some of those areas for religious ceremonies and healing along with local communities encountered many struggles in the past with this shortly after the European conquest of these territories magic mushrooms were banned for the first time in the early 17th century a couple of centuries past before these mushrooms gained the attention of western society and the doctors there for the first time and they popularized these mushrooms in the fifties after returning from this is a a guy named Robert Wasson he's an American who went down to Mexico and he was experimenting so after returning from an expedition to Mexico he participated in the indigenous Mazatec religious religion he was one of the first westerners to participate and he published an article in Life Magazine saying seeking the magic mushroom describing his experience the article became extremely popular especially in the movement of the time leading many people to travel to Mexico and this is around this is in the sixties of course when marijuana was just starting to be used again and the mushrooms and of course LSD the thing I found about LSD is such a long thing so you don't want to use it very often who has 15 hours especially these days so back in the past I tried it a couple of times felt like I got what I needed out of it but then I tried the psilocybin mushrooms and that was a lot easier because then you're talking about maybe a couple of hours to maybe three or four hours the whole thing may last six hours the beginning part where you don't feel much and all of a sudden you feel energetic and then depending on how much you take you go farther whether you're just energetic and feeling good or whether you start seeing trails and different colors and things like that it's never over the top that I saw but there's a lot of different ones from different parts of the country and they all act a little bit differently that's what I found out for myself in the sixties psilocybin research boomed with over a thousand studies it was both used in both experimental research and psychotherapy some scientists thought that psychedelics like psilocybin modeled madness and schizophrenia others were investigating its effect on creativity cognition and mystical experiences many key figures including Timothy Leary and adults Huxley and Alan Ginsburg were involved in these types of experiments and they belong for psilocybin and become popular with the general public as a re-recreational drug the name of the band The Doors was inspired by Huxley's book The Doors of Perception in which she describes his own theories and experimentations with the drug as recreational use got out of hand psilocybin and other psychedelics were soon banned in the 1970s classified as a schedule one drug the same as heroin and of course marijuana we know that now it's still that way federally psychedelic research became marginalized funding was cut and all human experiments came to a halt so the research that was banned in the 60s was banned as a class one drug and the research stopped in late 1990 scientists began looking at psilocybin once again psychedelics research was revived and a number of scientific publications now is increasing every day although psilocybin remains classified as a schedule one drug scientists have become intrigued by its psychothera potential recently the FDA approved a clinical trial of psilocybin for treatment resistant depression which will be conducted in 2019 I guess it's underway will be the largest clinical trial ever on psychoactive air combination of psilocybin support possible psilocybin may be approved for depression and other conditions in the future but it's too early to see let's see what else it says in here another brain imaging study so lots of different studies being done in here this is one aspect of psilocybin saying that it refers to resetting the brain which may be necessary for therapeutic effects it may explain why the effects of psilocybin persist long after a single dose since brain networks may continue to rearrange themselves after an experiment what happens is you go on this little and it depends on the dosage some dosage is a small dosage and the studies that they're using for depression and anxiety it doesn't really matter what dosage you use it's either high or not but it's the lasting effects afterwards and it appears that these effects last much longer maybe 3-6 months maybe longer than that psilocybin induces hosilogenics it rewires the brain dissolves the sense of self or ego and all just the perception of consciousness that's one of the things it does it kind of diminishes the ego so you're feeling like you're part of everything around you that's one of the things that I noticed with LSD too it kind of makes you in a little bit more control the control really may not be there but the perception is there you can almost say when you move your hand and you see those trails you almost feel like you take that tree and move it over there and everything will be cool those are the kind of thoughts that you have when you have on LSD and psilocybin similar and things like that you certainly uptick your mood and the thing I noticed about it back when I was taking it in the 60s there was really no downside to it so in other words you feel good, you sleep better and it really has a lot of health benefits to it something psilocybin is very useful for understanding the very nature of human consciousness in a study of 8 healthy people psilocybin was given at different doses from very low to very high doses of psilocybin produced a more intense consciousness shift marked by oceanic boundlessness euphoria and depersonalization ego dissolution which may provoke anxiety visual hallucinations and mixing of the senses and a dreaminess and reduced in alertness I'll be right back folks this is the most common trait that we tigers and tigers share if
