Review Quotes
"It is no surprise that an increasing number of Americans have been suicidal in the last few years. What is a surprise to many is that there is a treatment that often brings immediate improvement and reduction in suicidality: Ketamine. Dr. Johnathan Edwards has dug deep into the studies, conducted his own research, then drew upon his profound compassion to get the message out. Thank you, Johnathan, for your work that improves and saves lives. And for writing a book that will do the same." --Gavin de Becker, author of The Gift of Fear "Over the last few decades, deaths from auto accidents, many infectious diseases, and some forms of cancer have dropped considerably. Since the turn of this century, suicide mortality is up more than 30 percent in the US, despite more people getting more treatment for psychiatric disorders. This book reminds us that we need to focus our treatments specifically on reducing suicide and that ketamine is an important new treatment that can save lives." --Thomas Insel, MD, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health and author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health "Job well done! Dr. Edwards has hit on all the key points with hard data to support, which will shed light on the current adolescent suicide pandemic of COVID-19." --Dr. Sheldon Jacobs, licensed marriage & family therapist and author of 48: An Experiential Memoir on Homelessness "This book is excellent. I have been a teacher in Las Vegas for thirty-four years and educate young students in suicide prevention. It has always been a problem; hopefully, this book will increase awareness and help parents prevent these very real catastrophes." --Louie Amelburu Jr., director of suicide prevention at O'Callaghan School, Las Vegas, Nevada "Dr. Johnathan Edwards is not a maverick but a master clinician. He is at the forefront of those increasingly rare men and women who embody an ideal: passionate advocates for their patients' health and well-being. One hopes this extraordinary book will have a ripple effect, enlightening not only laypeople but doctors themselves. Dr. Edwards has awakened the sleeping giant that is ketamine." --Bruce Wagner, novelist "We are amidst an explosion of mental illness, depression, and its successful fulfillment in suicide. Until experienced firsthand, few can grasp the miracle that ketamine can bestow." --Joel Friedman MD, family physician, Maui, Hawaii "A well-written account of a current and societally relevant analysis of our current state of mental health. His open-minded approach to prioritizing global health is a breath of fresh air in our current environment." --Dr. Sam Zand, psychiatrist and CEO of the Calm Clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada "At the top of a mental hill, ketamine is like fresh powdered snow that falls on, fills, and erases the well-worn deep ruts downslope and allows you to sled into original paths of mind not yet taken. Johnathan's ketamine expertise would have staved off years of my suffering from suicidal ideation and severe depression." --Dr. Theodore Achuosco, CEO of the Global Founding Pioneer of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice "Ketamine is a game changer and was catalyst in my recovery from PTSD and chronic pain." --Catherine Oxenberg, actress, author, and advocate "This book is amazing and so sorely needed on shelves now!" --Tom Margolis, author, lawyer, and advocate
