The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a combination of antiretroviral drugs for people starting HIV treatment:

• TDF (tenofovir)
• either 3TC (lamivudine) or FTC (emtricitabine)
• and EFV (efavirenz).

​Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)

• Abacavir, or ABC (Ziagen)
• Didanosine, or ddl (Videx)
• Emtricitabine, or FTC (Emtriva)
• Lamivudine, or 3TC (Epivir)
• Stavudine, or d4T (Zerit)
• Tenofovir alafenamide, or TAF (Vemlidy)

LSD The psychedelic drug lysergic acid diethylamide was first synthesized on November 16, 1938 by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in the Sandoz laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. It was not until five years later on April 19, 1943, that the psychedelic properties were found.

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine is a monoamine neurotransmitter. It has a popular image as a contributor to feelings of well-being and happiness, though its actual biological function is complex and multifaceted, modulating cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes.

Psilocybin has phosphorous, our nerves need phosphorous

The Three Minerals You Need to Balance Your Nervous System –

Phosphorus, Potassium, and Calcium.

​Nutrition plug:

​Fruits and vegetables tend to be high potassium sources.

High-protein foods, such as meats, along with dried beans and peas, tend to be high in phosphorus.

Double jeopardy foods that are high in both potassium and phosphorus include dairy products, nuts, seeds, chocolate and some whole-grain foods.

Chapter 26

Digestion:

The mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in subunits so that nutrients can be absorbed.

Ingestion:

The act of taking food into the mouth.

Digestive Tract:

The central pathway of the digestive system; a long muscular tube the pushes food between the mouth ant the anus,

Salivary Glands:

Glands that secrete enzymes, including salivary amylase, which digests carbohydrates, into the mouth.

Tongue:

A muscular organ in the mouth that aids in swallowing

Esophagus:

The section of the digestive tract between the mouth and the stomach

Peristalsis:

​Coordinate muscular contractions that force food down the digestive tract.

Stomach:

An expandable muscular organ that stores, mechanically breaks down, digests proteins in food.

Pepsin:

A protein-digesting enzyme that is active in the stomach

Chyme:

The acidic :soup"of partially digested food that leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine.

Small Intestine:

The organ in which the bulk of chemical digestion and absorption of food occurs.

Duodenum:

The first portion of the small intestine; the duodenum receives the chyme from the stomach and mixes it with digestive secretions from other organs 

Pancreas:

An organ that helps digestion by producing enzymes (lipase) that act in the small intestine, secretes a juice that neutralizes acidic chyme. 

Liver: 

Aids digestion by producing bile salts and emulsifying fats.

Bile salts:

Chemicals produces by the liver an stored by the gallbladder that emulsify fats s they can be chemically digested by enzymes

Emulsify:

To break up large fat globules into small fat droplets that can be more efficiently chemically digested by enzymes.

Gallbladder: 

Organ that stores bile salts and releases them as needed into the small intestine.

Lipase:

A fat-digesting enzyme active in the small intestine

Epithelial cells:

cells that line organs and body cavities; in the digestive tract to absorb nutrients.

Absorption:

The uptake of digested food molecules by the epithelial cells lining the small intestin

Villi:

Finger-like projections or folds in the lining of the small intestine that are responsible for nutrient absorption and water absorption 

Large intestine:

Remaining water is absorbed and solid stool is formed.

Colon:

The first and longest portion of the large intestine, water absorption.

Stool:

Solid waste material eliminated form the digestive tract.

Right/Left cerebral hemisphere:
​

• Functions: Right is Responsible for control of the left side of the body, and is the more artistic and creative side of the brain 

​

• Left Functions: Responsible for control of the right side of the body, and is the more academic and logical side of the brain

Central sulcus:
​

• The central sulcus separates the parietal lobe and the frontal lobe.

​

• Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes by sulci and gyri. The sulci (or fissures) are the grooves and the gyri are the "bumps" that can be seen on the surface of the brain. 

Pineal gland:

• Endocrine organ, the function of the pineal gland was the last discovered.

 

• Located deep in the center of the brain, the pineal gland was once known as the “third eye.”

​

• The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps maintain circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones.

Ventricle:
​

• The ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities (ventricles) in the brain, where the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced.

Thalamus:

• Large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the brain

 

• Several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.

Hypothalamus: 

• Location: Above the pituitary gland and below the thalamus

​

• Function: Responsible for behaviors such as hunger and thirst, as well as the maintenance of body temperature

Midbrain:

Pons:

• Location: Area of the hindbrain that sits directly above the medulla

 

• Function: Connects upper and lower parts of the brain

Medulla oblongata:

• Location: Lower part of the brain stem

 

• Function: Carries out and regulates life sustaining functions such as breathing, swallowing and heart rate 

​Cerebellum: 
​

• Location: Lower area of the brain, below the pons

​

• Function: Responsible for balance and coordination  of muscles and the body

Spinal cord:
​

• Connects brain to rest of the body

• It connects a large part of the peripheral nervous system to the brain.
  

​

• Information (nerve impulses) reaching the spinal cord through sensory neurons are transmitted up into the brain.
  

​

​
The hypothalamus acts as the connector between the endocrine and nervous systems to achieve this. It plays a part in many essential functions of the body such as:
​

• body temperature
• thirst
• appetite and weight control
• emotions
• sleep cycles
• sex drive
• childbirth
• blood pressure and heart rate
• production of digestive juices
• balancing bodily fluid

​

​

• The pituitary gland is a part of your endocrine system.

​

• Its main function is to secrete hormones into your bloodstream.

​Understanding more about CNS depressants demonstrates why mixing alcohol with other medications can be risky. Specifically, these medications cause the messages being sent through the body by the nervous system to slow down in one way or another. As described by Healthline, slowing down the CNS results in the following:
​

• Drowsiness
• Relaxation
• Slowed cognitive function
• Slowed heart rate and breathing
• Decreased anxiety
• Decreased coordination

​Other Benzodiazepines:
​

• Alprazolam
• Ativan
• Chlordiazepoxide
• Clonazepam
• Diazepam
• Klonopin
• Librium
• Lorazepam
• Valium
• Xanax​
