How MDMA Is Transforming Mental Health - Dr Dan Engle | Modern Wisdom Podcast 367
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Dr. Dan Engle is an MD, the Founder and Medical Director of Kuya Institute for Transformational Medicine and an author.
For the last 50 years, MDMA has been illegal whilst psychological trauma and depression has mostly been treated by trying to negate their symptoms through medication. After decades of research and lobbying, we are finally on the verge of being able to treat the root causes of psychological pain, by using the very same drug which has been around since 1912.
Expect to learn what an MDMA-assisted psychotherapy session is actually like, what makes MDMA such a useful therapeutic tool, the difference in effectiveness between MDMA and current psyche-meds, what the future of its availability looks like and much more...

Haven't watched the interview yet but I've had my own experience of pretty much overnight recovery from long-term depression thanks to a high dose of MDMA at a music festival. Basically I went home and spent the rest of the week waiting for the inevitable "come down " and the cloud of depression to descend again....and it never did. I can only describe it as like the pleasure centres of my brain being reactivated so I could feel true enjoyment from the little everyday things in life again.
Awesome story man and happy to hear things are better for you. I want/need this for myself
@@vv7299 It's been about 8 years and I rented my house out and left the West. I love my life so I highly doubt it's coming back.
@@vv7299 My personal opinion is that the "chemical imbalance" thing is both right and wrong at the same time. A chemical imbalance does happen but it is caused by long periods of negativity, boredom, rubbish life circumstances etc. For me MDMA and probably hallucinogens reset the brain and the individual then has to build on that positively by changing and improving their lives.
Unfortunately there is no easy advice for people stuck in a negative cycle other than to "play the long game", live frugally, save and when you have enough make the changes you desire. I can assure you that having autonomy in life is one of the best antidepressants out there, but in our culture you have to- in a sense- buy it. I am currently in Argentina and have met many people earning a few dollars a day who would love to have the opportunities we have in the West but frankly probably never will. If you can save in euros, dollars or pounds you have a hell of an advantage on a global scale. You can live comfortably on less than $20 a day in many developing countries.
I am happy to hear of your awakening.
MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by Merck chemist Anton Köllisch. At the time, Merck was interested in developing substances that stopped abnormal bleeding.
Let's hope what MAPS and Dr Rick Doblin are doing here in the UK has a major impact for anyone suffering from the maladaptive effects of PTSD and any trauma that cannot be resolved through conventional means.
The addiction treatment aspect is VERY encouraging.. this should be shouted through a megaphone..
All of it. We retarded human development by fifty years. Whether we blame those that "abused it" for fun for giving it a bad name or tyrannical government zealots (or both) the result is terrible.
Chris - you really are the master curator of guests. What a great interview! I learned so much about a growing field that I knew little about. Thanks for your effort to find great guests.
This field is very interesting. Anything to help people break free from the shackles of a suffering mind and take personal responsibility for their own life, is truly a worthy cause of pursuit. Can’t wait to hear more about this. Dan Engle emanates loving kindness, just listening to him talk about the subject was relaxing and inspiring.
This dude is awesome.
at first sight I thought he was a crack head
@@yungsteazy the fuck goes on in your mind lol
@@yungsteazy why? Healthy weight. Healthy skin. Bright eyes. Controlled emotional response. Articulate. Sounds like you have a broken heuristic modeling system.
"Crisis precedes transformation every time." Fuck, let's hope so!
'Lights are bright and you can feel power close to you, you can even taste the glitter on the morning dew, sounds are soft, the world is kind, and friends are nearer now, when the sun arrives the walls will all break down' - Appropriately inspired lyric my sister wrote years ago...
Jiu Jitsu would be a good base level practice. Staying calm with someone trying to pull your head off has to be of benefit.
YES!
The ability to stay calm as someone is putting pressure on your chest/belly restricting your breathing - is very beneficial. Learning to relax, shallow breath, and work your way out of the situation is critical. Sometimes, all you can do is wait till the opponent moves, which will allow you a brief opportunity to escape or reverse the situation.
Great podcast, thank you
Excellent interview, very informative and insighful. Thanks
Loved it, fellas. Preach the truth!
Fascinating stuff 👍
cool, cool stuff, very, very exciting
He cured me from epilepsy. He is a good man..
