The ancient Etruscans had developed a severe form of punishment for their prisoners by tying them to a rotting corpse and allowing them to walk around day and night until the fungal infected carcass’s organisms had started to putrefy the living person’s body.
We are told by Aristotle that “at the time, that we are punished much as those were who once upon a time when they had fallen into the hands of Etruscan robbers, were slain with elaborate cruelty; their bodies, the living [corpora viva] with the dead, were bound so exactly as possible one against another: so our souls, tied together with our bodies as the living fixed upon the dead.”
Aristotle compares the state of the soul imprisoned in the body, to the Etruscan pirates joining dead corpses to living ones.
The story is further related by Virgil in The Aeneid who says that the Etruscan king Mezentius, “went so far even as to tie dead bodies to living persons, hand to hand, face to face, as a kind of torture, thus inflicting a slow death to these beings who liquefied themselves into pus and rot, in a miserable embrace.”
The meaning of putrefaction is the process of decay or rotting in a body or other organic matter by the action of living microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and protozoa). We can now say that corpse is far from dead when viewed at the microorganism level of fungi/molds and bacterias.
Hence, the living dead.
This form of Etruscan punishment is impressive given that the corpses organisms become one with the living forming a necrotic bond via a fungal infection that enhances the decomposition of the living, making them “become one.”
I believe the infected must do as Reza Negastrani says in The Corpse Bride: Thinking with Nigredo, “a pact with putrefaction must be made; the moment of nucleation with nigredo and Nupta Contagioso or Nupta Cadavera, which suggests a marriage with the diseased or the dead: a forcible conjugation with a corpse, and consummation of marriage with the dead as a bride.”
Negastrani writes;
“Yet more ambitiously, this fragment subtly points to a moment in philosophy when both the philosophy of Ideas and the science of being qua being are fundamentally built upon putrefaction and act in accordance with the chemistry of decay.
It is the moment when beings must undergo necrosis and decay in order to remain in being and the Ideas must be founded on intensive necrosis and an extensive decay in order to remain in their essence and to synthesize with other Ideas.
In other words, this moment marks a necessity for Ideas – even the Idea of ontology itself:
In order to be active intensively and extensively, inwardly and outwardly, the Idea must first be fully necrotized and
blackened on all levels, intensively and extensively.
The following is a disorganized venture – more in line with grave robbers and necrophiles than with archaeologists and scholars of history – to disinter the twist inherent to the fragment associated with Aristotle and to delve into the moment when, prior to all arrangements and establishments, a pact with putrefaction must be made; the moment of nucleation with nigredo, as we must call it.”
Negistrani tells us that this practice was revived during the reign of the Roman Emperor Marcus Macrinus, the notoriety of this atrocity survives antiquity and the Middle Ages. In the sixteenth century, the horror of this torture is expressed, once again, by a popular emblem called Nupta Contagioso showing a woman being tied to a man plagued by syphilis, at the King’s order.
Today, we can say that by default, through arrested development, lack of knowledge, and subsequent ignorant health and spiritual choices, many people in the West have taken it upon themselves to nucleate with nigredo, and by doing so, many make a spiritual pact with putrefaction.
When I look around our current world and see the drug addiction and lifestyle choices are causing people to putrefy and rot from the inside out as if they have become de-facto married to nigredo – AKA fungal infections that then infect our children and the culture from the very black goo that the unseen filaments that are wrapping around our souls feed upon through horizontal gene transfer.
Instead of making a pact with God, a pact is forged with the demonic fungi necrotizing our culture from the inside out, one person and one soul at a time. The So Below, As Above through the GI tract of its victims as it passes the blood-brain barrier for the battle of the Neursphere for the planet’s Noosphere. It is here where life’s eternal laws reside and the true legislators of our existence who in Christian literature is known as the devil and his legions of demons hand down sentences of death to those souls deemed unworthy, where their reality is akin to living hell as they are tortured and eaten alive.
To cope with their fate, these people who were forcibly putrified to start rotting while alive must make pacts with the intelligent demonic fungi/molds that are now taking over their minds and souls.
