Leading the world’s first regulated clinical trial,
DMT (dimethyltryptamine) with psychotherapy for major depressive disorder.
Phase one done on healthy volunteers
Next few months, reports from 42 patients
Dr Carol Routledge, chief medical and scientific officer
We think that this treatment will really get to the root cause, rather than just dampening symptoms
Almost immediate benefits
Based on initial data that we already have, and other companies have, there’s going to be a fairly immediate impact
In terms of the psychedelic experience, we’re talking about 20 minutes,
and then the integration therapy afterwards,
we expect the antidepressant activity to be extremely durable … to last maybe three, four or five months
Imaging data
Psychedelics work on the brain networks
Making neural connections more flexible to brain plasticity
You can reset those networks in the brain, and then that leaves the brain much more receptive to therapy, which is why we bring it in straight afterwards

My recovery journey was supported by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT, LSD are exceptional as well
I was diagnosed with severe depression and mental health issues, not until a friend recommended golden teachers mushroom for spiritual and mental gratification. I’ve been well ever since for about 4 years now.
I've been looking to try shrooms. Can someone direct me to a source?
doctor.cyruss is your guy, got all kinds of psychedelics.
He's on Tiktok
It's amazing how they work better than antidepressants and serve recreational purpose as well.
Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to get them, anyone?
doc.jeanne is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Is on Instgram?
Yessss
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
This "plandemic" was the best thing that happened to me. I weaned myself off my antidepressant (since 2006) which helped me to NOT need the 10 tablets I had to take according to my Dr because of the side effects the antidepressant gave me. Ulcers, IBS, Fibromyalgia, muscle pains, insomnia to name a few, all gone. So I'm tablet free for the first time in 17 years. So with no smoking drinking and pharmaceutical drugs I am very happy. No more pharmaceuticals for me.
That's amazing! Well done ❤️
😲
Well Done You!
Awesome 👏
That's the problem with big pharmacy if they cure you it's a customer lost years back after three months I wanted to come off prozac doctor wanted me to be on then for two years whilst drinking coffee with the same brand name on the mug, asked if I could see a doctor instead of a drug dealer oops!!! 🤔
Thank you John, for covering this. I have been self medicating with Psilocybin since 2019. Not needed daily and not addictive! A gift from nature and it has saved my life.
Also! I found (around the same time) Ayahyasca which was a huge step on the healing journey. Many years of Generational trauma, unraveled and comprehended through 3 sittings and 2 days of integration. This is a traditional medicine used culturally by the Natives of America. The world needs these medicines now more than ever!

@@Aien1220 where did you go for the Ayahuasca treatment? I’ve only seen availability outside the US in South America. People are setting up expensive “treatment” spas for this. I’m not sure who to trust.
Maybe it's possible to treat depression without taking them daily, but there is certainly room for abuse. There was a large streamer named Reckful who committed suicide a few years ago while taking a large dose of Psilocybin daily. There are other things that you could contribute to his suicide though, such as his friendship with a therapist which had fuzzy boundaries.
"Don't take anything your doctor hasn't prescribed to you"... these days I'm more concerned what my doctor prescribes to me.
100%!!!
At least in Spain Social Security there are no more doctors. They are just healthy-killers. They pre-recorded the whole work force of doctors over 52 years old and have just the ones out of university and making their residences. All under 30. I never go anymore.
My dr prescribed a Benzodiazepines valium for over ten years. Didn't inform me how addictive it was & getting off is so hard & physically & emotionally dangerous to come off. I had to do my own homework. Big pharma is a business & I was a great customer without benefit. Addicting people is quite lucrative.
@@virgieden Yes, we have to look up information for ourselves. I no longer trust doctors, even if their intentions are good.

When I didn't think I could appreciate you anymore you make this video. I had a lot of help from deliberate psilocybin use on my journey out of depression and PTSD. Really glad you're talking about it.
Me too with Schizophrenia. It helps me tremendously with negative symptoms, the flattened affect and all that stuff is noticeably reduced, I start wanting to engage with my surroundings again. I have auditory & insect hallucinations sometimes, but that part of my illness seems unaffected by it. Effect lingers for months, so I just find them when in season.
Edit: I'm not advocating this, I'm just sharing my anecdotal evidence. Results may vary. But this is something I tried after I found regular antipsychotics sorely lacking, and it seems to work for me.
Always happy to hear how it helps, I could do with some myself but everywhere I look online seems to be a scam. Can you please tell me where to get some from?
Ps. I'm not interested in fake accounts/comments like the one below this comment

@@18laila It depends on where you are. Your safest bet is to get a grow kit (substrate and spores are legal in most places) and make them yourself. About the size of a brick and super easy to just stick in a closet. It's a bit costly though, and you get way more than you need. There's no "legal mushroom vendor." A local nature expert could also potentially be of assistance. Simply looking for them yourself can be dangerous, as there are plenty of poisonous lookalikes around.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.

I love that you’re covering this as a a treatment for mental health. I expect pharma to interfere of course. But I have many close friends who have reported how beneficial this has been to them. We’re talking about decades of depression here. I’m hoping this will be an option in the future, but not optimistic.
Speaking from 20 years of behavioral health experience.
Does it solve the depression permanently so they do not need to take it anymore?
Yeah, advertising. How convenient.
@@theredboneking I reported it as unwanted commercial content.
@@mrsteve170 no and yes. It can.
@@mrsteve170 depends on situation and how it's approached
There have been a number of individuals who suffered severe ptsd who were given higher doses of mdma while in a session with 2 drs there to guide them where after a couple treatments over the course of a couple mths and a couple normal psych sessions after each in order to see where the patient was at prior to doing again
One thing I have realized over the last two years is that humans are living way to outside how we were meant to. Lack of sun seed oils and a loss of our close knit family groups. We are highly social creatures. I get sunshine every morning and work out so hard every day I can't be bothered with most stress because it typically seems trivial.
We have all been programmed to be apart of the rat race
Hi John, I've treated my own depression with psychedelics, the key factors of change are the perspective shift (similar to the overview effect astronauts experience) and the structural brain changes that are caused by it.
Reportedly psychedelics increase the number of neuronal branches (dendrites), the density of small protrusions on these branches (dendritic spines), and the number of connections between neurons (synapses).
Annecdotally, it does feel like your dendrites are replenished, like a consciousness enemma, and some of the changes have been permanent, eg haven't had the same low in lows, no sui. ideation for years, was weekly / monthly

