Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy for Weight Loss
The provisional patent is for a proposed guided
psychedelic psilocybin therapy protocol using psychotherapy prior
to, during and after the psychoactive effects of the Psilocybin are
felt by the patient. The psychedelic assisted psychotherapy is
designed to assist in gaining insights from positive psychedelic
experiences, to be integrated into everyday life and to help plan,
prepare and make sense of psychedelic experiences for a therapeutic
result. It can include an exploration of unresolved issues in the
patient's life that are embedded in his or her subconscious,
including discussions or examinations of pain. It may also include
building self-esteem, the patient taking responsibility for his or
her own condition, self empowerment, and acknowledging or releasing
any unhealthy self defence mechanism of overeating.
NeonMind previously announced that it filed a
provisional patent in December 2019 for the use of microdose
administration of Psilocybin for weight loss benefits. NeonMind has
retained contract research organization Translational Life Sciences
Inc. to design and plan an initial preclinical study using
psilocybin which is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2020. The
preclinical study is anticipated to provide data to design phase 2
human clinical trials to test Psilocybin as a weight loss
treatment. The phase 2 clinical trials are anticipated to begin in
2021, subject to receiving all required regulatory approvals.
NeonMind's combined provisional patent applications
cover the administration of Psilocybin to provide weight loss
benefits and potential treatment or regulation of diabetes, and
regulation of blood glucose, and to reduce susceptibility to
cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, multiple sclerosis, erectile dysfunction, urinary
