The Poison Doctor: Cameron's Human Experiments with Curare and Terror

What if a respected psychiatrist was secretly injecting patients with curare - a poison that paralyzes every muscle in your body while keeping you fully conscious and aware? Donald Ewen Cameron wasn't just running MK-Ultra experiments at Allan Memorial Hospital. He was administering electroconvulsive therapy, experimental drugs, and literal poisons to patients without their knowledge or consent.

This episode exposes the calculated cruelty of Cameron's methods and reveals his most sinister discovery: that minds seeking meaning and self-help were prime targets for programming. With the explosion of spiritual seeking after the war, Cameron found an entire generation whose consciousness wasn't just open to suggestion - it was desperately seeking it.
