Treat pain and mental health simultaneously

Tasmanian ketamine study to treat chronic pain patients

About 60% of patients with chronic pain also suffer from a second condition like depression or anxiety.

A University of Tasmania researcher predicts that ketamine therapy will have a “dual beneficial effect” on both pain and mental health.

Other chronic pain experts share this belief. “The domains of pain, anxiety and depression are all connected. If you treat one, another often gets better,” according to researcher Dr. David Borsook.

The hypothesis will be put to the test in an upcoming study of 30 chronic pain patients, which received a $80K grant from the Clifford Craig Foundation.

M2Bio Labs Offers Ketamine IV & Personalized Supercharged Vitamin IV Drip

M2Bio Labs Offers Ketamine IV & Personalized Supercharged Vitamin IV Drip

CAPE TOWN, SA / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2022 / WUHAN GENERAL GROUP, INC. (WUHN) (“WGG” or the “Company”), a bioceutical company focused on alternative plant-based cannabinoids and mental health therapeutic research is pleased to share the following update:

M2Bio Sciences is pleased to announce the rollout of its on-site Ketamine and Supercharged Vitamin IV Therapy at the M2Bio Labs in Hout Bay, Cape Town.

Drip therapy has long been used in hospitals and clinics to administer medicine for the main benefit of 100% bioavailability. This means that all the medicine, nutrients, or minerals are absorbed by the body because it’s being fed directly into the bloodstream.

Supercharged Vitamin and CBD IV Drip

The customized intravenous vitamin drips will offer various therapies and vitamin cocktails designed to target very specific health needs. They will support your physical and mental well-being, detox the body, boost the immune system, assist with recovery from strenuous training sessions, nourish and repair hair, skin, and nails, all to get your mind and body to peak performance.

The drips will offer the following benefits to clients:

  • Instantly increase the body’s antioxidant, mineral, and nutrient count.
  • Oxygenate the blood, flush out toxins, help with lymph production.
  • Increase energy, lower body temperature, decrease constipation.
  • Reduce swelling and help fight off infections.
  • Improve sleep quality.
  • Increased metabolism and potential weight loss.
  • Aids fertility and libido.
  • Improve concentration and mental clarity.

There will also be the option of CBD (cannabidiol) vitamin drip as part of the product offering. The IV drip method is the fastest and most effective way to get CBD into the patients’ endocannabinoid system and is far more effective than traditional oral, inhaled, transdermal, or sublingual delivery methods.

Ketamine IV Infusions and Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

The labs will also feature a Ketamine Infusion Facility and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for treating patients with mental illness, mood disorders, and chronic pain, these include:

  • Treatment Resistant Depression
  • Suicidality
  • Eating Disorders
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Anxiety and Panic Attacks
  • PTSD
  • OCD
  • Postpartum Depression
  • Alcoholism and Addiction
  • Neuralgia
  • Neuropathic pain associated with Diabetes, Demyelination, Cancer, or HIV.
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Pain associated with Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.

  • Migraine headaches and Fibromyalgia.

Patients will be treated in sessions typically lasting 2-3 hours, this process includes the ketamine administration by fully qualified members of the medical team in a comfortable environment. The medical staff will consist of doctors, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Patients will be fully guided through the entire process.

“We are very excited about the addition of the IV Vitamin and Ketamine divisions. This will add great depth and value to our current offerings at M2Bio Labs. Our clients and patients will have the opportunity to experience various mental and physical wellness therapies all in one convenient location. We will change many lives for the better at the labs.” said Jeff Robinson, Wuhan General Inc, CEO.

About Ketamine and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that’s been widely used around the world for more than five decades. It’s also a medication with fast-acting antidepressant properties.

While ketamine isn’t considered a first-line therapy for chronic pain, depression, or any other mental health disorder, it can be used off-label to treat severe cases of depression, anxiety, and PTSD that haven’t responded to conventional medications or therapies.

When ketamine is administered through a slow, constant intravenous (IV) drip, it has calming and therapeutic effects on the regions of your brain that control mood and behavior.

KAP is an integrative psychotherapeutic modality.

