“This one’s used on horses ...”
they talk of a sedative experience as a “cure”? if you need to get it repeatedly, it’s not a cure, just medicating and likely has negative side effects to come to light somewhere down the road - like what else is it sedating/depressing in the body or because of all the “positive sedating” what things in the body get overworked in trying to fix the effect of sedating?
Can’t put foreign substances into body and expect only good or only wanted effects to come from it because it’s foreign and the body will guard or fight against it.
Must be what Mr Ed was using.
Like antibiotics?
“they talk of a sedative experience as a “cure”?”
Well, it is multiple treatments, but the total number of treatments is around 8 (i.e. it isn’t a recurring event in your life ... you get X number of treatments and you’re cured). Some people need more, others less.
It states that the drug appears to help rebuild parts of the brain that were damaged due to a traumatic event. It doesn’t appear to mask the underlying problem.
I just wish we had more knowledge of the brain to understand the underlying process that’s causing the healing vs. “let’s try this ... it works? NEXT!”. :-)
We DO have ways to see effects of various drugs, traumas to the brain...they are called Brain Scans.
Just because you sedate someone, that may not be good treatment.
We have evidence based ( double blind studies) treatments for bipolar disorder...which is a disease that is not “ cured”.
Any medications that are not evidence based...and are just one, or even, many people’s “stories” of their “ cures”...are usually the placebo effect...which has a 50 % positive “ improvement “ rate.
THIS doc has a great racket going! Ketamine can have great side effects!
Some foreign substances are pretty helpful...antibiotics, insulin, anti psychotic meds, manufactured vitamins or iron for severe deficiencies.
Ohhhhh, let’s all go back to the middle ages and deal “ naturally” with the bubonic plague!!!
Maybe it’s more than just a sedative?
Many drugs have multiple, unsuspected uses. MDA and MDMA (”rave drugs”) are used by the Army to treat PTSD in returning soldiers. THC is used to fight nausea in cancer patients. Even aspirin helps prevent heart attacks.
Not really smart to just dismiss this out-of-hand, depression is serious and widespread, and not a lot that has been tried so far has worked.
Massive doses of thoro zine ?
A number of things have to be done in a series to get results.
Physical therapy what I think of immediately.
To fix my arm I had to go through a surgery and then four months of therapy.
I can now lift my arm over my head.
Because it was a series of steps rather then one should I say that my arm is not healed?
I didn't even know there was a Fayetteville in Alaska. I couldn't find it on Google maps.
One of the CIA’s favorite drugs.
I think it’s a typo, and they meant Arkansas.
That’s nothing, the Kanamit’s stopped Famine and War on the entire Planet.
doesn’t quite work that way.
It is found to help overstimulated nerve endings to re-set. Helps with addiction as well.
It is not an on going drug, but instead a treatment.
Still experimental but it has had some success.
People with severe bipolar don’t often live til 50. Who cares if they get high as a side effect of a successful treatment? Let’s save these people.
So there’s hope for the democrats.
I’ve read a number of Medscape articles on promising ketamine-based treatment regimens over the past 2-3 years. The ketamine seems to “shake loose” patients from memories, moods, and habits that prolong their refractory illnesses. Somewhat similar to ECT in that regard.
They could use it on sick soldiers needing treatment.
