Last summer, thousands of tie-dyed Burners and Patagonia-clad tech founders converged on the MAPS Psychedelic Science conference in Denver. The experience "broke the spell of this trauma, and she was able to rebuild her life," Doblin told The Guardian . The video team's job was to store recordings of every MDMA therapy session performed in the clinical trials. Grof believes in something called an "inner healing intelligence," an innate capacity for self-healing that psychedelic therapy helps unleash. Another time, a patient who had come to an MDMA therapy session later acknowledged they had been under the influence of LSD during treatment.

☆ Multivitamins aren't a 'cheat pill' and not everyone needs to take them, doctor says—focus on this instead
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

You probably know at least one person who swears by taking a daily multivitamin — or you take one yourself. Nearly a quarter of U.S. teens and children, ages 19 and under, took a multivitamin within that same time period. Multivitamins can be taken in several different forms including gummies, capsules and even liquids, which are growing in popularity. The search term "liquid multivitamins reviews" has 6 million views on TikTok. But here's what Ko suggests doing instead of buying multivitamins, if you're generally in good health.

☆ Don't waste money on turmeric supplements—unless they contain up to 95% of this key ingredient

Other health benefits people attribute to turmeric include: Improvement in moodBetter skin when applied topicallyReduced allergy symptomsAid for high cholesterol Turmeric supplements will cost you anywhere between $14 and $30, but are they actually beneficial for health? Should you have a choice between turmeric and curcumin, I would opt for the curcumin. Dr. Elizabeth Ko InternistA systematic review published in 2021 that analyzed more than 10 randomized controlled trials found that curcumin supplements may be helpful for managing osteoarthritis. And earlier this year, the Arthritis Foundation updated its guidance, stating that turmeric supplements likely won't help reduce symptoms of arthritis but curcumin supplements might. "Should you have a choice between turmeric and curcumin, I would opt for the curcumin," says Ko.

☆ ‘The Last Quiet Place’ by Ingrid Laubrock Review: A Jazz Sextet’s Outsize Sound
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Martin Johnson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Perhaps emblematic of complicated economic times, jazz musicians are doing more with less these days, especially when it comes to midsize ensembles. Drummer Tomas Fujiwara , guitarist Mary Halvorson , trumpeter Adam O’Farrill and saxophonist Anna Webber all lead midsize bands that are unusually expansive in their sound. Saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock , a sometime collaborator of Ms. Halvorson’s, follows in this lineage with her new recording, “The Last Quiet Place” (Pyroclastic). Ms. Laubrock, who is 52 years old, chose her title after reading Elizabeth Kolbert ’s books “The Sixth Extinction” and “Under a White Sky.” The themes of global extinction and humanity’s impact on nature led Ms. Laubrock to consider ports of serenity, though they may be more internal than external. Although the saxophonist has participated in numerous sessions with performers who lean toward the softer side, the music here is lithe, sprawling and at times intensely spiky.

☆ ‘The Sixth Extinction,’ by Elizabeth Kolbert

There are psychological barriers to even imagining that what we love so much could be lost — could be destroyed forever. If trends continue, the global temperature will keep rising, triggering “world-altering events,” Kolbert writes. “By disrupting these systems,” Kolbert writes, “we’re putting our own survival in danger.”The earth’s water cycle is being dangerously disturbed, as warmer oceans evaporate more water vapor into the air. The extra heat is also absorbed in the top layer of the seas, which makes ocean-based storms more destructive. They struggle to absorb excess heat and carbon pollution — which is why, as Kolbert points out, coral reefs might be the first entire ecosystem to go extinct in the modern era.
