Groundbreaking Treatment for Severe COVID-19 Using Stem Cells – “It’s Like Smart Bomb Technology in the Lung”
Mesenchymal cells not only help correct immune and inflammatory responses that go awry, they also have antimicrobial activity and have been shown to promote tissue regeneration.

Pivotal mental states
We highlight how certain natural inducers of stress such as social isolation, starvation, atypical breathing, sleep deprivation, extreme body temperature and pain can be intentionally manipulated for the purposes of personal and/or spiritual development, presumably by promoting endogenous psychedelic-like signaling and we review several cross-cultural, historical and modern examples of such manipulation.
This paper has proposed that certain traumatic, spiritual, psychedelic and psychosis-relevant experiences can be viewed as examples of what we call PiMSs: transient, intense hyper-plastic states of mind and brain that have the potential to mediate rapid, major and potentially enduring psychological change.
Before the relatively recent advent of secular psychology, religious traditions provided useful resources to prepare and guide individuals through PiMSs, for example, for purposes of self-transformation and growth. Note, in this regard, religions have excellent narrative and infrastructural resources for dealing with ‘psychological rebirth’ .
In modern secular environments, we presently lack the same quality of integrated support, shared values and unified vision. Thinking towards the future, consideration could be given to the value of creating humanistic contexts supportive of positive self-transformation.

Alterations in glutamate and the experience of ego dissolution with psilocybin
“ higher levels of medial prefrontal cortical glutamate were associated with negatively experienced ego dissolution, lower levels in hippocampal glutamate were associated with positively experienced ego dissolution. Such findings provide further insights into the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of the psychedelic, as well as the baseline, state. Importantly, they may also provide a neurochemical basis for therapeutic effects as witnessed in ongoing clinical trials. “