11:00 that's definitely true. My wife struggles with this. When she was about 4 her mom had premature twins, so her parents were gone to the hospital for several weeks. No one would tell her what was going on so she assumed her mom and baby twin sisters were dead.
No Chapters in the video?
If only I could be treated by a man like this . I live in mental and physical pain every day. Drugs.
Australia is a prison now.
Prisons have more drugs?
That phrase "I lost myself in the music" was not my experience. Being a nightclub LJ it was "I found myself in the music". For me, I lost my self in the sex on mdma, whilst in the moment it was exiting, after I would feel hollow.
When will the UK get this lol
please add time stamps man. Its a long podcast.
It's pretty short, but I agree.
Timestamps incoming soon. Blame Assistant Ben for being busy today!
@@ChrisWillx assistant Ben needs a talking to! Lol.
Spirits and souls talk. So.. a crazy person with very useful ideas.
Suggest a better camera set up for the doctor. Talks with his hands so, bouncy.
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off...
Star Trek V isn't as bad as I remember
Please talk to dr.Ben Sessa or Rick Doblin. This was not an expert.
His CV says expert. I'm sure there are better experts but expertise is like a black belt, just the beginning of the journey.
What's that pattern in the background.. and what subliminal impact does it have on people
Thinking about doing some mushrooms or some mdma to try to get off kratom only wount to do 1 dose thats my limit per year 1 dose of mushrooms, 3 years ago I quite smoking cigs and drinking booze now I have 1 vice left so I'm asking wat would be best ive never done mdma, but done alot of shrooms in my life
Kratom sucks, huh?
One heroic dose a year or six months is not extreme. May or may not allow you to kick the Kratom. Good luck. Considering doing it for the first time being very aware of the risk/reward.
@@quaaludecowboy692 yes it does I had broke my arm a year and a half ago and the hospital didn't give me any pain meds (glad they didn't sorta) and to help I started taking kratom because I had heard it helps with pain alot and I regret it. Yes it worked but with my slightly addictive personality it grabbed me now I go threw around 150 grams of white mang da a week was doing close too 400 a week but bein tapering down I just wount to be done you know
@@renaissancestatesman I've done shrooms abunch of times in my early 20s but now (just turned 30) I try to only have a trip once a year just to humble myself and look at the past year in a introspective way and if I will need to do em more than once or twice im fine with that I just wount to be done with this stuff I tried cold turkey 3 different times and ended up staying awake for 2-3 days every time then dosed again just so I could sleep
"IS"??
MDMA made the first truly beautiful generation......that became criminalised, ostracised and left to flounder....
...But it's so terribly addictive. It also exhausts the body's ability to produce serotonin by hyper stimulating it in a burst.
I'm concerned those could become the new version of opioid or xannax abuse.
A safer alternate might be 5-HTP (provided the person *isn't using* SSRI meds, anti-anxiety or antidepressant medicines).
"Terribly addictive." Don't use subjective hyperbole as an attack. Nobody gains. Be specific and account for all the variables.
Anything can be addictive. It depends on who is using it.
Lmfao, they did this already in the eighties, then banned it when it became a party drug
I posted a legitimate history of MDMA because I was interested after the doc showef no knowledge of that
Chris for some reason removed it?
That's too creepy for me.
When comments are manipulated I lose trust in content creators. So I'm out with Chris.
RUclips auto holds certain comments for review which the algo picks up as being potentially offensive or dangerous. Complain to RUclips, not me.
@@ChrisWillx If that's true, yt is ridiculously broken.
There was nothing offensive or dangerous at all in the page
@@555Trout there is no if about it. That is what yt does. You're 10 ply bud. Chris is nicer than me. I'd have told you to kick rocks for being a libelous turd.
totally immoral to promote drugs like this
Nothing immoral about it.
@@renaissancestatesman so when an 18 year old takes your advice and it triggers their schizophrenia you take no respinsibility? how noble...just saying its not immoral isnt an argument...its clearly harful for society to have people drugged ...so many dangers, why promote disfunction and mysticism like this?
Oh yeah, I like how your argument starts with the conclusion.
@@FreedomPhilosophyTV ok if thats how you see it...whats wrong with pointing out an inevitable consequence of promoting drug use to the masses? it promotes disfunction, accidents, and possibly deaths...but amazing all you morons think its good behaviour to promote drug use, while not countering a single point i made...if im wrong then how so?...i stated my principled possition. its clear that drug addicts pushing bad behaviour dont have principles.