But unlike Negastrani’s idea of “a marriage with the diseased or the dead: a forcible conjugation with a corpse, and consummation of marriage with the dead as a bride.”
I would say that it is a forcible conjugation with decay or the devil, and consummation of marriage with the living dead as “their bride.”
Nucleation with Nigredo: A spiritual pact with putrefaction or marriage with the So Below who has taken its bride on the As Above.

During the 1970s through the 1990s, it was reported that impure brown heroin contaminated with fungi was causing fungal infections within users, according to Stuart Levitz, MD, professor of medicine and microbiology & physiological systems at the University of Massachusetts.
Dr. Levitz explained;
“During that period, the heroin supply was relatively impure, and people would use lemon juice to dissolve it,” said Levitz, whose research and clinical interest is in fungal infections. “It was believed the lemon juice got contaminated with candida, and drug users were injecting candida into their bloodstream and getting Candida infections. But, the problem went away when the heroin supply became much purer.”
According to the 2018 study by the University of Massachusetts Medical School and published by the CDC, infectious disease, Levitz and his colleagues identified a re-emergence of fungal infections associated with illicit intravenous drug use in a review of candida in patients at UMass Memorial Medical Center. After analyzing198 cases of fungal infections over a 7 year period in patients 14 or older. (1,2)
An unexpectedly large number of patients, 24, had a history of illicit intravenous drug use.
“The take-home point from the study is not necessarily that we compared 24 patients with intravenous drug use to 174 without. It’s the fact that we had 24 patients who were using IV drugs and suffered from Candida infections,” Levitz added. “In addition, nine of the 24 cases were in the last year of the study in correspondence with the surging opioid crisis.”
The researchers concluded, “These cases emphasize that in addition to overdoses, infections remain a serious cause of illness and death for intravenous drug users.”
Interestingly, many of the mental issues and drug psychosis that drug addicts complain of can be easily connected to symptoms associated with a fungal infection. For example, many addicts complain of bugs, parasites, and or mites biting them and eating their organs, such as their brains.
These symptoms are common with METH, cocaine, and heroin addicts, and they are all different drugs. That is why I contend with my supporting research that it is not the drug causing these health conditions and mental illnesses, but the fungal infection within users as a result of doing the drug.
When you look at before and after images of addicts, it does not matter if they are heroin addicts, meth addicts, or cocaine addicts, they all start to “look the same and act very similar or the same”.
Here are some before and after images of heroin addicts.
Now, this is a cocaine addict.
And Meth addicts all look very simlar or the same, which I contend is because they all have fungal infections.
It has been well documented for several decades in the U.S. that systemic candida infections cause skin lesions and even brain abscesses, so heroin addicts, just like METH and other addicts who are complaining of these symptoms, should not be automatically considered crazy and or psychotic by ignorant doctors who have not read the science.
The facts are that obtaining a severe fungal infection from using drugs has been well known for decades in the United States. For example, astudy from 1992 discovered that drugs like heroin are already infected with various genus’ of microscopic fungi even before it gets to the nose, lungs, and or blood of a user. Meaning, that when a heroin addict snorts, smokes, and or injects it, they are also injecting the live fungi that are already growing on the heroin into his or her bloodstream.
The researchers studied “the fungal spectrum of brown and white heroin and cocaine sold in the streets of Spain to analyze the extent of adulteration, as well as their toxicological potential. They found that of the 205 drug samples cultured in the appropriate medium grew 91 colonies of micellar fungi from 53 taxa, of which only 8 were found in the 3 types of drugs.”
“Statistical analyses revealed brown heroin to be significantly more contaminated by fungi on the basis of numbers of colonies per milligram of sample than the other two drugs. Forty-five of the 54 taxa isolated were found in brown heroin, with 275 colonies,” according to the study.
Samples of white heroin contained 68 colonies of 18 taxa, while cocaine samples included 48 colonies of 13 taxa. The potential pathogenicity to man of the different isolated taxa includes allergies, pulmonary mycosis, sporosis, systemic or subcutaneous mucormycosis, and asthma.
