Dr. Aharonov has been using Ketamine with great success in patients with long standing severe medical issues. She has received rave reviews from nearly all.

Scientists and doctors have begun studying the use of Ketamine as an antidepressant. Dr. Aharonov and her team have been on the cutting edge of this revolution.

Ketamine is a powerful hypnotic agent if used in large doses, but in any dose, it is a deeply profound analgesic. According to the latest research, Ketamine is thought to act by blocking NMDA receptors in the central nervous system which interact with amino acid glutamate. The subsequent chemical changes caused by Ketamine act long after the drug has been eliminated from the body. For nearly a decade, ketamine has been shown by many scientific studies to be effective in the treatment of severe depression, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, PTSD and other difficult to treat conditions.
