The Hallucinogenic Fungi That May Treat Alzheimer’s

The video explores the dual nature of ergot fungi, known for both its toxic and medicinal properties. Historically, ergot caused severe symptoms due to its alkaloids but was also used to induce labor. Modern medicine has harnessed these compounds for treating conditions like migraines, Parkinson's, and potentially Alzheimer's and diabetes. However, long-term use can lead to side effects like fibrosis. Research continues to explore new medical applications of ergot alkaloids.
