The Ketamine induced coma treatment is illegal in the US - the FDA have not approved it. As others have said, Germany and Mexico are he only places where this highly experimental treatment is available. An alternative, FDA permitted, treatment is available in the US using a sub-anaesthetic dose of Ketamine which is given by IV infusion over a period of 5-7 days. From A UK perspective this would still be regarded as experimental although I don't know how it is officially viewed in the US.

I tried a few months ago to get aninitial appointment with Dr Schwartzman - the first appointment was December 2009 so at that time it was approximately an 18 month wait to see him. I have heard as long as 3 years quoted but if you call his office they can give you an up to date idea. Makes our NHS seem not too bad after all!!!
