00:00At first, I was just wondering, when is this going to start?
00:03The medicine brings out things it wants you to see, and you don't know why.
00:10I had a lot of stuff to work through.
00:13Navy SEAL training is one of the most demanding things on the planet.
00:17It was like being drafted and going to the Patriots.
00:20It was everything I ever wanted.
00:22The worse the place was, the more we wanted to go.
00:26It felt like Russian Roulette. Every time he would leave, he may not come home.
00:31Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.
00:34We got discovered.
00:36I can't fire back, because I can't see anybody.
00:40I thought my arm was gone.
00:42And I can't feel anything.
00:45Blood and bullets spewed all over that thing.
00:52You go overseas and you see half your platoon get killed.
00:55We're not supposed to leave him.
00:58I was just begging, can you please help him?
01:01The TBI and the memory loss, I'd meet someone.
01:04I don't know what your name is. No idea.
01:06He was doing all the things he was told to do.
01:08And he was actually getting worse.
01:10I got his medical records.
01:12I completely changed my approach.
01:15Psychedelic medicines proved to be effective.
01:18But both are illegal in the United States.
01:21So Marcus would have to travel to Mexico.
01:24If you love your wife, you'll go to Mexico and do psychedelics.
01:33All the body armor you put on, that all goes away.
01:36My brothers, my teammates, you deserve to be happy and live a good life.
01:47This is just one of those points in medicine where I've got to have the courage to jump.
01:52That medicine takes you right to the crest and you fall off.
02:00You get into this line of work because we feel like it's who we are.
02:04Who the hell am I now?
02:05Who the hell am I now?
