Chrysalis Ketamine (888-836-4334) has announced a new holistic ketamine treatment for patients with persistent depressive disorder.

Thousand Oaks, United States - November 15, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The clinic’s new ketamine treatment comes in response to a global rise in persistent depressive disorder, with The National Library of Medicine reporting that 10-30% of patients fail to respond to typical antidepressant medications. Similarly, only 60-70% of patients with severe depression respond to traditional antidepressant therapy methods. With these statistics in mind, Chrysalis Ketamine offers an alternative form of treatment for depression and other mental health conditions such as anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD.

Unlike traditional depression medication such as citalopram, the clinic’s recently announced ketamine therapy offers patients rapid relief by boosting the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter responsible for the regulation of mood. Bypassing the conventional serotonin method, ketamine produces a surge in glutamate, providing patients with almost instantaneous relief from their depressive symptoms. “This is remarkably different from conventional antidepressants, which initially boost serotonin activity levels in several different areas of the brain to ultimately affect glutamate,” the clinic explains.

The clinic recommends six infusions, over a span of two to three weeks, to provide the best relief from depressive symptoms. Each infusion takes approximately one hour with the effects lasting from hours to weeks. Dr. Karpanian reports that 70% of patients respond positively to their first infusion with supplemental infusions scheduled accordingly to suit each patient’s individual needs.

Patients suffering from depression do not need a referral to access Chrysalis Ketamine’s treatment. However, Dr. Karpanian advises patients to continue their psychiatric treatment in conjunction with ketamine therapy to ensure the best results. “The process works best when approached holistically,” the clinic explains. “Good social support, supplemental and complementary therapy from your therapist or psychiatrist along with good sleep, diet and exercise are very important.”

Dr. Karpanian has over 7 years of experience administering high-dose ketamine to electroconvulsive therapy patients. For this reason, he is well-informed on any side effects that could occur and is responsive to any issues that may arise.

How one woman is rewriting kabuki’s ‘all-male’ narrative in Japan

Out of the backstage shadows, an onnagata – the traditional female role in the Japanese traditional theatre art of kabuki – steals into the light. Her hair is swept high into a voluminous bun, framing a face veiled in a thin layer of porcelain-white powder. Touches of cherry blossom flush across her eyelids and lips. She glides across the starkly lit stage so weightlessly that her steps leave silence behind. With precision, she turns, twirls and looks into the distance, face perfectly...

When centuries of Chinese knowledge were destroyed by a warlord who burned the capital

Before I went to Warsaw, I knew little of the city beyond the fact that it was Poland’s capital. I had not realised that much of present-day Warsaw, including its beautiful historic centre, was rebuilt after World War II. Warsaw’s wartime destruction was not merely the consequence of battle, but a deliberate campaign by its Nazi German occupiers to erase much of the city. In August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising – a Polish armed revolt by the city’s underground resistance against German occupation –...

What I learned from 230km ultra-marathon race in Kenya over 5 exhausting days

Halfway up a long hill in the Kenyan wilderness, a photographer pointed towards the bush. Just 20 metres (66 feet) away, a hyena was running through the undergrowth, chasing its prey. It was exhilarating – and a little terrifying. I was taking part in Beyond the Ultimate’s For Rangers Ultra, a five-day, 230km (143-mile) race through five Kenyan wildlife conservancies, where encounters like this were all part of the unique experience. Armed rangers were stationed around 300 metres apart along the...

