I've batched up the Lions Mane I found on our land. It has cleared my head. I started giving it to my cat, who was very sick and had an appointment to be euthanized. In four days, he improved so much I cancelled his appointment. My daughter had a brain tumor when she was 2 years old. At 37 now she is beginning to learn things! It is amazing! We aren't in a study, but would like to be. Lions Mane is a powerful brain regenerator!! I am amazed!!

Eat mushrooms often it makes you a more fun guy!

I just started my lion's mane farm this year!

Thanks for the hard work as always. Love your level headedness.

Love how you cover all sides and aren't afraid to debunk anything. If you think it worth a video, I would really like your take on the high levels of pesticides stored in animal fat and egg yolk.

I have dyslexia - the strongest/clearest symptom is poor memory, to the point that I sometimes scare people with how little I remember day-to-day. (Some of my poor memory maybe related to ADHD giving me poor attention.) I recently take a mushroom supplement, with ground Lion's Mane, and I do think my memory is better but it's not like it's been a wonder drug.

i take lions mane every day. i believe the research just needs to catch up to the the lived experience people have with this mushroom. i certainly feel it’s helping me. i’ve got my grandmother on it too after i noticed her memory getting worse and it’s too early to say for sure but i think she’s may be benefiting from it too. also just started the Stamet’s stack of microdose with psilocybin, lion’s mane capsules and niacin combined.

Thank-you! This sounds like a wonderful supplement to take. I didn't know anything about Lions Mane, until now.

All info is appreciated.

Thanks for the thoroughness of this video!

I really wish I could of given this to my father in law and my step mom in the early days.

Awesome, I love this, thanks!!!

I'm so proud of you Mic

I did a literature review for my senior seminar to get my bachelor degree in this exact thing 😁 I know a couple of those articles in and out. Read them so many times 😅

Reverse? No. Help? Yes. It can definitely help. Mom has had Alzheimer’s for 7 years! She was hallucinating 6 years ago and no longer does in part from lions mane and I know people aren’t going to like this, 6-9 tablespoons of coconut oil and Mct oil. Turmeric and other supplements. Urilithione a.

Thank you for this video!

My mom has Alzheimer's and had to go into a nursing home last month. Her mom died from it. She'll turn 80 tomorrow and I'm obsessed with finding an answer to my family's horrible genetics.

Adding grated courgette (zucchini?) to oatmeal in the morning is really nice! Cook it down a little first, then add the oats and some soymilk etc. It just makes it creamier. Not sure about spinach 😂

Just finished a tasty spinach faux crab dip made with lion's mane!

very helpful

BTW, anybody else eating jujubes? AKA “Chinese Red Dates”? They are the basis of Chinese medicine and hundreds of scientific studies show beneficial health effects in innumerable ways. I get the dried ones from Ha’s Apple Farm in California. Look them up! Sometimes they’re at the L.A. farmers markets!

Thanks for sharing this information Mic and questioning whether Lion Mane can help with Alzheimer because with claims of health benefits of any food it's questionable without accurate & reliable scientific evidence.

Please do more videos on mushrooms! :)

Thanks for the video, I love mushrooms on a daily basis.

Thank you

Even if they don't reliably reverse nerve degeneration, mushrooms are tasty. I love the mushroom coffees. Speaking of spinach in oatmeal, I've been making savory oats with spinach, chickpeas, curry powder, and sometimes mushrooms. I use soy milk and water to cook. I love it.

Mushrooms are indeed pretty awesome.

Oh❤ I used once the experience was strange love your videos ❤

Thanks!

coincidentally i just recently got into growing mushrooms and i grew a lions mane mushroom which was indeed pretty good tasting with a squishy texture but that might have been a result of the way i cooked it. Anyone who is interested in growing mushrooms i would recommend, its very fun especially if your a bit of a gardening type.

What's more important is what NOT to eat for mental health, which is saturated fat - specifically animal based saturated fat. In Asia cases of alzeheimers skyrocketed after the general population adopted western style diet. For overall eat low fat whole food plant based diet 😊

Is there room for this mush? I don't know, mane. Are you lion to us? Ba dum tss! Sorry had to do it.

Having MS (Multiple Sclerosis) I will be keeping my eye for this. I actually didn't know that some mushrooms in general could be helpful. Even if a little bit it can make a difference. Also, regarding the sponsor product, SEED - can that be taken with a multi-vitamin as well? I believe it can but just wanted to know what you may think.

Some of lions manes mechanisms of action utilizes nf-kb, which can initiate an pro-inflammatory cascade. So, long term studies on adverse effects, dose size and frequency, is important.

