Can I source it from you?
Your city/ location?
This is a beautiful mushroom indeed, but it absolutely does NOT cause orgasms in Island women, or any women, for that matter.
The study was very poorly done, the paper lacked references (an absolute must in science) and the entire “study” was funded by Big Pharma, in hopes of finding a female aphrodisiac, told to me by study author Holliday himself.
Since it would be sold in the gray zone of “medicinal mushrooms” vs an FDA approved drug, apparently the standards are much much lower. But if it had worked, we’d already see it on the market. The study was done in 2001.
Stinkhorns STINK, to both men and women. When Holliday attempted to present this garbage to mycological conferences, he was rightly ridiculed.
But apparently, it has found a home in popular media, once again.
Let’s all try a think a bit harder with our marvelous brains, shall we?
Thanks Debbie. This is why we cited it as a claim by an obscure study. I had gone through the paper, and it doesn’t have any methodology, clinical investigation or references. Probably the mushroom works as a placebo 🙂
Cheers,
Jez relax Karen he said it was obscure, i guess you have never tried them so lol
