You might expect 35mg psilocybin from 1/8 oz of mushrooms, which is a pretty mid to high, all day trip dose. So 25mg is strong but definitely not "ego death" strong.

I just took him at his word that it was FAPI & was asking if it is available in the US - also I favor PET as a modality b/c it's quantitative. No judgement on a particular tracer.

Good luck with the surgery! You probably got Octreoscan which is used for NET - it's SPECT imaging which is generally worse that PET, but (until now) there wasn't a good PET tracer that works in NET. Awesome to hear a story of how this new tracer could really help patients.

Seems like in certain tumor types it's better than FDG - still looking into it myself. Is FAPI available in the US already?

Thanks for sharing. You got FDG PET ("older") as well as FAPI? Are you in the US? Curious if FAPI is already in wide use.... does FDG not work that well for NET ?

You're right but that's an additional layer of abstraction - check out the article / paper, they built a 6-bit "computer" using DNA and DNA superstructures only.

You're saying suicidal ideation is "the natural state"?

Not yet. I think they're well (more?) aware of potential consumer backlash.

The analysis of your sequence is key. While there are some open source resources (hard for non-experts to use), the big consumer testing companies far and away have better analytical tools.
