Dr. Michael Johnson is no stranger to alien and UFO-related experiences. However, this is the first time that he’s going public in such a manner as now, and we are honoured to be one of the first ones to have interviewed him in this capacity. Dr. Johnson is a retired Harvard Medical School psychiatrist and professor, having received his BA from Earlham College in Richmond Indiana, and MD from Indiana University School of Medicine. Following his medical residency in psychiatry, Dr. Johnson served as a “Lieutenant Commander” and “Staff Psychiatrist” at a US Naval Hospital, subsequently moving to Boston to become the “Psychiatrist-in-Chief” at the Massachusetts Osteopathic Hospital, before eventually taking the position as Staff Psychiatrist at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Cambridge. Dr. Johnson’s first contact with abduction experiences was just after a fellow renowned Harvard physician, Dr. John Mack, referred one of his abductee patients to him. After hearing of the abductee’s experiences, Dr. Johnson continued to research the phenomena and has gathered an incredible amount of material. From ever-advancing neuroimaging technology, to increased professional interest from across the world, Dr. Johnson has been at the forefront of the medical investigations of abduction. During this interview, we begin by exploring Dr. Johnson’s experiences from the beginning. When did he first come across the Alien Abduction Phenomenon? What makes a case particularly believable or compelling? How much is “real,” and how much is merely a psychological anomaly? Furthermore, how has the abduction experience evolved over time? We then explore how certain experiences might have geographical correlations. Furthermore, what about the involvement of psychedelics? Is what we see under certain influences “real” or “all in our heads”? How have ancient civilisations interacted with psychedelics in the past? Could certain substances facilitate our communication with “other-worldly” entities? Also, what about the treatment of mental disorders? Could this type of research help with general psychiatric experiences? What is the exact relationship between substance-induced psychedelic experiences, and involuntary experiences? What does ayahuasca and DMT teach us about these topics?

School nurses are facing many changes in the policies and protocols for administering epinephrine at school. Laws have been passed in over 45 states that allow the use of stock epinephrine.

On Jan. 18, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in nearly a decade. It was known throughout much of its development as TMC125, and is now known by its generic name, etravirine, and the brand name of Intelence. Etravirine's approval follows on the heels of the approvals of four other new antiretrovirals, making this an unprecedented time in the history of HIV/AIDS medicine. To learn more about etravirine, and its potential impact on the treatment of HIV-infected patients, we spoke with Dr. Cal Cohen, research director of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and Community Research Initiative of New England in Boston, Mass. He is also a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Cohen has participated in research on etravirine, and has also received funding from Tibotec, which developed etravirine.
