Medical Marijuana
No site about safe and effective medicine would be complete without mention of medical marijuana, which was recognized by the AMA as a medicine until it was made illegal. The House of Lords in England have written about marijuana and have stated that not a single death can be attributed to its use anywhere on the planet. That would make marijuana the absolute safest medicine available today. Medical insanity could be defined as making the safest medicines illegal and the most toxic ones legal.
Pain Killers
Prescription Pain Killers Are Involved In More Drug Overdose Deaths Than Either Cocaine Or Heroin in the U.S. (July 24, 2006) Research into Illegal Drugs show they can be safer and more effective then legal ones.
Magic Mushrooms
There is now evidence to suggest that an important ingredient in magic mushrooms is capable of assisting people suffering terminal cancer and a release from addictions. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US have found that psilocybin an important element in mushrooms is capable of instilling a deep feeling of spirituality, which may bring about healing, especially for those patients who have a huge psychological baggage weighing them down. The researchers administered magic mushrooms to 36 study participants who had never consumed any hallucinogenic drugs. All these participants were firmly rooted in their religious beliefs. The study found that nearly two-thirds of the subjects felt a unique spiritual experience, akin to the birth of a baby. Even two months after the consumption of the magic mushrooms, the subjects felt peaceful with a sense of well-being.
Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a natural high alkaline herbal drink from the Amazon that is used legally in Brazil by several churches. It is used in a similar way to mushrooms and has some similar effects.
A person experiencing Ayahuasca sessions shows remarkable mental and psychic improvement, comparable only to that sought through intense psychotherapy. Ayahuasca has the power to facilitate significant changes in a very short period of time because Ayahuasca nurtures an essential acceptance and alignment with the simplicity of one's spiritual identity. The resulting change in our values and priorities transforms our presence, our abiding sense of Self.
Every experience reveals patterns and degrees of understanding according to the depth of previous experiences and the participants' level of consciousness. Ayahuasca is not a substance that can be defined through a consistency of effect.
Ayahuasca interacts with the psychological set of each individual (motivation, attitude, personality, mood, previous experiences) and the structure of the setting.
Ayahuasca seems to change in its effect on the brain also according to the outside influence of the setting, a synthesis of the surrounding environment and the presence of one's teacher, even more than the current emotional state of the participant. A person who takes it alone, for example, will have a totally different experience than if taken with some one who can direct the energy created by the Ayahuasca, enhancing its effects and shaping the journeys into transformative experiences.
Only direct experience of Ayahuasca can yield significant information and knowledge about it. Totally subjective in nature, the scientific method, and thus western medicine, are not appropriate reference points for its understanding or use in healing. For sure it has the capacity to confront people with themselves and in this there is no equal when taken under optimum conditions.