@@MrFrankstanks why not grow your own?
As someone who cured themselves of depression with the help of psychedelics and meditation, I am very happy to see a video with someone like you touching on this subject. Thank you Dr. John Campbell.
How’d you do it?
My son has had one of these treatments. He went for approx. 8 days. He said that it's not like tripping because of the dose. It helped him tremendously from the PTSD. He was 18 and deployed a number of times before becoming disabled from the military. When he came back it was rough for his family. He tried everything else first. I'm sooo grateful that they're finally opening up other therapies. Good health to you.
@@KellySmunt303 xanax is used by many people as a trip killer if someone's having a bad trip because it does a very good job at counteracting the effects of most psychedelics within 30 minutes or so. Just because someone is willing to provide a certain drug does not mean that the rest of their supply is somehow dangerous or untrustworthy. That's just your personal opinion/bias. That's like saying I won't get my antibiotics from the local pharmacy because they also supply opiates.
@@cyndijohnson5473
Ah yea ketamine. Helps reset the CNS and to stop mast cells from overreacting.
Research showing when mast cells degranulate and release inflammatory mediators the end result for some is inflammation of the brain, which leads to psychiatric disorders. So no one shot of ketamine won’t do because you’d have to also avoid other triggers that stimulate mast cells.
@@cyndijohnson5473
Oh and to add. Mast cells, when they degranulate. They cause permeability of the blood brain barrier. This
Then allows viruses, bacteria and other toxins to enter your brain.
@@cyndijohnson5473
I think only the natural psybocilin will work and the ceremony around its use is important. To package up synthetic copies and creating a copyrighted version will allow big pharmaceutical companies to control this new frontier also. Call me cynical, but they see a huge and growing opportunity they need to control. Good treatment outcomes are secondary to their business model, as they have recently proved.

I work in psychedelic medicine in the US. Thank you for highlighting this important work we do helping the world heal. Healing with psychedelics is ancient. No matter where you are from, your ancestors used hallucinogenic plants for healing and sacred ceremony. You are right, it is the experience that changes things. The biological mechanism is what changes your state of consciousness and creates the experience. But it IS the experience itself that is where the real healing is sourced.
Thank you so much for telling your large audience about this.
In Oregon, USA this is a legal treatment.

I myself was cured from PTSD and Depression with DMT. Thank you Dr. Campbell for being open and considering the possible benefits of psychedelic use.

Differently, my life has been so much better since the DMT years ago.
Tell us more about..
Psychedelics are great. Funny story, LSD actually saved my life, I was going down the wrong path in my youth, alcohol, drugs, crime etc. One day a friend convinced me to try some acid, it was very potent, after getting over the giggles, I realized that my perception of everything completely changed, I saw life in a more logical sense, I literally looked into the mirror and I immediately saw the stupidity of my behavior, when I watched TV, I was able to see how extremely stupid it is, you actually see the subliminal messages in commercials, amazing! It changed my life for the better... Looking forward to tryout Psilocybin mushrooms just don't know where or how to get them, so hard to come by
once I took shrooms on accident they were in a chocolate bar and my fat ass thought it was regular choclate 😂

I just finished a trip (haven't had one for about 2-3 months) and it was a mess, it wasn't bad or good, it was weird, haven't ever had such a meh trip
kept going outside for a walk, like searching for something, but never found it, I just got back from working 2 months abroad and wanted to trip but it felt off, everything felt unorganized and I was on edge most of the time, kinda felt depressing and lonely aswell, but oh well 😅
@@ugmiles. yeah, He has variety of stuffs like mushrooms, lsd, DMT even the chocolate bars
A "bad trip" can actually be incredibly helpful and revealing. Psychedelics have been part of human cultures for 1000s of years, it's only the war on drugs that's disconnected us from that.
It was originally a war on our divinity, our sovereignty, and our thoughts are the current target
The homeless in the US tell a different story.
Let's not forget they can be dangerous for some people and even trigger schizophrenia
The cultures that used certain and in very limited amounts psychedelics, had a very strict protocol on their use as well as a very strong psychological framework to work with their initiates. I must to remind you that a failed ritual was also meaning death for the candidate, something that in the therapy protocols today is out of question.
@@hague444 You are already probably going to be Schizophrenic. Schizophrenia usually starts around or before 20.
I've been micro-dosing during the pandemic and it's been very helpful with my mood. Thank you Dr. Campbell for all that you do sir. Very helpful with Co Vid and now depression.
PhDs can be called Doctor just like MD’s (medical doctors). Most PhD’s in medical fields are more widely informed than your average medical doctor.
I quit smoking cigarettes after 27 years when I ate 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms with the intention of removing the desire to smoke. I've been microdosing with mushrooms since 2015. I find that it decreases anxiety, depression and pain, increases productivity and general well being many ways. Glad to see this being presented here.
Genuine question. If it works, why have you been taking it for so long?
Could there be an addictive element or is there another reason for your continued dependence?
I'm genuinely curious as there is a member of my family that might benefit, but I don't want to suggest something that might just lead to another problem.
You need to be using it as part of psychiatric treatment, not by yourself
Any advice on where to get the mushrooms and how do you know how much to use?

The deciding factor will be this: If the studies indicate that widespread use of low dose hallucinogens create a more compliant individual, they will give it a full throated endorsement. If it produces a non compliant free thinking individual, the “science” will recommend against it. Stay tuned.
The science will recommend it's use if it benefits the user, much like the studies of the 60s and 70s, the science doesn't decide governments policy though, politicians do, so they can and often do, choose to ignore the science. At the end of the day this will produce happier, more productive people, which benefits everyone
@@schr4nz I like to give people the benefit of the doubt especially in an environment like this. My facetious use of “ “ around the word science indicated that I do not believe that to be the guiding principal at all when our politicians and their financial enablers (controllers) enact policy. History is replete with examples of science (observation and testing through repetition) is either manipulated or ignored or, more generously, biasly looked passed to enact the desired laws. I anticipate this to always be the case.😐
@@schr4nz One more thing, the likelihood of the dubious nature of serotonin levels and depression was known back in the 1990s but they plowed ahead with recommending SSRIs anyway, just as they did with the “food pyramid” in the 1970s when a massive control study on diet using inmates and geriatrics in nursing homes who were all forced to eat the same things, was available and it debunked the Food Pyramid narrative. They ignored the study.
@Poire Tartin I’m not so sure. Science is a method, a discipline. Like all disciplines it is peopled by individuals with biases and it’s amazing what can gain traction once enough people are swayed by group dynamics. There are numerous examples, lobotomy being the most notorious. “But, we’ve learned so much since then”, yes, but the past was once the present and scientific hubris still exists.
Bloody heck isn't that the truth. In NZ here, we've had magic mushrooms as a CLASS A drug (highest comparable category woth heroin etc in same class) ever since i remember. I always wondered why the heck something anyone could go pick up in the local bush was on oar with a manufactured such as heroin .
Hi John, many thanks for covering this issue! As a resource on the subject I very much recommend the book "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guid" by James Fadiman, which is an excellent compendium on the use of psychedelics in treating depression and other mental health problems. He was one of the first researchers in the field and the book contains a summary of a lifetime of experience in the field. I have to say that after many years of working as a GP in the UK, I yet have to be convinced of the usefulness of SSRIs. There is a hidden assumption in thinking that depression is caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain: the thought that a chemical imbalance is there in the first place (I am not convinced this has been proven), and secondly the assumption that it is a chemical imbalance that causes depression. It's possibly a chicken and egg situation. It is possible that is is mental patterns and their habitual recurrence which cause a chemical imbalance, rather than the other way round. In that case, learning how to work effectively with the mental patterns and habits we all have would be far more logical and effective than taking, for example, SSRIs regularly. In the case of psychedelics they do seem to be able to afford patients insight in their mental habits and patterns; this understanding can then be used by the patient to effectively change depressing mental patterns and habits - hence the long term and beneficial effect of these agents. I agree with you that these agents should only be used with great caution and skilled supervision. But they do promise a game changing way forward in the treatment of mental health problems. Let's hope that pharmaceutical industry interests will not destroy the budding research in this field - I can think of some recent examples of extremely useful therapeutics where exactly this happened - as covered admirably in your channel. Keep up the good work! Mathias Sander, GP, UK

