Vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), emesis

What are recommended tips for preventing and managing symptoms of vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), and emesis? Whenever I get sick this way, the pain is so bad and debilitating that I feel like my life is ending. Even if there's no magic cure, I'd like to not feel like dying or suicidal when sick with the aforementioned symptoms.

Guayusa

You talk a lot about yerba maté, but what about its cousin from Ecuador, guayusa? How do they compare? Guayusa is also used for ceremonies, and according to the Kichwa, has hallucinogenic effects in higher doses. Typically, it is drunk as a stimulant like tea or coffee though. What is its pharmacology and most important effects? Does it have GLP 1 effects like yerba mate?

Legal highs - safety, concerns, advantages

There are a couple of plants that are generally speaking legal all over the world, such as blue lotus, wild dagga, mugwort, kanna (sceletium tortuosum aka zembrin - which you discussed briefly once), Mexican dream root (calea zacatechichi) and Syrian rue (peganum harmala). Could you discuss the pharmacoly, effects, safety and potential advantages of these plants? I'm assuming brewing tea is the safer route of administration versus smoking/vaping. Wild dagga is typically a substitute for cannabis in South Africa; blue lotus has a long history of medicinal use in Egypt as an afrodisiac and relaxant; mugwort as a relaxant; kanna as an empathogen and for hunting amongst the khoikhoi; Syrian rue has long been used in the Zoroastrian tradition for visions (produces harmine and harmaline like banisteris caniopsis, an ingredient of the ayahuasca brew). All of these are legal in most places!

Plant Based Diet, Not vegan Diet

Hello Dr. Huberman, Could you please create an episode and invite people like Michael Greger, M.D., and Caldwell Blakeman Esselstyn, who is the director of the Heart Disease Reversal Program at the Cleveland Clinic? They can scientifically discuss animal products and processed foods and how these can impact our bodies. Or create an episode about animal product and process food and their impact on our body
