“Now, the deformed wing virus is being vectored by the varroa mite. It came in 1984 and it injects viruses into bees and so it's like a dirty syringe and these …”

Stamets claims the varroa mite arrived in 1984 and vectors deformed wing virus into honeybee colonies like a dirty syringe.

“there's two clinical studies out of Japan with mild cognitive decline and dementia showing very positive results taking two to four grams of lion's mane per da…”

Stamets claims two Japanese clinical studies show lion's mane mushroom (2-4 grams/day of mycelium) produces strong positive results against mild cognitive decline and dementia.

“I decided that even though it had a history of potentially of killing this child, I think that's a false positive. I think it was bad science. I couldn't find …”

Stamets describes dismissing a documented child fatality linked to baeocystin as 'bad science' before self-administering the compound in an uncontrolled N-of-1 experiment.

“we've entered into 6X, the sixth greatest extinction event known in the history of life on this planet. We've had two other extinction events from asteroid imp…”

Stamets claims we are currently in the sixth mass extinction event and that the prior two mass extinctions were caused by asteroid impacts 250 million and 65 million years ago.

“basically one gram is almost equivalent to one milligram per kilogram of body weight. 70 kilos is 152 pounds. And so at one milligram per kilogram with these m…”

Stamets describes a mouse study on fear-conditioning where microdosing psilocybin (0.1 mg/kg) helped mice unlearn a fear response in only 2 trials versus 10 trials for a full dose (1 mg/kg), and equates that dosing to human gram-equivalents of psilocybin mushrooms.

“In Oklahoma, two years ago, 84% of the beehives died. Now think if you're a cattle rancher and you lost 84% of your cattle.”

Stamets claims that two years before this 2019 taping, 84% of beehives in Oklahoma died.

“Extracts of polypore mushroom mycelia reduce viruses in honeybees. And this mushroom, the amadou, reduces the deformed wing virus 800 times to one with one tre…”

Stamets claims his mushroom extract research found amadou fungus reduces deformed wing virus in honeybees 800-fold and reishi mycelium reduces Lake Sinai virus more than 45,000-fold with one treatment.

“We published in Nature. Only 7% of the articles submitted in nature get published in the nature publication ecosystem. To this day, our article is in the top 1…”

Stamets claims his bee-virus mushroom research was published in Nature, that only 7% of submissions to Nature are published, and that his article ranks in the top 1% of all articles ever published in the Nature ecosystem.

“Fifteen patients, small clinical studies, statistically significant. Ten out of 15 people, after one or two heroic doses of psilocybin, 12 months later had not…”

Stamets claims a Johns Hopkins study found 10 of 15 smokers quit after one or two high doses of psilocybin and stayed smoke-free 12 months later.

“you add 100 to 200 milligrams of niacin. Now, if someone tries to get high by taking 10 times as much, they'll have like two grams of niacin. This is flushing …”

Stamets claims stacking niacin with microdosed psilocybin mushrooms acts as a built-in 'antabuse' deterrent against taking higher, intoxicating doses.
