Understanding The Relationship Between Psychoneuroimmunology and Childhood Trauma : Why It Matters
Childhood psychosocial stressors can impact the development of the immune system, which can then affect the development of the brain and its long-term functioning due to the two-way relationship between the immune system and the brain. Psychoneuroimmunology of early-life stress can provide a novel framework for comprehending and treating psychopathology associated with childhood trauma, based on observational human studies and experimental animal models. Remarkably, several incidents involved once-healthy people who became mentally ill despite not having any physical injuries—the so-called "railway spine."

Interview with a Psychedelic Mushroom Entrepreneur
Author/Interviewer Preface: Charles Bogenberger is a 39-year-old entrepreneur with a BS degree in mechanical engineering, an MBA, and a former colleague. I met him a few years back when we worked for the same large company where he led one of their testing laboratories in Battle Creek, Michigan. At that lab Charles oversaw a staff of 20 plus employees, doing primarily microbiological analysis for pathogens and other microorganisms of concern in foods and the environment. Recently I reconnected with Charles and learned he had moved home to Denver and was now growing psychedelic mushrooms to support the nascent legalized psychedelic medicine movement there. I was intrigued, curious to learn how and why this successful engineer/businessman had chosen to grow what is/was an illegal substance and how he hoped to make money (legally) by doing so. I found his story compelling and fascinating and together we hit upon the idea of an interview to share this unusual story with a wider audience. That interview took place in February of 2024 and was first published in March and then again in November. Since that time, I have continued to occasionally check in on Charles’ progress with semi regular phone discussions. As we approached the 1-year mark of that first interview a follow up seemed in order.
