673- A Health System that Lacks Healing Ignores Iboga, Psylocibin & Kambo (Free)

The episode begins with host Crrow777 introducing guest Rebecca, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience in both England and America. Rebecca shares her personal story of being inspired to become a nurse after a car accident at age 16, where a student nurse showed her empathy and care. She describes her disillusionment with nursing during her training, noting a disconnect between nutrition education and the poor-quality hospital food served to patients. After moving to the U.S., Rebecca highlights differences in healthcare systems, such as insurance complexities and pharmaceutical influence. She explains her role as a nurse practitioner, advocating for holistic and integrative approaches in psychiatry, including looking at labs, diet, and trauma. The host interjects with personal anecdotes, such as curing his arthritis with DMSO and iodine and using homeopathic remedies like RecoWeg. They discuss the limitations of Western medicine, the importance of individualized care, and the fear mongering in healthcare. Rebecca critiques functional medicine for being expensive and sometimes similar to Western models, while emphasizing the need for balance and informed consent. The conversation touches on topics like sun gazing, magnesium deficiency, and the placebo effect in antidepressants. They wrap up by mentioning plans to discuss psychiatric differences between the UK and U.S. in the next hour.