If you experienced major depression i don't think you would be thinking habits are causing it. It feels like world doesn't have colors and there is no way out while other people are telling you things are just fine, life is great and so on.
Of course suicides are much worse, i heard this people feel like if they have fallen in a hole, they can only turn around but never look up to see the light and way out. Similar to feelings of depression, of course much, much worse.
And once you are on them, almost impossible getting off without having worse depression, anxiety and insomnia.
Thank you for bringing attention to this!
While at times it feels like the momentum behind psychedelic research is at an all time high, I'm often reminded by the outside world that those of us who follow it are in a bit of a bubble still. We need people like you to make the general public more accepting of it after the negative stigma media pushed for decades.
The best treatment course I know is mushrooms
Look up my YTB handle 👆. He got sh00ms, dmt, lsd and alot more
I think that you are right. I have been following this for five years and when I tell someone, I sometimes get a totally naive response.
Absolutely correct.
Same happened with cannabis; bad rap, the fantastic film 'Reefer Madness', etc., but it's now it's legal in many places. Didn't stop big pharma from creating synthetic form, or Hemp derived CBD & Delta 8, but Hemp is not the same & who needs synthetic pharma weed.
Nature made it perfectly, I'm guessing with shrooms it will pan out the same. Hopefully.
This has been used for millennia by many cultures and has been proven to work for all sorts of spiritual and health problems. Great to see they are bringing back something that will actually work.

Excuses, excuses, psychedelics are BS. A bad trip can ruin someone for life.
@@peterbelanger4094 A bad trip can ruin you for life? How so?
@@peterbelanger4094 Yes, they can, as a result of the same processes described above but maybe at the wrong time, in the wrong place or the wrong state of mind; I've had the bad trip experience and I agree, it can be ruinous to your state of mind.... I also however have had the opposite effect on another occasion, a renewed sense of energy and motivation after a good one spent in reflection with friends.
Andres, if you get a bad feeling it can be amplified by the drug, and the drug kind of fixes that feeling in your mind. I think it works like habit forming, but instead of the usual bicycle sized tyre of daily repetition building the mental habit (whether it be remembering to look on the bright side of life or looking both ways while crossing the road) it's more like a tank track. So if you feel crappy and depressed or paranoid or scared on the drug, you can be left feeling that way for a very long time afterwards.
I am absolutely in favour of this being looked at as a therapy, you just have to have psychologists who understand what is happening in the patient they are guiding through the experience. It's basically the shaman role in a dream quest.
I self medicated using psilocybin to combat depression and burn out that resulted from the covid 19 epidemic. I also had pretty severe OCD at the time which wasn't helping my stress. I took about 1/8th of a recreational dose every 3rd day for 3 weeks and it helped massively. Burnout gone immediately and a lot happier in myself just from the fact I could think more clearly. I had counselling and CBT after I finished with the mushrooms and believe it primed me for therapy. I managed to get a hold of my OCD in 5 sessions which my psychologist was extremely impressed by. I really do believe it helps you out of the neurotic thought loop in your head by opening up new neural connections.
Large pharmaceutical companies won't want this, not enough money to be made. You can literally grow them at home yourself, or go out and pick them in the autumn. Follow the money
@@jamaldib6079 do your own research.
Well done. Pharma will stop you accessing all of nature's resources. They want to own the whole planet and enslave us all.
Psilocybin cookies...? 🙂 While COVID-19 is an illness of concern, it is not the plague that is presented in the media - whether laboratory-produced or organic. The mal-affects of captured-government and corrupted-public health agency policies; combined with media-marketing fear-mongering have cultivated anxiety, tangible distress and hardship - which has only served to fracture society, atomize the community and sabotage the economy - have caused much damage, suffering, illness and death. COVID-19 and its prescribed and capitalized emergency-authorized remedies and population-control/manipulation mechanisms are actively exploited for socio-economic re-engineering purposes.
While I agree that magic mushrooms are fantastic, please do not utilize any narcotic to obtund your consciousness that might detract from root-causing the source of your depression. It is incorrect to lay blame for the current state of affairs on "the COVID-19 epidemic". We are victims of an orchestrated fraud.
What to you mean by pharmaceutical can't make enough money out of it?
@@marcellustone Psilocybin is not a new drug. It's not possible to patent it. They can't control the supply/price because you can just make it at home. It's kinda like how paracetamol is so cheap now because any company can make it.
That's why they prefer to make their own SSRIs and push for those instead of using the natural product, even though the natural product is possibly better for neurotic conditions.
From someone who has taken “shrooms” to treat ADD, you don’t need a dose high enough to trip to reap the benefits. A micro dose (non-hallucination causing amount) is perfect with no negative side effects (that I’ve seen) and lasts hours. It feels like adderal without the stimulant feeling and nervousness.

I've had one acid trip. Easily the single most profound and important experiences of my life.
i spent a summer on acid almost every day, and it helped pull me out of the worst of my depression, but that was years ago, and when it faded, i tried pharmaceuticals. those have barely worked (wellbutrin seems the best). i tried microdosing psylocybin but at 75mg/day it wasn't enough. even 150 seemed like it wasn't doing anything but i was also taking my pharmaceuticals.

