Psychedelic drugs cured my PTSD
Вставка

- During a six-month tour in Afghanistan serving with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), veteran Craig Rands saw friends killed in front of him and, like so many others, faced years of PTSD.
Last year, after two attempts to take his own life, he decided to take drastic action, to do something that in the UK would be considered illegal.
He flew to Peru to take an ancient plant remedy and psychedelic drug found in the Amazonian jungle, and now says he is "totally" cured.

I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.
Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?
Yeah doc.brenttt is your guide. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.
Hello Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.Brenttt
Its a literal crime against humanity that psychedelics are illegal
Psychodelics should be legal NOT for stupid recreational use that in much cases end up messing up your brain. Its medicine, not something magically gives you pleasure with no withdrawal or secondary effects.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
Shrooms was good to me tbh
Absolutely! It's incredible to see how psilocybin mushrooms and psychedelics have the potential to make a positive impact on mental health. They've shown promising results in treating depression and anxiety. It's exciting to think about the possibilities they hold for helping people.
Surely dr.vincentshrooms is the man for you.
dr.vincentshrooms has pure psychedelics products-:
Yeah. He is dr.vincentshrooms
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
The doctor who is against this new treatment made two arguments. The treatment is expensive as it could take 8 treatments for a cure, and that we don’t know if it might cause harm.
My rebuttal:
1. For the cost, if the cure takes 8 sessions with 2 specialists that is expensive for the NHS. If the PTSD patient is 30 years old, should NHS pay for 8 sessions and the patient is cured - or pay for therapy, counselling, medication, GP for the next 50 years (assuming lifetime of 80yrs)?
2. Future effects not fully known. Isn’t that the whole point of the research the other doctors want to do? All medications have side-effects, from slight discomfort to lethal. Grab a bottle of Aspirin™️, Tylenol™️, Ibuprofen🇪🇪, or equivalent and read known side-effects (one of which is a headache, pure irony). We innovate by scientific research, and any doctor that doesn’t agree is in the wrong profession.
Mushrooms are about 10$ a gram in Canada. Not expensive.
They want that pharma money
It takes too long, costs too much.....so does not treating people. Caring for each other is always worthwhile.
Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back.
These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source, anyone?
doc.jeanne_
Is on Instgram?
Yess.
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
Whatever it takes for our Brave Soldiers who sadly suffer with PTSD to get better is fine by me, just because these substances are not socially accepted doesn't mean they are bad, everyone with toothache reaches for the medicine cabinet for the strongest drugs available to relieve the pain and no one bats an eyelid " But when Science and the Professional medical world Agree that this Pyscodelic drug Can and Does CURE a lot of Veterans and people with PTSD Why Can't the Government give the green light for research to happen ?
Alcohol sales would drop, they're big donors.
So glad you're feeling better, Arte et Marte.
Yes, I can testify that they heal your brain! Helped me to process trauma in a healthier way and develop a new perspective. It really helped with trauma release. God bless psychedelics.
I hope I can treat extreme childhood abuse by a Psicopath mother and home violence witnessing till 11 and later adoption. My body hurts , I’m 31, young , good carrer, but .. my health.. is starting to fail. Some days I just don’t move from my desk chair. Having extreme fatigue… I hope microdosing helps me…. This videos are encouraging
I got mushrooms, dmt ,lsd and more from this specialist who guided me through anxiety and depression.

@@michealgeorge57did it help I was sexually abused for years as a child im 28 now I feel like I’m dying my body is deteriorating my brain feels like it’s dying
Been living with PTSD for years, and only recently heard about Psychedelic. would love to try this but not sure which way to turn 🤔

