Anyone notice how Maria was getting disinterested near the end? What’s up with Maria just saying “Explain psychedelics”? Not really an informative interview, more of a puff piece about @atai_life, a for-profit #corporadelic organization. @psymposia, wanna chime in?
The whole bit about “your audience might know about the early field of psychedelic research” was laughable. Most Americans still view psychedelics as schedule one drugs. Did anyone notice how they kept saying “compounds” instead of drugs? That’s new for FOX 🤨
And OH GOD lmao please tell me everyone caught Christian’s use of the phrase “network default mechanism” instead of Default Mode Network 😂
🚨ALERT🚨 Medical professionals understand why it's misleading & unethical to say #psychedelics are a #cure for any health condition. In this @CNBC video, @C_Angermayer (@atai_life) says #ibogaine has the "potential to completely cure addiction" 🧵 1/8
Though it's true some patients in recent #psychedelic clinical trials did not meet diagnostic criteria for their treatment-resistant condition after therapy, many still felt lingering symptoms of their condition afterward. Unfortunately, #PsychedelicsArentSilverBullets. 2/8
Medical professionals understand the distinction between #cures and #treatments. The term cure "refers to a complete restoration of health". Treatments are reserved for medical interventions which aim to control symptoms (think "effective treatment”) 3/8