@@meanbeen5442 100% ..it is too good to be true ..one should look at those who have gone into phychosis as a result of using psychedelics…not a few! …and many more long term problems..quick fixes do not work. I sincerely wish they did but know this isn’t true.
Dont panic when you do
Psilocybin and other psychedelics are fantastic at helping anxiety and depression. They upregulate the inhibitory neurons that go from the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex to the amygdala and help it from being dysregulated.
get your happy fix "self-medication"
You can do this therapy in California!! Craziness
Nice words. What do they really mean?
Upregulate inhibitory means it uber inhibits. Help it from being dysregulated means it is subject to regulation. SSoooo...is it inhibited or regulated?

Another great video, well researched as always; mushroom treatment doesn’t seem to have nasty side-effects, nor can you overdose. Let’s legalise it in the UK and give people a chance to improve their health.

I had a bad trip in 2001 from mushrooms. You can never convince me this junk is in any way "good".
A friend took mushrooms and spent his trip convinced his hands were falling off, I'd call that a nasty side effect
There using DMT in the treatment for speed. They couldn't give you a big dose from shroomz and expect to chuck you out the door 30 min later.
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??

Yes!! Micro dosing is an old treatment that actually works. You don’t use enough to get you fully high. Going full hallucinogenic you need to be in the right environment & yes the experience will change your perspective on who you are and why you’re here.
It was a fad for a few years to micro dose before work because with such a limited amount you don't feel the physcadelic effects of it.
A true microdose should be barely perceptible.

I took psychedelic mushrooms twice this year, once early January and just two weeks ago. The first was amazing, I truly truly learned from that in many ways.. but one. I still wanted to experience “more” and so a couple weeks ago I took the same amount and.. it was horrible. It was as if everything was against me and everything in my life was unclean.. truly unreal.. when I was coming down I felt relieved and appreciative of the life we are given.. it felt like super strength like I can conquer the world! Anyway.. it taught me that the real trip, the real deal is life, psychedelics are insane! I won’t be tripping anytime soon, but micro dosing sounds interesting, not for me right now though.

I had recently a mushroom experience in the Netherlands.
It made me perceive the surrounding differently.
Some details became more accentuated.
And it gave me different perspectives.
i would not say my brain physically changed, but that different way of thinking stayed.
I highly can recommend it to try it once in your life.
After being (mis)diagnosed with: atypical depression, depression, major depression, bipolar 2, anxiety, I was finally given the label of cPTSD. I've tried just about all of the meds. Around 2016, I started treatment using TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). That did help (not cure) me. I use various nutraceuticals such as rhodiola and l-theanine these days and am doing OK. Of course, just being "OK" in today's world is quite a feat!
I'm so glad you found some healing.
You may want to read Michael Pollan's book HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.
I agree that just not feeling at the bottom of the pit is a feat these days. After being an activist for most my life, I've learned to simply accept all the horrors inflicted on us by the sociopaths who seem to control most of the world.
Carry on!

Try adding Cordyceps to your stack . Don't use the extracts though . Just the natural powder . Very effective
One of my ex girlfriends was misdiagnosed, she was on completely the wrong medicine and it drove her nuts literally. She ends up in the hospital for almost a month. I’m not so sure about some of these drugs, you’re on the wrong one or stop taking it you go crazy. I just don’t think it’s the answer, maybe it helps sometimes but I don’t know.
I have had emotional breakthroughs after a mushroom session. Sadly I can't take the nausea. Ketamine is also showing a lot of promise as well to help treat depression. Psychodelics have been very effective with helping treat addiction disorders as well.
I watched videos on ketamine, it’s too damaging to the bladder to really be considered a “treatment” (my opinion) It can’t be broken down, no matter what the method of ingestion is.
I grew mushrooms myself, and have yet to even start using them… I only started because the side effects of antidepressants are so awful. As a woman, I had 0 sex drive, no sensation at all. It’s quite ignored as a side effect for women, men are only mentioned as experiencing sexual side effects. No one should have to give something up, just in order to have relief. Depression is so awful, and I hope to get around to start microdosing because I grew a lot.
They have ketamine clinics in Minnesota.
I had MDMA years ago and was amazed how it allowed me to see many of the self-imposed roadblocks I had placed in front of me. Pre=loading with tryptophan was very positive and made the recovery that much easier to accomplish. The event had an amazing time dilatation effect. You could sit and talk about issues that you might never bring up and the exposure was very therapeutic. It was like laying all of your issues out on a table and walking around these issues and realizing that the issues were very blown out of scale and the fear and stress was very much reduced. The event was like 5 years of therapy in one evening.

Back in 1991 first and only stay at alcohol rehab- 10 months later went into major depression- went back to the rehab just to see the psychiatrist, he wanted to put me on antidepressants, I said NO! 32 years later no alcohol or antidepressants! I worked through my issues with talk therapy, diet, exercise, AA program and patience through the pain. You have to put your shoulder into it and lean into it. Yes, address the issues not the symptoms, there’s no easy way.
Satan has come you're all f#@ked
It depends on the individual person’s situation, really. Some people just physically have something wrong with their brain and are depressed without reason. You can’t just work through it in those cases, medication may be the only option.
Stephen that’s an amazing story, congratulations on all your hard work! You’re mad right when when you say we must face it head on with patience and discipline in treating ourselves better.
I would be dead without antidepressants……when they stop working I float into that “stupor” state that Dr. John describes…..
As someone with Asperger's that was undiagnosed for the first 63 years of my life, I came to rely on alcohol to dull the pain of having trouble in social situations, to be "more normal" and less anxious. After diagnosis, I can now say that "no wonder I couldn't "fit it" they way almost everyone else could. Prozac worked well for a while, but the depression has persisted.

