We need your help to complete this study and spread awareness about the need for more effective treatments for PTSD.
MAPS' government-approved research shows that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for people who do not respond to traditional therapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our ongoing study in U.S. military veterans, firefighters, and police officers is halfway complete, and early results are promising.

A finales del pasado mes de septiembre, el gobierno ecuatoriano decidió dar vía libre a la explotación petrolífera en el Parque del Yasuni, un templo ecológico en mitad de la Amazonia considerada por la ONU como una reserva del Pleistoceno. Esta parte del país vive todavía traumatizada por el mayor desastre ambiental del mundo producido por la multinacional petrolera Texaco, hoy Chevron, que provocó la contaminación de los ríos amazónicos y la extensión del cáncer como una plaga interminable. En esta serie de tres reportajes viajamos por esta selva que rodea al Yasuni para mostrar lo que le puede esperar a este pulmón del planeta si las petroleras entran en él.

Desde ICEERS, queremos profundizar en el proceso de duelo debido a la pérdida de un ser querido y en la influencia que pudiera tener la ingesta de ayahuasca a lo largo de este proceso. Dado que hasta la fecha no se ha llevado a cabo ningún tipo de estudio y no existen datos acerca del posible potencial terapéutico de la ayahuasca en procesos relacionados con la pérdida de nuestros seres queridos, nos gustaría contactar con una cantidad suficiente de personas que pudieran explicarnos con detalle su experiencia personal, con el fin de poder ampliar el conocimiento sobre este tipo de procesos y la ingesta de ayahuasca.
Desde ICEERS, agradeceríamos sinceramente que si conoce a alguien que haya pasado por esta situación le haga llegar nuestra iniciativa con el fin de que en el futuro pudiera beneficiarse el mayor número de personas del conocimiento aportado por los voluntarios.
Muchas gracias por su participación!

Mouse brains get washed with cerebrospinal fluid while they sleep. Humans may use the same process. The results appear to offer the best explanation yet of why animals and people need sleep. If this proves to be true in humans as well, it could help explain a mysterious association between sleep disorders and brain diseases, including Alzheimer's.
Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:
The process is important because what's getting washed away during sleep are waste proteins that are toxic to brain cells, Nedergaard says. This could explain why we don't think clearly after a sleepless night and why a prolonged lack of sleep can actually kill an animal or a person, she says.