3:07 Its true. They heal, a one-off treatment, long lasting and safe. I had my first magic mushroom trip where I ate 5g of fresh Psilocybe cubensis 6 months ago. The trip only lasted about 3 hours and was quite emotional but wasn't too bad. Ever since that day I no longer had any flashbacks that would emotionally ruin my day, I sleep better at night, and had a better sense of love and understanding towards other people. It really does work!
did you only got 1 trauma and or depression etc? how long did you suffer ? good to hear that you're better.
@@jaimerr8826 I had many bad memories from my school to university days ranging from bullying to failures in my studies. I started to notice the decline in my mental health around 2015 when one day I broke down crying on how badly I was doing in life. I was a full blown "doomer" in 2019 at which point I was done with university but still unemployed for 2 years.
@@MrDannyArcher TNX for replying. sorry to hear that. I have been on multiple meds and for the last 8 years on parnate. had beter times but I'm desperate for a year now and tapering down parnate for 6 months. did you had rumination anxiety depression and now self esteem? sorry to ask.
@@jaimerr8826 yes you can say I had rumination anxiety and depression. As for self esteem. I am not afraid to talk to people when they approach me but I am slightly afraid to approach people, even to just say hello. For example, giving a power point presentation in front of a class wasn't that big of a deal to me but randomly approaching strangers and making small talks is.
I'll refer you to where you can get your psychedelic
The psychiatrist against may sound all rational but he doesn't know what he's talking about.
That government needs to let research take place much more easily.
Depression and PTSD are vile to live with( if you can call it a life).
It says a lot about any government that restricts research that could help with this terrible mental illness.
I'm not advercating people should just go and take it without medical supervision.
However the research must be done more quickly.
I have personally used psychedelics for depression and anxiety. It works and it’s absolutely inhumane to keep this medication from those suffering. Here in the USA LSD and psilocybin and ketamine are healing people. Our FDA is fast tracking them as we speak. What that psychiatrist is missing is that people don’t have decades to wait for people like him to warm up to the idea. Also it’s proven fact that psychedelics are far less addictive than alcohol or hard drugs.
Psychiatry is controlled by people who make the psychiatric pills.
Guess this Psychiatrist hasn't been suffering from Ptsd or anyone in he's family.
As long as its Doctors handling it and not some guy in an alley lol.
Knew a guy who picked shrooms to help with losing a family member in a fire says it's the best sleep he's ever had
@@john.powell645 Thats anecdotal though.
Doctors are not the right people to handle these things they are spiritual medicines not pharmaceutical drugs. A shaman, witch or someone who's experienced should be the ones administering these things. And I'm saying this as someone who's taken part in these things. Other than physical safety a doctor would be useless unless they understand the spiritual side of it and are trained in how to work with it.
Not much a difference as long as you know you’re getting from a reputable source
@@wickzedadventures2549 Is that why you make your own paracetamol?
No thank you, I will let professionals handle that.
There is always money for more war, but never enough to fix the broken after. Unfortunately Veterans can’t rely on their government for help, at times it truly feels like they want you to hurry up and die because you are a burden. This is why Veterans helping Veterans is so important! To those who are suffering keep up the fight, and remember the ones that are not with us anymore, use their memory to keep pushing. Happy Memorial Day 2024 🇺🇸
i think this is probably only true with 1 trauma, not with inherited stuff. or multiple things
I know a young person who had some issues, went on a journey to South America, came back a different person… far worse in many ways.
Much of the life previously known was gone, no longer even a memory of it. No desire to work. Does not like it that work is required to exchange for others to provide basics like food & shelter. Now questions things like if taking controlled substances are bad, after consuming & being in an abnormal state.
College educated. Before, used to work as a safety engineer. Now, does virtually nothing, currently dependent upon a disabled elderly parent.
Some will call this anecdotal, but the behavior difference is clear & employment history are hard facts. In my youth… we called such people “burn outs” for a reason. Similar behaviors are exhibited.
Not wanting to work for food & shelter, when physically able, is not a beneficial side effect of such things. Care must be taken, with powerful chemical agents.
We should turn to nature more and what it supplies rather man made?
@@andykendall5171 - “we should we turn to nature…”
Man made vs Nature made is probably not the best comparison.
Apples 🍎 are organic, but eating apple seeds like sunflower 🌻 seeds might kill us.
Nature offer figs as well as uranium, consuming uranium & using figs for fuel is insufficient… processing uranium offers ability to create immense quantities of energy, allowing space craft to travel outside of the galaxy!
Everything has a purpose and must be used according to it’s purpose.
Except for mosquitoes… I can’t figure out what the purpose is for mosquitoes… 😂
Far worse by your standards, how does he feel he is doing?
Psychedelics can be bad for some people, and traumatised people need support when they do psychedelics. From what I've seen, they only cause big problems with people who were already predisposed to schizophrenia. More testing is needed, and there should be a questionnaire to identify potential risk factors, e.g. a family history of schizophrenia etc. They should only be taken in a safe environment, with friendly people who know how to help people work through trauma. But anyway, this kind of care is needed for all patients. People with a chronic illness are more likely to be abused and traumatised. Abuse can cause chronic illnesses. I read a study that said depression makes diabetes 4.5 times more expensive to treat, and other studies have shown the same pattern. Doctors who aren't trauma-informed can do a lot of harm, no matter what medications they prescribe. It shouldn't be so hard for doctors to just be caring with their patients. It makes such a huge difference in outcomes, it should be taught in every medical school.
@@joshgreen8034Being dependent on an elderly disabled person is objectively doing worse. It’s one thing to question society and try to find alternative ways to living as an independent adult. It’s another to make someone else fund your Thoreau experience.
Taking LSD squared me away! He’s REME! Nuff said.