You should do a video about the amyloid protein situation with Alzheimer's. I read that the major paper about amyloid protein from like 15 years ago was found to be a fraud a few months ago and this could have huge effects on any research since that was based on that paper (which seems to be like 80%).

to me a lot of this stuff is a risk/ reward factor weigh up. Might this not work? sure. but these mushrooms are food and aren't going to hurt you. You either have things stay the same or improve. Having had lots of pills from the doctor that gave me side effects and didn't work, and even the ones that have also had awful side effects. I prefer these chances. there is no way to loose trying this stuff.

Wouldn’t All mushrooms have a health benefit? I try to include them in my diet as often as I am moved to. Big fan of crimini mushrooms but do want to expand what I include. Discovered my local H Mart has more interesting mushrooms at affordable prices.

All glory to the Mushrooms! 🍄

2:01 great disclaimer!

I’ve been drinking mushrooms with gts mushroom alive elixir it has lions mane turkey tail and chaga

@micthevegan can you do a video on MK7 ? It’s looking like that can stop arterial calcification in its tracks and possibly DEcalcify the arteries. It also has a whole plethera of other benefits like lower blood sugar 20-30%, increase mitochondrial output and so ejection fraction, increases bones density, it myelinate neurons, and lots more. But I’m unclear of what are the real substantiated claims vs that which needs more research. My thing was to reverse the calcified plaque. Which mk7 is shown to stop calcium contributing to the endothelial lining, but it’s unclear to me if it can take the calcium of already calcified plaques. I’m also considering doing a water only fast for 7-10 days. I’ve done a 7 day and 5 day fast in the past, but they suck so much for me that I haven’t done them in a while. I just want to do what’s necessary to clear away my arteries. I was vegan in the past for about 3 years. I dropped my LDL from 120-130 to about 72 But I felt tired. So I went back to eating meat and “felt” better, but now my LDL is about 93. I do eat way more veggies and less meat, as I figured tilting away from meat is better, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to not feel tired in my vegan walk. I saw your video stating that vegans, without exercise, lost like 24 pounds within a year I think. So, if that’s true, I do exercise heavily, it’s my meditation. So, maybe I lost too much weight too fast, and my metabolism slowed to account for that rapid weight loss, and with slower metabolism there’s more lethargy? Idk. Also, with the mk7, it’s found in the fats of free range and grass fed animals, and in fermented foods, the highest of which is Natto (fermented soy bean). And this, as I mentioned, increases mitochondrial output. So, do vegans get enough mk7 from diet as compared to meat eaters? Because I’m not a big fermented food guy. I like pickles and relish, but that’s occasional and not a daily staple. I mention this because, perhaps supplementing with mk7 can help me feel more energized???? That could be a stretch. By the way, I did supplement with b12, and omega 3 from algae while being vegan, along with 4,000-5,000 IU’s of vitamin D3. Hope I tagged you correctly. I want to go back to vegan ASAP, but want a plan to mitigate the pit fall of having less energy I had before..

Regarding the reduction of apoptosis: Did researchers have any concerns about this effect in relation to cancerous cells?

I am going to try and cure my dogs dementia, wish me luck

Lion's mane makes me extremely sleepy. Lion's mane + Reishi making my sleep very restful. Getting pleasent dreams as well.

Cordiceps might be a good idea for another video. Look into it. That one is the only fungus of the bunch that may have some scientific backing to some extent.

My favourite mushroom. Extremely tasty. Have been taking them regularly. But I am sceptically of any special health benefits other than the fact that mushrooms are generally healthier than meats.

I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??

Amazing properties in Lion's Mane and other mushrooms. Exercising your muscles also helps with the production of BDNF. It's also important to consider what can be done in the field of prevention, by dealing with the contributing factors to Alzheimer's, such as getting a good sleep, reducing stress, staying physically and mentally active, having good social relationships, avoiding processed foods, and last but not least, avoiding an excessive consumption of carbohydrates. It is for a reason that Alzheimer's is now being called Type 3 diabetes.

This is promising, but I wish there was more clinical research. There just isn’t enough at the moment. I also wonder about any harms from some of these mushrooms.

I've been giving lions mane to my family member who has mental decline. They've been on it for 6 weeks. Not seeing anything earth shattering yet but I see the Japan study was 16 wks so we'll keep it up. I figured it would take a while to notice. They're also on other supplements like plasmalogen, magnesium l threonate, omega 3, and others plus controlling t2 diabetes. From what I've read it's extremely important for us to keep sugars and fructose consumption to a minimum and get those omega 3s up. I've read exercise is good too but old people don't want to have much to do with that.

Lions mane has helped reduce brain fog

Interesting

I do love lions mane!

