KISSD 2: KETAMINE CONFIDENTIAL

What is this book about?

The history of medicine and psychiatry has witnessed many times the untoward consequences of medicines profound professional ignorance without recognizing our error until generations later. Whether through the bloodletting of leeches, the prophylactic removal of every large intestine in the community in the hope of treating depression produced by occult sources of infection, or to the more recent ice pick rampages of thousands of frontal lobe scramblings (including the hapless Rose Kennedy) on the part of Doctor Walter Freeman as he travelled the country in his "lobotomobile" ice picking brains at every stop with the joy of an ice cream salesman.

But these people - for all the primitive harm that they produced - were actually trying to help these patients, despite the profound suffering that was the actual product of their dysfunctional medical treatments. This is in direct contrast to modern psychiatry that knows and understands the simple science of statistics and the results of comparing ketamine to all or any of psychiatrists SSRIs or SNRIs.

The statistics and understanding of these relationships are quite simple.

Where the antidepressant measure of SSRIs amount to a fraction of placebo, ketamines great boast, that we refer to as the Holy Grail of Depression, asserts that 70% of depression sufferers treated with the KISSD process will see 100 days of freedom from depression. No other medicine in the history of modern pharmacy has come close to this figure in achieving anti-depressant effectiveness.

To deny depression sufferers this KISSD process and its 100 days of freedom from depression, arguably the worst single disease known to Humankind, is to impose the most profound of antihuman sufferings available on to the most vulnerable members of our society.

And further - to make perhaps the darkest of these antimedical points excruciatingly clear - this foisting of pain and suffering onto their very own patients, psychiatrists do with an arm around the patient, looking deeply into her eyes, and whispering to them most lovingly the most despicable of medically false promises.

The truth of medical healing here is that psychiatry should be doing my job. Every psychiatry clinic should have access to ketamine and curing the depression that they can barely at the moment even touch.
