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

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.

[@ErinCollective]

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

It takes will and practise but we are not as powerless as we're taught.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

[@scottsernub2984]

@@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 truly have been looking to get some so I can give to my mum in a perfect setting. With this mushroom - NOT DMT- it’s best to give therapy WHILST you are in a psychedelic state as the mushroom re wires your connections and what ever connections are made during the process become the dominant pathway. Therapy after will help but what is done during the time on it is most important. I am so so happy.

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.

in my teenage years when i was going through presure at school with exams etc, i used psilocybin mushrooms when they were pickable in the autumn months, at weekends me and my friends would pick and eat them raw, about 20 mushrooms each and enjoy a very relaxed weekend, i am not saying it is why, i do not have any depression even now in my 60's, i also took LSD, in my later teens, after i left school, but i have a propensity to deal with the presures of life i dont see in others, and deal with problems in life better than most people around me, i still have the ocasional day, maybe 1 a decade where i couild be described as emotional, but nothing like what my sister who sufers from depression goes through. i just hope they dont charge an arm and a leg, for ssomething you can pick in a field for free.

@@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.

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.

[@markpostgate2551]

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.

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

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. 🎉✨🤞

At 57 years old, I took my first deep psychedelic journey while sitting in an Ayahuasca ceremony. My intention was to be given the tools and the knowledge of how to use them, to rid myself of a lifetime of deep seeded fears which held me back and kept me in a constant state of depression, what I got was so much more. I had what can only be described as a “spiritual awakening” of my self, and an introduction to the depths of consciousness. This in turn gave me the courage to fully examine “me”, and through a process of deep examination I was able to discover the root causes of my fears, and release that trauma from my files, and thus releasing the depression that arises from holding on to the past. Plant medicines are hear for a reason, and they helped me heal myself in a way that none of the pharmaceutical bandages ever came close to doing.

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.
