But the good thing about this is that science is here with studies like this to try and help.
And a lot of the time it's spending time with, you know, reducing yourself.
with the people and with the kind of good habits, but also that with the right control medication and understanding the the mechanisms within your body to provide you with the time to relax, to sleep and to process this PTSD, that there is help out there.
So if you need it, go look for it.
No, there didn't s uh there didn't seem to be side effects from it, which is I suppose one of the uh the the I suppose the uh the big caveats that often with what people would see that there's often if you've ever been in the US when they read out any medication, there's about a ten minute script after the advertisement of what might happen.
Um the other thing to realize about this though is that this was uh only a ten weeks study.
So you can't
Necessarily kind of go, well, there's definitely no side effects and after this.
You want to really kind of have a longitudinal study, and this is what will happen.
And why science is so good.
One study doesn't prove anything, it's a repetitive study that's you know peer-reviewed and checked again in other contexts with other groups, and then that's how we get towards an a more robust answer.
And that's probably the frustration with some people sometimes that why science takes a while, but we've got
to be sure and that's why these checks will happen.
So no side effects so far, which is very, very promising, but that still does need to be checked out.
Absolutely.
And I I think this is a case of it's it's um sometimes people feel that only medicine sometimes comes from pharmaceutical companies, but a lot of the stuff that pharmaceutical companies use comes from things that were tried and tested for years and years in other contexts.
Science is exploring lots of ways and I suppose to find any solution to to to to what might be uh uh I suppose a massive impact on somebody's life.
Mushrooms though, as well, I I like I said before, I've seen them.
I know a personally a friend who's actually gone through a process in another country with them to actually take mushrooms, be able to experience uh uh uh I suppose uh it was a was in a kind of a violent sexual relationship, wasn't able to deal with the process, but having taken this, I suppose, hallucinogenic, was able to be
sedate in reliving and kind of processing what had happened and dealing with it and then being able to let go further on.
