The Great Cotzias - Discoverer...

Bernard M. Patten

Dr. Bernard Patten authentically captures in The Great Cotzias the realities of medical research; the petty jealousies, the back biting, the desperate race to knowledge—in short the red thread of life. Using novelistic techniques, we get the details, of the events and the people involved in the discovery of the beneficial effect of L-DOPA on Parkinson’s disease. 
The main character is George C. Cotzias, a Greek born, Harvard educated, hypomanic physician who in his frenetic drive to win the Nobel Prize sacrificed wife, family, friends, and, finally himself. Eventually he makes the discovery that wins him the Laska award, America’s highest honor in clinical research. The discovery proved that so-called hopeless degenerative nervous system diseases can benefit from replacement of natural body chemicals that are deficient with the disease. Worldwide, DOPA continues to be the most often used treatment for Parkinson’s disease to date. 
DOPA had an interesting side effect: Improved Sino-American relations. Chairman Mao of China famously claimed that all political power comes out of the muzzle of a gun. Cotzias proved that political power can come out of medicine bottle—Mao was one of the first patients to benefit spectacularly from the new treatment.

Psilocybin Mushrooms - The...

Marteen Baker

Become an Expert on Psilocybin Mushrooms and Grow Your Own Natural Apothecary!   
A few years ago, public opinion on cannabis was mostly negative because it was considered a hallucinogenic drug.  
Today, the compound of cannabis called CBD is being used to treat serious mental and physical illnesses and has even shown promising preliminary results in treating cancers.  
Magic mushrooms are currently going through the same evolution. Up until recently, they too were considered a drug. Now, published clinical studies claim they can be used to treat anxiety, PTSD, cluster headaches and more.   
The “magical” compound in magic mushrooms is psilocybin, a psychedelic alkaloid that affects the serotonin receptors in your brain. That part of your brain controls various neurological processes such as sleep, anxiety, aggression, and nausea.  
So here’s what you’ll learn with this book: What to prepare for mushroom cultivation, from tools and containments to spores Different types of magic mushrooms and their effectsHow to safely use and dose the mushrooms for healing purposesWhat is psychedelic therapy and why is it becoming extremely popularAnd so much more!  
Don’t be alarmed by the word “psychedelic”. The term was demonized because of its connection to various chemical drugs. However, psychedelic plants and mushrooms have been used for thousands of years, not as a drug, but as a medicine and a way to conduct spiritual growth.  
So forget everything you’re heard about magic mushrooms, and let this book open your eyes to many healing and divine properties of this incredible Mother Nature’s gift to us!
