And while they're in these chemical comas, he would put an audio device next to their pillow playing these psychic driving messages.

And he would put them in sensory deprivation chambers for weeks.

You know, they would have goggles over their eyes, earmuffs on their ears.

They would have cardboard tubes over their arms so that they couldn't feel anything.

And they would just be in a room for weeks on end.

The idea, again, being to induce enough stress so that it breaks them down so that you can eventually build them up.

One of the saddest stories in the book, really, is of this woman named Mary Morrow, who is one of the patients of Ewan Cameron in Montreal.

The sad thing about her especially is she had been a resident in training at the Allen Memorial Institute under Ewan Cameron.

So she had been training to be a doctor under him, and she had administered some of these techniques, including electric shock.

So that's one of the things, too.

We would put these electrodes on the heads of people, and just he would continually shock them until, again, the idea was to reduce them to like, in one case, he says, an infantile-like state where they lose control of their bladder.

They can't eat.

They can't talk.

They can't go to the bathroom on their own.

They can't put on their own clothes or anything like that.

So she was in charge of administering some of these, I mean, you know, therapy sessions or whatever they would call it, but just basically torture to these people.

She ended up having almost kind of a psychotic break herself.

She became anorexic and she failed her neurology exams.

And so she went into a really deep depression.

She attempted to commit suicide.
