Imagine someone grappling with migraine-like symptoms. These could be rooted in a hidden nutritional imbalance, like a magnesium deficiency often linked to processed food-heavy diets. Seeking relief, they might explore entheogens. While these experiences can induce feelings of transcendence, offering temporary reprieve, they could inadvertently mask the true source of discomfort. This could hinder them from identifying and addressing the root cause, such as dietary changes.
