RFK Jr. is going to open up psychedelics as a medical option, I believe this is his intention for depression, PTSD, etc.
We know the deep state has kept it illegal for some reason, probably $$.
For veterans who have treated their PTSD, I've read and listened to incredible results.
Ibogaine has shown great promise for vets, as well as mushrooms, and other psychedelics. Ibogaine is being used in Mexico and Canada for addiction, PTSD for vets and people, and addiction in general.
I keep hearing from Christians that psychedelics is opening yourself up to the spiritual realm and that it is absolutely forbidden by God.
To our bible scholars and strong Christians here, is this true?
This issue is very confusing to me because I believe God made these plants and natural medicines, it's HOW we use them that matters. If it can help so many people, and God made it, isn't it legal to use if not being used in a demonic way?
OR
Is this deception- Is this Satan trying to open a door into us with a promise to "heal" our worries, mental health, and even physical health- but is really Pharmakeia aka "witchcraft"?
Should Christians be open to using psychedelics to heal from trauma, addiction, PTSD, and depression?
Scripture references would be great if you have them, but would love to hear your opinions on it.
I saved this post because I wanted to make a clear and concise comment about it and I just didn’t have time.
As a Christian, I do ketamine infusions for depression. It is an anesthetic, but can give you psychedelic tendencies when doing a treatment. After spending most of my life suicidal, and basically miserable… The Lord finally brought me to this place where I was able to try the ketamine infusion for depression. I can say unequivocally, my entire life has changed. I can function like a normal human, complete tasks, and participate in society pretty well. I’m so grateful for the Lord, bringing this into my life, and having the ability to basically not want to kill myself every single day of my life. These treatments have not only changed my life, but for people around me like my friends, my family and my mother in particular. We have such a better relationship now, that I can think more clearly and I’m not defeated every day. I must add that I don’t believe that the ketamine infusions would help, had I not returned to my faith in Christ, and started walking with Him at the same time. The ketamine treatments alone are not the end all, however, I continue to go to church, Womens Bible Study’s, and other Bible Study’s just to renew my mind in Christ and walk in Him. I also see my psychologist and psychiatrist and do the work to continue to better myself. I’ve been able to get off all of my psych meds, and I’m living my best life.
That being said… the ketamine infusions do put you into an altered state, and I would not recommend anybody who it does not have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior to do these treatments. I know as a Christian and I cannot be possessed by an evil spirit, and when I do my treatments, I listen to worship music. I spend my treatments, focusing on the Lord, interacting with Him, and allowing God to take me where he wants me to go with my focus completely on Him. Since the ketamine is basically creating new neurotransmitters, I would like them to be built on something solid and something positive. When I first started, I would just listen to some type of music without words, and then also have a visual video of turtles in the ocean or something like that. I always have an idea of what I want to imprint on, and in the beginning, I would just pick a positive word, and then I move to scriptures, etc… One last thing, after your treatment, you should be careful of what type of activities you do, what you’re watching what you’re thinking and who you’re interacting with. Do you want your treatment to be worth your while, and not have somebody else come in and steal your joy and your new neurotransmitters with positive thoughts.
I highly recommend this treatment to anybody out there who is saved, but I would not recommend it to somebody who is not. There are many things in life that we can do to allow satan to come into our lives, dabbling in the occult, what type of movies you watch, and what type of music you listen to. I know there is evil in the world, and I wouldn’t doubt that being in a suggestive state that satan would send his emissary to thwart the treatments.
I’ve been doing this for at least four years, and I pay cash for everything. There are some insurance companies that are starting to cover this, but it’s cheaper for me to just pay cash. But… I’m kind of a success at this facility, so they give me a discounted rate because I’m on disability.
If somebody is serious about wanting to get help with their treatment resistant depression. I suggest the Andrew Huberman podcast regarding ketamine infusions for depression. It’s a good start at least.
