How do shrooms work?

Here's an interesting article from the New Scientist on how Prozac helps with depression. The key idea is that the chemical gets into the blood stream quickly but it takes three to four weeks to see an effect. This is because the Prozac induces a secondary chemical that helps the brain regenerate neurons in the hippocampus, a three to four week process.
The reports on shroom therapy have the same thing in common. It can take two or three doses and several weeks before it becomes fully effective. Could the psilocybin be inducing some kind of secondary chemical that helps the brain regrow neurons or other cells and heal itself?

Interesting spot Paul. I'm currently working on a theory based around this hypothesis, mainly to do with the pineal gland.
Early days yet, but a lot of data is coming together, just need to bounce a few things off Floridian

Thanks very much for the article Paul.
It is possible IMHO that there is some "healing effect" going on. The fact that many people are able to spread out their maintenance doses and still remain cluster free leads me to believe that the dose is doing more than just "maintaining" things. If this was the case, I'd think these people would need to stay on a regular maintenence schedule and not be able to spread them out longer each time.
What confuses the issue a bit is that many people begin to get lighter and further spaced cycles as they get older, even without the shroom treatment. So, it could just be a coincedence but the expanding necessity for a maintenance dose appears for most shroomers and not just us old-timers.
All very interesting with answers somewhere in the future.........as long as the research continues.

I used to have to dose every 3 months. Now 12 years on I can dose every 2 years. The last time I dosed was April 1993, hopefully I'll set a new record. I've had 2 phantom episodes since April 1993, both during the past year and both 7 months apart which fits my original cycle. BUT nothin over a kip 2 and both episodes terminated on their own.

I assume that the 1993 is a typo and you really mean 2003?

Shrooms, when put together shide by shide, work to create a Shouse. In between each shroom are shwalls with shdoorways cut out. Inside a shroom you put appropriate shfurniture for its intended use. For example one shroom might be a bedshroom, or a shkitchen, or maybe even a dining shroom, or a bathshroom. They are covered by a shroof that might have shingles covering it. Ideally you would have it surrounded by a beautiful green shlawn with a shdriveway with a sharage to put your shcar in it.
