Our nervous system needs sugar, not too much:

People whose blood sugar is too high or difficult to control are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, eye problems and other complications, including nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy). ...

​“When a nerve is damaged, you may feel tingling, pins and needles, burning or sharp, stabbing 
pain
.”

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.

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.


Chemical Formulas:

Ethnobotany

Ethnobotany is the study of a region's plants and their practical uses through the traditional knowledge of a local culture and people. An ethnobotanist thus strives to document the local customs involving the practical uses of local flora for many aspects of life, such as plants as medicines, foods, and clothing.

long term effects on relying on a drug 



​Drugs teach people that they do not need drugs, eventually. 

​They usually then tell other people that they do not need drugs.

Cocaine blocks the removal of dopamine from the synapse by binding to the dopamine transporters. This results in a buildup of dopamine in the synapse.


In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter—a chemical released by neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain includes several distinct dopamine pathways, one of which plays a major role in the motivational component of reward-motivated behavior.