The researchers concluded, “The fact that brown heroin is more contaminated and heterogeneous in the taxa found in its samples suggests that the contaminants may be introduced during its synthesis or during adulteration with contaminated substances.” (3)
In 1987, researchers sounded the alarm when “a case of Candida albicans endocarditis is described which developed in a heroin addict with aortic valvulopathy after an episode of cutaneous and chondrocostal candidiasis related to the use of “brown” heroin.
The researchers said, “To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the English literature. This complication should be suspected in all heroin addicts with this new syndrome, especially if valvulopathy is present.” (4)
A 1992 study of disseminated candidiasis was diagnosed in 83 heroin addicts from November 1983 to April 1990. All patients had consumed brown heroin diluted in fresh lemon juice.
Sixty-two (75%) had skin lesions, 41 (49%) had ocular lesions, and 35 (42%) had one or several costochondral tumors. Candida albicans was grown in culture or histopathologically identified in 34 cases (41%). The patients who had only cutaneous lesions were treated with ketoconazole, and they were all cured. The patients with ocular involvement received systemic amphotericin B with or without oral flucytosine; 29 of these patients developed varying degrees of vision loss.
The researchers concluded, “This is a new syndrome of candidal infection in drug addicts who use brown heroin; ocular lesions are the most harmful manifestation, and loss of vision is the major sequela.” (5)
When my six-year-old son who never took heroin or any illegal drug for that matter, was sick due to toxic mold from a home we rented in Carlsbad, California, one of his major symptoms was that he complained was vision loss and as if he was in a tunnel and his vision was seriously impaired. These vision loss episodes would happen “sporadically,” so when I read the research that heroin addicts suffer from ocular lesions and loss of vision from fungal infections, it made perfect sense.
In 1983, researchers reported about a 21-year old heroin addict from Brittain who was losing his vision has the result of a candida fungal infection. The physicians handling this your man’s case discovered that a white fungus was literally starting to cover his eyeball.
What was really weird was that “there was no evidence of yeasts or other fungi in blood or urine. Serum precipitin tests for candida and aspergillus were also negative.”
A week later, as the eye continued to deteriorate, they were able to culture the white growth to get a specimen from the heroin addict’s eyes. The researcher stated, “In this specimen, a few budding yeasts with occasional short pseudohyphae were seen in the Gram-stained tissue, and cultures produced pure growth of Candida albicans.” (6)
The doctors ended up curing and restoring the man’s vision with the antifungal drugs 5-fluorocytosine (150mg/day in 3 doses) and ketoconazole (200 mg/kg/day oral administration).
Researchers have documented how these heroin addicts developed fungal infections causing skin abscesses, pyomyositis, spondylodiscitis, septic arthritis, costal osteomyelitis, infective endocarditis, recurrent bacteraemia, and multiple brain abscesses. (7)
Last but not least, there are many reports that the heroin supply has been intentionally contaminated with fungal pathogens and some growers like in Afghanistan even suspect foul play by the U.S.
The article stated, “When the report of the fungus was first published, a reliable source directed the author of this article to the Sunshine Project, a now suspended non-profit organisation. In 2000, the international NGO had published a report about “dangerous US fungus experiments”, warning against the potentially harmful impact of the fungus on biodiversity in the target drug-producing regions.
The report said: “The strains of the fungi fusarium oxysporum and pleospora papveracae might infect and kill plants other than coca, poppy, and cannabis in ecologically sensitive areas of Asia and the Americas.”
Whether this is true, I cannot comment, but what we can be certain of is that this fungal infected heroin is still making its way onto the black market and into people’s noses, lungs, eyes, brains, and blood.

In 2015, researchers reported that a heroin addict died from a fungus/mold growing within his brain and body as a result of smoking the contaminated drug.
According to UC Health, “When the patient’s autopsy report came back to the neurologists, they saw the damage: broad ribbon-like branches of fungus extended throughout the brain tissues.
