Send us a textTHIS IS THE AUDIO-ONLY PODCAST VERSION OF A VIDEO PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED TO THE BAT COUNTRY ALCOHOLISM AND SOBRIETY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.Buy the Just Crazy Enough To Work audiobook, the story of my descent into alcoholism, read by me: https://www.batcountry.co/product-page/audiobook-just-crazy-enough-to-work-stu-nugent=======In 1955, Dr. Harris Isbell published a medical paper entitled "An Experimental Study Of The Etiology of Rum Fits and Delirium Tremens." On the face of it, the report simply described an investigation into alcohol withdrawal. The findings still inform treatment for alcohol addiction today. But look beneath the surface, and you find a legacy of human experimentation, sinister medical institutions, and CIA money. Sounds like conspiracy theory nonsense, right? It isn't. And it's very scary.This episode of Bat Country is a bit of a change of pace from the norm, and I'll be returning to the normal, more personal style videos now. But this was so interesting I just HAD to talk about it.As always, good luck out there.Email me here: [email protected]:00:00 Introduction00:26 Background and Context02:28 MKUltra & The CIA07:01 Dr. Harris Isbell10:57 Delirium Tremens & "The Rum Fits"14:15 The Experiment and the "Volunteers" 15:24 Methodology17:46 Meet The Patients23:04 The Experiment Part 1: Preliminary Period26:04 The Experiment Part 2: Chronic Intoxication33:14 The Experiment Part 3: Abstinence & Withdrawal41:00 Findings44:38 ConclusionBat Country site: https://www.batcountry.co/ Bat Country on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/batcountryyt/ Bat Country on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BatCountryYT Bat Country on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@welcometobatcountry#alcoholfree #alcoholrecovery #sober #soberlife #sobriety #alcoholism #recoverySupport the show
