I am a huge proponent of using ketamine infusions for treatment-resistant depression. I have spent many years caring for psychiatric patients, and some do not respond to conventional therapies.
Depression is a devastating mood disorder that can rob an individual of a fulfilling life. It can ruin careers, relationships, and even result in death.
If you have any thoughts of ending your life or are depressed, GET HELP. Call someone! There are many resources available to help you. You can get better. We can help!

With the recent approval of SpavatoTM, my hope is that some of the stigma associated with ketamine will dissipate. Many drugs we use every day have the potential of being abused. The fact is ketamine can help some of our most vulnerable people.
As a society, we have the responsibility to care for our sick individuals. This includes those with mental disorders. Anyone can become depressed! I pray that we will embrace the potential of ketamine infusions. After other treatments have failed, those who need ketamine should have access to it.
Insurance companies should pay for it!
It is more costly to hospitalize someone for weeks while our traditional treatments take effect. One of ketamine’s most important benefits is that it begins to work right away. This can be the difference between life and death!
Ketamine is a subject I have wanted to write about for some time. We are unable to use ketamine infusions in our facility due to a perceived danger. It is possible to refer those patients who might benefit from ketamine to an alternative facility. I plan to continue to lobby for its use within our facility. I believe we owe it to our patients.
If you have any questions about ketamine or any other medication, health issue, or nutraceutical, please contact me.
I am happy to help whenever I can. That is why I started Sunshine Nutraceuticals in the first place.
Have a great week, everyone, and stay safe!!
