KBlend is very safe and has been used in many applications for over 50 years. From the battlefield to the operating room, ketamine has been consistently reliable and safe. Each patient has a different reaction to ketamine.
During the infusion, most patients are awake can interact with staff. You may want to talk to a counselor, listen to music, or relax in silence. Side effects are limited to the duration of the infusion and recovery period.
These may include an elevated blood pressure, dizziness, a sensation of floating or flying, blurred vision, mild nausea, vivid dreams, and rarely hallucinations. Your experienced staff will adjust the dose and length of your infusion to balance side effects with the therapeutic properties of the ketamine. During the recovery period, you may feel extremely fatigued or feel that your body is heavy.
Unpredictable effects: The effects of psychedelic mushrooms can be unpredictable,
varying from person to person and even from one experience to another. Factors such as individual
susceptibility, mental state, and environmental conditions can all influence the nature and intensity of the psychedelic experience.
Risk of a "bad trip": Some individuals may experience intense anxiety, fear, or paranoia during a psychedelic trip,
commonly referred to as a "bad trip." This can be psychologically distressing and may have lasting effects on mental well-being.
Impaired judgment and perception: Psychedelic mushrooms can impair cognitive functions, leading to distorted perceptions of reality,
impaired judgment, and compromised decision-making. This can increase the risk of accidents or engaging in risky behaviors.
Potential for hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD): In some cases, individuals who have used psychedelic substances may
experience persistent visual disturbances or hallucinations even after the drug has left their system. This condition is known as HPPD
and can have a lasting impact on daily life.
Interaction with mental health conditions: Individuals with a history of mental health issues, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder,
may be at an increased risk of exacerbating their conditions or experiencing psychotic episodes when using psychedelic mushrooms.
It is generally advised for people with pre-existing mental health conditions to avoid psychedelics.
Legal consequences: Possession and use of psychedelic mushrooms are illegal in many places, which can lead to legal consequences
if individuals are caught with these substances.
Potential physical risks: While the physical toxicity of psychedelic mushrooms is relatively low compared to some other substances,
there is still a risk of adverse reactions, especially if the mushrooms are misidentified and toxic species are consumed.
Uncontrolled blood pressure, unstable heart disease, untreated thyroid disease, current manic phase of bipolar disorder, or active psychotic (hallucinations or delusions) symptoms.
Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that has been used for over 50 years in a wide variety of applications. Recently, Ketamine has been found to have profound, rapid and lasting effects on mood disorders such as treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideations, and chronic pain syndromes including neuropathic pain, CRPS, RSD, migraines, and fibromyalgia. Often, patients feel the beneficial effects after just one treatment. Published research from leading institutions worldwide have reported a 70% success rate or higher when used for severe depression. Suicidal ideations have been reported to subside within hours after infusion.
Ketamine has been recognized as an innovative treatment for mood disorders and chronic pain syndromes for the last decade. The National Institute of Mental Health, Mayo Clinic, Yale University, Mt. Sinai Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Black Dog Institute are just a few of the institutions who found statistically significant outcomes with their ketamine infusion research. A number of these studies have shown rapid improvement of severe depression when patients are given 6 infusions of low dose ketamine over 2-3 weeks. Well over 70% of patients have experienced this success. Experts at the National Institute of Mental Health have said, “IV Ketamine Therapy may be the most important treatment breakthrough in decades."
Approximately 70-80% of patients respond to ketamine infusions.
Research has found that ketamine helps three out of four patients for those seeking treatment for depression. Like all medical treatments, there are a small number of patients for whom ketamine may worsen symptoms or will not help at all. Although we cannot truly predict your response to ketamine, numerous research studies and countless testimonials from patients who have been ‘saved’ by ketamine, show that Ketamine Infusion Therapy is worth trying! Additionally, our knowledgeable and compassionate experts will review your full medical and mental health history to identify certain elements which may affect your body’s ability to respond positively to Ketamine Infusion Therapy. We are here to help answer any questions or address any concerns you may have regarding this break-through, innovative treatment.
Most patients report significant improvement by the (3rd) third infusion and more than 80% report remission at the (4th) infusion. In addition, there are some patients that initially become aware of the improvement in mood and well-being through loved ones such as a spouse, and this can occur after only one (1) infusion. Some patients want further gains before moving into maintenance and will continue to receive infusions at a frequency of two infusions per week until they reach remission or improvement levels they deem satisfactory. Typically this is achieved by the (6th) sixth infusion We follow empirically proven protocols for bolus dosages; 6 infusions delivered at a frequency of 2-3 times per week for 2 to 3 weeks. Once patients complete this loading dose protocol, they begin the maintenance phase of treatment which is highly patient-specific. As a general rule, patients can expect to return for maintenance infusions about every 4 weeks for the first 12 months following treatment onset.
Patients will receive infusion therapy in a private room with constant mechanical monitoring of heart rate, pulse, blood oxygen saturation percentages and blood pressure. Infusion therapy means an IV will be placed and an appropriate dose of ketamine will be administered over a 40 min time frame or longer. Practitioners are able to see a patients vital signs from the monitors at all times from the nursing station. However, patients will be constantly monitored by a practitioner experienced and knowledgeable about Ketamine Infusion Therapy, who will assess the depth of sedation and ensure patient comfort. Most patients report a relaxing and peaceful experience. Patients will most likely experience changes in vision and their ability to clearly focus on objects or people, the speech will be slurred or slowed, most will have an experience of floating or being disconnected. Patients on average should expect to spend 90 to 120 minutes in the office allowing for the check-in procedure, the active phase of infusion, and recovery time. Patients will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home after your infusion. Patients may drive and return to work the next day.
