A spat has erupted between two top schools in Makhanda, Graeme College and Kingswood College, following accusations that Kingswood College had implemented an “aggressive” recruitment policy that is severely impacting on Graeme College and also other schools. Graeme College headmaster, Kevin Watson and SGB chairperson, Cameron McConnachie, signed the letter to parents and guardians, in which they also cut all sporting and other ties until this matter is resolved. “Reports indicate that Kingswood offers reduced fees to Graeme College learners, matching their current school fees, to encourage them to transfer. “During this time, a large number of our learners have to Kingswood, with many more being approached, often discreetly,” Watson said in the letter. He said the Graeme learners targeted for recruitment are typically high achievers in academics and sport, as well as children of families who consistently contribute to the success of Graeme College.“This recruitment strategy is not only disruptive to the school’s operations but also deeply demoralizing for the Graeme community. “While not unlawful, the active recruitment of Graeme learners undermines the relationship between our institutions and threatens the stability of the school,” said WatsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*This episode was intended to be released on Monday, December 30, 2024. While the video version was released on YouTube on that date, apparently I forgot to complete the process of scheduling it to go out on audio platforms, and only noticed the error on Friday, January 3, 2025. I apologize for the error.In this solo episode, I close out the year by reflecting on the significant events and personal growth I experienced throughout 2024. I ask myself questions about my guiding values and decision-making processes when faced with challenges, and explore what I would like to take with me and to leave behind as we enter 2025. I share a bit about personal hardships I faced this past year, including a choppy start to the year as the highs of a paradisiacal vacation ended in worsening illness culminating in a new low. This experience led me to seek even more novel treatments for my symptoms, specifically a stellate ganglion block procedure, which I discuss in detail, highlighting its impact on my nervous system and overall well-being.As I navigated my health struggles, I made the difficult decision to step back from therapy to focus on consulting, allowing me to prioritize my health while still providing support to parents of gender-confused youth, eventually resulting in developing my course, ROGD Repair. I delve into the importance of listening to our bodies and trusting the process, which ultimately led to the development of this niche program that applies my strengths in psychology and communication to the novel challenges facing families today.Throughout the episode, I also confront the challenges of being in the public eye, including the unexpected backlash I faced in May, and how I am learning to find humor and perspective in difficult situations. As I look forward to 2025, I share my intentions for the new year, including wedding planning and the launch of continuing education courses for therapists, all while maintaining a focus on connection and community. 00:00 Start[00:01:18] New Year's intentions and reflections.[00:06:49] Navigating personal health challenges.[00:09:30] Stellate ganglion block experience.[00:12:55] Effects of SGB medical procedure.[00:17:10] Therapy vs. Consulting Transition.[00:23:39] Niche consulting for parents.[00:25:36] Friendly fire and hidden enemies.[00:30:24] Relationships with podcast listeners.[00:33:09] Healing through positive relationships.[00:37:16] Nature of evil.[00:44:09] Synchronous communication versus asynchronous.[00:46:16] Finding ikigai and gratitude.[00:51:32] Embracing the aging process.[00:53:17] Non-toxic lifestyle choices.[00:57:44] Ego-dystonic versus ego-syntonic.[01:01:51] Healing through humor and levity.[01:06:21] Clear-eyed compassion and eye health.[01:09:06] Growth and perspective in life.[01:14:00] The power of positive perception.[01:17:01] ROGD Repair community benefits.[01:17:56] Desiderata by Max Ehrmann.

Dr. Eugene G. Lipov is a physician researcher and board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in intervention-based pain management in the Chicago area. He is best known for his treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder using the stellate ganglion block - an injection-based technique that "seems to 'reboot' the body's sympathetic nervous system. Simply put, it's a localized injection to the neck that can immediately provide relief for pain relief, circulation, and notably, post-traumatic stress disorder - a one-shot injection that claims to nearly cure PTSD altogether. Having authored over 40 medical publications alongside his upcoming book 'The God Shot: A Breakthrough That Forever Changed Trauma Care' and having treated hundreds of veterans across a number of global military branches, it's safe to say that Dr. Lipov's work is on the very edge of what's possible in relieving PTSD in the veteran community. His work has saved countless lives of countless warriors, even including some of Mike's own circle of former operators. Are we at an inflection point in medicine, where we may soon find a real, genuine solution to post-traumatic stress disorder? Should we be embracing new language to de-stigmatize the term, shifting from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) to PTSI (post-traumatic stress injury)? And most importantly - does SGB truly work as well as Dr. Lipov claims?  ---------- Support Dr. Eugene Lipov -  Get Your Copy of Dr. Lipov's Book 'The God Shot: A Breakthrough That Forever Changed Trauma Care' at https://thegodshotbook.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dreugenelipov Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreugenelipov Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elipovmd LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenelipov ---------- Sponsors:  ---------- TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTS Be Your Dog's Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog's health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise. https://www.teamdog.shop  TEAM DOG ONLINE TRAINING Mike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog. Based on Mike's bestselling book “Team Dog, Train the Navy SEAL Way”, join tens of thousands of families that successfully trained their way to a better dog.  https://www.teamdog.pet  SHOP ALL THE MIKE RITLAND BRANDS  Get all your Mike Ritland branded gear - Mike Drop | Trikos | Team Dog https://shop.mikeritland.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Gauteng Education Department says it is confident about its position regarding today's High Court challenge by the school governing body (SGB) of Pretoria High School for Girls. The SGB is taking legal action against the department, demanding the release of the full report on the racism probe and a halt to any actions based on the report's findings. The probe was launched in response to allegations of racism, including a "whites-only" WhatsApp group where racist comments about black learners were shared. Twelve students were initially suspended in July this year, and the principal was also suspended for allegedly failing to address the issue when it was brought to her attention in 2023. For more Elvis Presslin spoke to Richard Wilkinson, an independent blogger and author who has provided in-depth coverage of the Pretoria High School for Girls scandal on his website, School Capture

Today, The Frontier Psychatrists welcomes back my friend Ben Spielberg. He's been a reader for a long time and has contributed to the newsletter in the past. It was on Clinical Trial design, a perennial favorite around these parts.With only light edits, what follows is his work, narrated by me, for the Audio Version.I would invite you to the live class today on working as an out-of-network provider, but it sold out last night, so you'll have to wait for the next one. My prior article on Spravato is available here.The year is 2024. OpenAI has just launched its latest update to ChatGPT, promising more natural and less artificial-sounding language. Donald Trump has won the nomination for President of the United States. Another chain of ketamine clinics has engaged in a corporate reorganization. There is conflict in the Middle East. Are we sure that we're not living Groundhog's Day?I am the founder of Bespoke Treatment, an integrative mental health facility with multiple locations that has at times been referred to as a "ketamine clinic." I have also seen countless so-called "ketamine clinics" sell for pennies on the dollar and go bankrupt seemingly overnight. In this case, Numinus, a company that was publicly traded in Canada and owned a number of psychiatric clinics specializing in ketamine in the US and Canada, has sold its clinics to Stella (a company that has stealthily become one of the larger mental health providers in the country and is the first to bring the awesome SGB treatment to scale). It's not the first time this has happened. It's not the second, nor the third, nor even the fourth time this has happened. But yet, the common consensus is that ketamine clinics are a cheap, easy business with recurring revenue. So, what gives?Figure 1. A reddit user asking anesthesiologists if they should start a ketamine or Botox clinic for easy cash on the side. Does this make you feel gross? Should it?The Ketamine Clinic Model 101The most basic outline for a ketamine clinic is as follows: a provider rents an office space with, on average, five or so exam rooms. They buy equipment for infusions like a pump, catheter, needles, and syringes. They buy some comfortable recliner chairs. They hire a receptionist to answer phones, field patient questions, charge credit cards, and handle medical record requests. They hire a nurse to insert the IV, monitor vital signs, check blood pressure, juggle multiple patients at once, and make sure the ketamine is flowing into patients' veins unencumbered. Two SKUs are typically offered: ketamine infusions for mood, which last approximately 40 minutes, and ketamine infusions for pain, which last for up to 4 hours. Zofran is offered for nausea, and some clinics have fun add-ons like magnesium or NAD. An average mood infusion costs around $400-$500 in a medium cost-of-living area, while mood-infusions can run up to $700 in a higher cost-of-living area. Some clinics offer package discounts if patients buy six or more upfront, which helps with cash flow for the clinic (cash now is better than cash later, of course).A Note on Scope of PracticeThe first wave of ketamine clinics was started mainly by providers who were not mental health specialists. Instead, they were owned by anesthesiologists, ER physicians, and sometimes CRNAs. These providers were especially experienced with ketamine in hospital settings, as well as setting up infusions. