As someone who has witnessed another take his own life, I would have been ecstatic for him to have tried Psilocybin. The meds he used to take, long before I met him, made him gain a ton of weight. He ended up getting off the meds and losing 187 pounds - the equivalent of another human being (that’s when I met him). He looked great on the outside. But without any meds, depression won that day. Aaron lost.

Jennifer, you are a tireless advocate for the health of your patients. I have a daughter who has struggled with severe depression. Ketamine has been a good but expensive and not so ideal remedy. SSRIs were horrible and worthless.

Jennifer what I admire most about you is the fact that you are willing to take some risk to improve the lives of patients who have desperate problems and no hope from standard medical practices.

We both saw the same problem with Covid and the refusal of the medical profession to even follow common sense and treat Covid aggressively after the first symptom with antivirals and other obvious remedies. Then as well as now you stepped out of that damaging paradigm.

Keep up the good work.
