Mind Cure Engages Dr. Dan Engle as Primary Investigator for Research in Traumatic Brain Injury with Psychedelics

Celebrated neurologist, psychiatrist and plant-medicine expert Dr. Dan Engle brings years of understanding of psychedelic medicine into research with Mind Cure.

VANCOUVER, BC – Feb. 17, 2021 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“Mind Cure” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the engagement of Dr. Dan Engle as Mind Cure’s Primary Investigator Consultant. Dr. Engle is Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, with a clinical practice that combines functional medicine, integrative psychiatry, neuro-cognitive restoration. He is celebrated for contribution to understanding of traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery with his book The Concussion Repair Manual. Dr. Engle is transitioning from his previous role as an advisor to Mind Cure.

Mind Cure has identified traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) as a priority indication which shares important biological pathways[1] associated to pain.[2] Mind Cure will investigate the therapeutic potential of psychedelic compounds for TBI and related conditions. Dr. Engle will facilitate the translation of Mind Cure’s traumatic brain injury research from pre-clinical to clinical.

“Mind Cure is fortunate that Dr. Engle has chosen to bring his expertise and clinical experience with trauma and head injury to lead Mind Cure’s research efforts,” said President and CEO Kelsey Ramsden. “Dr. Engle is a trusted resource whose guidance will be pivotal in leading this transformative research program. TBI issues not only affect individuals but also can have lasting effects on families and communities”.

Traumatic brain injuries are a major cause of death and disability in North America and are increasing in number. From 2006 to 2014, the number of TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths increased by 53%. An average 32,000 people in the United States have died each day from injuries that include a traumatic brain injury. Those who survive can face effects that last a few days or the rest of their lives, and can include issues related to emotional functioning (e.g., personality changes, depression) along with impairments related to thinking or memory, movement and sensations, such as vision or hearing.[3]

About Dr. Dan Engle

Dr. Dan Engle is Medical Director of Kuya Institute for Transformational Medicine, consultant to numerous international plant-based healing and recovery centers. Specializing in psychiatry and neurology, Dr. Engle’s clinical practice is based on regenerative medicine, orthomolecular psychiatry, integrative spirituality, and peak performance methods. His 2017 book The Concussion Repair Manual, a guidebook to recovering from traumatic brain injury, is celebrated by physicians and professional athletes alike. His subsequent Full Spectrum Medicine program accelerates healing by combining traditional medical practices with neuro-regenerative medical technologies, including psychedelic medicines. With dozens of appearances on popular podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and The Tim Ferriss Show, Dr. Engle is a widely regarded thinker on both the subjects of psychedelic medicine and traumatic brain injury.

Mind Cure Signs LOI to Acquire an Ownership Interest in Psychedelic Treatment Center ATMA, Selected by Section 56 Exempt Patient for Psilocybin Therapy

The strategic partnership between Mind Cure and ATMA will bridge access to research locations for psychedelic drug research while providing patient data for iSTRYM, Mind Cure’s digital therapeutics platform.

VANCOUVER, BC – January 12, 2021 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“Mind Cure” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) for strategic investment and commercial cooperation with ATMA Journey Centers Inc. (“ATMA”), a Calgary-based organization. ATMA is the first commercial treatment center in Canada to announce providing psychedelic-assisted therapy for a section 56 exempt patient. The LOI is intended to help Mind Cure secure an equity position within ATMA, empowering the Company with access to a global release strategy for iSTRYM, as well as international locations for translational research on novel molecules and treatment protocols.

“ATMA’s clinicians possess a proven track record of advocacy and innovation driving toward the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic medicine for patients in the treatment of mental health and wellness. Mind Cure is extremely excited to join ATMA in the renaissance that is disrupting mental health care by partnering with one of the pioneers in the therapeutic psychedelics industry,” said Kelsey Ramsden, President & CEO, Mind Cure. “With Mind Cure’s therapeutic tool, iSTRYM, along with ATMA’s pivotal achievement as the care provider for Canada’s most recent section 56(1) exempt patient, mental health care in Canada is making history. We are thrilled to work with the best-in-class to drive our focus on accelerating our research and technology platforms.”