Wow. Been watching a lot on Micro-dosing lately - so surprised to see you doing a segment on this.
Microdosing is not effective. Macrodosing is, while under guidance. See Huberman Lab podcast
This is wonderful news, and supports the experience of many who have been self-medicating for years. I have retired from my psychology profession in the NHS, but part of me wishes I hadn’t now!
My son has BPD been suffering terribly since age of15 been treated with antipsychotics antidepressants all making him worse he is now 25 and out of desperation we have accessed Ketamine micro dosing in private London clinic it is expensive but after first session stopped his suicidal ideation he had daily. John says I would prefer people not to have the trip feeling but it is that experience which has enlightened his brain to feel positive about future obviously John you do not feel that mentally I’ll so don’t feel the need. Also you spoke about cognitive improvement in older people this is because it repairs connections which are lost
Everybody should be able to access this treatment at lower cost as we have seen remarkable differences
Do you mind sharing the source?
We don't, this is proof doctors have no idea what they're doing or if a treatment will work. If only they admitted it and that they were just going on what some clueless pharma salesperson said.
My personal recommendation to manage depression is ignore the msm and the so called government and live your life!
You are a gem. Thank you for your curiosity and rigour and how beautifully you break things down for the layman. And such topical and relevant content, delivered objectively. So very useful.
This is so forward thinking of you, I didn’t think you could impress me any more than you already had… but the fact that you’re willing to explore this, goes to show just why we all think you’re a legend!
With limited experience in psychedelics, I did have DMT a couple of times before motherhood, and it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced! I know you said ur surprised they’ve gone for the big guns with the DMT,
but if my brief research was correct, yes they’re the big guns, it’s full on, but, the ironic thing… Is that it is a natural source, and of all the drugs, DMT is the safest drug of all drugs to take!!
I absolutely believe this new therapy would be well worth it, it’s got the potential to seriously make a huge difference, and Doc, u gotta try it!! Your scientific brain would be wowed in a whole new way that I believe you would find so very fascinating… It does change your perception of the world in amazing ways, the sooner they start the better people would be, not all, but a whole lot of people would find great benefit I believe. 🎉✨🤞
Look up the research that was done on DMT in the 60's and 70's.
It's also known as 'The God Particle' for reasons you already know.
@@jamaldib6079 🤣🤣
I've done Mushrooms and Acid(LSD). The days following after use I felt like my brain was rewired in a way where I felt like everything is ok and even understood why I should feel ok about the things that were causing the depression and worry in my life at the time. If they figure out a way to isolate the trip(seeing all the crazy stuff that you do when "tripping") then it would work amazing for depression.
What if the trip is the active component though, because the experience produces necessary insights to alter the cognitive programming? In that case removing the trip might remove the effectiveness.
@@markpostgate2551 if they're microdosing then you wouldn't have a trip like when you take a full dose.
I got bad trips from that stuff, and life has been worse since then.
As I understood from the video, they are treating with microdoses, this does not induce any trip. It's not the same dose people do for recreational use. So if you've had a bad trip this won't do that.
The 'trip' is part and parcel.. in studies on the matter the 'significant' spiritual experience increases the outcome of significant positive effect.. microdosing helps but is nowhere as effective at creating the significant change. 😊✌
Dear Dr.Campbell thanks for your open mind! I’ve learned that DMT is also produced in our brain (in small doses) and found in several organs of the human body. So maybe it’s not such a scary drug, and it’s definitely compatible with our system. As usual it depends on dose and methodology ✌️ I’ve tried it and I’m a big fan.
This is the reason I wonder if those who suffer from hallucinations, regardless of the diagnosis, I wonder if they may get higher doses of natural dmt released than the average person. Doubt anyone has ever looked into it. They don't have a test for dmt.
@@andrearobinson3911 they say we produce most DMT when dreaming… ✨
DMT is in almost every living thing on the planet. We get a large dose when we were born a small dose when we are dreaming and a large dose again when we die.
Scientists don't know why we need to dream but if you suppress your dreams long enough they will spill into the daytime.
Seems important to me.
@@Picklemedia ❗️thank you. I don’t know if it’s true but I also heard about the production of DMT when making love. It could be romanticizing too much. I wish it could be tested

Encouraging to see this being taken seriously as a step toward a cure.
Something many of us have discussed and advocated for decades yet dismissed by whoever due to lack of experience or evidence to support such claims so having clinical trials is obviously essential for this treatment to evolve.
Several years ago I wanted to unalive myself after a decade+ of depression. I'm not a druggy, I thought shrooms were for burn outs. A trusted family member told me about their experience with psilocybin. I said eff it, I was miserable anyway. A microdose really helped. Similar to an SSRI but without any of the negatives.
Then I tried the hero dose. I can't emphasize this enough, a hero dose cured my depression entirely. Don't want to be too dramatic but shrooms saved my life. If anyone is reading this and is in that endless loop of depression, this works. You could be depression free tomorrow.
It worked so well that I told my doctor. He used it on his brother who had been depressed for years as well. Same result.
Or you could have terrifying hallucinations and other sensations for hours straight until it wears off. Remember that people with depression are also likely to have anxiety.

I think credit should be given to the genesis of psychedelic research:
“Johns Hopkins is deeply committed to exploring innovative treatments for our patients. Our scientists have shown that psychedelics have real potential as medicine, and this new center will help us explore that potential.”
- Paul B. Rothman, M.D., Dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Scientists today are entering a new era of studying a truly unique class of pharmacological compounds known as psychedelics. Although research with these compounds was first started in the 1950s and ‘60s, it abruptly ended in the early 1970s in response to unfavorable media coverage, resulting in misperceptions of risk and highly restrictive regulations.
After a decades-long hiatus, in 2000 our research group at Johns Hopkins was the first to obtain regulatory approval in the United States to reinitiate research with psychedelics in healthy, psychedelic-naive volunteers. Our 2006 publication on the safety and enduring positive effects of a single dose of psilocybin is widely considered the landmark study that sparked a renewal of psychedelic research world-wide.
Since that time, we have published further groundbreaking studies in more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in respected scientific journals. This makes Johns Hopkins the leading psychedelic research institution in the U.S., and among the few leading groups worldwide. Our research has demonstrated therapeutic effects in people who suffer a range of challenging conditions including addiction (smoking, alcohol, other drugs of abuse), existential distress caused by life-threatening disease, and treatment-resistant depression. Studying healthy volunteers has also advanced our understanding of the enduring positive effects of psilocybin and provided unique insight into neurophysiological mechanisms of action, with implications for understanding consciousness and optimizing therapeutic and non-therapeutic enduring positive effects.
At the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research, researchers will focus on how psychedelics affect behavior, mood, cognition, brain function, and biological markers of health. Upcoming studies will determine the effectiveness of psilocybin as a new therapy for opioid addiction, Alzheimer's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (formerly known as chronic Lyme disease), anorexia nervosa and alcohol use in people with major depression. The researchers hope to create precision medicine treatments tailored to the specific needs of individual patients.
Credit should be given to those ppl who have been fighting for psychedelics for years. Hopkins isn't suddenly the hero
Timothy Leary was doing this work in the 60
Ancient China new about this long before anyone else thought about it. Probably long before America was discovered. Big pharmaceutical and government will continue to hide it and have it illegal.
Any mention of amphetamines for depression yet? Maybe another thousand years?
@@bizarrebroz3424 but at least Hopkins is doing it. And legitimizing this good work.
Very interesting and thank you for talking about this. I'm slow tapering off an SSRI for the past 2 years and will continue tapering off slowly. I'm hopeful the research and support for psilocybin shows to be a safe and effective tool to alleviate anxiety and depression. I would like to see more research on micro tapering benefits whilst still taking an SSRI.