Like your videos loads very smart and fast good responses..... Ure arguing with very biased tauntolgical arguments.... The neurons of eating dead animals, are in the assimilation of the arguments defendding them.... Tauntologic arguments are just circular veribiage always traced to a direct consistent or compatible incline to the core inclinations. So poision animal eaters.... Will always have arguments to support the grounds of dead animal eating...... This bias occurs because the neurons for the poision animal eating activity is directly responsibke for contriving the arguments..... Instead of using the physical motor neurons the collaterals and using words to fight you..... This is conflict... (confligere - etym) This struggle is circular and tauntological and you are arguing with adrenaline and noreadrenaline and cortisol (i.e. limbic brain fight and flight response brain arguments) This shuts off the wenricks and brokes areas so you cannot get any receptivity nor reasonable nor rational nor compassionate nor intrapersonal skills from people as the limbic brain causes lateral inhibition by increasing milovolts in the neurons of the limbic brain so the neocortex and wenricks areas are disabled via "lateral inhibition". So phonation and interpreting your phonation is actually being said to the deaf ears of the act of poision animal eating itself.... and this act (neurological act) will never be able to listen to you.... further more it will always destabalose the other interwove neurons and (hormones) thus the fight and flight will means your immediately wasting your energy on arguing at the precise moment ... that their incline (animal eating) and your incline (plant eating) misallign or worse oppose.... Because their limbic laterally inhibits reasona nd ration and receptivity.... So you can prove information to us your audience who actually allign with your incline, were receptive.... Yet the opposal of inclines is essentially the root of every conflict (confligere) in all existence...... And opposal first occurs in differences(creative differences or any difference creates the potential for opposability. I.e. different teams can oppose different religions can, the rattlers and eagles oppose in robbers cave yet actually allign better and easier than they oppose, its all about the allignment or misallignment (or opposal of incline) The limbic effect of intrapersonal skills and intellect and ration and reason are always consistent.... even in animal with a flight response or a fight and flight response..... So tell us I like it.... But noine who is not sensorially inducted into eating whole healthy holy plant based food..... ideally raw predominantly ....... because oxidation kills antioxidants and cooking oxidises every phytoenzyme/nutrient known.... will not..... Anyway they will not be receptive to plant eating unless it is already established in their heads... And body and neural network So their neural network has to see, smell chew and buy and wash and cook or chop or munch or prepare and be served and see people served plant based whole food with (most raw ideally) I have been solely raw vegetables for a year and its better, some studies convey this, ask nate diaz.... Anyway i digressed. If there motor neurons and enteric nerves and vagal nerve plexus and receptors (S cells and Chemo cells) and hormones CCK andpancreatic and liver secretions and mandibular plexus and ocular motor nerve and pharygial nerve and hypoglosal hypogastric nerve plexi get sensorial induction to eating plants for healt then people will, have a turn around after three to six months to become keen on plant based whole foods..... As their neiceptors will report less pain and inflamation and more energy, their mind will report better efficiency and conductivity of neural transmissions, their connective tissues will respond better they will be all around influenced by the biological bolstering of their organism as a total.... this is where the plasticty will be myelinated to establish plant based eating as a viaable way of life and even cause a "confligere-bias" against those who lobby , preech and say to eat dead animals and fill the body with toxiemias and argue from the stagnant perspective of a poision animal eater.... Yet..... Know we are all bias...... Every single incline in existence virtually every single one is a tauntologically biased inclination, be the incline a belief; view; opinion; joke; ideal; core value; value; principle; reckoning; reasoning; action; response; reaction; diet; whatever it is is the direct respectable product, of what is already established in the respective persons own head.... Always..... This goes for us too me and you..... I mean you can dry fast and unhingr your brain with the polar opposite of everything in existence otherwise your virtually always biased as am I. Hope your reticular formation alerts your cerebel to calm down and understand the biased people your arguing with and the futility of this..... Otherwise your reticular formation will alert your cerebral cortex and other brain /body areas about the flawed logic of theur arguments which are infact, not logical responses from grown adults like your eyes and ears would have you believe (fuc*ing heuristic)

i had lions mane in a vegan gf spaghetti dish they came from a local grower

Mic! Mic! Mic!

Can you do a video on the book "the great plant-based con"?

I would guess that at best it would slow it down and perhaps treat some of the symptoms

I picked a mushroom off of the ground , at least 16 “ inch top of mushroom is turkey tail mushroom white in color turn it over looks like lions mane about 2 inches thick

My question is did the studies use tablets or powder and if stomach acids effect the efficacy ???

Looks like Mic has a shiner

Who's read "flowers for Algernon"?

