🤯 "MDMA therapy = more than twice as effective as placebo"

The results of MAPS second phase 3 trial were published today in Nature. The MDMA group achieved remission of PTSD at more than twice the rate of the placebo group after 3 sessions.

What's next? MAPS will use this data to support a new drug application with the FDA. MDMA assisted therapy could be FDA approved for PTSD as early as Q1 2024.

Huge congrats @MAPS & @rickdoblin

“This turnaround has major implications for the power struggle between the UK and Scottish governments, shifting the balance in favour of the Scottish National party and its more enlightened approach towards addiction.”

@ProfDavidNutt have you ever considered the use of VR headsets in any studies to eliminate the ‘rather unsettling environment of a scanner’
Whilst still artificial, a VR walk around through nature could improve the patients mood and participant in a trial

Prohibition is harmful but the below is an unscientific overstatement. There's no evidence that "most" of the harmful effects of drugs are from prohibition. Alcohol & tobacco are legally regulated but much more harmful than many other drugs. They kill orders of magnitude more.

[David Nutt @ProfDavidNutt]

Certainly my book provides overwhelming evidence that targeting serotonin with drugs that stimulate the serotonin 5HT2A receptor eg psilocybin or release serotonin ie MDMA are powerful therapies for treatment resistant depression and PTSD, and need to be used in the UK asap.

[Rhys Jones @RhysJPharm]

Peptides like BPC-157 seem very promising and should be extensively researched on humans.

Growth hormone releasing peptides are also another very interesting topic which could be useful in the future. MK-677 being an orally bioavailable GHRP.

[NootBro @nootropicguy]

BPC-157 and TB-500 could put THOUSANDS of doctors out of business

These 2 miracle peptides repair muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, & more

Like cortisone shots, except they actually work...

Will expedite natural healing time by 3-5x

Nothing like them IMO 🔥