Areas of dying tissue (necrosis) and bleeding (hemorrhage) had caused the fatal brain swelling.
The fungus was identified as zygomycosis.”
Cerebral mucormycosis is a rare entity usually seen in intravenous drug users.
According to the CDC, “Mucormycosis (previously called zygomycosis) is a serious but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. These molds live throughout the environment. Mucormycosis mainly affects people who have health problems or take medicines that lower the body’s ability to fight germs and sickness.
It most commonly affects the sinuses or the lungs after inhaling fungal spores from the air, or the skin after the fungus enters the skin through a cut, burn, or other type of skin injury. However, it can occur in nearly any part of the body.”
How did fungi typically found in the soil (in decaying leaves, compost, or rotten wood) get into the brain of this heroin user?
“The heroin itself or needles used for injection could have been contaminated with spores,” Dr. Ferioli says.
“Then, the spores either circulated in the blood to the brain or were transported via the smoke. It’s not an uncommon fungus. But it can be devastating if it enters the blood stream, even in healthy individuals.”

Dr. Carl Hart was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) Podcast #1593. Rogan described him as a “longtime champion for evidence-based drug policies and has written several influential books in the field. His newest is “Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear”.
Dr. Hart spoke openly about his current drug use to Rogan, saying that he regularly uses heroin, methamphetamine, and other illegal drugs daily and encouraged Joe Rogan, who hadn’t taken those drugs in the past, to try them.
During the podcast, Rogan agreed a couple of times to do cocaine and heroin for the first time with the doctor under controlled circumstances.
Two of the most addicting and illegal drugs in the world have destroyed countless lives worldwide. They have been proven by science to change drug users’ physiology, personality, and brain, often causing criminality and psychiatry disorders.
In the interview, Hart attacks other medical professionals when talking with Rogan, like when he called addiction specialist Dr. Drew “a fucking idiot who doesn’t know anything about drugs,” when commenting about an interview he had participated with Cooper Anderson in on CNN.
Dr. Hart said Dr. Drew should have just shut up and listened when Hart spoke on drug addiction, but instead interrupted. He claims that Celebrity Rehab was an exploitative TV show and that Drew doesn’t care about those people.
Hart also said that from the brief time he spent with Drew on Anderson Cooper’s show, it was evident to him that Drew knows absolutely nothing about drugs, what they do to people, and why people take them. Not only that, but Drew apparently couldn’t shut the fuck up and let Dr. Hart talk, who is an expert in the field of neuropsychopharmacology.
When I listened to the podcast, Joe seems to have a lot of admiration for Dr. Hart, who appeared to be very arrogant and combative to differing opinions and believes he is one of the world’s best experts, and everyone else should shut the fuck up and listen.
Hart had told Rogan and has on numerous occasions that people are not dying from drugs but ignorance. Meaning that it is not the drugs that rea deadly, just stupid people who do drugs are dying because they lack proper knowledge, and if they had this information, they would not die.
Several articles and interviews of Hart saying basically stupid people are dying from drugs and it has nothing to do with drugs are published online such as the Scientific American, “People Are Dying Because of Ignorance, not Because of Opioids and on his personal website in an article titled, What Is More Dangerous: Drugs or Ignorance About Drugs?”, Hart makes a claim in his words;
“When we think about heroin physical dependency, people see it portrayed in movies as being this potentially deadly thing,” he said. “It’s not deadly or potentially deadly. You can’t die from heroin withdrawal, but you certainly can die from alcohol withdrawal.
Heroin withdrawal is like the flu. If you’ve had the flu, you’ve had heroin withdrawal.
Hart continues, “It’s not pleasant, so I don’t want to minimize that … but this notion that you can die from heroin withdrawal, that’s just simply not true.”
When researching heroin withdrawal and deaths, I discovered several unbiased studies published in various publications around the world showing that while it is uncommon, heroin withdrawal has been well documented to cause death in some unfortunate users.