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, do not usually order infusions in outpatient settings, and very few had actual hands-on experience with ketamine in practice. That being said, there are a number of variations to the model above: psychiatrist-owned ketamine clinics would often prefer to use intramuscular injections in lieu of infusions, but 2-3 injections would have to be given during a single session for mood and pain sessions were out of the question. Other ways to save costs might include having an EMT do the actual injections (this is highly state-dependent), asking nurses or MAs to work the front desk, or working a full-time regular doctor job. In contrast, your nurses run the actual ketamine services via standing orders, a written document that details routine and emergent instructions for the clinic.Some clinics offer full evaluations prior to rendering treatment, but many offer a simple brief screening on the phone to check for contraindications before scheduling a patient for their first session. The clinics owned by psychiatrists have historically been a bit more thorough in terms of the initial psychiatric evaluations, given that they can actually perform initial psychiatric evaluations within their respective scope of practice. Sometimes clinics may have therapists on-site who can render ketamine assisted therapy (meaning, therapy occurring concurrently) for an additional $100-$300. Otherwise, there is not much decision-making that goes on— other than deciding on medication dosages. Most infusions start off at .5mg/kg of body weight, which is by far the most evidence-based dosage. In practice, most clinics increase dosage every session because even though ketamine is considered to be a weight-based medicine for anesthesia, there is thought to be a “sweet spot” of dosage for everyone, if one can imagine an inverted U shape curved, where the ideal dosage for each patient is at the tippity-top of the inversion. Dosage increases are highly variable depending on the clinic: some have a maximum dosage, some will only increase a certain percentage, and some may even use standardized increments (e.g., only offering dosages in increments of 50mg). A typical series of infusions is 6-8 over 3-4 weeks, followed by boosters as needed.Fool's GoldAt first glance, the business model seems fantastic. As a cash business, there are no AR issues, no third party billing companies to deal with, and no prior authorizations to fight over. Sure, the cost is high, but it's not that high compared to many other healthcare services. Since the benefits fade over time, a ketamine clinic has built-in recurring revenue from patients every week, month, quarter, or year – it's like a subscription business! Ketamine is trendy and sexy; TV shows like White Lotus mention it, and ravers from the 90's recall it with great fondness. Unlike SSRIs and psychotherapy, ketamine works for depression fast. It's amongst the fastest treatments for depression that we have today, and there are a lot of depressed people. It can help someone out of debilitating depression in 40 minutes. It has none of the un-sexy side effects of SSRIs like sexual dysfunction, gastrointestinal discomfort, or uncontrollable sweating. Instead, it has sexy side effects: euphoria, hallucinations, and feelings of unity with the universe. Also, unlike SSRIs, it helps most people who try it. It really is an amazing treatment, and I often feel grateful that my clinic is able to offer it to patients in needFigure 2. Most business-savvy reddit user.Supply and Demand… or SomethingMood disorders disproportionately affect individuals who are of lower socioeconomic status compared to individuals with a lot of disposable income. Of course, wealthier individuals are no more immune to mental health disorders than anyone else, but the main target market that benefits most from ketamine just do not have the means to afford it. They don't have $3,000 to burn on yet another treatment that may or may not work. Often, the patients who could really use a series of ketamine infusions cannot scrounge enough money for a single infusion, let alone a whole series and prn boosters. However, there should be enough depressed people with cash to throw around out there… right?Wait, Isn't That A Horse Tranquilizer?Of course, ketamine clinics can find more patients via marketing and advertising. However, I've found that many medical doctors who see this population, like primary care providers, are not up to date with the research. When I first launched my company, I used to go door-to-door to medical buildings in Santa Monica with cookies to speak with them about advancements in interventional psychiatry. I cannot count the number of times that I was laughed out of each office; referring providers are risk-averse, and the perception of ketamine has traditionally been poor. Medical doctors would exclaim, “Of course people feel better; you're getting them high,” and lament that I was administering a drug thought to be highly addictive. Psychotherapists, who would also be fantastic referral partners, generally refer to psychiatry, but it's less common for them to refer to specific treatments. Nowadays, psychotherapists who are particularly invested in ketamine can sign up with venture-backed companies like Journey Clinical and render their own ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with some prescriber supervision. The issue is that despite the media attention, people with depression don't read innovative health newsletters, nor do they review papers in scientific journals. They rely on information from their psychiatrists, medication management providers, and psychotherapists. If they are not told that this is an option for them, they won't hear about it without ad spend. Oh yeah, and there is a major issue with ad spend: the word ketamine itself is a restricted drug term, and legitimate clinics routinely get banned from Google and Meta for mentioning it, which makes digital advertising more difficult than it would be for any other legitimate service.The Matthew Perry EffectKetamine is very desirable for some patients (unfortunately, sometimes the patients who want it most are frankly the worst candidates for it), but I'd wager that the majority of patients who need it are kind of scared of it. They want to feel good, they want relief from depression and trauma, but it's a weird thing to do a drug that is a horse tranquilizer and also an anesthetic in a reclining chair in a medical office that tricks your brain into feeling like you're dead for a little bit. It's kind of far off from acupuncture and more traditional alternative medicine. There is certainly a non-zero addictive potential that needs to be carefully weighed, it's not a particularly comfortable experience for many patients—especially those with a history of trauma—even if it helps after the experience is over. Additionally, the famous actor from the most famous show in the world, who was deemed to have a cause of death relating to ketamine, isn't exactly helping mass adoption. Overall, this just makes marketing and advertising even more expensive, because a) the majority of referring providers are skeptical, b) patients can't pay for it and c) patients who can pay for it are cautious.Disruptive Business ModelsIn the model I've described above, there are 3 sets of cost centers: rent, staff, and marketing. In some areas of the country, rent may be negligible, and in others, it is quite high. Like an owner-operated restaurant, if a clinic is owned by a company that is not a clinician, they have to find one and pay for one. Venture-backed companies like Mindbloom, Better U, and Joyous have also created entire businesses on the back of the COVID-era controlled substance waivers, whereby they send patients ketamine tablets and/or lozenges directly through the mail. Unlike the clinic model, they don't have rent to pay, and since national marketing campaigns are often cheaper than hyper-local brick and mortar campaigns, they are able to find new patients at lower acquisition costs compared to their clinic counterparts. Some patients do extensive research before treatment and only want to find IV clinics that offer specific dosages, but many are fine with the cheapest ketamine possible, and would prefer to pay as low as $150 for an entire month compared to $3,000.Figure 3. Did you sign up for a discounted ketamine subscription on Black Friday after purchasing a new flat-screen TV?Spravato: Coming In HotJohnson & Johnson's branded esketamine (note the prefix es) is on track to reach coveted “blockbuster status.” While it was FDA approved for Major Depressive Disorder in 2019, it took some time to catch on for a number of reasons including skepticism that the added es only added to pharma pockets and didn't actually work, health insurance companies taking time to decide on what their medical necessity criteria should be, and social isolation due to COVID-19 being a thing. My clinic has become one of the larger Spravato providers in the Los Angeles area, and while we still offer ketamine infusions, our infusion census has decreased by over 70%. The scenario is this: a patient with severe depression comes in to see us, they've heard about ketamine, but they find out that Spravato is covered by insurance for a $20 copay. Maybe ketamine has slightly better efficacy (which, in my opinion, is really just a function of being able to adjust dosage). Still, patients would prefer paying a lot less money to receive almost-the-same benefits.Death By A Thousand SticksThere are a number of other issues with the model that become problematic, especially at scale. Large medical distributors like McKesson and Henry Shein have instituted CYA policies, limiting ketamine sales to licensed anesthesiologists. Medical malpractice carriers alike have followed suit, requesting detailed addendums from providers regarding their ketamine training or flat-out refusing coverage for anyone who isn't an anesthesiologist. Since controlled substance manufacturing is directed by the DEA based on their own predictions, it's not uncommon for ketamine to go on shortage for weeks to months at a time. There are a myriad of problems with the model of point solutions which have been detailed here already, but in short, the old adage rings true: if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and if all you have is ketamine, everything looks like a juicy vein. But while ketamine is a highly efficacious treatment, it's not the best treatment for everyone, and patients can become downright dysregulated after ketamine, which a clinic in this model just can't handle adequately at scale. And ultimately, methods to do everything cheaper don't work out that well. For example, putting multiple patients in one room may seem like a good idea, but it is ultimately not conducive to the actual ketamine experience. Any sort of vertical integration also adds an insurmountable amount of complexity, like starting to offer Spravato or TMS, because now they have to start accepting insurance, become in-network, manage billing and AR, and so on. Depending on location and the clinic set-up, they also require specialized providers onsite.Figure 4. Supply chain issues abound.Insurance IssuesSome patients try to be well-informed. They, rightly or otherwise, don't believe everything they hear from their providers, so they call up their health insurance companies and ask. They just call the phone number on the back of the card and ask the representative if ketamine infusions are covered. Undoubtedly, the representative says yes—even though many insurance companies have published guidelines that explicitly deny any coverage for ketamine for a mental health disorder. These patients come in frustrated, distrustful of their providers and reaffirms their belief that ketamine clinics are just cash grabs. Even if one manages to obtain a coveted insurance contract for ketamine, like Ketamine Wellness Centers had with the VA, it kickstarts cashflow and complexity issues that scale should sort out, but ultimately doesn't because of the aforementioned issues above.Overall, it is possible to have a successful ketamine clinic in 2024. Still, it isn't easy due to market conditions, the population served, and the ever-changing landscape of mental health treatment. While many successful clinics exist today, the wheels tend to start to fall off when scaling, where all of a sudden, a clinic's reach has surpassed its captive population. Otherwise, it becomes a series of continual cost-cutting until there is nothing left to cut… save for the business itself.Ben Spielberg is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bespoke Treatment, a comprehensive mental health facility with offices in Los Angeles, CA, and Las Vegas, NV.

Jak rozmawiać o wartościach, żeby się porozumieć? Do odpowiedzi na to pytanie chciałam się chociaż zbliżyć, w ostatnim odcinku serii o wartościach. Zapytałam więc dr Joannę Ziębę, współzałożycielkę Fundacji Nowej Wspólnoty, która to fundacja propaguje w Polsce naukę dialogu. Rozmawiamy o koniecznościach, które muszą się wydarzyć, żeby rozmowa o wartościach miała sens - otwartości, ćwiczeniu uznania różnic. Myślimy o rozmowie jako o wyjściu ze swojego obejścia, żeby się znaleźć w ogródku drugiej osoby, nie zadeptać tam wszystkiego i dowiedzieć się, co słychać. Odcinek konkretny, wnioski - zaskakująco pozytywne, a po drodze trafiamy na dwa skarby, których nikt się nie spodziewał.

