Maybe it works, but keep in mind that most content on YouTube is a form of solicitation.

as someone with pdd-nos, ketamine started as a rave party drug for me.. but with time, i noticed ketamine made my disorder "vanish"… i never felt more human than when im on ketamine

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions—one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once

for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’

Let's make this breakthrough, revolutionary treatment for SSRI resistant depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, and who knows what else…. and let's make it ~$4,500 out of pocket.

For the record, I am going to experience my second dose. I am freaking lucky or blessed. Whatever you want to call it. This needs to be made affordable. It reminds me of California's Prop 215 for cannabis in 1996.

There are patients that can benefit from this NOW.

It's addictive & dangerous. Psilocybin is far more effective & safer.

The price for keyemine has gone up over the last few years. Don't ask me how I know this

Love how they have put price tags on our suffering.

As good as this is for many, it’s a dang shame that they refuse to use treatments that can’t be patented. Makes me disgusted.

That’s so expensive! I get my ketamine for like $60, and it lasts me months…. Plus, I can go anywhere and take it! The ocean, a river, a mountain top, my very dark bedroom, with an insane sound system, and TV.

I’m happy these guys are in profit though! Ketamine is an amazing. 🫶

Money always helps but I hope the spirit of whole health fuels the effort. Ketamine has been great for me as far as pain relief. And, my patient/clients are showing great relief as far as their pain and mental health. Thank all the investors who are helping with start ups for Ketamine. ❤

not to dash people's hopes, but imo ketamine treatment is a farse…in addition to being extremely unpleasant, it had no long lasting effects and was very expensive.

Wow good

Did I hear $4000 dollars for 6 treatments. Well, that's depressing. If you really want to make money, it's not going to happen just with the wealthy coming in for treatments. The smart move, is to open the door to the hard working folks, by offering payment plans, excepting insurance or two for one deals or buy a one week treatment plan get 2 days free. Now you save money and more people will be interested in coming into your establishment for treatment. Well that's my two cents of how I would market my business. 😊

PS: Lots of things can be exclusive. Until your not making money.😉

book a flight to INDIA, and get treatment in India, it's a ripp off in London 7k for ketamine, wot a joke

Psychiatry is an evil and dishonest industry. I don’t believe anything they say. The first hit is always the best, then it requires more and more, that is the psychiatrist’s strategy.

The Kowalski vs JHACH trial is pretty much a trial about Ketamine and how the treatment can get your kids taken away.

Ketamine is not a psychedelic

lol it’s only 300. In texas

I'm very very depressed, I have been on numerous drugs to treat my depression to no avail.I am desperate , though, I'm also a former drug addict with several convictions for drug possession I feel like I'm not abiding by the Iowa laws if in possession of this antidepressant.Is this a sister legalization both state and federal?

K doesnt get FDA approval, as this vid pointed out, trials costs billions and K is a generic drug. Meanwhile, big pharma comes up with novel, patentable versions of K, and those do get FDA approval but patients (and insurance) pay big bucks. In a functioning democracy, govt would pay for the trials for the generic version thus making treatment widely accessible to all.