Mind Cure’s partnership with ATMA is an exciting opportunity for researchers and therapists to participate in each of Mind Cure’s research programs focused on pain, neuroregeneration, migraines, and cluster headaches. The proposed investment will facilitate the syndication of Mind Cure’s psychedelic drug protocols and the use of Mind Cure’s proprietary technology, iSTRYM, to optimize treatment for ATMA clients.

The deployment of capital will also advance speed and scale for data enrichment of iSTRYM, providing the AI-driven platform with access to patient data as ATMA targets domestic and international healing and treatment centers.

“Psilocybin-assisted therapy offers healing and understanding that is unmatched by traditional methods. Patients dealing with end-of-life anxiety, pain, depression, trauma, and addiction have been at the mercy of ineffective and underwhelming treatments for much too long. The resources are here, and we are extremely grateful to be at the frontlines of this world-changing, innovative, and extremely alleviating solution, to help bring peace to sufferers,” said David Harder, co-CEO, ATMA Journey Centers Inc. “We are witnessing an inflection point for mental health treatment as the commitment to wellness in Canada takes a huge step forward.”

Pursuant to the LOI, the parties intend to negotiate the terms of definitive agreements (the “Definitive Agreements“), which will provide for, among other things an initial $500,000 investment by Mind Cure in ATMA, participation by Mind Cure in ATMA’s future financings, and the exclusive use of iSTRYM throughout ATMA’s business. There can be no assurance that the Definitive Agreements will be entered into or that the investment or commercial transactions will be completed on the terms proposed in the LOI or at all.

Mind Cure Announces Build-Out of Digital Therapeutics, iSTRYM: A Technology Platform for Mental Wellness Optimization & Psychedelic Research

Mind Cure’s iSTRYM (pronounced eye-stream) has been designed to warehouse the largest collection of psychedelic research and ongoing mental optimization data. With machine learning deployed, iSTRYM will provide greater speed to Mind Cure’s research team, richer data to health professionals and clients, as well as a hub of protocol and procedural information for psychedelic practitioners worldwide.

VANCOUVER, BC – January 06, 2021 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“Mind Cure” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the release of iSTRYM, the Company’s digital therapeutic tool, designed to provide close to real-time data regarding patient care, procedures and protocols, and other resources for therapists, clinicians, and patients with mental health concerns.

“As a life sciences and digital therapeutics company, providing speed to market with novel psychedelic therapies through deeper data analytics is a strength we are developing with iSTRYM. Further, as we build out our database for mental wellness, both therapists and individuals will get mental wellness protocols for wellness optimization and support. iSTRYM exists to become the source that individuals turn to for science-backed, personalized mental health support at scale.”- Kelsey Ramsden, President & CEO.

Gaps between clients, researchers, and therapists create disparities in the collection of critical insights that arise outside of psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions, and ultimately prevent new scientific breakthroughs. Mind Cure’s iSTRYM provides a digital solution to the loss of crucial, uncategorized data points by connecting patient feedback and clinician expertise together in one place. Additionally, most psychedelic therapy research exists in cloistered scientific communities, which limits the possible intersection of great clinical practice and new protocols. iSTRYM brings together a large database of existing protocols to all psychedelic clinicians, enhancing the scientific efficacy for the entire psychedelic research community.

“We’re developing the kind of global administration portal that could become the solution the industry needs. One of the key differentiators in our proprietary tech piece is the implementation of artificial intelligence, working in the background, to taxonify the uncategorized daily inputs from patients into tangible assets that will then inform treatments. From onboarding patients to collecting critical insights across different arms of the psychedelics research space, iSTRYM could revolutionize the way we build communities around a common goal of mental wellness.” – Geoff Belair, CTO.

About Mind Cure’s iSTRYM

iSTRYM is a centralized management system for psychedelic therapeutic research, the deployment of care and integration based on a microservices design model, and is built with responsive principals. iSTRYM contains strategic data loops that continually aggregate new insights, and an application that equips patients as active participants in their own mental wellness journey.

