would include psychedelic-assisted therapies, so we can talk about that, because they're not a panacea, they're not for everyone, and there are real risks, depending on the compound that is in question.
Brain stimulation, like accelerated TMS.
I literally just did another round of accelerated TMS two days ago, so we could talk about that, very fresh.
different types of non-invasive brain stimulation incredibly interesting so microchips over medicine in a sense i think bio bioelectric medicine is is one field where i'm paying a lot of attention bioelectric medicine yeah yeah so where can you use
Stimulation doesn't automatically have to be stimulation.
It could be something more like ultrasound.
But how can you use non-invasive technologies or even an implant to, say, change how your brain is firing or to inhibit or excite a certain part of the brain or to stimulate the, say, vagus nerve, in some cases related to
autoimmune dysfunction or rheumatoid arthritis for instance there's a piece on the cover of the New York Times not too long ago about this how can you use electricity in effect to treat issues with fewer side effects than pills or injectables or IV or whatever it might be so the accelerated TMS specifically I think is very interesting there's a protocol called the Saint protocol it's been modified in a couple of different ways but
the primary, or one of the best-known researchers behind that, unfortunately, committed suicide.
A few months ago, a friend of mine, Nolan Williams, developed a lot of these approaches along with his team.
But you see, in some cases, after a week, 70-80% remission of treatment-resistant depression.
Wow.
Wow.
With just as much, if not more durability than psychedelic experiences.
Wow.
I have a lot of... a lot of time
on the research side, also on the experiential side with psychedelic assisted therapies.
And I've taken copious notes for well over a decade on everything and know a lot of the people who are at the top of that field.
And I would say that bioelectric medicine is just as interesting.
That has had a huge impact on my life.
