Episode notes
Cold Vanished During Pyramid Ceremony
- The host developed a full cold the first day in Cairo and found symptoms vanished during a ceremony inside the Great Pyramid while on psilocybin and MDMA.
- Symptoms returned as the effects wore off, prompting further self-experiments the next days.
Literature Suggests Antiviral Potential
- The host found published papers suggesting psilocybin constituents may fight viruses and support the immune system.
- This literature prompted the host to deliberately test psilocybin as a cold treatment during the trip.
Low Doses Gave Rapid, Temporary Relief
- The host repeatedly tested doses and found even a half-gram produced full remission of cough and congestion within 15–20 minutes.
- Relief lasted while the psilocybin was active and symptoms returned as effects faded after 4–5 hours.
