Dr Martín Polanco and Marine Ryan Roberts: A Discussion on the Clinical Psychedelic Retreat Being Used to Treat Veterans and their Family Members

<div>In this week's episode, we're joined by Dr. Martín Polanco and Marine Ryan Roberts to discuss the clinical psychedelic program specializing in the use of Ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, and Psilocybin that is being used to treat veterans and their family members. <br> <br> Dr. Martín Polanco has been successfully treating people with traumatic brain injury, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction using psychedelic medicines for over a decade. He is the founder of <em>The Mission Within</em>, a clinical program in Mexico and Costa Rica helping veterans with issues resulting from military service experiences. His mission is to conduct research to prove its effectiveness – with the end goal of its legalization. Marcus speaks from his first-hand experience with Dr. Polanco’s treatment, in an effort to educate and make psychedelic therapy available to every veteran that needs it. </div> <br> <div><strong>In this episode you will hear:</strong></div> <ul> <li>We do psychic surgery.</li> <li>[Melanie] “It’s like a car wash for your brain.”</li> <li>So many people come out of the medicine and we wanna get on the biggest mountain and yell: “C’mon, we can help.”</li> <li>My dad was a hippie and involved with some peyote circles.</li> <li>At 21, I had an experience with mushrooms, and everything I saw was infused with source energy.</li> <li>There is a delusional mindset where people can justify their drug use.</li> <li>[Marcus] “The best joy you’ll ever have is in gratitude.”</li> <li>[Melanie] “The medicine took a lot of walls down.”</li> <li>[Melanie] “We were unbreakable before, but now we’re an unstoppable force.”</li> <li>If we can heal the veteran, we can heal the home.</li> </ul> <div><strong>Support their Mission: </strong></div> <div>TMW Website: <a href="https://www.missionwithin.org/">https://www.missionwithin.org</a> </div> <div>Sponsor a veteran's treatment: <a href="https://missionwithin.org/sponsor-a-vet/">https://missionwithin.org/sponsor-a-vet/</a> </div> <div>Donate to Research: <a href="https://bit.ly/psyched
