As Parkinson’s cases continue to rise, the race is on for therapies to combat the effects of the disease — and researchers have pinpointed an unlikely source of relief.Psilocybin, a psychedelic compound found in some mushrooms, has been found to improve mood, cognition and motor symptoms in Parkinson’s patients, according to a new study from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).The substance, often referred to as “magic mushrooms,” has previously been shown to alleviate depression and anxiety, which prompted the researchers to explore its potential for Parkinson’s.PSYCHEDELIC RETREAT REPORTS 183% SPIKE IN BOOKINGS AS HEALTH EXPERTS CITE ‘DOWNSIDE’ OF…

Before voting begins, the College of Cardinals will gather for a special mass at 10 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET) in St. Peter’s Basilica. The service, known as “Pro Eligendo Romano Pontifice,” will be led by Cardinal Giovanni Re, the Dean of the College of Cardinals. During the service, Cardinal Re will deliver a homily — the result of conversations with the cardinals gathered in Rome since Pope Francis’ death — expounding the church’s priorities for the next papacy. At around midday, the cardinals will break for a long lunch and a final period of reflection. At 4:30 p.m.…

New York CNN  —  On Tuesday’s episode of the Donald Trump reality TV show, the president of the United States teased “a very, very big announcement… like, as big as it gets” in the coming days. “I won’t tell you on what, but it’s… very positive,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject.” He initially…

CNN  —  Speaker Mike Johnson is running into some resistance from fellow House Republicans on a bill to codify President Donald Trump’s push to rename the Gulf of Mexico. Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said Tuesday he will oppose the vote later this week, which is expected in the House Thursday, complicating matters for Johnson and GOP leaders in their slim majority. At this point in the week, two GOP leadership sources told CNN they still believe the bill can pass, though Johnson cannot afford to lose many more votes. Few, if any, Democrats are expected to vote for the bill,…

CNN  —  Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week, five people familiar with the matter told CNN. It is not entirely clear what happened yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrestment failure as the jet was trying to land on the carrier and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were recovered by a rescue helicopter and are both alive,…

Islamabad, Pakistan / New Delhi, India CNN  —  India launched military strikes on Pakistan on Wednesday and Pakistan claimed it shot down five Indian Air Force jets, in an escalation that has pushed the two nations to the brink of war. The escalation puts India and Pakistan, two neighbors with a long history of conflict, in dangerous territory, with Islamabad vowing to retaliate against India’s strikes and the international community calling for restraint. New Delhi said the strikes are in response to the massacre of 26 people – mostly Indian tourists – who died in April when gunmen stormed a…

By the numbers, India’s military would be seen as superior to Pakistan’s in any conventional conflict. The Indian defense budget is more than nine times Pakistan’s, according to this year’s edition of “The Military Balance,” an assessment of armed forces by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. That budget supports an active-duty Indian force of almost 1.5 million personnel, compared to 660,000 for Pakistan. On the ground, India’s 1.2 million-strong army has 3,750 main battle tanks and more than 10,000 artillery pieces, while Pakistan’s tank force is only two-thirds of India’s and Islamabad has fewer than half of the artillery…

CNN  —  It wasn’t the most contentious meeting the Oval Office has ever seen. Nor was it the warmest. Instead, the highly anticipated meeting Tuesday between President Donald Trump and his new Canadian counterpart Mark Carney fell somewhere in the middle: neither openly hostile nor outwardly chummy, evincing very little neighborliness, at least the type used on neighbors one likes. The midday talks illustrated neatly the new dynamic between the once-friendly nations, whose 5,525-mile border — the world’s longest — once guaranteed a degree of cooperation but which, to Trump, represents something very different. “Somebody drew that line many years…