By using this therapy during a non-ordinary state of consciousness, the therapist is able to support the patient in their exploration of particular suppressed material with less resistance. The client is encouraged to share as much, or as little as they wish during the administration session. Once the client has fully reconnected with their environment, an integration session is used to explore and make meaning of the material, together with the therapist. There is a strong emphasis on mindfulness, the re-examination of one’s core values, and how to apply value-driven actions into the client’s current life circumstances.

Novamind Advances Clinical Pilot for Frontline KAP

Novamind Advances Clinical Pilot for Frontline KAP

nnovative treatment is a candidate to become regular service offering for healthcare workers

TORONTO, ON / February 16, 2022 / Novamind Inc. (CSE: NM | OTCQB: NVMDF | FSE: HN2) (“Novamind” or the “Company”), a leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, is pleased to update shareholders on a clinical pilot investigating the efficacy of group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for frontline healthcare workers (“Frontline KAP”). With the final cohort of participants expected to begin treatment in March 2022, data analysis is currently underway and will be published following completion of the clinical pilot.

Frontline KAP represents a unique opportunity for Novamind to scale an innovative research pilot into a novel treatment program and make it accessible at all Novamind clinics. The pilot launched in July 2021, in partnership with Colorado-based Wholeness Center, to address pandemic-related stress and trauma in frontline healthcare workers. Novamind’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Reid Robison, and Wholeness Center’s Dr. Scott Shannon designed a six-session KAP protocol delivered in a group setting. A cohort of 40 participants are enrolled in the pilot across research sites in Utah and Colorado.

“Frontline KAP is an example of real-time, evidence-based innovation that leverages Novamind’s clinical and research expertise to bring new treatments to patient groups in need” said Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director, Novamind. “The risk of burnout in healthcare professions is strikingly high, particularly during the pandemic. We designed a protocol addressing an unmet need for healthcare workers, we’re completing the clinical pilot at our research sites, and we anticipate that Frontline KAP will be an accessible treatment available at all Novamind clinics.”

Ketamine has demonstrated efficacy for rapid relief from symptoms of depression, while the group setting provides a platform for processing trauma with peers, more effectively building community and reducing feelings of isolation compared to individual treatment. Frontline KAP involves a ratio of two therapists to four patients per cohort, greatly reducing the total number of therapist hours when compared to traditional one-on-one treatment, which increases the treatment’s affordability and enables Novamind to serve a larger patient population.

“Frontline KAP has been incredibly rewarding and meaningful for everyone involved as we’ve witnessed first-hand the healing potential of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a group setting that uses the power of social connection,” said Dr. Robison.

He continued, “Interim data from the pilot shows depression and anxiety scores trending down, and resilience scores going up. Many participants report having breakthroughs when assisted by the ketamine treatments, and that’s further enhanced by processing the experiences in a group setting with peers. We’re looking forward to completing the pilot and exploring the opportunity to scale access to this innovative treatment at Novamind clinics.”

Healing my worth: Sarah’s story

Despite having a supportive family and a healthy lifestyle, Sarah had crippling self doubt and suicidal ideation. It wasn’t until she tried ketamine therapy that she realized why she felt these emotions.

The experience revealed that she never healed the scars of feeling unloved during her parents’ divorce. Her dream-like visions on ketamine showed her that separation is a natural part of life, and that she doesn’t need to be perfect to deserve love.

Sarah finally believes “I’m worth being here,’ she says.

Wellbeing Digital Sciences Delivers its First IV Ketamine Treatment Under the Inpatient KITE Program

The Treatment was Successfully Performed in Ontario as Part of the Company’s  Previously Announced Collaboration with Victoria Wellness and iHealthOX

Wellbeing management expects  the collaboration between VW, iHealthOX and itself to experience an increase in the number of patients  treated via IV ketamine infusions in the near future.  

The Centre, located at 5316 Rice Lake Scenic Drive in Gores Landing, Ontario, is a residential rehabilitation  facility and mental health clinic focused on treating anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder  (“PTSD”) by offering personalized therapy treatment programs. The Company and VW have launched a  first-class, best practice-based, six-week inpatient Ketamine Integrated Therapy Experience (“KITE”)  program. The first three weeks of the KITE program are structured to offer clients a unique opportunity to  benefit from fast-acting and medically supervised IV ketamine administration. This process is expected to  help combat long-standing and prescription-resistant mental health conditions such as depression and  PTSD.  