Czym dla osób żyjących w Polsce są wartości? Bo że są dla nas ważne, jesteśmy informowani nieustannie, na przykład gdy ktoś nami zarządza przy okazji wyborów parlamentarnych. Czy jesteśmy tak bardzo rodzinni, jak nam się wydaje; jakie miejsce ma praca czy jakości takie jak patriotyzm lub wiara? Jaka jest zupełnie nieoczekiwana wartość, której pragniemy niezależnie od tego, czy identyfikujemy się prawicowo czy lewicowo? O tym wszystkim rozmawiam z @socjolozki.pl czyli z Katarzyną Krzywicką-Zdunek i Dorotą Peretiatkowicz, próbując nakreślić naszą narodową panoramę wartości. Odcinek gęsty, pożywny i do konsumowania na spokojnie. Partnerem odcinka są Banki Spółdzielcze SGB. #współpracapłatna #BankiSpółdzielczeSGB

Trzeci odcinek cyklu o wartościach jest poświęcony ćwiczeniu indywidualnego myślenia o wartościach, które uwzględnia trzy obszary, na których wartości mogą przysparzać nam kłopotów lub powodować konflikty wewnętrzne/zewnętrzne. Po co myśleć lepiej? Żeby umieć się z własnymi wartościami dogadywać, nie dawać się oszukać i odróżniać wartości od czegoś, co je udaje. Oraz oczywiście, żeby odnajdywać własne sposoby na rozwój zgodny z nimi. Odcinek gęsty, treściwy i zupełnie pozbawiony wskazań jak żyć. Partnerem odcinka są Banki Spółdzielcze SGB. #współpracapłatna

Próbując zmierzyć się z tytułowym pytaniem rozmawiam z Zuzanną Kowalczyk, redaktorką Magazynu Pismo, o miejscu pracy w naszej kulturze, przekształceniach, którym podlegała od czasów, gdy myśliwi polowali, a tkaczki tkały sukno oraz o ważnej roli, jaką praca odgrywa w naszym życiu - współtworzenia naszej tożsamości. Zupełnie niechcący wpadamy na trop ważnej wskazówki, która może pomóc wielu osobom zniwelować opresyjny wpływ kultury na życie zawodowe.

Wakacyjny cykl otwiera pierwszy odcinek, który jest niezwykle esencjonalny i porządkujący różne podejścia do tematu wartości. Korzystając z teorii Schwartza opowiadam czym w świecie psychicznym jednostki są wartości, jak łączą nas ze sobą i przyczyniają się do tworzenia kultury. Przy okazji rozwiewam kilka mitów, jak ten, że wartości możemy uzgodnić raz na zawsze. Partnerem odcinka są Banki Spółdzielcze SGB. #współpracapłatna

Niemand soll mehr als zehn Prozent des Einkommens für die Krankenkassenprämien aufwenden müssen – das fordert die SP mit ihrer Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative. Das führe zu Mehrkosten und in der Folge zu Steuererhöhungen, befürchtet das Nein-Lager. Am 9. Juni 2024 entscheidet die Stimmbevölkerung. Die steigenden Krankenkassenprämien zählen zu den Hauptsorgen der Schweizer Bevölkerung. Mit der Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative will die SP Abhilfe schaffen: Künftig soll eine versicherte Person höchstens zehn Prozent des verfügbaren Einkommens für die Prämien aufwenden müssen. Für den Rest sollen Bund und Kantone mit Prämienverbilligung einspringen. Nachhaltige Lösung oder Symptombekämpfung? Eine Deckelung der Prämien sei nötig, weil diese in den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren deutlich stärker gestiegen seien als die Löhne und Renten, argumentieren die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter. Das führe dazu, dass mittlerweile auch für die Mittelschicht die Krankenkassenprämien unbezahlbar geworden seien. Die Gegenseite warnt derweil vor den Kosten der Initiative. Gemäss Schätzungen des Bundes belaufen sich die jährlichen Mehrausgaben bei Annahme der Initiative für Bund und Kantone auf 3,5 bis 5 Milliarden Franken. Um diese zu finanzieren, werde man um Steuererhöhungen oder Sparmassnahmen nicht herumkommen, so das Nein-Lager. Gegenvorschlag nimmt Kantone in die Pflicht Die Bevölkerung befindet am 9. Juni 2024 nicht nur über die Initiative, sondern auch über den indirekten Gegenvorschlag, den Bundesrat und Parlament ausgearbeitet haben. Dieser sieht vor, dass die Kantone künftig einen Mindestbetrag für die Prämienverbilligung aufwenden müssen, um die Prämien für einkommensschwache Personen zu verbilligen. Entlastet die Initiative der SP den Mittelstand? Oder droht am Ende ein Nullsummenspiel? Und was bringen Initiative und Gegenvorschlag im Kampf gegen die steigenden Gesundheitskosten? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 3. Mai 2024 in der «Abstimmungsarena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Initiative: – Mattea Meyer, Co-Präsidentin SP; – Daniel Lampart, Chefökonom SGB; und – Philippe Luchsinger, Präsident MFE Haus- und Kinderärzte Schweiz. Gegen die Initiative treten an: – Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, Bundesrätin; – Thierry Burkart, Präsident FDP; und – Michaela Tschuor, Regierungsrätin Die Mitte/LU.

Eine zusätzliche Monatsrente für AHV-Bezügerinnen und -Bezüger, um die steigenden Lebenshaltungskosten zu decken – das will die Initiative des Schweizerischen Gewerkschaftsbunds. Das gefährde die AHV, argumentiert das Nein-Lager. Wer kann die Stimmbevölkerung überzeugen? Es ist der erste Auftritt von Bundesrätin Elisabeth Baume-Schneider in der «Arena», und gleich muss sie gegen ihre Partei antreten: Denn Bundesrat und Parlament lehnen die Initiative für eine 13. AHV-Rente ohne Gegenvorschlag ab. Diese verlangt, dass die AHV neu 13-mal ausbezahlt wird – und zwar ohne, dass die Ergänzungsleistungen für bedürftige Rentnerinnen und Rentner gestrichen oder gekürzt würden. Faire Lösung oder Geldverschwendung? Das sei nötig, weil alles teurer und die Rente immer weniger weit reichen würde, argumentiert der Schweizerische Gewerkschaftsbund (SGB), der die Initiative lanciert hat. Die AHV verteile als solidarische Versicherung das Geld von besser zu schlechter Verdienenden um. Deshalb würden von einer höheren AHV-Rente Pensionierte mit tieferen Einkommen besonders profitieren. «Im Gegenteil», argumentieren die Gegnerinnen der Vorlage. Die Initiative wolle Geld an alle verteilen und bevorteile damit nicht nur Rentnerinnen und Rentner, die auf das Geld angewiesen sind. Dieses Giesskannen-Prinzip sei der falsche Ansatz. Ist die 13. AHV zahlbar? Wie die Mehrausgaben finanziert werden sollen, legt der Initiativtext nicht fest. Sollte das Schweizer Stimmvolk die Initiative am 3. März 2024 annehmen, müsste das Parlament über deren Finanzierung entscheiden. Laut Bundesrat würde die 13. AHV-Rente bei der Einführung etwa 4,1 Milliarden Franken und nach fünf Jahren voraussichtlich fünf Milliarden zusätzlich kosten. «Absolut finanzierbar», sagt der SGB. Die Initianten plädieren im Abstimmungskampf vor allem für eine Erhöhung der Lohnbeiträge zugunsten der AHV. Dadurch, dass die 13. Rente voll zulasten der arbeitenden Bevölkerung finanziert werden soll, werde der Mittelstand geschröpft, so die Gegner der Vorlage. Zudem würden die zusätzlichen Kosten, die teilweise auch der Bund tragen müsste, die finanzielle Stabilität der AHV gefährden. Kommen Rentnerinnen mit der AHV noch über die Runden? Trifft die Entlastung die Richtigen? Oder gefährdet die Initiative die finanzielle Stabilität der AHV? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 16. Februar 2024 in der «Arena» als Befürworter der Initiative: – Daniel Lampart, Chefökonom SGB; – Samira Marti, Co-Fraktionspräsidentin SP; – Magdalena Erni, Co-Präsidentin Junge Grüne; und – André Eisenstein, Rentner und Co-Präsident Avivo Zürich. Gegen die Initiative treten an: – Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, Bundesrätin; – Esther Friedli, Ständerätin SVP/SG; – Tina Deplazes, Kantonsrätin Die Mitte/ZH; und – Bruno Soltermann, Rentner und Präsident Liberale Senioren Kriens.

