Study Says Ketamine Could
Help With Alcoholism.
The analysis can be found in the
journal, ‘Nature Communications.’.
The study says one dose of
ketamine can “re-do” memories
related to what makes people drink.
Ketamine, aka Special K, is known
to alter people’s memories.
For the study, a U.K. team observed
90 subjects with “harmful” patterns
of alcohol consumption.
Some of them were given
ketamine and memory therapy.
In less than two weeks, the group reported a smaller urge to drink.
Over nine months, the study adds
that their weekly intake was
slashed by 50 percent.
We found that heavy drinkers experienced a long-term improvement after a very quick and simple experimental treatment, Lead author Dr. Ravi Das,