The Company’s previous announced arrangement with iHealthOX helped to make this first IV ketamine  treatment possible. iHealthOX was created to provide patients with a customized digital tool specifically  for mental health. Patients have access to live coaching sessions, options for one-on-one therapy, evidence based educational material, and 24/7 emergency support. The iHealthOX platform will be available to  patients in both desktop and mobile versions, thereby extending the Company’s services beyond its clinic  locations.  

“The success of our first IV ketamine treatment in Canada in collaboration with VW and iHealthOX and  Wellbeing is encouraged that ketamine-based treatments for mental health are becoming more  commonplace. The Company has always wanted to make a positive and significant impact on mental health  and this brings us one step closer,” said Adam Deffett, Interim CEO of Wellbeing. “Achievements like this, 

exemplify why Wellbeing continues to work hard to make a difference in the mental health realm,” added  Mr. Deffett.

(“Braxia”, or the “Company”), (CSE: BRAX) (OTC: BRAXF) (FWB: 4960), a medical research company with clinics providing innovative ketamine treatments for persons with depression and related disorders, today provided an update on the Company’s leading research role within the psychedelics industry. As the Company continues to focus on developing innovative treatments for depression, including potential ketamine derivatives, Braxia Scientific’s team of researchers also continue to carry out multiple psychedelic-based clinical research trials, adding to the Company’s large and growing proprietary dataset critical to informing future drug development.

To date, Braxia Scientific has compiled comprehensive health data from administering more than 5,200 ketamine treatments at its network of clinics. Additionally, Braxia Scientific’s researchers have published 43 ketamine-related manuscripts in peer-reviewed biomedical journals, and the Canadian Rapid Treatment Centre of Excellence (CRTCE), a wholly owned Braxia subsidiary, has established a growing database with key clinical outcomes for an ongoing clinical trial evaluating psilocybin-assisted therapy.

“We are tremendously proud of our research team, which includes three individuals ranked among the world’s top 20 experts in depressionmood disorders and ketamine research,” said Dr. Roger McIntyre, CEO of Braxia Scientific. “With our unmatched human capital, well-established clinical infrastructure and large proprietary health database we believe Braxia Scientific has a distinct competitive advantage among the leading groups endeavouring to develop new psychedelic treatments.

“With this expertise and data, we are well-positioned to enhance our intellectual property, including our work to identify and develop new chemical entities, while providing patients with access to new pathways to treat their mental health disorders.”

The Company also continues to exhibit itself as a leader in the psychedelics industry, establishing treatment protocols and best practice guidelines, including for innovative potential therapies, such as psilocybin.  The Company’s leadership is illustrated by the publication by the American Journal of Psychiatry of the International Expert Opinion and Implementation Guidance, led by Braxia Scientific’s leaders, which outlines Ketamine and Esketamine treatment parameters and sets the standard for the clinical implementation of rapid-acting treatments in persons with treatment-resistant depression.

Forward-looking Information Cautionary Statement
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts, future estimates, plans, programs, forecasts, projections, objectives, assumptions, expectations, or beliefs of future performance are “forward-looking statements.”

Forward-looking statements include statements about the intended promise of ketamine-based treatments for depression and the potential for ketamine to treat other emerging psychiatric disorders, such as Bipolar Depression. Such forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, events, or developments to be materially different from any future results, events or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the failure of ketamine, psilocybin and other psychedelics to provide the expected health benefits and unanticipated side effects, dependence on obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals, including acquiring and renewing federal, provincial, municipal, local or other licenses and engaging in activities that could be later determined to be illegal under domestic or international laws. Ketamine and psilocybin are currently Schedule I and Schedule III controlled substances, respectively, under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, S.C. 1996, c. 19 (the “CDSA”) and it is a criminal offence to possess such substances under the CDSA without a prescription or a legal exemption. Health Canada has not approved psilocybin as a drug for any indication, however ketamine is a legally permissible medication for the treatment of certain psychological conditions. It is illegal to possess such substances in Canada without a prescription.

These factors should be considered carefully, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties that could affect financial results is contained in the Company’s filings with Canadian securities regulators, including the Amended and Restated Listing Statement dated April 15, 2021, which are available at www.sedar.com. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements.