Au mois de juillet, le Pérou a recensé 4 décès et plus de 190 cas d'atteinte par le syndrome de Guillain-Barré, au point de déclarer l'état d'urgence. La situation est depuis suivie avec attention par l'OMS. Si la cause précise de ce syndrome n'est pas toujours connue, elle est souvent liée à certains facteurs déclencheurs donc les infections. Ce qui est susceptible de provoquer le SGB Maladie rare et grave, le syndrome de Guillain-Barré consiste en une inflammation des nerfs périphériques pouvant occasionner une paralysie temporaire ou permanente. Elle survient, dans 2 tiers des cas, après une infection. Ce peut être une infection respiratoire ou gastrointestinale, mais certains virus et bactéries semblent plus ciblés comme le virus de la grippe, le virus Zika, la dengue et la bactérie Campylobacter jauni. Il est supposé que le corps réagisse à l'infection en déclenchant une réaction immunitaire anormale, qui s'attaque aux nerfs périphériques des membres supérieurs et inférieurs. Concrètement, après l'infection initiale, le système immunitaire cible les gaines de myéline qui entourent les nerfs au lieu de s'attaquer aux agents pathogènes. La maladie dite auto-immune provoque des dommages au niveau des muscles et des troubles de la sensibilité comme des picotements ou des fourmillements. L'influence des vaccins Une étude publiée en 2022 s'est intéressée à la survenue du syndrome de Guillain-Barré après une vaccination contre le virus SRAS-CoV-2, communément appelé du nom de la maladie qu'il provoque, le Covid-19. Bien que des cas de SGB ait effectivement été observés après la vaccination, les auteurs mentionnent également que davantage de cas ont été mentionnés des suites d'un Covid-19 sans vaccination. C'est alors au médecin de déterminer l'ampleur du bénéfice/risque, notamment en considérant les antécédents de la personne et sa sensibilité immunitaire. Une autre étude relayée en 2023 par l'Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament a montré que les vaccins à ARNm ne présentaient pas de risque de déclencher un syndrome de Guillain-Barré. En revanche, les vaccins à vecteur adénoviral augmentent le risque d'apparition du syndrome dans les 6 semaines suivant l'administration de la dose. Le SGB après une intervention chirurgicale Les interventions chirurgicales sont une autre cause admise de risque de déclencher un SGB. Il s'agit d'un évènement rare, qui s'explique peut-être par le stress que le corps connait durant la chirurgie. Celle-ci est susceptible de provoquer une réponse immunitaire anormale, donc un SGB, alors diagnostiqué dans les jours ou semaines suivant l'opération. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's guest is Jamie Mustard, Co-Author of the book the Invisible Machine: The Startling Truth About Trauma and the Scientific Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Life. For more information about the Dual Sympathetic Reset Procedure, visit The Stella Center. Lorilee Binstock  00:16:58  Welcome. I'm Lorilee Binstock, and this is A Trauma Survivor Thriver's Podcast. Thank you so much for joining me live on Fireside Chat, where you can be a part of the conversation as my virtual audience. I am your host, Lorriely Benstock, Everyone has an opportunity to ask me or our guest questions on this show by requesting a hop on stage or sending a message in the chat box. I will try to get to you, but I do ask that everybody be respectful. Today's guest is Jamie mustard, co author of the book, The Invisible Machine, The startling truth about trauma and the scientific breakthrough that can transform your life. Jamie, thank you so much for joining me today. Jamie Mustard  00:17:55  Thank you for having me. I'm sorry. I've not used this platform before, so I'm just having technical difficulties. Lorilee Binstock  00:18:02  Oh, you are not the first one, and you will be the last So there's no worry there. I'm just glad we were able to get you on because I really am so fascinated by this because I've actually never heard about this. You co authored this book, the invisible machine, the startling truth about trauma, and the scientific breakthrough. Jamie Mustard  00:18:05  Perfect. I Lorilee Binstock  00:18:19  And this you did this with doctor Eugene Lipov. An anesthesiologists who developed this treatment. Could you actually describe it? Because you actually underwent this treatment. Correct? Jamie Mustard  00:18:30  I did. And one of the reasons, you know, a lot of people would ask kind of why would an artist coauthor look with, you know, Yuzhou Lab is more than a anesthesiologist. He's a you could say he's the Einstein of modern anesthesiology and a a scientist. So the question is, you know, why would write her all go author a book with that guy? And and the answer is kind of your your the way you kinda said at the top that you'd never heard of it. And the reason you've never heard of it is because it's been around for twenty years, and the military is using it. Yeah. And the military is used doing fifteen to twenty thousand of these a year. The second largest cohort getting it is sexual assault victims. Lorilee Binstock  00:19:04  Stop, really. Jamie Mustard  00:19:12  When I saw this, I saw something that, you know, whenever you see it on it's been on sixty minutes. It's been on Joe Rogan. It's been on CBS this morning. But when if you ever see it in the media, it's always at the extremes. It's always a navy seal, a fur a nine eleven first responder, when I came across this, I didn't see this as something for people at the extreme. I saw this as something that maybe could be affecting forty to fifty percent of the US and global population. So my work was to go, hey. This is not for the extreme. This is for society and everyone that is experiencing the symptoms that are associated with fight or flight that may never have even associated themselves with trauma. Lorilee Binstock  00:20:03  I mean, to be honest, I never associated myself with trauma. I'm a childhood sexual abuse survivor, and I didn't realize I experienced trauma. I thought that was just something really bad that happened that I will never talk about, but you're right. I feel like that this is very fascinating, and it's a non invasive outpatient procedure? Jamie Mustard  00:20:23  Okay. So, yeah, you asked me what it is. I wouldn't use the word noninvasive. I would use the word safe. Lorilee Binstock  00:20:27  Okay. Jamie Mustard  00:20:29  And minimally invasive. It's basically, he uses a needle to do what we well, we know it's safe because the shot was originally developed retaining hands in nineteen twenty six. It's now evolved. The doctor kind of reconfigured it and evolved it. So you it's now we call it he's evolved into what we're calling what he calls the dual sympathetic reset. And, basically, what you're doing is you're doing a pain injection that's guided that's guided by an ultrasound. You get a local anesthetic first, so you don't even it feels like nothing. And he uses an ultrasound to guide a needle that has a tiny you know, so a small amount of anesthetic in it, the same anesthetic that goes into an epidural, same two dollar amount of anesthetic that goes into an epidural. And your sympathetic nervous system is basically located in the ganglion, which is a nerves a a a a a a a a string of nerves that run from your amygdala all the way down your but your sympathetic your fight or flight system is in your neck on both sides of your neck. And what he does is he in inject this. God, I think it's I'm gonna get the name of it wrong. But yeah. But it's the same it's the same, you know, Lorilee Binstock  00:21:45  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:21:47  stuff that goes into an epidural. And what it does is it turns off your sympathetic nervous system, and it comes online about ten minutes later at baseline to the pre trauma state. So you're basically resetting the sympathetic nervous system. And what we're fine with what what they found is, you know, the adult trauma or blunt force trauma is on the right side. You can only do one side per day. K? You do two injections on one side, and then you can get the next injection the next day. Anything before puberty or childhood trauma is on the left side. And then yeah. So they'll always do the right side first, and then people that will have have had trial to hood trauma Lorilee Binstock  00:22:27  Well, Jamie Mustard  00:22:30  may not experience the reset. So they're starting more and more to to to both on almost everybody. Lorilee Binstock  00:22:40  Wow. You know, I I and, you know, I know about fight or flight, and I didn't know it was about a cluster of nerves in your neck. I'm wondering, is this why I have neck pain? Jamie Mustard  00:22:49  It might be I mean, you have to think of it like this. Well, first of all, Laura Lee, let me say thank you so much for having me. It's, you know, just a real honor to be here. Lorilee Binstock  00:22:57  Oh, of course. Jamie Mustard  00:23:00  You know, you there's two things that causes. One is blunt force trauma. Like, you and I are very Well, we're similar in this regard. I experienced an extreme massive amount of trauma as a kid probably that most people would never not be able to survive in any sort of meaningful way and live my entire life up until, I don't know, five years ago, seven years ago. Where I was in total denial that I'd even been traumatized. You know, in my in my upbringing, you know, growing up how I grew up is where I grew up in the neighborhood I grew up in. You know, being a victim was the last thing you could ever be. So I never Lorilee Binstock  00:23:30  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:23:39  the thought of thinking of myself as a victim was just not in my, you know, just in my in my thought profile. So I just didn't think I had trauma. I got therapy for the first time five or six years ago with your counseling. After about six weeks. This very lovely. I talked about this in the book. Therapists diagnosed me with, you know, acute post traumatic stress disorder. And it's not a disorder. It's actually a physical injury to the body, and you can see it on a brain scan. But she diagnosed me with PTSD. I laughed in her face, because I thought it was such a ridiculous thing. She her eyes walled up, and she looked at me And she said, Jamie, have you been listening to the stories you've been telling me? And I said, yes. And she said, how could you not? And in that moment, my whole kind of bullshit life narrative fell apart, and I kinda went home and hugged the cactus. I I started, you know, realizing not only you know, I I not only has I had I've been victimized. I had been you know, just completely savaged and ravaged as a child, you know, abandoned you know, at birth with strangers, you know, very little physical touch in and out of institutional environments. You know, all this stuff It was, you know, just severe, egregious trauma, and I was just like, wow. You know, that's normal. That's what I knew. Lorilee Binstock  00:25:11  Well, Jamie Mustard  00:25:15  Yeah. So so about five or six years ago, when my my first book came out, maybe it's less, maybe it's, you know, or maybe it was before that. I was starting to get to kinda where I wanted in life, and I for the first time ever was looking back. You know, I didn't wanna look back. But when I was getting what I wanted, my discomfort as a person wasn't going away. In my mind, I thought, god. If I'm just successful, I'll feel relaxed. And I was getting successful and feeling very unrelaxed, but actually more dis more uncomfortable than I'd ever felt, and I couldn't understand why. So I started when I got this post traumatic stress diagnosis, I started looking. I was friends I turned a literary juke with a a really well known military psychologist, Shawna Springer, Doc Springer, and she had started She was sending people for this procedure, and I ended up in the middle of COVID to have years ago, getting on a plane in the middle of COVID and going to Chicago in the winter to do this kind of what I thought was a very avant garde procedure. And it was very strange that I did that literally because when you grew up, like, raised by wolves or kinda thrown away like I was, you don't go to the doctor. So you don't go to regular doctors. Let alone go and do kind of new treatments. Lorilee Binstock  00:26:41  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:26:45  But I I when my first book came out, I had a very well known forensic psychologist named doctor j Faber, who works at