“It is generally thought that opiate withdrawal is unpleasant but not life‐threatening, but death can, and does, occur.
The complications of withdrawal are often underestimated and monitored inadequately.
It is essential that clinical management programs are put in place routinely in jails, prisons, and other facilities where withdrawal is likely in order to avert these avoidable deaths.”
In May 2016, a U.S. Professor from Columbia University had to flee the Philipines on an emergency flight because he was in fear for his life.
Dr. Carl Hart was invited to the country by President Rodrigo Duterte to talk about drugs and addiction. Duerte has led one of the world’s most brutal campaigns against drug users, addicts, and sellers. He is alleged to operate death squads by executing excused drug offenders openly on the streets without a trial or jury for several years.
The Columbia University professor is one of the world’s most sought out experts on addiction and an ardent opponent of “drug myths” such as stereotypes depicting meth and crack users as violent zombies.
In a 2017 interview, Hart said that he went to Manila ready to counter the “tremendous amount of misinformation about methamphetamine” in the Philippines, according to the World.
“I thought it would be a nice thing to do,” he said. Hart had no idea that, shortly after his May 6 speech, he’d have to flee the country under a flurry of online death threats.
In the interview, there was a claim about brain shrinkage of meth addicts made by President Duerte and Professor Hart that caught my attention because I recently read some studies on the subject.
The difference in opinions is this – Duerte has distributed literature to the Philippine people that methamphetamine use shrinks the brain of users, and Hart says that information is false or a lie to scare people.
Dr. Carl Hart’s position on drug use and addiction is that it is not the drugs that are causing these health issues, criminality, and psychiatric problems, but it is our society that treats drugs and addicts, and it is the user’s inherent health and already present mental issues that are “triggered by drug use.”
But the big question here is – who is telling the truth?
My research that I will present to you below will prove that Dr. Carl Hart is the person who is spreading disinformation and President Duerte is telling the truth.
As you read my research, please keep in mind that I’m not a big fan of Duertes drug policies. The facts are that if I lived in the Philipines, I would probably have been killed by now. Also, just a short while ago, I would have agreed with Dr. Hart and his position on decriminalizing drugs, but my position on that subject has changed because of the extensive research I have done and also my own experiences with 30 years as a drug addict, a drug seller and even several years spent in court-ordered alcohol and drug addiction programs.
I do not think that we should decriminalize drugs for everyone – just some pre-screened experts who control their minds and bodies. I will explain my theory in a future article, but first, I wanted to put forth research showing some of the statements about meth use and brain shrinkage made by Hart and also the contradicting science and studies that prove that meth use does, in fact, shrink the brain.
“His fairly anodyne speech — which challenged Duterte’s claim that meth shrinks human brains — came to the attention of the president himself.
Duterte went off. He called Hart “that black guy … that son of a bitch who has gone crazy.” He accused him of peddling “bullshit.” Hart became an instant target to the president’s diehard supporters.
“I was receiving death threats,” Hart said. “In the Philippines, people will pay anywhere from $100 to $500 to kill people. I had to take it seriously … and I found a flight leaving the country immediately.”
When you have a president making such ignorant comments about drugs — like he’s a pharmacologist — and when society allows that? And the scientific community doesn’t say it’s wrong? They have much bigger problems.
As he had done with Dr. Drew Pinsky, Hart defiantly claimed the Philippine President’s ignorance when he said, “Duterte’s ignorance is only surpassed by those who support him on this issue.”
Duerte commented on Hart’s claims, saying: “That’s all bullshit to me,” and called Hart a “son of a bitch who has gone crazy”.
In an interview with Public Radio International, Hart said “a president making such ignorant comments about drugs — like he’s a pharmacologist” and added that President Duterte was “out of his league when he talks about drugs”.
So, is the Columbia Professor right or is President Duarte correct when he says that meth shrinks the brain?
Dr. Hart said this to The World about meth use and brain shrinkage:
“This is the most abhorrent claim made by the president. Millions of people around the world take this drug. For a variety of conditions. We don’t see anyone’s brain shrinking.
