Emerging research from the mycelial underground.
Published in Scientific Reports y e s t e r d a y ,
Adults with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease (PTLD) experienced:
🍄 ~40–50% reduction in overall symptom burden
🍄 ~50–60% reduction in depressive symptoms
🍄 Significant improvements in sleep, fatigue, and pain
🍄 Improved mental and physical quality of life
🍄 Benefits sustained at 6 months.
What was the study you ask?
20 adults with well-documented PTLD underwent two supervised sessions (15–25 mg) with (and this is important!) Structured preparation and integration support and a 6 month follow up. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported. Read the paper yourself for the rest of the deets.
This was small. Not randomized. Not definitive. But still exciting to see.
We know it takes an average of 17 years for research to reach clinical practice, so you won’t be prescribed this by your P*P anytime soon. But even without using this or other psychedelics, it expands the conversation. It acknowledges what many of us already understand — that illness operates on dynamic, interrelated mind/body levels that profoundly shape infectious and chronic conditions alike.
PTLD affects an estimated 10–20% of patients after appropriate antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease. In clinical reality, that number likely underrepresents what we see — whether due to dismissal, misattribution, or patients not recognizing the Lyme connection themselves. There are currently no established treatments for PTLD.
When a condition has few effective options, thoughtful exploration matters — especially when it begins to validate what many of us have known about chronic Lyme for a long time:
Chronic, post-infectious illness is layered.
It’s immune.
It’s neurological.
It’s psychological.
It’s inflammatory.
It’s deeply human.
Psilocybin and other psychedelics are not a magic answer. They are one of many tools that may help us reach complex, dynamic, and hard-to-access aspects of chronic illness — particularly where mood, pain perception, nervous system regulation, inner parts and inflammatory signaling intersect.

Sweet fern fan 💚 One of many local allies we learned about, smelt, felt and tasted last night during our earth medicines school first class ! 🫙🌿✨ I am already looking forward to class next month. I love teaching this medicine to people from all walks of life! Living in relationship with plants is a fundamental part of the human experience. You do to everyday, but there is always more to learn. 🍃👩🏻‍🏫

We opened up the classes to individual sign ups // so peep the topics on page and join us for 1 or 5 of the remaining.
