MAX Afterburner

In this explosive Whiz solo podcast he lets loose a dual rant, starting by ‘red teaming’ a report from an ‘independent nonprofit’ and their red team of the MAPS clinical trials. Whiz reminds listeners to ‘follow the money’ and questions the use of anonymous first and secondhand sources. He also wonders if it’s possible to completely remove bias from any trial (it’s not) and asks how a placebo group cannot know they didn’t get real MDMA. The report from ICER (Institute for Clinical and Economic Review) is certainly a potential threat to rescheduling the drug for therapeutic use. Whiz shifts his fire to the Biden administrations criticism of the unfortunate drone strike that killed innocent civilians, while reminding listeners we did the exact same thing leaving Afghanistan, with no one being held accountable. He opens the podcast with an update on the No Fallen Heroes universe and the simultaneous efforts underway including docuseries, Healing Realty Trust, My Crew Doses, and NuGrowth Connections.

Dr. Kristin ‘Rosie’ Barnes is back! This former F-14 Tomcat radar intercept officer turned doctor is blazing a path of healing while putting the ladder down to help others. Rosie debriefs her joint MDMA/psilocybin journey, which was basically a 1v1 dogfight with herself. MDMA is a ‘heart opener’ while psilocybin for some is more ‘internal’. She debriefs how she faced and started healing the moral injuries she incurred flying combat sorties over Afghanistan. Her incredible journey included her ‘feeling’ every armed conflict back to World War I, feeling the sheer terror of trench warfare as a young soldier. She also debriefs her ketamine experience and along with Whiz, strongly recommends this medicine as a bridge or ‘triage’ to potentially lead to deeper healing with plant medicine. Finally, Whiz and Doc agree that these healing medicines have the potential to turn warriors into peacemakers. Maybe this is a reason our government is dragging their feet to legalize these medicines for therapeutic use?

In this special episode Whiz speaks with a bad ass F-14 Tomcat aircrew turned doctor, Kristin ‘Rosie’ Barnes. Dr. Barnes is the Chief Medical Officer of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation. Rosie is a heroic trailblazer, entering naval aviation at a pivotal moment in the early 90s when females were finally allowed to serve in combat roles in the United States military. But the beginning of her career was marked by a senior leader telling her to hide any issues she was having. Over decades of service marred by compartmentalizing loss, trauma, and her sexuality, Rosie decided to ‘put the mask on herself’ and heal. She briefs listeners on her incredible experience with the sacred medicine Iboga which allowed her to see who she truly was – a perfect soul deserving of love. She talks about the preparation and the integration upon returning home to her partner. Dr. Barnes also discusses her current practice and how she helps others heal with a range of non-traditional modalities. She is coming back for another episode to debrief her psilocybin and ketamine experiences.

Whiz finishes debriefing his ketamine experience, highlighting that this medicine is potentially a great ‘triage’ to stabilize those in need of immediate healing. In the second half Whiz gives his ‘medicine checklist’. Just as a fighter pilot never gets airborne on a mission without going through detailed preflight planning, intelligence gathering, and checklists, those seeking to sit with the medicine should follow a similar approach. Whiz briefs how he prepared his body, mind, and soul for the medicine work and shares his lessons learned, along with lessons learned from many No Fallen Heroes Foundation grant recipients. Finally, he tells listeners about the Maverick Mind line of microdosing supplements from My Crew Doses. Listeners can discount code ALWAYS30 for a 30% discount. These supplements can help prepare the body, mind, and soul for a healing journey, as well as sustain the growth through the integration phase.

He shares some recent personal struggles, wanting to show that the medicine requires ‘work’ and integration in order for there to be significant healing. Nicole and Whiz tease some big things on the radar for the No Fallen Heroes Foundation and other healing projects.

After more recent ‘attacks’ from so-called religious people, Whiz digs in again to share his thoughts on being religious versus spiritual, taking issue with someone who recently said he didn’t experience God, his father, or sister Monica – but ‘demons’. He questions how religious people can be so intolerant and judgmental, believing they alone know the true way to experience God. He digs into the Gnostic Gospels and the reasons behind their exclusion from the Bible (power and money) and how the use of psychedelics predates Christianity. Whiz explores why the Gospel of Thomas for example was not included in the Bible: specifically, the gnostic themes of knowledge and self-reflection over sacraments such as baptism and Holy Communion. According to this Gospel Jesus said the kingdom of God is within and spread all around us. The focus on inner work in the Gospel of Thomas leads one to believe that the kingdom of God is not a final destination but a state of self-discovery. He reminds listeners of his love for ALL no matter their religious beliefs or what they think of him.