There’s almost no drug that shrinks your brain besides chronic alcohol use. We’re talking large, large doses. And it’s not really because of the alcohol. It’s because people stop eating and don’t get their vitamins and minerals — and then parts of their brain atrophy.
We’ve never seen, in the methamphetamine doses humans take, any shrinking brains or destroyed brain cells. It’s a ridiculous notion.
Look at the [scientific] literature — the animal literature, the rat literature — where you’re giving 20, 40 or 80 times the normal dose. You can get some damage. But you can also get some damage if you’re giving that much ibuprofen.”
In reading Duerte’s and Hart’s statements, the big question we all should ask in attempting to find who is telling the truth is that if there is any science that would support and or contradict any of their claims.
What I immediately discovered when I did my own research was a plethora of studies over the last 30 years or so that detail the research that has been done on meth use and the effects on the brain.
Research that proves without a shadow of a doubt that chronic meth use does shrink your brain and that Dr. Carl Hart is spreading disinformation and lies that may be killing unsuspecting people who believe the information that he is falsely exposing to our nation’s youth and their parents.
False knowledge that may be infecting hundreds, thousands, and now with his latest appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast #1593, possibly millions of people will try dangerous drugs because of his advice.
This is why I believe he is one of the world’s most dangerous professors.
Dr. Hart claims that everyone who says that drugs cause these mental and psychiatry problems in users are ignorant.
The word ignorant seems to be the most popular term the Professor uses to describe people who die from drug use, and people who think drugs cause mental illness and death. Another word he throws around a lot are calling people cowards who have a different opinion than him, acting as if his knowledge on the subject is superior to everyone else and that he is the real expert.
Hart said in the interview, “So I want to make this clear. This ain’t a drug issue.
It’s about the elimination of poor people. It’s an excuse for why certain politicians are failing. The killings, for the most part, only happen in poor communities. This is not happening to the middle class.”
Hart continued, “All the physicians, the pharmacologists there, if they’re allowing this to happen? It shows they’re either ignorant or cowards.”
This is a pretty bold and wide statement.
In the interview with The World, Hart had openly called the Philippine President ignorant and his policies a said an interview The Philippines obviously has much bigger problems than methamphetamine, in terms of human rights, and looking after every citizen.”
I agree that there are issues there, but my point with this article is to see if Dr. Hart’s statements about drugs like methamphetamine in terms of it not causing brain shrinkage and or meth or any other drug that he claims are not causing problems with user and creating addictions that lead to amoral and criminal behavior.
For example, a simple Google search on the subject will reveal several studies that contradict Dr. Carl Hart’s statements that meth does not cause brain damage and or shrinkage.
In a 2004 study, Structural abnormalities in the brains of human subjects who use methamphetamine, researchers found on average, that “meth abusers had 7.8% smaller hippocampal volumes than control subjects (p < 0.01; left, p = 0.01; right, p < 0.05) and significant white-matter hypertrophy (7.0%; p < 0.01).
The hippocampal deficits were mapped and correlated with memory performance on a word-recall test and MRI-based maps suggesting that chronic methamphetamine abuse causes a selective pattern of cerebral deterioration that contributes to impaired memory performance, the researchers said.
They stated that meth abuse “may selectively damage the medial temporal lobe and, consistent with metabolic studies, the cingulate-limbic cortex, inducing neuroadaptation, neuropil reduction, or cell death. Prominent white-matter hypertrophy may result from altered myelination and adaptive glial changes, including gliosis secondary to neuronal damage.”
GNOSTIC WARRIOR CONCLUSION
Whether Joe Rogan wants to use cocaine and or heroin with Dr. Carl Hart makes no difference to me, but I believe that Joe should get more information and perhaps do some more research before he ignorantly partakes in these drugs.
I just detailed some of the research that can be easily discovered online that will contradict many of Dr. Harts claims, which I believe are not only dangerous but deadly.
How many people will now try these illegal drugs, become addicted, and possibly die because of this Joe Rogan Podcast?
