Real medicine is so much more than just pills and procedures. One of the best things you can do for your microbiome health, immune health, and mental health is to go for regular walks in the forest: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36328581/

Exactly! It's like a big reset button for the nervous system, and it enhances the gut microbiome and the immune system. I don't think it's a coincidence that many Daoist traditions emphasize spending time in the mountains and forests to cultivate their bodies and minds.

Yes absolutely - and even the structure of those network systems display similar characteristics, the same way they do with other natural sysyems! I think it's very much a microcosm / macrocosm relationship

I like to think of mycelium as the OG DAOs! And yes, absolutely no coincidence that NO is a signaling molecule both there and also in the human nervous system
