[AMP-L] Limb Loss, Psychedelics, Healing, and Ceremony

[Wayne Renardson]

via Amplitude:

Amplitude`s new story about the science of psychedelic medicine drew 
a thoughtful note from Dan Edmondson. A bilateral below-knee amputee 
since 2014, Edmondson (who we featured in our newsletter a couple 
years back) has first-hand experience with psychedelic cures: He 
participated in a peyote healing ceremony less than a year after 
losing his legs.  

"It legit took away my phantom pain," he says. "I still get phantom 
sensations. I can still wiggle my toes. And I still get discomfort 
and pain from wearing a socket and a prosthesis all day. But I 
remember what phantom pain was like. I remember it waking me up,  
these shooting pains. And I just don´t get them anymore."
