Episode notes

Mihaela Peterson's husband had a negative experience with Western medicine and sought treatment in Russia.
The clinic in Russia uses a general anesthetic to put patients in a coma for eight days to help with benzodiazepine withdrawals.
The clinic uses propofol, a common general anesthetic, for the procedure.
Putting patients in a coma for benzodiazepine withdrawals is considered a risky procedure.
Withdrawals from benzodiazepines can cause seizures in the brain.
Monitoring of heart rate and breathing is necessary during the procedure.

In 2019, Jordan Peterson disappeared from public life. One year later, he re-emerged with a diagnosis, a story and no self-reflection whatsoever.
