News - Shulgin suffers stroke. (Update)

God in his laboratory.

Alexander Shulgin, 85, whose extensive research in psychopharmacology can be claimed to have positively benefited the lives of millions, is in hospital after suffering a stroke.

Man at pearly gates : "Who's that over there, looks like Alexander Shulgin?"
St Christopher : "Nah, that's God. He just likes to play at being Shulgin now and again."

Thoughts go out to a great man.

Sasha and Ann

Hello Everyone ~ This morning on the way to the hospital for a scheduled test, Sasha had a stroke. He has been struggling for six months with an ulcer on his left foot that won’t heal, hoping to avoid amputation. Sasha & Ann have been in serious financial trouble for some years, and the coming medical bills will be a burden they can’t bear alone. Please, express your gratitude for all the work that Sasha has done, for everything he has given to the world, and give something back. Think of all the ways that your life, and the lives of others, have been healed, transformed, and bettered by this wonderful man. He needs your help now. No amount is too small or too large. Please give until it feels good...not until it hurts.

It's a damn shame. This bloke has done more for mental health than anyone else in history.
One day his 'tools' will be used to help so many people and will be fully excepted by mainstream medicine.
Like so many people before him his life time work will be hailed as some of the most important discoveries of all time.
What do that lovely couple have to day.
Unaffordable medical bills and so many untruths told about them. 
The world should hang it's head in shame to how one of its brightest stars has been treated.

The stroke was relatively minor, and he has suffered some speech disturbances, but should still able to communicate effectively with some therapy. The bigger problem is the foot, which has gotten pretty necrotic. They were having problems getting the angiogram but he got put under yesterday (to prevent movement, he kept moving the first few attempts) and was supposed to come home today. Lets hope it went well.
