Latest in AIMS Psilocybin Right-To-Try Effort

Latest in AIMS Psilocybin Right-To-Try EffortWe have taken an additional step recently in our effort to secure psilocybin therapeutic use for two of our cancer patients under State and Federal Right to Try (RTT) laws. On Monday 3/8/21, on behalf of AIMS Institute and Dr. Aggarwal, lawyers filed a petition for review in U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals of the DEA’s written decision last month to deny our request for RTT access to psilocybin from a duly licensed producer.

Below is the press release that went out and links to some news stories that have appeared.

We are looking for leading organizations committed to protecting the rights of seriously ill patients to have immediate access to safe use of psychedelic-assisted therapy to file ‘friend of the court’ amicus briefs in the case. Please get in touch if your organization or one you know of is interested in lending their voice of support to help our patients receive therapeutic access to the eligible investigational drug psilocybin under right to try. We have a great opportunity here to help advance this very needed therapeutic modality in contemporary hospice and palliative care. Patients treated by palliative care and mental health specialists in Canada have already been able to avail fungal psilocybin-assisted therapy legally under Canadian government exemptions for the past 7 months, and it has been very beneficial in palliation of existential and other distress by all reports.

Impacts to Anxiety, Depression, and Psycho-Spiritual Metrics after Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Palliative Care Patients at the AIMS Institute

Author: Thomas Luedeke, Seattle University https://scholarworks.seattleu.edu/dnp-projects/95/ Date of Award 2024 Document Type Project College/School College of Nursing Degree Name Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Project Mentor Therry Rose Eparwa Readers Conor Watters Abstract There is considerable evidence that palliative care patients disproportionately experience anxiety, depression, and existential distress related to their chronic illnesses. Additionally, conventional therapies tend to be less effective in the treatment of this patient population. As such, research is being conducted into novel therapies. One of the promising therapies currently under active investigation is ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) which involves a combination of the administration of the dissociative anesthetic ...
