EP 47: The Patient Advocacy and Experience Panel, Part One

Innovative healing is saving lives. Cannabis, CBD, and other plant-based therapies have called so many back from the edge of illness, disease, and despair. Today you’re about to meet the panelists who have firsthand experience with psilocybin, cannabis, and many other plant-based health products, and get involved in this three-part series that faces industry issues such as discrimination, legal obstacles, and ongoing research. 

Part one of this special three-part series introduces listeners to the Patient Advocacy and Experience Panel.  Gary joins other advocates of plant-based medicine to discuss how cannabis and psychedelics can aid in the treatment of things like C-PTSD, TBI’s, and depression.   The panel includes health care providers, first responders, and even military veterans.  They join us from the US, Australia, and Canada.  All share similar stories of being let down by traditional medicine and fighting for alternatives.  

Too often, many are faced with the choice of becoming a statistic or taking back their lives.  Military veterans and first responders are at a much higher risk of suicide because of the nature of their work, and talk therapy can only do so much to combat their trauma-induced illnesses. Thankfully, because of organizations like the Patient Advocacy and Experience Panel, many have found relief in the form of plant-based treatments.  Tune in today to hear part one in this series: get introduced to the panelists and their journeys, the plant-based solutions they’ve found, and the work they’re doing to help others.

 

What You’ll Learn:

• What issues advocates face regarding patient advocacy and experience
• How the lack of regulations affects patients' employment.
• Why there is an ongoing suicide epidemic in the first responder industry
• How the compounds found in plant-based medicine interact with, and heal our bodies
