A psychedelic compound may hold the key to longer cellular life

Groundbreaking research revealed that psilocin, the active compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, extended the lifespan of human skin and lung cells by more than 50 percent. This astonishing result has scientists rethinking not only the medical potential of psychedelics but also what it might mean for the future of human longevity.

Psilocin is usually studied for its effects on the brain, particularly in treating depression, PTSD, and anxiety. But this study looked deeper, exploring how the compound interacts with cells at a biological level. To the researchers’ surprise, psilocin didn’t just protect the cells from stress—it significantly slowed down the aging process, allowing them to survive far longer than normal.

Traditionally, aging has been seen as an unstoppable decline, where cells gradually lose their ability to repair and regenerate. Current treatments focus mainly on managing age-related diseases rather than extending the vitality of the cells themselves. This discovery challenges that assumption, suggesting that psilocin or compounds like it might directly influence the mechanisms of aging.

If further studies confirm these findings, the implications could be extraordinary. Skin cells that live longer could revolutionise treatments for wounds, burns, and age-related degeneration. Lung cells with extended lifespans could pave the way for breakthroughs in treating chronic respiratory illnesses. On a larger scale, this research might be the first step toward therapies that extend human healthspan, keeping people stronger and healthier for decades beyond current limits.

This does not mean psilocin is suddenly a miracle cure. Much more work is needed before it could ever be used safely in humans outside the lab. But it is a powerful reminder that nature hides unexpected medicines in the most surprising places.

The discovery points to a future where psychedelics may not only heal the mind but also extend the life of the body itself. It is a glimpse of a world where aging could be slowed, and vitality preserved, offering hope for generations to come.

I’ve been telling people that this is a dangerous drug for over ten years….

A drug widely used to treat nerve pain has been linked with dementia and cognitive impairment.

A new study analyzing over 26,000 patient records has found a significant link between long-term gabapentin use and increased risk of both dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Patients with six or more prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop MCI within a decade.

The risk was even greater among adults aged 35 to 49, prompting researchers to urge physicians to monitor cognitive health in patients using the drug long-term.

Gabapentin has grown in popularity as a less addictive alternative to opioids. However, its mechanism—dampening communication between neurons—may also disrupt critical brain connections, potentially contributing to cognitive decline.

While past research has been inconclusive, this new study’s large sample size offers more weight to the growing concerns. Researchers stress the importance of further investigation to determine whether gabapentin plays a causal role in dementia development or simply correlates with other risk factors in chronic pain patients.
