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.

“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!”. :-)

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.

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.