I'm sorry, one shouldn't be able to weigh in on controlled psilocybin therapy unless you've undergone the John Hopkin's/King's College Protocols. 'You' endure/experience it, and then talk to me. I underwent the protocol with a group therapy session in Jamaica. It was the most painful experience of my life, but also allowed me to resolve my PTSD of familial loss. I witnessed it helping others who had lost family members to cancer/suicide etc in our group and the results were astonishing. Note, they consider exclusion criteria: Bipolar & Schizophrenia and severe CV disease.
I'll refer you to where you can get your psychedelic

Yea psychedelics are the fugure
yes
The problem is: if you can heal mental health issues, the gonverments make less money.
Government, hmmm🤔, and now Sunak burden goes on.
I think any any new miracle drugs should be fully tested & researched before given the go ahead.
I say this from being a veteran thats spent nearly a decade getting a grip of my PTSD.
I think drugs can help. But it was not until I had intense therapy sessions, using various techniques, that I began to get a grip of my life.
They aren't new miracle drugs they are the oldest form of drugs we have and are making a come back.
These substances have been used therapeutically thousands of years. They aren't recently manufactured drugs. Entire religions have been created around them. I'd say they've been tested well enough.
I couldn't get through trauma blocks until psychedelics healed the pathways in my brain. Psychedelics in a therapeutic environment is safe and beneficial.
Yeah, we're blinded by their own experience.
And we, as mankind, constantly spin our wheels as we relearn what we've already known. Mushrooms have been used by man for thousands and thousands upon thousands of years.
That does mean we should stop learning, or relearning. It means we should ask ourselves why has this been for so long and what benefits can we get for our own current experience from it and if there are any drawbacks.@@timharper4246
Alcohol is the true gateway drug. The fact that it’s unscheduled is hateful and hurtful
l'll refer this mycologist who introduce MDMA it helped me treat my depression and anxiety, check him out he also guide newbies on proper trips moments.

It seems psychedelics are the only solution to CPTSD because I dont hear of any success stories otherwise 🙄
I got some psychedelic products from an online store

Literally, I never hear success stories from people with cptsd like me. It gets demotivating like what’s the point?? But now I feel hopeful knowing there’s something that can fix it at least
@@summero-my5in The problem for me is that they're generally illegal in my country. Not sure where everyone's getting theirs in America unless it's done illegally
Straw man arguments from the anti-drug professor. The urgent need is to reclassify these drugs in order that academic/medical research can advance without the current severe restrictions. That reclassification would NOT make the drugs readily available to the entire public.
He is a close minded fool, under the right circumstances psychedelic therapy WILL save lives.
Its amusing to watch these fools in the medical community try and get between us and the plants. You don't need a therapist. You just need to trust the plants.....they make life possible and they certainly know how to show us the way to heal.
CAN YOU STOP THE FLOW OF DRUGS? (ANSWER: NO)
CAN YOU STOP DRUG USERS FROM USING? (ANSWER: NO)
CAN YOU DECRIMINALIZE DRUG USE AND STOP SENDING ADDICTS TO JAIL?
(ANSWER: YES)
CAN YOU TAX OTHER DRUGS THE WAY WE DO MARIJUANA (ANSWER: YES)
No it wont cure it. At least not in my case. Just relieved some hellishness from Afghanistan, and thought the docs were taliban interrogators. Or soviets from the 80s. 😂
Than yelled at a lamp which I thought was the devil for 5 hours.
Other times i just talked to garden gnomes. One good thing was, i had a good night sleep afterwards. But PTSD is still there. And i still take other stuff to help me sleep.
And i have many veteran friends who regularly use it, with similar results.
It takes more than 1 time mat e the Shaman I worked with had to take it 16 times to fully heal from trauma. That being said it isn't for everyone but they do work. You have go go through the pain first and that's what people don't understand about these things.
@@WillHoward2002 And doctors don't always have the skills or the right personality to guide people through trauma. You need a good guide, and you need to do some work inside your head. You can't just expect it to go well if you don't have an environment conducive to healing.
Few more years and we will travel space with it... just like Dune, now all we need is Spacing Guild and some proper Navigators.
Could've done without that numpty at the end who was completely anti-drugs. Your profession failed this man, he went to Peru on a spiritual journey with a shaman instead and it worked. Modern medicine as a whole is great at some stuff, and terrible at admitting when it isn't so great. It's like they want to right off traditional methods as mumbo-jumbo or "dangerous" because they can't brand it, charge us or our country for it or use it to get people hooked.
They is no money to be had from mumbo jumbo! That's the issue
Unfortunately the stigma has been sewed, and many men will die due to people like him preaching about something they have no understanding in. Under the correct circumstances, psychedelic therapy can do incredible things
Great content, awful soundtrack. Irritating, artless and WAY too loud, interfering with with the voices. EDIT!!!
This is why drugs should be legalised in the U.K. , get with the times politicians