The focus with iSTRYM is to disrupt the mental health industry by providing accessible and innovative technological resources that optimize the use of patient data to support diagnoses and treatments. iSTRYM’s app component will record patients’ uncategorized data, such as weather, location, mood, heart rate, and other metrics that take place after therapy sessions and throughout therapeutic integration.

This protocol optimization coupled with iSTRYM’s AI will create a convergence of commonalities among patients. iSTRYM will use AI to collate insights found across datasets to steer clinicians towards better diagnoses, treatments, and ultimately personalized care at scale.

The name iSTRYM reflects empathy, commonalities, and Mind Cure’s mission as an adaptive mental wellness company. The lowercase “i” represents the collective “we” of humanity and life on planet Earth, all of which are connecting, building, and reflecting together as pillars in our world. As a stream flows, adapts, grows, and changes, so do we. We choose to work collectively, utilizing data to elevate and transform our collective mental wellness.

Mind Cure Announces its Research Program with Psychedelic Compounds

The company is focused on investigating Psilocybin, Ketamine and Ibogaine compounds to be used in the treatment of physical and psychological pain and related mental health illnesses

Vancouver, BC – December 8, 2020 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (DTC: MCURF) (“Mind Cure” or the “Company”) is pleased today to announce its translational research program, with an initial focus on psilocybin, ketamine and ibogaine.

These three psychedelic compounds have demonstrated safety profiles with proven efficacy but have not been optimized for medical use. This research program will enable Mind Cure to investigate these compounds for use in pharmaceuticals that treat physical and psychological pain and related mental health illnesses.

Translational research is multidisciplinary in nature and involves applying laboratory research and preclinical studies to develop clinical trials and studies in humans, with the long-term aim of moving scientific discoveries quicker and more effectively.

With this announcement, Mind Cure begins executing on its groundbreaking approach to expedite research and development programs in psychedelic compounds and methodologies. Mind Cure is focused on delivering validation of commercially viable medicines, methods and tools to address the numerous priorities in treating mental health and building upon the current landscape of research in psychedelic compounds, which have largely been studied for psychiatric medicine to date.

Mind Cure’s research into pain will holistically account for the mixed effects of physical pain, psychological pain and the referred and lasting effects on quality of life and clinical outcomes in patients. “Pain transcends all health conditions and, in many ways, contributes significantly to secondary complications, some of which continue throughout a person’s lifetime,” stated Dr. Ryan Hartwell. “Despite social stigmas, many classical psychedelics have safely demonstrated profound therapeutic effectiveness with alleviating all forms of pain associated with neurological trauma and chronic diseases. We begin our research with tremendous promise for new medicines that share structural similarities with improved receptor targeting, dosing, and therapeutic profiles.”

Currently, a variety of drugs are used to manage pain, resulting from inflammation in response to tissue damage, chemical agents/pathogens (nociceptive pain) or nerve damage (neuropathic pain). Most of these drugs act by binding to protein targets on cell membranes and affecting biochemical processes of the body. The need for better drugs to treat all types of pain is only increasing. One specific area of pain treatment Mind Cure is pursuing is headaches. The global migraine drug market is expected to reach USD 3.51 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 13.3% from the 2018 data.

Psychoactive properties of ibogaine have been known for decades, and more recently, experimental data from animals and anecdotal reports in humans has shown ibogaine to possess anti-addictive effects. “Ibogaine has tremendous potential,” said Hamilton Morris, who serves on Mind Cure’s scientific advisory board. “It has an incredibly complex pharmacology and that’s just what is currently known, there is still a great deal of research to be done with ibogaine and as well as related alkaloids and synthetic derivatives.”

With respect to ketamine, it has become one of the most promising and exciting neuroprotective agents and therapeutic medicines following neurological and cerebral trauma, and psychiatric conditions such as depression and PTSD. Both ketamine and ibogaine are listed in Canada on the Prescription Drug List and can be administered with a prescription. Recently, psilocybin cubensis has received exemption for medical use.