I grew one years ago on a seeded straw log. Not for brain enhancement... that ship sailed long ago for me... but for the experience and taste. It was really interesting looking! Kinda jiggled. It was tasty, too. Sauteed it in a pan. I'd only had it dried before, it's called "monkey's head mushroom" in Asian Marts. Thx for the video. It would be tasty if this worked! 🍄

Not heared of this mushrooms before, as I am deaf there is a link with alkcizmers which is frightening, I eat button mushrooms for this reason cut up tiny in curry where can i ge t tthis mushroom? By the way I am not keen on mushrooms!

Flowers for Algernon?

Lion's mane is great

Why iam sleepy after konsumption lions mane 3x time a day?

I need to see how you’re having this spinach oatmeal

Juggling…. Ambidexterity….. memorization, brain training, music, learning languages, etc.

should we be taking 3,000mg of this then accordign to the japenese elderly study

It's got a 'meaty texture. I can make some bomb-a$$ vegan jerky and pulled lion's mane bbq. 🔥

I think microdosing magic mushrooms might work better for Alzheimer’s.

Darn it, I literally bought Seed two weeks ago using MIC15... should've done now when there's a MIC25 :/

Ima make some mock crab cakes with lions mane

can you do a vid on cryptolepis sanguinalenta? It's a very interesting herb.

i really like how deep this guy dives into studies here's my angle - 40 year Veg head and homeopathy chic always took any homeopathic treatment before anyone else lions mane does work -i am now 59 i learned Russian Alfabet in 2 days my dementia father began to REALIZE he did NOT know where he was - so I quit giving it to him body? i have nothing- i am not overweight- however- if the package says take 3 three times a day- no more like 6 pills- on empty stomach lions mane- brain hops go to sleep and stay there sage - rosemary - in the hair no matter the texture most pharmaceuticals started as mimics of plant compounds- like aspirin- copy of white Wlllow bark (salicilic acid) dealing with lady menopause? ditch dairy - anywhere - then realize it is real- and will be over truth then about lions mane- it does something when one takes it- fill your own blood supply (ie) take enough!

Thanks for specifying you bought a mushroom, not a pangolin 😂

💜♥️🌱

My step mother has advanced dementia, which has been getting gradually worse now for 10 years. She still recognises me, but doesn't remember why and she sometimes asks my father if they are married, despite being together for 45 years. I'm eating a largely WFPB diet with no meat or dairy, but I can't find these mushrooms in the supermarket, so I am hoping the supplements work. I'm wary of many supplements these days because it's hard to trust the sellers and they don't always work like the real thing.

can you make a video reacting to Viki1999 on her watching 12 hours of vegan documentaries?

It’s worth noting that the compounds aren’t activated unless they’re put through an extraction process. You can eat fresh lionsmane all you want, but it won’t do a thing except taste great. Ideally a double extraction with water and alcohol is the way to go.

Maybe it feeds off the dead wood in our brains

Growing more cells does mean thats a benefit. Also, if it does grow cells then why the decline after discontinuing?

I love Lions Mane mushrooms. Made a difference with my clarity of thinking and also attempted to grow magic mushrooms and failed miserably! 😂

Sick, demented.

Mix lion with Liberty

It's also said to be useful for MS patients

Ok so the missus has him putting spinach in his oatmeal.... Was going to say something else but i think that sums it up....

I've had no problems since you did this, none whatsoever, if you can help me you can help anybody

12:33 you messed up the animation

There is a trick to cooking all mushrooms, but that applies especially to lion's mane. This has a scientific explanation that I'm not gonna go into. But basically mushrooms, before being cooked, will absorb any kind of liquid medium you try to cook them on, for example, oil. Manes are especially difficult in this regard because they are so spongy. The solution is to pan "fry" them with a sizzle of water, before you cook them. Basically you heat a pan very hot, put in a bit of water, just enough to barely cover the surface of the skillet/pan. Then you put in the mushrooms. There outer layer will change, and aquire a kind of jelatinous layer. This layer will prevent absorption. You only have to blaze them for a minute or so, it's a very fast quimical reaction they go through, but makes a hell of a difference. After that you can pan fry them, grill them, cook them in the oven, etc. They will get coated in whatever seasonings you use, instead of imideatly sucking them and end up grilling. After that trick, a nice way Lions go, is just fried with a bit of butter. WHATEVER you do, NEVER wash any mushrooms with water. Always clean them dry. And NEVER salt them in the beggining, always at the end. Because mushrooms are 90% water and salt will suck it out making the mushrooms boil, instead of however you are trying to cook them.

Truth should be shared 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 👀

Before watching this in going to guess we're taking about studies that aren't double blind, crossover, placebo controlled trials...

Spinach ? Healthy ?😂

OMG. ... ....

Brooo. Where did your vegans are awesome video go!?!?!? :(

This sounds so healthy it's Sickening!

You should go check out Ryan Russo and see how well it "helped" him. If you don't we will call you out for it.
