Fostering Remedial, Salubrious, and Sanative Health & Well-Being
At Transcendent Life Sciences, we are dedicated to pioneering the science, discovery, and development of therapeutic solutions to transform lives. Our focus is on harnessing the potential of psychedelic and psychoactive compounds to aid patients in vegetative states or comas, resulting from conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury, severe stroke, increased blood pressure, bleeding, oxygen loss, or toxin buildup.
We are at the forefront of Research, Development, and Commercialization, pursuing salubrious and sanative therapeutics to enhance treatments for traumatic brain unconsciousness. Our work targets the Reticular Activating System (RAS), which governs human consciousness. We aim to develop a (Patent-Pending) nutraceutical for Coma Resurrection Therapy (CRT) to help patients emerge from life-threatening conditions.
Transcendent Life Sciences is exploring the therapeutic benefits of nano-molecule formulations, including compounds like Psilocybin and Psilocin, derived from medicinal fungi, mushrooms, plants, herbs, and other organisms. Through controlled, quantifiable laboratory settings, we are testing micro-dosed Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and Active Nutraceutical Ingredients (ANI). Our research investigates neuron signaling to brain receptors to better understand brain death, consciousness, sub-consciousness, awareness, and deep sleep.
We strive to revolutionize treatment for patients in vegetative states or comas, offering hope through innovative, science-driven solutions. By combining cutting-edge research with a commitment to health and well-being, we aim to lead the way in coma resurrection and consciousness restoration.
Reviving Consciousness: Dr. Hyder Khoja on Psychedelics, Coma Recovery, and the Future of Brain Healing
AJEM Live, Episode 8:
Cannabinoid and psychedelic based medicines: "CRT-Coma resurrection therapy." The American Journal of Endocannabinoid Medicine’s (AJEM) mission is to educate healthcare professionals on medicines that engage with the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
In this episode, Leslie Apgar, MD, talks with Hyder Ali Khoja, PhD, about cannabinoid- and psychedelic-based medicines, and the research he’s working on in the area of coma resurrection therapy.
Empathy, Consciousness and Psilocybin, According to a Leading Life Scientist Dr. Hyder A. Khoja