Amen Clinic. He was a fan of my book, and he and I become friends. And so I just said as a friend, can you bet this thing for me? And it was all upside and no downside. And so I almost backed out fifty times, but I did it. Lorilee Binstock  00:27:11  Can you tell me what that was like? Jamie Mustard  00:27:13  Oh my gosh. Yes. It was the most transformative thing that I've ever done in my life, it completely changed my worldview. And that is because it was like, I had a lot of judgment towards people, you know, towards people where I grew up the bad neighborhoods where I grew up towards addicts. Towards people that were, you know, couldn't get their life together. I had judgment. K? When I had when I got both sides of this thing done, the discomfort that I'd been experiencing my entire life that I thought was a part of me I won't you know, was gone. It was just like I was me. I didn't feel I didn't even know I couldn't feel that way. I didn't even know because, like, when you're abandoned at birth, what's your I I never even experience baseline. Okay? Lorilee Binstock  00:28:04  Well, mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:28:07  So it I'm ever walking this is a good way to describe it. I was walking down the street after getting it in Chicago. I went to the Chicago Art Museum. I was there with friend who is supporting me. And I saw these, like, hustler guys on the street, and they were like and they were looking at me. And I kind of you know, that's something that's triggering for me. I really resent that because it kinda reminds me of my neighborhood, and these guys were looking at me like a mark. And, normally, that would make me mad. When I saw these guys, all of a sudden, I didn't see crazy people. I didn't see hustlers. I saw their biology. These guys are stuck in fight or flight. And I can explain to you what happens, but, you know, you don't need blunt force trauma. Like, what you and I went through to need this. The I think the biggest cause of this and why I think it's such a massive swath of the population, and why I think most people that have post traumatic stress. Don't even associate with trauma. You can get is that what one, two things cause this. One is blunt force trauma like what would happen in war seeing your buddy killed in front of you Lorilee Binstock  00:29:10  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:29:11  or a sexual assault. But the other thing that causes this, and I think it's the much more predominant cause is prolonged allostatic load, chronic stress over time. Okay? And so Lorilee Binstock  00:29:28  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:29:29  just so by by feeling that sense of comfort, my own body, and sense of relief. My it changed the way just I interact with people now when I see somebody reacting in fight or flight towards me rather than taking it personally or thinking they're crazy. I understand the biology of it, so it just I just I I have only compassion. Lorilee Binstock  00:29:54  That's amazing. That's amazing. And I and I feel that You're right. I feel like I don't know, like, probably ninety, even more than that percent of the population has dealt with chronic stress, especially in America. And I feel like, you know, everyone can benefit from from, you know, a a treatment like this. I feel like that there's every a lot of people everyone I know deals with a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety. And for something like this to be available and to you say twenty years. I'm like, what? I just heard about this, like, last month. And so I'm intrigued. Does this treatment need to be accompanied by ongoing therapy or or or what? What would you suggest? Jamie Mustard  00:30:43  It it it's a it's a great question, and and I'd like to answer it, and then I'd like to kinda back up and explain very specifically how one could get this and how a lot of your listeners right now are are going, well, do I have trauma and I know it? And how would you know it? And but something he's saying is resonating to me. So look with me. So I wish I could understand this more. So let me kind of explain the kind of how it works with other therapies. And then let me kind of back it up and explain why and how I came to write a book with who I think made the most preminent most important medical discovery since the discovery of Penicillin in nineteen twenty eight. And I would compare it as a human discovery to the moon landing. If we can reset the nervous system, it changes the world. And so I think this guy will go on to win the Nobel Prize because even if you compare it to the polio vaccine, you know, suicide is linked to fight or flight. If you, you know, fifty thousand people a year stopped dying because when they when the polio vaccine was discovered, I think, in the forties, That the amount of suicides this could could prevent in a year dwarfs that number compared to all the other ailments and physical conditions because this conduct if you have an a a novactive sympathetic nervous system, if your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, you're gonna have a cascade of physiological problems. It discombobulates the immune system. It destroys this scavenger system in the body, Lorilee Binstock  00:32:13  Right. Jamie Mustard  00:32:15  which is the system that is constantly, you know, keeping you from having autoimmune diseases, orthopedic problems, cancer, that system can get discombobulated. Right? So, you know, if the body keeps the score, that I would say this is the scorekeeper. But I think maybe backing it up and and and and kind of coming to how did I come to write an artist and and our come to write a book with a a a scientist. Right? But so, basically, I went and did this thing. My life was changed. And a couple months later, I got invited by two colonels that run all the training for special forces. To speak to come to Fort Bragg and speak to special forces at JFK auditorium regarding my book, The Iconist, okay, which is kind of like a Malcolm Gladwell type book to business communications and art book. And it was kind of crazy. You know, I'm a kid from the strums slums of LA, and all of a sudden, I was going to Fort Bragg and teaching site, you know, psychological operations how to create better counter propaganda against the Russians and the Chinese. You know, I mean, it's crazy. That I would be in that situation. So I got invited to Fort Bragg. When I got this procedure, the doctor came into the wait into the to the host op room. And he said, hey. And I wish I'd get it from the inventor, doctor Eugene La Bauch, my co author. And he said, hey. I was told to treat you like a VIP. Why? And I said, well, I'm an author, and we have a mutual friend. So our mutual friend, you know, I have a bit of a platform, you know, probably wanted to make sure I was taken care of. And then he left again, and then he came back. And he said, listen. This procedure is gonna this I mean, I get what what are you this the try this anesthesia, this thing that you just got in your neck, it's gonna wear off in about seven or eight hours. Can I pick you up at the hotel and take you to dinner? And we we talk about this in the book. And I said, Sure. You know, why not? And so he picks me up from the hotel. We go to this Mexican restaurant, this fancy Mexican restaurant with the windows open. It's raining. In the middle of COVID. The wind is blowing through, and he starts pouring glasses of expensive red wine. And download and gives me a three hour download of the science and history of this thing. And my mind and my my just mouth my jaw fell up. And I remember turning to my friend who was at the dinner with us. He kinda sped off in his Tesla. We Ubered home, And I turned to my friend and I said, we just had dinner with the smartest human being I've ever met. And, you know, I've met a lot I mean, I went to the one in school then economics. I know a lot of smart people. Right? Lorilee Binstock  00:35:04  Wow. Jamie Mustard  00:35:07  So so he and I so then a few I get back to Portland a few days go by, and I get a call from this guy, and he says, hey. I just read your book. And we just started talking, and we became friends. Right after that, I got invited to Fort Bragg. And I and the doctor couldn't believe that I was being invited to Fort Bragg by these colonel. So he said, hey. Can I come sit in the audience for your talk? I know they're doing my procedure at Fort Bragg, but they won't talk to me. I don't know how. So basically, I talked to these colonel. They had never heard of this thing, the DSR at that time. It was called the FGB, the slight gainly a block. But they started researching it. They called me back, and they said, yeah. We're doing ten of these a day, six days a week. They're they were doing three thousand a year Fort Greg alone. Lorilee Binstock  00:35:57  And was this on active military? Jamie Mustard  00:36:01  Yes. Lorilee Binstock  00:36:03  Interesting. So Jamie Mustard  00:36:04  So Lorilee Binstock  00:36:05  go ahead. Jamie Mustard  00:36:05  yeah. No. So the VA was probably doing more. But the lot what really, what happened is there was a post traumatic stress, meaning where I got really upset because I had to sit in you know, the colonel's arranged ten days of meetings. Even though it was six weeks away, it normally takes seven months to a year to get grand rounds at Wilmac. Doctor Lipa, the Dunground rounds at Walter Reed, the colonels arranged for the doctor to come with me and do Grand Rounds for all the doctors at Womack because they were doing the procedure at Fort Bragg based off of the ten year old paper. So it was to bring them into all the modifications because ten years ago, this thing was seventy percent effective in the relief post traumatic stress. Now it's up to eighty and five to ninety percent. So because of latest modifications. So he did ground rounds. And in one of the post traumatic stress meetings, I sat around for two hours and listened to these guys and come back from Iraq and Afghanistan and special forces guys. And their stories, and they were all told that they had a disorder, and it made me really angry because at that point, I knew one hundred percent that they had a physical injury to their body and that post traumatic stress disorder does not exist. It's post traumatic stress injury, is it physical injury to the body? You can see it on a brain scan. So at the end of that meeting, I expressed my rage at the fact that these guys are sacrificing their bodies, their families, their wives, their children. They don't come back the same. And then they're being then their government is telling them they're crazy. It may be mad. And I said that. And so I think the guy that runs the health initiative task force, I think he was kind of you know, he kinda saw me as this Arty Rider guy. He didn't know what to make of me. But when I expressed my truth. I think he kinda started to respect me, and he called me over at the end of the meeting. And he said, Jamie, have you ever heard of operator syndrome? And I said, no. And he showed of these symptoms on his phone. It was about eight symptoms. And the the symptoms that you would experience if you were running from a tiger Okay? And I and and that this is what happens if you're never in a fight or fight at Fort Black bragging. Or to say, you're never in a fire fight in Afghanistan or Iraq, but you just you're deployed at a firebase, and you have the stress of being away from your family, and maybe you could die that day from an IED or from something else. Right? So it's this prolonged allostatic load, but you're never in a fight. They call that operator syndrome. Okay? And when I saw that list of symptoms, Laura Lee, I didn't see the military. I saw the Mexican neighborhoods where I grew up in Los Angeles. And so my mind started spinning. Could it be that the stress of poverty or if you're middle class and the stress of having distant parents, a mother that needles you, a mean father, could it be that the chronic stress of that, a divorce could cause the exact same biological injury as someone coming back from war. Because the sympathetic nervous system is a machine, an invisible machine, hence the name of the book, the invisible machine. Could it be that that it doesn't think it's apathetic. So could it be that average people have the exact same symptoms in their body as someone coming back from war, but they don't know it because they just got it from having, you know, parents that didn't hug them. Or talk to them a certain way. And that and that's where my mind met doctor Lipov's staggering innovation. Lorilee Binstock  00:39:28  Yeah. I mean, that affects the majority of people. Right? These are these they they are considered, I guess, little tee traumas, but the react the reaction and the activation within the you know, the amygdala, it's all the same. Right? Jamie Mustard  00:39:46  Yeah. I mean, let me kinda tell you kind of how let me kind of give a primitive way of how one gets this. Lorilee Binstock  00:39:51  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:39:51  And then go and why don't I go over the seven symptoms? That way, the people listening can go, well, I don't have trauma. Then they can listen to me, list it, and they go, maybe I do. Right? Lorilee Binstock  00:40:01  Please. Please. Jamie Mustard  00:40:01  So yeah. So listen. I people, like, at the extreme, were seeking this out and finding it. But people like me were not and and, again, I wasn't the extreme. I just didn't know it. And I you know, my goal was to bring this to military My goal is to bring this into the light, and I think it should be more popular or known than LASIK. It contains the way we we interact. As a species. But, basically, you have to think of it as if you were running from a tiger. You know, you live in a jungle, you know, a bounce years ago, you're and you're and you're a tiger comes out of nowhere. Well, in the moment, It's Peter Levine's work. That guy, he wrote a book, I think, in the yeah. In the was it in the eighties or nineties cold run? Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:43  Yeah. Awaken. Awaken the tiger. Jamie Mustard  00:40:48  Yeah. Running from the tiger. Yeah. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:48  An unspoken voice. Yeah. It's a yeah. Awaken the Tiger. Yes. I've read I've read the unspoken voice of Peter Levine. I'm fascinated with somatic experiencing. But, yes, continue. Jamie Mustard  00:40:55  Okay. Okay. So, say, a tiger comes out of nowhere. You live in the jungle a thousand years ago. Well, what is gonna happen in that moment? Is you're gonna have seven or eight symptoms. K? You're gonna have seven or eight feelings. Your amygdala is gonna send a signal to these nerves on each side of your neck, and that's gonna jerk you into response. So you are walking on you're hiking up a mountain, and there's a cliff, and you almost slip and fall down it. Your amygdala sends a signal you signal to these are you on the swerve your car and hit somebody, but just you avert the accident just in time because your amygdala sends a signal to these nerves in your neck that jerk you in action to either flee or fight for your life. K? Fireflies. Lorilee Binstock  00:41:40  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:41:40  Well, typically, if that happens and it's something like swerving your car, you're heightened for five maybe three to five hours because you felt like you almost died. And then for for, you know, four or five hours later, you'll come back down to baseline. Right? But if the trauma is too great, like your buddy being killed in front of you, or you or then or a sexual assault, and you have this overwhelming trauma. The your your sympathetic nervous system actually gets locked into fire flight. So you're locked into feeling like you're running from a tiger twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year, seven days a week. K? So what would you experience if a tiger or leap out of you? You would experience anxiety. You'd be anxious that the tiger was gonna kill you. You'd have mild paranoia that the tiger was right there at that that moment. You would have a sense of doom. You'd feel like the other shoe is gonna drop every second because you knew the tiger was right there. You would be hyper vigilant about the tiger. You would be hyper aroused about the tiger. You wouldn't be able to sleep because you can't sleep if a tiger is chasing you. You would be highly reactive and have a hair trigger because you would need to be reactive to survive the tiger. Lorilee Binstock  00:42:49  Right. Jamie Mustard  00:42:55  K? And these guys that come back from Afghanistan and Iraq, a massive majority of them, something like twenty five percent of them all have erectile dysfunction because you can't have sex if you're running from a tiger. In the military, the ultimate form of fight, and the ultimate form of flight in the military, suicide, is the ultimate form of flight where people are changing to protect. It's the ultimate form of flight. In the neighborhoods where I grew up where maybe violence is acceptable, or life is cheaper, homicide is the ultimate form of fight. So I believe when you see these violence rates in the community that I live in, and you see these suicide rates in the military, it is one hundred percent an overactive sympathetic nervous system. So when you experience those symptoms, you can get that say the tiger never eats you. You're just in a jungle where there's lots of tigers. So you're you're carrying the stress of the type of tigers all the time. K? It it would be a it would be a survival mechanism. It would be a survival tool to be locked in firefly. It actually would help you to survive. K? The problem is if you're sitting at home watching Netflix, you know, eating Cheetos, and drinking, you know, a LaCroix, and you're feeling that way, it creates a really, really big problem. And and think about it also like this. We're meant to experience those symptoms, anxiety, paranoia, sense of doom or mild paranoid, hyper vigilant, hyper aroused, a lack of sleep, hair trigger reactivity. We're meant to experience that for about thirty seconds where we either flee from the tiger or we fight the tiger. K? And then we're supposed to calm down and be normal as humans. K? Those are supposed to be short bursts. Lorilee Binstock  00:44:43  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:44:46  Of fight or flight. If you have to experience like a tiger is gonna eat you in every second, twenty all the time. Which is what happens when your sympathetic gets stuck in fight or flight. You're gonna you're not gonna wanna live. You're gonna wanna kill yourself. We're not designed to wanna live like a tiger is gonna eat us every second. You're gonna either wanna kill yourself or you're gonna wanna kill somebody. Right? So there was a guy named Frank Oport who defined Lorilee Binstock  00:45:13  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:45:16  Stockholm syndrome, for the in the nineteen seventies for the FBI, and he's a very famous psychiatrist. And and in two thousand twelve, He's been working since two thousand twelve. He's been working very hard with others to try and get the name changed from post traumatic stress disorder. To post traumatic stress, injury, PTSD. So can I keep going? I don't you know, I don't be able to Okay. So okay. Okay. No. So so Lorilee Binstock  00:45:44  Of course. Yes. Keep going. No. This is fascinating. Jamie Mustard  00:45:49  so let's back it up. So let so everyone's different. Like, the You can, to a child, a father that is distant, a mother that needles you, that allastatic load for a child is staggering. And that person would not associate themselves with trauma. So I'm trying to get this away from just the extremes. I want those people to get it, but I'm trying to bring this to it. Kindergarten teachers, yoga instructors, plumbers, CEOs, accountants, attorneys. I'm trying to bring this to the every person. Right? But, you know, I think a really good way to explain this is Back at nineteen seventy, doctor Frank Ochberg, this guy that came up with a term post traumatic stress injury, And, again, you can see this on a brain scan, Laura Lee. So if I if someone has an overactive sympathetic nervous system and I scan their brain with a functional MRI, I will see overactivity in their amygdala, and I will see decreased blood flow to their frontal cortex. Normally to g to fix to kind of mitigate against that, and then we're gonna get after I explain this, we'll get to how it relates to other therapies. Normally, to mitigate against that, I might need six months of hyperbaric, no drugs and alcohol, Cademy, so as you know, I could do a million things, and I would only mitigate against that so much. To and I could get some decrease in that overactivity in the amygdala from all those therapies for years. And maybe I would get some increased blood flow to my frontal cortex. If you do this injection where you just reset the nervous system with no side effects no long term side effects. There's a side effect that day. They get you get it. And then the second day, you get it. And then by the evening of both days, it's gone. If you get the reset, you you're just a person again, and you're not having to use all these things to it's like physical therapy in a broken leg. You wouldn't do physical therapy over a broken leg. You'd set the leg, then you'd do physical therapy. So all these incredible therapies work but we're doing them over a broken leg. Lorilee Binstock  00:48:03  Right. Jamie Mustard  00:48:08  And so what you would see on a brain scan after doing a DSR dual sympathetic reset is that overactivity in the amygdala would be gone in a day. It'd be completely gone, and you have increased blood flow to the your frontal cortex in a way that that years of all those other modalities combined would never achieve. Because you're doing physical therapy over a broken leg. It also when you when you call it a disorder, it's incredibly stigmatizing, and you could even say inhumane if it's a lie, which it is because it's actually a physical injury of the body. So it's like, if you we don't have broken leg syndrome or broken leg disorder. When you call something a mental disorder that's actually a physical injury, it's very harmful. Incredibly stigmatizing. But if you call it a physical injury, you take all the stigma away. No one has a stigma for over you having a broken leg because you can see it. Lorilee Binstock  00:48:59  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:49:08  You can't see an overactive sympathetic, but it's just as broken as a broken leg. It's the best metaphor to describe it. And that's why we call the book the Invisible Machine, the StarLink truth about Trauma, and the scientific breakthrough that can transform your life. But what I'd like to do, Lorely, and then I'll kind of back up and answer your question next question. I think I think this is the best way for people to understand and and and unequivocally that what I'm saying is true. Like, I can hear people listening right now going, is that true? Is that true? Come on. How can it be a physical injury? I'm gonna say, well, here's how it's a physical injury. When I explain this, no one no one will question it anymore. K? Because I'll give you an an analogy that everyone can understand. Back in nineteen seventy, doctor Frank Ochberg published a book with a one through Stanford, scientists, the guy that came up with PTSD in two thousand twelve back in nineteen excuse me. He published a book called violence and the struggle for existence. That book was put out by Little Brown, It was the the the forward to that book was written by Caretta Scott King, the wife of doctor Martin Luther King because it was two years after his assassination. Violence in the struggle for existence. In that book, there is a chapter called biology and aggression. And and what what what these scientists explain is we one hundred percent know that trauma is biological. And the reason we know it, we don't know how, but the reason we know it is because if you beat or abuse a dog, a goat, a chicken, a cat, it's behavior changes. Either becomes highly aggressive, fight, or incredibly timid, flight. Well, we didn't just give that goat or that dog a disorder. It's not sentient in the same way a human being is. So doctors, we knew we've known for a long, long time that when we traumatize something, we've changed the biology. We just didn't know how until doctor Lipac first published on this in two thousand, I think, two thousand eight. Barack Obama endorsed this as far back as two thousand ten. So it's it's been out there. It's just always associated with the extreme. You know? So when pop when doctor Lipa published on this in two thousand eight, Frank Ochberg found him. Now they're close friends. So, obviously, we've all can relate to an animal that we know has been traumatized. We didn't give it a disorder. We know we've changed this biology. Doctor Lipov