“We have built a world-class team of scientific minds, and one with a remarkable multi-disciplinary approach to treating mental health,” stated Mind Cure President and CEO Kelsey Ramsden. “Under the leadership of Dr. Hartwell, research using these first three psychedelic compounds is just the beginning. Our focus is on bringing treatment to market with speed and rigor, as such these compounds make the utmost strategic and tactical sense due to their proven efficacy and alignment with the areas of mental health that we are focused on.”

MINDCURE’s Five Spheres™

MINDCURE’s mission is to identify, develop, and commercialize products that enhance mental health and wellness, ease suffering, and increase productivity.

MINDCURE was formed as a response to a world suffering and in urgent need of effective treatments in the midst of a mental health crisis.

MINDCURE is exploring related and diverse therapeutic areas beyond psychiatry, which include therapeutics for neuropathic pain, neurodegenerative disease, and mental health.

MINDCURE’s purpose is to transform the pathways and products of tomorrow. This necessitates a unique approach to product development investigations. The elegance of MINDCURE’s Five Spheres™ framework is intended to find and deliver multipliers of value to shareholders that diversify commercial outputs.

Taken together, MINDCURE’s Five Spheres™, including research, discovery, clinical programs, technology, and GMP scale-up, will guide us in the adoption of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, regenerative medicine, and neuroscience. Beyond the physical and mental benefits, MINDCURE is determined to transform the ideas of today into the products of tomorrow that unify the mind and body in a world suffering from a mental health crisis.

Clinical Research Technology

Monitoring Psychoactive Therapy

MINDCURE is pursuing technology and products that are complimentary or related to its mission to identify, develop, and commercialize products that enhance mental health and wellness, ease suffering, and increase productivity.

MINDCURE is investigating technology that focuses on the connection between clinical patient‐trials that monitor, collect, or use patient information in order to assist in diagnosis and treatments.

Currently, most patients being treated for mental health concerns do not receive any meaningful data before and after therapy sessions. MINDCURE is investigating technology that could enable the collection of data between sessions. This would equip clinicians with additional patient feedback and data-driven insights into the efficacy of treatments therapy.

Nootropic Formulations

Manufacturing and Supplying Adaptogens

MINDCURE seeks to commercialize the therapeutic potential of nootropics, psychoactive products, and psychedelic substances that promote productivity and enhance mental health.

The first line of products that MINDCURE intends to launch are three types of organic mushroom nootropics. These products will be distributed under the following product names: MINDCURE Lion’s Mane Focus, MINDCURE Reishi Energy, and MINDCURE Turkey Tail Immunity. Each of these products will be available in powdered and capsule form.

Clinical Research

Deliverying Psychoactive Therapies

MINDCURE is evaluating potential research programs, protocols, and supportive infrastructure to drive clinical research.

MINDCURE is investing in proprietary research programs, protocols, and support infrastructure for conducting clinical research. MINDCURE will examine the potential of mental health clinical trial protocols that may include psychoactive and psychedelic based substances, and investigate the ability to conduct clinical trials with Health Canada.

Product Discovery

Investigating Custom Synthesis of Product Candidates and New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) or “Research Chemicals”

MINDCURE is evaluating the legal and commercial viability of psychedelic compounds, such as psilocybin, as part of its future product candidates.

MINDCURE’s product discovery sphere will investigate the potential of new discoveries and explore the therapeutic pathology and regenerative benefits of novel and traditional psychoactive chemical compounds in clinical studies. This investigation may include new and improved psychedelic-inspired product candidates ranging from proprietary new-psychedelic compounds to non‐psychedelics with medicinal properties.

Formulations & Supply

eGMP, API Manufacturing, and Supply

MINDCURE is interested in the potential of mental health clinical trial protocols that may include psychoactive and psychedelic-based substances.

MINDCURE will investigate the ability to conduct clinical trials under the supervision and guidance of Health Canada.

The process will comply with regulatory certifications and licensing within Canadian federal regulatory agencies (including Health Canada) and the US Federal regulatory agencies (including the FDA).

The importation of traditional and novel psychoactive substances into North America could be used to service clinical research programs and satisfy underserviced access to psychoactive pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for research.
