Chad Harman on NeuroDirect Ketamine Cream for PTSD and Depression
May 17, 2023
Chad Harman is a leading figure in the field of mental health treatments using psychedelic medicines. He is the driving force behind a bioscience company that is focused on developing precise and targeted dosing control technologies for psychedelics. With years of experience in the industry, Chad has identified the primary issues that need to be addressed, such as the side effects that can arise from using such powerful medicines. He is dedicated to bringing these technologies through the FDA clinical trial pathway, and he is committed to making mental health treatments more effective and accessible to patients who need them.
In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking Neuro Direct technology that provides a new way of safely and effectively administering neuroeffective compounds without the side effects usually associated with oral or systemic administration. Dr. Ronald Ongdon invented the technology, and it has been used successfully for sumatryptin, a drug for severe migraines, and shows significant promise for the administration of ketamine for PTSD and depression. We'll learn about a recent observational study that showed an 80% favorable response rate to the neurodirect ketamine in an off-label format and how the cream's effectiveness can be seen immediately, unlike traditional SSRIs that require six weeks to take effect. We'll also discuss the risks associated with receiving treatments that haven't gone through the appropriate pathways, the urgency of effective treatments for mental health issues, and promising developments in clinical trials for the company's product. Additionally, we'll explore how Micro dosing with psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD has been gaining popularity, and how the guest's product may bring some of the benefits of microdosing to the market.