figured out how and then how to reset anybody to the pre trauma state. Lorilee Binstock  00:52:04  Wow. Well, I've this is this is extremely fascinating because, you know, I I am a huge fan. I don't know if you've listened to any of my podcasts prior, but I'm a huge advocate for psychedelic assisted therapy. But I I'm would you say that doing something like the DSR And then, I mean, do you if for it to go haywire again, you would just have to experience traffic and or or you're completely reset. Jamie Mustard  00:52:33  No. If you go traumatize yourself again, you're one hundred percent going to have to do this. You know? So a couple things I would, you know, say is one thing is, you know, what one of the things that got me started on this journey. Is that is a conversation that I had with Daniel Amon? Do you know who he is? Lorilee Binstock  00:52:53  Yes. I do. Yes. Very fascinating stuff. Jamie Mustard  00:52:54  Okay. Yeah. The ring that came to meet Daniel Amon is that forensic psychiatrist, doctor j Faber, who got me really started on this journey. I mean, I would not If I don't meet Kaye Faber, who runs the Encino Amon Clinic, who's probably the most bona fide forensic psychiatrist in the United States, maybe the world in terms of education, degrees, and board certifications. He was a fan of the book, The Economist. He contacted me on the website and said, can you come to LA and speak to inner city kids, and I'll pay you through my my foundation? And I said, well, hey, man. I'll I'll come to LA, and I'll talk to kids. But I don't think I could take money for going to my hometown and talking to kids. But but I'll come out and do it, but I I just wanna take your money. And but public speaking is a way that I make money, but just I wouldn't do it that way. Yeah. I wouldn't do I I told my agent that I couldn't charge for that. You know? And Lorilee Binstock  00:53:47  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:53:47  but this guy, he reads he and I become friends. So he's the one that vetted the at the time it was SGB, now it's DCR DSR for me. And, basically, I asked him about this because I was really wanting to feel better because I was successful And now I didn't have a reason for discomfort because I thought, well, if I just achieved my goals, I'll I'll feel good. And then I had all my goals achieved, and I was feeling worse than ever, and that was causing me to be very concerned. And what you know, and the precursor to that is you know, growing up in poverty, people you know, I was semi literate into my late teens. And I went from because through the a relative gave me an opportunity, to not be in poverty and to just focus on my studies for the first time in my life and to have eyeglasses and medical care when I was nineteen. And I went from doing remedial classes at a community college to graduating from the London School of Economics in just over five years. Lorilee Binstock  00:54:46  No. Jamie Mustard  00:54:47  And people say, how did you do that? Why did you do that? And the thing was I was desperate. I had lived in poverty and ignorance. And in my mind, I thought if I have affluence, which an education, that means I won't have pain. So if if if if if poverty and ignorance meant pain, affluence and education would mean no pain. So it drove me to this extraordinary overcoming of my life. And I remember arriving to the one in school of economics at twenty one or twenty years old, you know, twenty one years old Man. And thinking, finally, I would be I was away from pain, and I was around, you know, the some of the most smartest people in the world And when I got there, they had they were just as messed up and maybe had more problems than the people in the neighborhoods where I grew up. And so my whole premise fell apart, Laura Lee, because I thought, well, at least we had a reason to have these problems. We're dealing with, you know, reality every day in terms of aspects of survival. These guys are just have out everything that you can imagine, but they have the same anomalies and problems. And and so I was kind of disheartened and deflated because it didn't solve my problems. I didn't understand why everyone experiences this these aspects of existence until I went through this procedure twenty years later, twenty five years later. Okay? But So, you know, one thing that kind of got me on on this project also was three and a half years ago, doctor Lipbob teamed up with a private equity firm Sterling Partners and and Chicago. They are a multimillion dollar private equity firm to open up clinics all over the United States, which is called the Stella Center. And one thing I would say is the only place that has doctor Lipob's, what I would call, the Stella protocols. Doctor Lipob is the chief medical officer there. Is the Stella center. There's thirty five of them in the United States. If you don't go to a Stella center, you're not getting this. Okay? But without them, I would have never chosen to do a book because why promote a book to the world if it's not available to everyone? Right? But back to this conversation. Lorilee Binstock  00:57:03  That's what I was gonna ask. Jamie Mustard  00:57:05  Yeah. But let me tell you about this conversation with Daniel Amon, and then I'll shut up and open and let your your questions. So so doctor one day, doctor Faber said to me, we and I become friends. He'd written a book called Escape, rehabilitate your brain and stay on the legal system that kind of really where he where they were able to rehabilitate people's brains that had been through addicts, and I was really impressed by the data science in that book. And so one day, he starts insisting that Daniel, Eamon and I have to have a phone call. Right? So So he he forces Daniel Amon and I onto a Zoom call. I was excited about it because I get to meet, you know, the great Daniel Amon. I think Daniel Lima did not wanna be there. Lorilee Binstock  00:57:47  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  00:57:48  He was like, what am I doing on a call with this guy? And so what I did for the first four it was about an hour and a half call. What I did the first forty five minutes of that call was just asked Daniel questions. Why this? Why that? You know, just was curious. And I think after about forty five minutes later, And, you know, he said, how can I help you? Jamie, what do you want for me? And I said, listen. You're the one that's been leading the charge for the last thirty years saying, that mental issues or brain health issues, that they're biological. He knew nothing about the this aspect of the sympathetic nervous system, the SDB. I wouldn't say nothing, but it was not something he'd been investigating. He was mostly dealing with brain toxicity and TBI. Lorilee Binstock  00:58:30  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:58:31  And I said, listen. You're the one that's been leading this charge. So if I'm right and this is an a major part of the mechanism, a, then you just you need to be a part of it. You know, you're the one that you're the first person through the gate taking all the hits. Saying this stuff is biological. This is a major part of the equation. You I think that it makes total sense that you're a part of this. And so he this is forty five minutes in. I can kinda see him relax, and he says, hold on. And he starts googling right in front of me thoroughly. And I I we're I'm staring at him through the Zoom, and his kinda mouth comes, falls open, and he goes, and I said, what? And he said, hey. There is a very credible study here that says that this is seventy percent effective in the permanent relief of most ex post traumatic stress symptoms. And I said, whoa. Whoa. Whoa, Daniel? And then and he said, And I said, well, Daniel, that's an old study with the it's gotta be a ten year old paper with the recent modifications of the dual injection in the right and left side. It's at eighty five to ninety percent. Lorilee Binstock  00:59:34  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  00:59:42  And Daniel Lehman looks at me through the Zoom and says, Jamie, you don't understand. At seventy percent, this is no surprise winning work. I'll help you. Lorilee Binstock  00:59:56  Wow. Jamie Mustard  00:59:57  Yeah. And then he's been a massive partner for me. You know, I sent my first awarded people that I sent to Chicago because they were doing it wrong at Womac, was I a private jet company donated a plane to send thirteen of my special forces operators, to Fort Bragg, or no, to to Chicago. I scan their brains and name in clinic in Chicago, do this procedure on them over two days, scan their brains again less than forty eight hours later, and Amy. So Amy's been a massive supporter partner for me. I could not have done this book without him. Lorilee Binstock  01:00:29  Wow. Amazing. Amazing. So Is this procedure covered by insurance by any chance? Jamie Mustard  01:00:37  It isn't, but it's actually a not a very expensive procedure compared to the cost of talk therapy, the cost of all the other things that you could be doing out there. Compared to hyperbaric. You can there's a it's typically I think it's probably in the two to three thousand dollar range. But you don't have but it but then but the amount of gain or I don't know if I wanna use that word, but the amount of Lorilee Binstock  01:01:00  Benefit. Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  01:01:01  benefit, change, relief, comfort is kind of hard to It's it's it's too unbelievable. You know, it's it's it's it's I mean, it's it's it's like it's you just I was nervous to do it, Lolly, because I'm an artist, and I thought if my angst goes away, will I be able to create? Lorilee Binstock  01:01:23  Oh, yes. That's a very yeah. That's a very legitimate concern as an artist. Jamie Mustard  01:01:27  Yeah. But the yeah. But the thing is, like you know, think about it like but here's what actually happened. That was my concern. But here's what happened. If you're stuck in fight or flight and you think there's a tiger every second of the day, you're not gonna be able to experience emotion. You're not gonna cry during a movie, or have lovely moments with people. If you feel like a tiger is about to eat you all the time, you're concerned with a tiger. These mere nerves in your neck are lying to your brain. So when that when that went away and I was no longer in fire flight, I was ex my joy My ability to experience emotion was just freed, and it made me a far better artist. Lorilee Binstock  01:02:05  Wow. Well, I you know, I'm just I am bothered by the fact that there's so many effective treatments I feel like that are out there. And this being a Jamie Mustard  01:02:06  Yep. Lorilee Binstock  01:02:15  a huge one that insurance doesn't cover, but they'll they cover talk therapy for twenty, thirty years. Makes you wonder. But, yes, this is is this something that anyone's, like, lobbying for for for insurance to say, hey. This is mental health is a huge problem, you know, in our country and worldwide. You know, this is something that that should be covered for for the majority of people who probably need it the most are probably the ones that who wouldn't be able to spend you know, two thousand, three thousand dollars on it. You know, this this is this is this is my concern with psychedelic work or I mean, I'm ketamine is not my my one of the things that I advocate for, but, I mean, you know, the other stuff is illegal. But once it does become legal, you know, the insurance is is probably not going to cover it, especially immediately, and they're not even covering ketamine, which is legal. So is this something that, you know, somebody is is mhmm. Jamie Mustard  01:03:14  Oh, okay. It's a great question. It's a great question. And I will say that I'm a massive fan of ketamine. Okay? And the reason I'm a fan of ketamine is because of how it works. What you know, I'm not a fan of the disassociate associative state. I don't think that's how it works. A lot of people would disagree with me. Ketamine, the way that doctor Lip Bob, if you were here, would describe it, is like fertilizer for nerve growth in the brain. Lorilee Binstock  01:03:41  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  01:03:41  So a lot of people that have that are having mental issues You know, when I was on that call with Daniel, I kept using the term mental illness or something. He looked at me really sour one time, and he said, please. Don't use that term. Please stop. And I said, why? What's wrong with it? He