The findings still inform treatment for alcohol addiction today. But look beneath the surface, and you find a legacy of human experimentation, sinister medical institutions, and CIA money. Sounds like conspiracy theory nonsense, right? It isn't. And it's very scary.This episode of Bat Country is a bit of a change of pace from the norm, and I'll be returning to the normal, more personal style videos now. But this was so interesting I just HAD to talk about it.As always, good luck out there.Email me here: [email protected]:00:00 Introduction00:26 Background and Context02:28 MKUltra & The CIA07:01 Dr. Harris Isbell10:57 Delirium Tremens & "The Rum Fits"14:15 The Experiment and the "Volunteers" 15:24 Methodology17:46 Meet The Patients23:04 The Experiment Part 1: Preliminary Period26:04 The Experiment Part 2: Chronic Intoxication33:14 The Experiment Part 3: Abstinence & Withdrawal41:00 Findings44:38 ConclusionBat Country site: https://www.batcountry.co/ Bat Country on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/batcountryyt/ Bat Country on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BatCountryYT Bat Country on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@welcometobatcountry#alcoholfree  #alcoholrecovery #sober #soberlife #sobriety #alcoholism #recoverySupport the show
