As the war in Ukraine enters its 4th year, the Kyiv regime is increasingly pressured to find people to send to the frontlines.
The troop shortage, in fact, is becoming so acute that it threatens the very survival of their war effort.
Therefore, Ukraine must also ‘repair’ its wounded soldiers and send them back to the fight.
The Lisova Polyana Psychiatric Hospital near Kiev brags that up to 80 percent of the servicemen and women who arrive there end up back in the army to fight their unwinnable war.
And now, it arises that they are using the dangerous substance Ketamine to speed the healing process up.
You read it right: the same substance that caused the overdose death of ‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry.
Independent reported:
“The illegal party drug, animal tranquilizer and battlefield anesthetic is being used to bring Ukraine’s living dead back to real life. Pioneering ketamine therapy offers hope of a fast-track cure for post-traumatic stress disorder in a nation grappling with widespread trauma.”
The independent spoke to a female battlefield medic called Katya, who said she got concussions ‘on every mission’.
The brain that suffers physical traumatic injury has very similar symptoms to PTSD.
“Sufferers endure hyper-vigilance, distorted threat responses and cognitive decline. It can feel like being a ghost – or living in irrational agony.”
As far as Katya is concerned, the ketamine sessions ‘have brought her spiritual warmth and new experiences’.
“Traditional therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy can take ‘two, three or five years’, says neurologist Dr. Kseniia Vosnitsyna, head of the hospital. But therapy under close supervision using ketamine has had staggeringly quick results, she explains.”
Vosnitsya now wants to open up research here into psychedelics, too.
“We are constantly searching for more tools that can be used. And it’s not just about the CBT, classic psychotherapy can last two-three-five years. So we need to find something that works fast. That’s why [we are interested in] psychedelic therapy; it gives faster results. And we need it because we need to get people back to the front line faster.”
The soldiers undergo intense therapy before, during, and after their session under the influence of ketamine.
The Ukrainian doctors believe there that these therapies rewire the human mind and ‘repair burned-out circuits’.
Ukraine’s pioneer in psychedelic therapy, Dr Vladislav Metranitsy: “A very important mechanism for ketamine and other psychedelic actions is that it creates a state of enhanced neuroplasticity which continues for several days after infusion. During these days people’s brains usually better process information in general and dramatic information … people may have some insights, new understandings, take new decisions.”