MJ Marfori, partners toss hat into wellness ring

Entertainment journalist and television host MJ Marfori has teamed up with entrepreneurs Marga Arenas Vargas, JR Marfori and Mikee Arenas to launch Gutta Glow, a Filipino functional beverage brand that aims to make wellness more accessible and easier to incorporate into everyday routines. The four founders officially introduced the brand on Sept. 16 at The Rockwell Club in Makati City, bringing together their backgrounds in media, entertainment, marketing and business for a venture they had been developing for more than a year. For Marfori, the business marks a new chapter beyond her work in journalism and television. “I’m used to telling other people’s stories, but this time, the four of us are building our own. Gutta Glow is about taking care of yourself without making wellness feel like a chore. We wanted it to be something you can actually enjoy while navigating work, family, travel and everyday life,” Marfori said during the launch. The idea took shape during the pandemic when the founders began discussing longevity, healthier routines and the need for products that could easily fit into everyday life. JR Marfori said he and Vargas had worked together during the lockdowns and began thinking about how they could maintain a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. The group eventually decided to develop its own product, embarking on a research and development process that lasted more than a year. The founders said they divided the work according to their individual backgrounds. Vargas and MJ Marfori handle the brand and content side, while JR Marfori and Arenas focus on the business, marketing and numbers. For JR Marfori, working with family was also an important part of the venture. “We all have our roles and responsibilities. At the end of the day, I like to do business with family because I know we share the same set of values,” he said. Gutta Glow’s initial product lineup includes Honey Lemon Iced Tea, French Vanilla Coffee and Spanish Latte. Depending on the variant, the products contain functional ingredients such as inulin, green tea extract, green coffee extract, L-carnitine, garcinia cambogia, berberine extract, Immuse LP20, hydrolyzed collagen, reduced L-glutathione, skim milk, whey protein and stevia extracts. The founders said they wanted the products to retain familiar flavors while incorporating functional ingredients. “We wanted something that’s easy on the pocket, palatable and portable,” JR Marfori said. Taste was a major consideration during the development process, particularly for the coffee and iced tea variants. The founders also emphasized convenience, saying the products can be prepared at home, brought to work or taken while traveling. They are sugar-free and contain 30 calories per sachet, while some variants contain ingredients such as whey protein and prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. “The benefits really set it apart. That’s why our battle cry is, ‘Drink smart and glow hard.’ You don’t have to compromise your health. It’s really easy, it’s so convenient and it’s so delicious,” Vargas said. The founders said the products are FDA-approved and Halal-certified and that the brand has received recognition from Superbrands Philippines. “This is just the beginning. We’re also trying out new products that fit the values and the mission of Gutta Glow,” they said. The brand is available through its online channels, including Shopee, TikTok Shop, Instagram and Facebook.

Local weavers, personal stories featured in weekend fair

The “love local” movement that started over a decade ago continues to gain ground with Filipinos proud to wear their heart on their sleeve. Whether it’s a modern barong Tagalog, a beautifully made terno or simply a patch with a distinctly local design, there are now dozens of options for Filipinos to choose from. From Oct. 9 to 11, Likhang Habi marks its 16th anniversary with a weekend-long market fair. The theme this year is “Worth Every Thread” and is the organizers’ short reply to the million-peso question: Why is it so expensive? At the press launch for the upcoming event, they talked about how much time and effort went into the weaving, dyeing and stitching of the different products. While traditional artists — painters, sculptors — are known by name, few weavers and craftspeople are recognized and compensated for their creations. This is why there is a move to include the names of the weavers for the pieces that will be sold at the fair. “For many years, we’ve been asked, ‘Why are weaves so expensive?’ I’m tired of that question,” Habi council president Mia Villanueva said. “When you understand what goes into making something by hand, using indigenous fibers and traditional skills, you begin to see why it is worth every thread.” As in previous years, the fair brings together weavers, weaving communities, artisans, designers and textile entrepreneurs who have taken one of the world’s oldest crafts and infused it with innovation to create pieces that are relevant, timeless and unmistakably Filipino. One of them is Jeanafer Fernandez of Piña Seda Primera in Aklan who recalled watching as her mother wove the pineapple fibers into fabric, and experienced firsthand how the industry sustained families and provided work for local communities. Fernandez’s participation in her first Likhang Habi Market Fair in 2017 proved to be a turning point. “It was where I gained experience and learned to talk to people, especially customers who appreciated the products. I was able to showcase these products while helping artisans, weavers and embroiderers.” Today, Piña Seda Primera is known for its formal wear made from premium piña and enhanced with embroidery. Habi’s work with weaving communities extends beyond the annual market fair and into the grassroots. In Catanduanes, the organization has undertaken the Panganiban Weaving Center project as part of its commitment to supporting local weaving initiatives and bringing opportunities to communities beyond the country’s major textile centers. This year’s Kwentong Kultura (Habi lectures) will include discussions on the issues and opportunities facing weaving communities. By bringing these stories to a wider audience including students, practitioners and entrepreneurs, the talks hope to ensure that weaving traditions remain understood, valued, and carried forward. The 16th Likhang Habi Market Fair will be held on Oct. 9 to 11 at Space, 5/F One Ayala, Makati.
