drixhen Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wouldn't it be great if we could try to raise some funds to get one a knowledgable UK representative to go to dinner with these researchers. It's [ch8356]1000 to get someone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shocked Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wouldn't it be great if we could try to raise some funds to get one a knowledgable UK representative to go to dinner with these researchers. It's [ch8356]1000 to get someone there. We have been following this research for some time and have had occasions to meet with and have continued discussions with these researchers. Indeed, enjoying lunches, dinners and drinks with many of them. the next occasion is Breaking Convention 2015 The 3rd International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness London. July 10-12, 2015 http://2015.breakingconvention.co.uk/speakers/ I'm up for contributing towards a token gesture of support for the project. shocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the LTFU, participant #3 reported that his migraine cycles and the accompanying pain had been significantly reduced for a number of months after the LSD treatments. Participant #12 reported no migraine in the 12 months up to the LTFU. This incidental observation may be an indication to support some recent studies (Sewell et al., 2006). shocked Edit: Can't get the Michigan link to work but it googles ok.
