  • 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.

      @@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.

    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.

      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.

    ...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.
