Neil Haznar, Executive Director of the Klarisana Clinic joins for Episode 79 to discuss the therapeutic benefits of Ketamine. Recent research has shown that Ketamine has had therapeutic benefits for people dealing with Severe Depression, PTSD, Anxiety and Chronic Pain. Neil stopped by to give us the 411 on the treatments & the success of the Klarisana Clinic.
Klarisana was founded in 2015 by Dr. Carl J. Bonnett MD. Dr. Bonnett had become very frustrated with the alarming suicide rate among US military veterans. At the same time, he was also very concerned about the many other veterans who’s symptoms of PTSD, depression, and chronic pain were being poorly controlled. As an emergency physician, Dr. Bonnett had extensive experience with ketamine in both emergency medicine and in forward-deployed military environments. The concept that ketamine could actually treat severe depression, PTSD and other mental health conditions represented a radical but exciting paradigm shift in the traditional use of ketamine. Against this background, Klarisana was born in an austere one room office on the north side of San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Bonnett is a board certified emergency medicine physician and one of the United States' leading ketamine providers. He is currently licensed to practice medicine in Texas, Iowa, and Colorado.
