Psilocybin may help prevent chemotherapy-induced neuropathy in mice
Science reports that as few as two doses before treatment prevented peripheral neuropathy through multiple chemotherapy cycles in mouse models.
TLDR
Science reports that psilocybin, a psychedelic compound, may help prevent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. In mouse models, as few as two doses given before treatment durably prevented the condition through multiple chemotherapy cycles, while preserving nerve function and the treatments’ tumor-killing effects.
