A Multidisciplinary Hypothesis about Serotonergic Psychedelics. Is it Possible that a Portion of Brain Serotonin Comes From the Gut?

The paper proposes a multidisciplinary hypothesis that serotonergic psychedelics act on gut microbes to trigger enterochromaffin-cell release of serotonin, which is taken up by platelets and may transiently increase blood-brain barrier permeability allowing plasma 5‑HT to enter the CNS. This gut-derived serotonin could then modulate excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmission and produce transient network disintegration—particularly involving the amygdala—facilitating access to suppressed fear material and an emotional reset.

Perspectives on psychedelic treatment and research in eating disorders: a web-based questionnaire study of people with eating disorders

In a web-based survey of 200 people with eating disorders, 70% had used complementary treatments and most regarded psychedelic research as worthwhile despite moderate concerns. Participants emphasised the need for education and professional endorsement, plus a safe, monitored setting and strong patient–therapist rapport to address those concerns and support future trials.
