Can you talk a little bit about the protocols that you guys are implementing and what does it actually look like if I wanted to start treatment with you, would you guys be addressing symptoms that I’m facing or do you have more of a, like an overall. Prescribed protocol that everyone goes through.
What does that look like? You know, we’ve got a couple of different tracks depending on how acute symptomology is. One of the big things with our program is get a good picture of what’s going on. Then we typically use a combination of ketamine infusion therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Again, not everybody qualifies for those. We VA requirements. And what are the requirements? So like the requirements for ketamine therapy or three failed antidepressants or acute suicidality. So if someone is having like, hey, I’m suicidal. I got to play and we’re like, cool. Got you. It’s kind of the same for TMS.
They typically want to see you try a couple antidepressants and fail. Little eye roll there, but we got to play the game. That’s one of those things too that we just talked about is we want to prevent the usage of these Yeah, well, psychiatry as a whole doesn’t agree with you, unfortunately. I agree, and listen, Well, I’m curious, so, I mean, you have true data that’s showcasing within a short amount of time, people are coming off SSRIs, people are fixing the issue.
They’re not necessarily coming off SSRIs, we don’t do a whole lot of med management within our program. I guess that’s a question I can ask. Yeah. Do you see people coming off them after they’re going through your protocol? It’s common for individuals going through this protocol to not feel the need to take antidepressants anymore.
Okay. Yeah, I see how careful you are. I have this needle, and I’ve got to thread it. Yeah, we’re talking broad strokes. Yeah, it makes sense. From an observer’s standpoint, typically, In alternative modalities, we see people come off of medication. We see people not feel the need to continue that medication or to begin to titrate off of it.
That’s common. Well, that’s, that’s the direction that I was going with. Why, why I asked that is if this is something that’s sponsored through the VA, this is coming from VA dollars in part, correct? Why would the VA who’s so conscious about their budgets, all that seems to matter to throwing long term money at people instead of short term 30 day plans.
40 day fixes that elevate you beyond that level that can help you to come off of these long term. I don’t think that there’s been enough people coming in to Making solutions that work within the framework and also deliver this. So it’s too early. Yeah, it’s data as well Well, it’s yeah, it’s data. They always say that it’s too inconclusive There’s not enough data out there.
And what do they need? They need 20, 30, 40 years of data before they start looking at it We’re just lots and lots of people and then since the 80s We’ve also been shoving lies down people’s throats and we think you’re gonna get your You Brain all holed up that the deer lion lied to you Yeah, that’s your brain bleeding I remember hearing that one night if you take a psilocybin That’s your brain building a bleeding when you’re seeing all those waves That was That is common thinking.
Yeah. Well, Hey man, we got sold a bag of goods. The war on drugs was just a war on information. Oh yeah, man. Absolutely. How different would the military be from like a, an alcohol related incident standpoint, if they were allowed to partake in marijuana? Oh my God. They would. Be non existent. How many privates would try to drive through the gate drunk?
Like, I bet we’d see that drop precipitously. Yeah. Yeah. The only thing they’re driving through is a bag of Doritos. Yeah. I’m inclined to agree. The alcohol is just poison. Oh yeah, man.
