408 booksA clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. A behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research. Provides a unique scientific explanation for the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences.
From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U. S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the potential therapeutic uses of these substances.
Although its exact function in humans is unknown, it is thought that DMT also occurs naturally in our brains and plays a role in phenomena such as near-death experiences and alien abduction episodes. Traces of DMT have been discovered in several plants used ritually by natives around the world, including Amazonian tribes using ayahuasca for spiritual purposes.
Many of Dr. Strassman's volunteers reported convincing encounters with intelligent alien beings, some of whom spoke fluent English and communicated specific personal information about participants that they could not have otherwise known.
Rick Strassman's book, DMT, is a deep exploration into the world of Dimethyltryptamine, a powerful psychedelic drug. He provides a comprehensive look into the effects and potential uses of DMT, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.
Strassman suggests that DMT might be a bridge to the spiritual world. He believes that the intense visions and experiences people have while under the influence of DMT could be glimpses into other dimensions or realities.
The book delves into the science behind DMT, explaining how it affects the brain and alters perception. Strassman's research provides a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between the brain and consciousness.
Strassman also explores the potential therapeutic uses of DMT. He suggests that it could be used to treat a range of mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, opening up a new avenue for research in the field of psychedelic therapy.
While the book is largely positive about the potential of DMT, Strassman doesn't shy away from discussing the ethical considerations. He emphasizes the importance of safe and responsible use, and the need for further research to fully understand the implications of DMT use.
