(“Champignon” or the “Company”) (SHRM.CN) (496.F) (SHRMF), a human optimization sciences company focused on applying novel and natural treatment protocols to address a broad range of disorders and deficiencies with an emphasis on psychedelic medicine, continues to augment its Special Advisory Committee with the addition of key individuals experienced in highly regulated industries primed for rapid growth. To this accord, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jay Kheita, ACPR, to its Special Advisory Committee, where he will help lead the integration of Champignon’s novel and natural treatment protocols into its existing consumer packaged goods (“CPGs”) portfolio.
Champignon’s Special Advisory Committee continues to evaluate the potential positive effects of its novel and natural treatment protocols and ongoing pre-clinical trials on individuals suffering from indications such as depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as substance and alcohol use disorders.
Mr. Khetia holds pharmacy licences in Canada, Australia and England and is a graduate of the University of Brighton, where he achieved an honours degree in pharmacy specializing in pharmacognosy, the study of medicinal plants. Khetia is also a founder of AltMed Capital Corp., a leading Canadian psychedelic medicine clinic operator, IP aggregator and solutions provider, and is currently a clinical advisor at the Leslie Dan faculty of pharmacy at the University of Toronto.
Khetia strongly believes that alternative health innovations have the potential to treat patients for various chronic diseases, including PTSD, depression and anxiety, thus creating a strong synergy with Champignon’s ongoing psychedelic medicine focused studies and pre-clinical activities.
