I'm surprised how no one seems to research or finding cures to alleviate these serious problems. Is it just impossible?

Is there Stem cell research on reviving peripheral limbs and nerves? Were there any results?

Believe me. There are probably thousands of scientists across the planet working on it. Stem cells have the potential to change medicine, but if it was easy, we would know. Science takes far more failed attempts to progress than successfully ones.

There is so much research being conducted, we can’t possible be exposed to it all. I’ve read a few scientific articles regarding psilocybin activating neuro-pathways in spinal cord injury patients. In one case a young man with paraplegia was able to regain control over his hamstring muscles with the help of psilocybin. It’s neuroplasticity qualities help the brain form and reorganize new connections. Im not saying we’re close to finding a cure, but we’re on the right path

Psilocybin works wonders. It’s also schedule 1 because big pharma can’t turn a profit on something that cures serious permanent issues now can it? If they ever release a version it will be diluted and used for maintenance while you can grow it yourself for next to nothing.

Actually the main problem is, is that big pharma can't patent psilocybin. Psilocybin can't be patented and that's the problem.

It’s even deeper than that, it would really hurt the antidepressant market. They would rather do maintenance forever than cure a single person. Providing a cure to non deadly lifetime ailments isn’t the most profitable thing. How do you even value something like that? Whatever it is it’s going to cause backlash and they damn well know it. So the prudent course is to keep this life changing medication Federally on the same level as crack (I think the DEA has opened themselves to a lawsuit on this one as they have admitted it is medicine and non addictive yet it remains schedule 1 contrary to their own admission)

No my friend, if big pharma can't patent it then they have no interest in it.

Ever heard of mesenchymal stem cells or exosomes? Go to my Reddit profile and read through my Reddit posts. Not my Reddit comments but my Reddit posts.

Here, go here and read the submission statement first before you read the article. You need to learn about mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes.

Th whole fucking worlds bullshit, how can any one person, or group of people, control what I can and cannot put it my body. Especially something natural. We all have one life, we should be able to experience it how we wish

i mean, we are doing stem cell research, is that what you mean?
