Psychedelics and Eating Disorders

Any medical conditions need to be evaluated carefully while psychedelics are medically safe. For example, ketamine in a clinical setting increases your heart rate and blood pressure a little bit. We want to know if someone has underlying heart issues. And then each psychedelic has individual nuances to consider like ayahuasca. It's interesting about eating disorders. So you probably wouldn't be doing this in an in-patient setting. Maybe more like in recovery or could you? Well the study that we've designed is for individuals who have an erector nervosa mild, moderate or severe. As long as they're connected with an eating disorder program, we will work with them as an adjunct to their treatment.