This is interesting and finally being talked about in the mainstream. Have you covered Wim Hof's protocol of breathing exercises and col water treatments to help deal with anxiety and depression. Many people find these treatments very effective.
I found the case of the lady with MS being able to walk again after implementing his practise amazing.
His breathing methods are complete nonsense but cold water immersion have some benefits but wont treat clinical depression. People confuse the clinical disorder with stress and sadness they are very different
I like everything except the supervision! I would never want to trip at a hospital - I don’t take any drugs, medications, or alcohol as it is. But, I’ve had beautiful experiences with mushrooms in my youth. Nature is such a key component. There should be a system where we have guides with natural settings for those who therapeutically trip from time to time, (nearly all of us).
As a child of the 1960s, I know that the presence of someone helpful can be crucial to prevent a bad outcome and ensure a good outcome. Keeping a hopefule or positive attitude during the experience is helpful. Also, in the case of hallucinations and delusion, "neither believe nor disbelieve; neither accept nor reject."
22 American veterans are committing suicide a day. Maybe speak out against false flag wars that manipulate young men and women to do something that they cannot live with.
@@theredboneking I so agree. I have suffered with anxiety/depression since childhood off and on, but when it comes on, I am like the description Dr. Campbell gave of being close to comatose. It is brought on from situational things, but so difficult to break out of. If there are valid, successful ways to use something more natural, bring it on! I’m not interested in any “trips” for merely escape, but if it can be used to end this living hell, why don’t we hear more about it? I’ve been on a myriad of antidepressants and all the side effects that go along with, that I do believe that most of them are steeped in the arms of big pharma. I can understand why the suicidal rates have quadrupled. People are weary of the fight.

We always used a guide ...
A guide being a similar concept as a designated driver except the guide kept care of you during the experience as opposed to having to be there to safely get you home...
Lol sorry not a fan of it being alcohol of all things that is legal while being one of the most damaging to a person's body... is put up with bc those that person impacts can't do much when it's a legal substance (they do obscene amnts of damage well before getting to a point where it's acknowledged as "a problem") while sooooo many other drugs if not stigmatized thus hidden leading to mismanagement.. so on and so forth.
After benzos Alcohol has the worst withdrawal that in and of itself risks death if ti the extent of being full ddt's. .. followed by fentynal
There is nothing on this planet that has taken more from me the fentynal and it makes me nauseous to do so but even I have to acknowledge that if managed properly is actually a necessity for many people.
When we portray things by their worst aspects from extreme perspectives we get people who by nature who want what they're told they can't have for all kinds of reasons and we get people who have this idea in their head that things always go to the extreme!
Lol... those people who need to sit down with how badly their heads would spin if they knew just how many people do drugs...
The number of people who partake in nearly every drug... even coke meth and the likes.. who are functioning responsible individuals able to participate in society far supercedes the number of users you see
Lmao... the first time I was ever asked if I was high ... by people I was close to.. saw all the time.. lol was the first time I wasn't high... after a 17yr addiction that included coke meth mesc .. would likely be easier to say the only thing I didn't do were things that made my mind sluggish in any way.

Totally agree.
Peoples minds are getting messed up more and more in these challenging times, and classic psychotherapie and pills can't fix it.

How to know what kind and how much or even how to use?
Thanks for the report. As a person suffering from depression for 60+ years, I'm very happy that other meds besides the ssri and tricyclic might be in the offing. This gives me some hope for the future. Thanks again.
Theres also ketamine for depression
Ketamine is a drug that's even around for many years. Was used for general anesthesia. The side edge is were horrific, causing a great decrease in its use.
One side effect was horrible hallucinations, like watching 1/2 of your body walk around the room
@@davidmorrill2943 its still used for analgesia to spare morphine use.The antidepressant use is a far lower dose without the significant side effects and is licensed for treatment resistant depression .
I wonder if a side effect of this new treatment may be depression itself. For example, I smoked pot for a few times and instead of a high it caused me serious depression. In any case, I hope not.... BTW, you're right, Dr. John, I would never drink alcohol if I had an effective treatment for depression.
Exercise has been shown to be as effective as SSRI drugs with the exception of severe clinical depression. Alcohol is likely an aggravating factor. Try cardiovascular exercise, humans are endurance animals and were designed for it.

Thank You Mr. Campbell for bringing the attention to the potential of Psychedelic medicine.
I am a long time watcher from USA Virginia.
I can personally attest to the benefits that go far beyond the mentioned in your video.
I participated in many sessions with different medicines on 3 continents.
The “work” done during the session is a lot harder that one can get imagine but well worth it at the end. (You mentioned 20 minutes DMT - well that can be a million years actually)
The path with the medicine that I was called on is very rewarding but also dangerous for the facilitators that pave the road for the rest. I personally know a great man that is in jail at the moment.
Regardless of the risks and with the knowledge that eventually the companies, small and big, will financially benefit and probably will corrupt the experience, we have no choice but to provide the possibility for the people who dare……

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

DMT is a great game changer, however.
I disagree. Hope is an implicit expectation. Out of an optimistic illusion, you try to be happy while adding another dependency on a fulfillment of an expectation. Hope takes away the happiness of your future to fulfill it preemptively. So you won't feel happy in the future, or if the fulfillment doesn't come, even worse. Expectations and hope are a manifestation of desire. Desire is a trap. If you want to feel happy, don't expect, don't hope, just live the day, enjoy what you want to enjoy, feel positively surprised by every wonder that happens to you. Wonders don't happen when you expect them.
My experience is that it’s a change of brain chemistry ⚛️ and those receptors do build new networks. And long after the substance is no longer in my system I can say my cognitive ability to recall such a happy and peaceful moment in time is still open from the new circuitry. I felt this was only accessible to my thought process after Microdosing for a period of a couple of months.
Look up 👆 to the handle. He ships safely. He got shrooms, DMT, LSD, MMDA, psylocybin chocolates, Xanax, gummies and alot more 🍄💊 💯.....
I’m so glad you’re speaking about this! As a mother who suffered for so long, psilocybin and a product called TrueHope EMP SAVED my mental health. It allowed me to look at my traumas and deal with them. Not always does it happen the other way around.
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they've got dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs

I've been dealing with PTSD, anxiety and severe depression for over 10 year now after my parents died. It has cost me dearly. It warps one's mind and really messes with one's ability to regulate emotion. My dad likely also had it though he "treated" it with alcohol. Some SNRIs seem to help, but it certainly would be nice to have alternatives that don't have some of the rather annoying side effects (sexual side effects being the most common)
It would be great if these new meds are an actual cure
The problem is that large pharmaceutical companies don't really have an interest in cutting into their own profits
I've been on anti depression tablets for some time, I saw a report on this just over 2 years ago. I've been using magic mushrooms for the past 4 months and it's a game changer for me. I haven't micro dosed but every 2 to 3 weeks have around 3.5 grams of dry mushrooms and my mental health has massively improved. It has to be controlled yes, this is nature's way to help so many people, and has been used for so many years.
Be careful mixing anti depressants and mushrooms, they can have negative interactions.
Wouldn’t you want to try microdosing?
@@alexven92 it's what I'm going to try next, I've stopped taking anti depression tablets as what I'm doing seems to have worked best for me but micro dosing seems to work for so many people. The UK has been a bit slow getting on this topic.
do you know how many mushies are in a gram? I thought there were about 60 ... so, that would be 100? So, you get buzzing noises, forget how to get out of a room etc?
How do you get them? And no how much to take
I love that you are starting to provide information on mental health. You provide medical information to a layperson in an easy to understand format. Thank you!!!!
“ mental health “ - look at the fear mongering Campbell has been doing !
@@dennispickard7743 what in the world are you talking about? How is “mental health” related to fear mongering?!
@@heatherm9163 Heather ! What ? Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are a type of mental health condition. Anxiety makes it difficult to get through your day. Symptoms include feelings of nervousness, panic and fear as well as sweating and a rapid heartbeat.
Don’t you think Campbell has been doing his fair share of fear mongering hence inducing anxiety? And look at how many times he’s been wrong with his subjective interjections ?
Campbell is as guilty as hell for inducing fear in those who chose to believe him .
@@dennispickard7743 I’ not being rude, just still so confused. To be clear, I’m not confused by the meaning of anxiety whatsoever.
I simply do not believe Mr C is doing/causing anything of the sort. He gives his opinion on some things, but is quick to point out facts vs his opinions. We all have opinions and as they say, we are all entitled to them, including you.
With that said, most people CAN think for themselves and everyone should be looking at multiple sources to determine what they believe and/or agree with...especially with regards to important issues, topics. However the last couple of years has made it crystal clear (if it wasn’t already), many people don’t/won’t.
On another note, I would agree that fear mongers are out there everywhere...spewing hatred that simply breeds more hatred, further dividing all of us. It shouldn’t be that way, even when opinions differ. That’s exactly why I choose to use my own life experiences, and on topics I find important, inform myself with various “non traditional 😉) sources.
@@heatherm9163 Ahahahahahahaha 😂nice bit of passive aggressive there 👍🏻
I was coping with a heavy depressions from the age of 24 to 26. Just ONE psychedelic experienced basically demolished all my fears, worries and depression.
From this day I push everyone to try it at least once.
You shouldn't be pushing anything you arent a psychiatrist treating these patients,it needs to be done under guidance
You shouldn’t push drugs on anyone. It is irresponsible.
@@ladybooksmith3347 I am a medical professional in psychiatry ,no drugs are prescribed unless needed at the time in my practice .
I think a lot of people are depressed because of how depraved and wasteful our society is.. shrooms are great but they won't fix that :(
They can, they change your perception of reality.
Yep. We could change our reality too such that it isn't quite so depressing (we can take mushrooms as well!)
it's not about fixing the world, its about helping people to deal with it.
By the way, my mother got Covid-19 two weeks ago, more like a moderate migraine over several days followed by physical weakness. We came back from vacation and the five of us sat together in the car for six hours when she was at her worst, air conditioning full blast, often recirculating. Without knowing she had covid we assumed she had a migraine episode.
Unfortunately, she could not be convinced to continue taking vitamin D during the summer, we other four family members have very high blood levels of vitamin D for many years and have continued to have no infection....
Just because you think you are not infected means nothing. My daughter had exactly the same severe migraine kept testing at home negative but was indeed positive. I knew if she was infected so was i. I kept testing negative at home till I swabbed my throat and immediately tested positive which was indeed PCR confirmed. I for ten years take daily multi. Zinc. D3. Turmeric. Ginger. Garlic. Green tea. Greek yogurt. And I am 3x vaxxed
@@maggamoosie801 Of course, things like sufficient blood levels of zinc are also important in viral infections, but especially for the conversion of naive immune cells to killer cells, vitamin D is essential - known and ignored for over ten years, see publication by Prof. Geisler University of Copenhagen: "Vitamin D controls T cell antigen receptor signaling and activation of human T cells".
The problem which is currently the elephant in the room is not that vitamin D is used against everything, but on the contrary, it's importance is still denied by the authorities of our health system. Vitamin D is now the hormone responsible for the immune system, if you respect the research, not some nutrient.
I have also been taking vitamin D for years. It did take a significant time longer to get covid when it was fully circulating in our community. I also had a very mild infection but also took wormwood.
Vit d zinc and magnesium. That was me and that also seems to be good in general for anyone I've read comments about who were and are taking it. Of course take vit c and the rest of things that are good for you !
Check out the relation between magnesium deficiencies & depression
I love psychedelics, so far I've done acid. I take a trip about once every 3 months to help with my extreme suicidal urges and it's really worked for me, it's like seeing behind the curtain of what's going on in my brain and I really get to reflect. I want to try shrooms next but don't know where to get some
I'm also interested in the trip but I'm terrified of having a bad trip
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it
(dream.spores). jason
Got psych's**
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@@fluffypineapples8852 where to search? Is it IG ??
I can vouch for magic mushrooms. No way should they be illegal
SSRI are extremely hard to stop taking. ✋️ only start if you have to.
Yes, you can have it; at least in some countries. It's available online from reputable companies in Canada and can be ground into a fine powder for micro-dosing.
I've done it.
Assuming one is not irrational, I don't think it's particularly irresponsible to carefully take your health into your own hands if the medical authorities won't deign to give a treatment their blessing.
Psychedelic are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It is quite fascinating how effective they’re against depression and anxiety.
Psychedelics is an ancient and powerful medicine. It remains the best recreational drugs to take.
Hello can you help with a source I’d really appreciate it. People talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but no one talks where to get it. I really need.
Yes,Silly_mycoz is my guide ,… helped me get over my addiction and mental illness. So happy to be clean today.
Is he on instgram??
Yes, silly_mycoz.
Best treatment for depression:
Exercise OUTDOORS daily (even just walking)
Healthy Diet
Sunshine daily
dont eat sugar
drink water and Tea
also fasting and phototherapy and liver cod oil (epa dha and vitamin D all help).
@@LTPottenger why fasting?
Especially with numerous chem trails up above.
@@LTPottenger fasting is the best, especially prolonged fasting but a lot of people dont like to hear that lol. so the next best thing is eating healthy foods. but ur right fasting is the absolute best thing to clean/reset ur body and mind