goes, well, it's not true. It's not no one has that. I said, well, it's stigmatizing, and it's inhumane, and it's not true. And I said, well, we what what do you use? And he said brain health issues. Let's just call it brain health issues. Lorilee Binstock  01:04:15  That's legit. Yeah. Jamie Mustard  01:04:16  Yeah. So so, you know, Nathaniel's been scanning brains since nineteen eighty nine. His whole thing was when he started and he was a considered, you know, an out outsider for a long time and had a opposed, you know, even a quack. As the brain science has come in the last ten years, he's been hailed as a genius and hero. Okay? And but, basically, his view was, you know, if your arm hurts and I'm gonna get to the insurance, thing. I just wanna give this kind of entry to it. If your arm hurts or your leg hurts, you x-ray it. Somebody acts crazy, and you know one's looking at people's brains when they act crazy, he thought that made no sense. And that's why in nineteen eighty nine, over thirty years ago, he started scanning brains. In the last thirty years, it's made him the most famous psychiatrist in America that probably drugs people the least. His thing on drugs on on on psychotropics is when you use a psychotropic, which can be effective to give somebody relief, you're creating a problem to solve a problem. The psychotropic changes your brain so that you need it. So now you have two problems. That he thinks you know, so But so he's got a massive dataset of what of what of two almost two hundred thousand brain scans. So one of the things that we know is we know that alcohol ravages the brain in terms of blood flow and other toxicities. With Lorilee Binstock  01:05:38  Right. Jamie Mustard  01:05:40  THC is even worse. So we freed up marijuana. It's legal in the state of Oregon where I live, but it actually ravages the brain and creates all sorts of mental problems in terms of this the anxiety, and and then you need it just to feel normal, and you're destroying your brain. Okay? So all I'm interested in is the data science. But back to this insurance question, right now, this NYU study is being done. The army's been studying for years. So there's lots of incredible studies. There's one sixty minutes. There was a sixty minutes episode five, ten years ago that talked about the army study. But the right now, the the the there's a a study being done in FMRI or an FMRI study being done in NYU that makes this unequivocally undeniable. So I don't think we're far away from the insurance companies approving this. Also, the the doctor is connected to a nonprofit charity. Called Race PTSD now, and they're paying for treatment for a phenomenal amount of people. So you can apply to to that. But what I would say is, you know, get the invisible machine book, understand that a huge part of the book is explaining how this relates to all the other incredible therapeutics out there. I believe psilocybin works. We don't have a lot of data on the long term effects of it. But with with the DSR, there's no down there I don't wanna say there's no real downside. You get all of the gain. You get it instantly. And you don't have to worry about you know, I've had people tell me they do psilocybin and they have a really bad experience on what psychological or same thing with ketamine, which I'm a fan of. So this is all the upside with none of the downside, and you yeah, I had a doctor one time, a military doctor that was telling me that, you know, that there you know, this wasn't the only treatment, and I was overselling it and blah blah blah blah blah blah. And at Fort Bragg, and I and I said to her, okay. Let me ask you a question. Say somebody was in real trouble, and they weren't feeling well. And they can and then you have every modality at what your disposal to give them. What should they do first? And she said, well, they should do the DSR first because then we that they would get so far in so little time with no downside, that it would it makes everything else more effective. So what we're finding is that people that reset the It's the difference between physical therapy and a broken leg, Laura Lee. You physical therapy is gonna be far more effective if you reset the leg. You wouldn't do physical therapy over a broken mic. So you're gonna find that if you do psilocybin, where you do hyperbaric, where you do talk therapy, These things go exponentially faster and better and have more far more efficacy if you do a d s DSR first. The my most there's a again, all of this is parsed apart in the book, the Invisalign. The Temple of that book is a guy named Trevor Beenan, who is a guy that I was afraid of for about a year, who's now one of my best friends, and I was afraid of him. I was afraid of him because I interviewed him at Fort Bragg. He is a guy that was molested by a stepfather for eight years from eight to sixteen. The guy went to jail. He shot up medical heroin in Afghanistan. He killed people. He's seen people killed. And for thirty years, he was homicidal towards a stepfather in suicidal. The only thing keeping him alive was his wife and his children. This guy just hit just wanted to die. And so when I met him, I interviewed him for three hours of Fort Bragg, was the hardest interview I ever did. He started calling me wanting to talk, and I did not want that. I didn't want he wanted to send me stuff. I didn't want him having my address. I was terrified of this guy when I got back to Portland after that trip before Greg. The you the military does not want special forces doesn't want crazy special operators out there. So there's they get more resources than regular army. They they had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, you know, trying to giving Trevor, everything you could possibly reimagine, e m d r, every therapy, the the greenberry foundation, the military would pay for him to get better. Nothing worked. He was suicidal and homicidal towards his stepfather. After that interview, it took me six months to get her to Chicago, That was eighteen months ago, Trevor's just gone back to being a person. And Lorilee Binstock  01:10:15  No. Wow. Jamie Mustard  01:10:17  and the and, you know, and and what's and and, you know, you you would never know there's anything wrong with him. He looks like a guy that would be playing he he looks like an actor that would play a special forces hero in a movie. He's just a good looking white guy. You know? But he was beating him the Latin kings at eleven Lorilee Binstock  01:10:33  Yeah. Jamie Mustard  01:10:35  and grew up in poverty outside of Chicago, but you would never know it from looking at him. And so that so three months ago, he's doing ten in Portland, He came to addition for Ted in Portland a few months ago, and this guy that I didn't wanna even know before he did the DSR stayed in my house. Lorilee Binstock  01:10:55  Well, wow. Jamie Mustard  01:10:55  Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. So so the so that's how I I the the way I explained in terms of other therapies is set the leg, and then all these other amazing modalities out there will be so much more effective. Lorilee Binstock  01:11:10  You really have me. I'm like, after this conversation, I'm going to be googling where this is this treatment is available because I am extremely intrigued because Yes. I've done, you know, the psilocybin, the MDMA, and it has worked wonders for me. I was able to get off of all my SSM our eyes. And but there, you know, there are moments when I I I feel like my nervous system just gets goes haywire, you know, after like, four or five months after I've done it. So I'm wondering, like, am I I should I try this DSR treatment? And then continue along my IFS therapy and, you know, whatever else that that, you know, I'm doing now. And, yeah, I'm I'm extremely intrigued. Where can we find more information about where this is available? Jamie Mustard  01:12:02  Okay. Well well, can can I comment on what you just said about yourself? And then I'll tell you. Lorilee Binstock  01:12:05  Yes. Please. Jamie Mustard  01:12:08  Listen. You're any other thing that you're doing, you're mitigating against it. These things work. Like, yoga works. We're also not meant to live in artificial cities and virtual environments. So this system is a very useful system if they were in a tiger infested jungle, being stuck in fight or fight is actually very good. We actually it makes sense. That trauma is not a disorder. It makes sense that it's a physical injury because we would all have to have an identical response to fire flight or to trauma with fire flight if we're gonna survive as a species. It doesn't make any sense that it would be a disorder. Okay? We you were of a survival species. We have to have a homogeneous uniform response Lorilee Binstock  01:12:41  Mhmm. Jamie Mustard  01:12:48  to survival or we don't survive. K? But, you know, what you're doing when you do yoga, psilocybin I've seen wonders with psilocybin. And hyperbaric wonders, but a lot of that is your minute it's mitigation. Like, you have to do yoga. You have to run every day. Nature is incredible. You know, we're we're you know, I find, you know, nature helps mitigate against this, but we don't live in most of us don't live in natural environments anymore, so we don't have that mitigator. Lorilee Binstock  01:13:14  Right. Jamie Mustard  01:13:15  Right? So you can kind of reduce it and bring it down through holistic health. But the only way to reset it is to reset it. Okay? Again, the the Stella center. Go to I I think it's is it stellar center dot com? Lorilee Binstock  01:13:33  I might be able to find it. Jamie Mustard  01:13:34  Yeah. Let me Lorilee Binstock  01:13:35  Sela center dot com. Yep. You're right. Jamie Mustard  01:13:37  yeah. Yeah. Or go to talk yeah. I would also highly recommend Lorilee Binstock  01:13:38  Excellent. Jamie Mustard  01:13:42  if you're not getting this from Stella Center, I don't work for them. They don't pay me. K. I'm not a I just note the only place that has the modern protocols, which I'll call the stellar protocols, is the stellar center. I if you're not getting this, if you're not going to sell a center, you're not getting this. That's why I had to send my first cohort of people two years ago from Fort Bragg from Woamath, the most advanced medical hospital a military hospital in the world, I had to send my guys to Chicago. So first of all, Larlie, where do you live? Lorilee Binstock  01:14:16  I live in Washington, DC. Jamie Mustard  01:14:18  Okay. Well, they're Lorilee Binstock  01:14:20  There's one in New York, I see. Jamie Mustard  01:14:20  I would highly recommend Yeah. I do go to New York. No. Like like, you you're like, first of all, let's talk offline, but I I would I want you to go to Chicago and get it from doctor Lipoff. Lorilee Binstock  01:14:27  Yes. Jamie Mustard  01:14:32  Unequivocally. Okay? And if you do that, I'll get you a discount. Okay? Lorilee Binstock  01:14:36  Well, yes. Well, let's let let's chat after this conversation. She said, yes. That's a very Jamie Mustard  01:14:39  Okay. Okay. If you decide, there's pressure. Lorilee Binstock  01:14:42  no. I I'm very intrigued. I I'm trust me. I I mean, from where I was five years ago is just exponentially better. I don't recognize who I was, but I do have these moments where You know? I'm I just tore my ACL. I've just I'm recovering from ACL surgery, and I was single parenting for, like, a week, and my children just the sound of my children's voices up stairs screaming would, like, send me into, like, this, like, what is happening? I'm just freaking out over no reason. It's really because and I'm and I imagine myself and I think about Peter Levine's book where I was, like, maybe I'm I feel like a wounded animal with the just this this slight sound of, like, danger or any issues sends my nervous system, like, off the charts. And this was over the last week. Jamie Mustard  01:15:29  Yeah. One hundred percent one of the things I hear over and over, and this is true for me, is, you know, that moment where you just react, that's a physiological response. That is an overactive sympathetic nervous system. That's what went away when I got this. So you get that extra five seconds. You get that extra ten seconds where you're not having a physiological

I first met Shauna Springer -  or Doc Springer as her military clients call her  - when I interviewed her for one of her books, Warrior. There was something about her that I really warmed to and now am glad to call her a friend.
