MAPS/MDMA

By Marc Levy

VVAW member Marc Levy sends the following info: The research group MAPS is well respected, FDA approved, its work has been published in various professional medical journals. MAPS studies the effects of low doses of MDMA (Ecstasy) on PTSD. National and international studies with war vets and other persons have shown very promising results; the risks are negligible. The Army has shown interest in this treatment.

A MAPS study will be held in Charleston, SC in the next few months. Interested combat vets with significant PTSD should contact principle researcher Dr. Michael Mithoefer at: mmithoefer@mac.com or 843-849-6899.

Accepted volunteers are given a hotel room, food and travel allowance. They can mention my name if they like.