Fasting makes your body clean everything up and re-use stuff.
Thank you for a measured and rational approach to this subject. Here in Oregon, USA, the first legal therapeutic use of psilocybin begins next year. This could have great benefits for all Orgonians. Good reporting.
Wow this talk brought in excessive ads
Well done Dr Campbell.. I'm glad you are looking at alternate therapies for this problem and I do I say this with all due respect, though you mentioned in a previous video on anti depressants that you stated they work, its just now we dont know how they actually work... its not because of the serotinin. Well I would hope as you respectively know that Antidepressants DO NOT work in a very large % of the applications. I know from family first hand who have tried seemingly every SSRI etc under the sun.. but to know avail. I believe a majority of the studies show they may work in half the cases but even then, how many of these are placebo effect. In addition, if they take 3-4 weeks to work - we need to find out the mechanism of this because as we all know from experience, some alot of people improve from their depressive conditions just by the value of time - perhaps circumstances or talk (even non formal/family members) therapy is doing this. We are so far away from this and hopefully one day there will be a test/imagining to show "yes or no you have a malfunction here which xyz supplement or med will help with" . Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. Peace and good health to all!
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
Thanks for opening this discussion Dr John. I’ve been following the largely underground studies regarding the use of psybocilin and some good results regarding PTSD especially for combat veterans. I accidentally went down this road after watching Joe Rogan interview Paul Stamets the mushroom guy. PS I have never taken any illegal “remedies”, and never taken psybocilin so not approaching this from a hippy trippy angle, but I’m not knocking that approach either. Sadly it seems the more normalized the treatment becomes, the more big pharmaceutical companies are moving in and all that suggests. I believe the to gain full benefit from the use of psybocilin, people will need a “hero dose”, using naturally collected psybocilin, not synthetic copies, which big pharmaceutical companies will be able to copyright.
I’m not a spiritual person by any means, but I think there is a spiritual side to this treatment that might be lost that involves ceremony. On a simple level if life evolved from bacteria/fungus, maybe a psybocilin trip is getting in touch with our ancient ancestors, just a thought.
I like that thought!! Going back to our original roots, so to speak, and who doesn’t like the feeling/thought of being ‘safe’ in the womb in which they came?
A bad trip from mushrooms gave me PTSD. Not going to touch that garbage again!!!
The trial involved microdoses for treatment, that does not induce a trip. That's why he says to not go out picking mushrooms to do it yourself. I imagine that's a massive dose comparing to a microdose and you have no way to measure.
My thoughts exactly. To remove all that these plants are giving would seem counterintuitive to their purpose. It would be man ignoring the message because we think we know better? As you say I think there is a spiritual message as part of this healing and to make us as humans better more connected and more loving people. Toward each other and the planet. To see our real purpose.
Even more evidence? :)
I suggest you look up more research papers among the vast amounts of papers about psychedelics that are out there. But I am extremely happy that you made this video!
It was sort of cute that he couldn't decide whether it was the talk therapy, the psychedelic or the combination of the two that was producing the effect. Just read the effing research John :) , this aspect has been studied and addressed in many published works - a good starting point is MAPS.org ( Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) an organisation founded in 1986 that has been key in the development of effective and long lived PTSD treatment using MDMA assisted therapy.
My first experience with magic mushrooms taught me that we are all one. It was a really nice spiritual awakening. (Although it turned into a very bad trip but thats another story (pink floyd was the trigger) lol)✨️
Did it have anything to do with Eugene and an axe?
😄
@@hhlagen Ha! Ha! Yes, you must be very CAREFUL indeed what you listen to sometimes. About 45 years ago I arrived at an acid party in Coventry only to find a bunch of very unhappy looking folk listening to Black Sabbath banging out "Paranoid". I quickly replaced it with Sgt Pepper's and within three minutes the mood had lifted substantially. They all thought I was some sort of guru. True, as they say, story!!!
@@hhlagen no but there was 5 of us at a mates house we did 20g of shrooms each.... my mate had a papalazarou poster on his wall, it turned into a ninja and my view like a camera was like I was 1ft away even tho it was other side of the room and it scared the shit out of me lol the detail and immersiveness was incredible. he also had some.leaflets on the wall and it turned into windows in the wall.and there was a guy playing peekaboo with me inside the wall lol. Also his computer monitor turned into a duck lol. Then someone changed the music from nice happy.music like Lemon Jelly and changed to pink Floyd, it sent us all into a bad trip and one guy Edd starts going nuts and starts strangling our mate, I had 3d shapes and weird shit going on in my.vision and it took.me away for about 3-4 hrs just contemplating life and existence. The next day was very euphoric. Hard to explain buy was a great experience overall. Future trips was no pink Floyd and we were outside in nature and at festivals etc. Needed to be planned better than we did on the first time.
@@snuggleseal Most profound "media" experince was dead man. We sat there in a state between awe and shock, frantically eating more and more dried mushrooms out of the bag as if they were crisps. =D
This film will stay with me forever.
Highly recommend!
Hey "doc" (nurse), please review the study in the NEJM on how IVM and two other repurposed drugs failed to reduce the risk of serious c19 disease. Let's be evidence-based, shall we.
It's fantastic that you're talking about this subject.
Regarding the choice of DMT in the research setting, from what I have read elsewhere it is simply because it is active for a much shorter time than psilocybin. It achieves similar results to psilocybin in a timeframe that is quicker (and cheaper) for the patient and clinician, for example in a 1-hour appointment as opposed to 4 hours.
Dr C - you are always on the mark. Thanks for your courage and convictions!
Could this be the “HALT” on BIG PHARMA we need? In short, could our recently amped distrust of government and pharma be enough to make us finally say enough is enough. John’s and your comments make me wonder. I’m praying for a revolt and huge change…share and share this video, thank you
Fascinating. Retraining the brain towards healthier pathways by interrupting the ingrained patterns makes sense. I suppose it works by opening up many more pathways that had been closed off.
If it works, I wonder if it could also help people with narcissistic personality disorder, people with phobias, or some criminals?
I remember reading about some old research on LSD that was almost the exact thing they are currently investigating.
There was some amazing success in some individuals who went from being bound to the bed to living almost normal lives.
Thank you for this important discussion. It would be interesting to hear to talk about microdosing as well - please! I have had tremendous success microdosing psylicybin mushrooms. I took a very low dose a few times per week for 3 months. The dose is so low that there are no noticeable effects at all. It did, however, allow me to break patterns of thought and behaviour (caused by childhood trauma) that had been creating issues for decades. This has been a life-changer for me. I wish I had had this experience many years ago. I am currently taking a break from the microdosing for a few months and then will probably do another session. Hopefully this therapy will be freely available in the near future and not under the control of 'big Pharma'!
I commented to quickly - thank you for including microdosing in your discussion!
Thank you for discussing this Dr. John. It also can help with alcoholism.
And cluster headache
Alcoholism, or any addiction, can be self-medication for depression.
