	Humphry Osmond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humphry Fortescue Osmond (July 1, 1917 - February 6, 2004) was a British psychiatrist, known for coining the word psychedelic and for his groundbreaking research in using psychedelic drugs in medical research.
		Osmond was open-minded, curious, and adventurous enough to participate in an all-night Native American Church ceremony in which he and the others present (Plains Indians) ingested peyote in a tipi regarded as sacred space.
		Osmond is also known for one study in the late 1950s in which he attempted to cure alcoholics with acute LSD treatment, resulting in a claimed 50% success rate.

	Telegraph \| News \| Dr Humphry Osmond
		Dr Humphry Osmond, the psychiatrist who has died aged 86, coined the term "psychedelic" to describe the mind-altering substances LSD and mescalin, and introduced Aldous Huxley to these drugs; in 1953 he administered 400 mg of mescalin to Huxley, an episode described in the novelist's cult book The Doors of Perception (1954).
		Humphry Osmond was born on July 1 1917 in Surrey and educated at Haileybury.
		Osmond's interest in psychedelics was not confined to the treatment of schizophrenia; under his supervision, architects took LSD and spent time on hospital wards in an attempt to understand what would be the most appropriate environment for a mental patient.

	Society \| Humphry Osmond
		The outstanding achievement of the psychiatrist Dr Humphry Osmond, who has died aged 86, lay in helping to identify adrenochrome, a hallucinogen produced in the brain, as a cause of schizophrenia, and in using vitamins to counter it.
		Humphry was reluctant: he did not "relish the possibility, however remote, of finding a small but discreditable niche in literary history as the man who drove Aldous Huxley mad".
		None the less, Humphry had no enthusiasm for the drug excesses of the counterculture: to him, hallucinogens were "mysterious, dangerous substances, and must be treated respectfully", and he regretted the loss of medical opportunities caused by their ban by the end of the 1960s.

	Abram Hoffer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He looked for better answers to treat the mentally ill. He used biochemistry and human physiology as an emergent psychiatric research paradigm, and was critical of psychosomatic psychoanalysis and the lack of adequate definition and measurement in psychiatric methodology.
		Working with Humphry Osmond, MD and their scientific teams, they developed the oxidized adrenalin - adrenochrome model of schizophrenia, the Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic Test (HOD), niacin therapy for schizophrenia, and tests for hallucinogenic indole metabolites.
		Hoffer and Osmond also did pioneering studies with an indole, LSD, to simulate delirium tremens to treat over 2000 alcoholics with a 45-50% success rate.

		Humphry Osmond was the local hospital's superintendent and director of research when he administered mescaline to the writer Aldous Huxley in 1953.
		Osmond had started his research into LSD in England, shocking the medical establishment there when he and a colleague suggested that schizophrenia might be a form of self-intoxication caused by the body producing its own LSD-like compounds.
		Osmond is survived by his son Donnie, and his daughter Marie, both of whom consumed copious quantities of LSD while working on their TV variety show...

	H Osmond, Coined The Term `psychedelic' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		OSMOND, COINED THE TERM `PSYCHEDELIC' Humphry F. Osmond, the British-born psychiatrist who introduced the word ``psychedelic'' to describe the effects of hallucinatory drugs, died of cardiac arrhythmia Feb. 6 at his daughter's home in Appleton, Wis.
		In 1951 Dr. Osmond accepted an appointment at a psychiatric hospital in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, where he and a few Canadian colleagues, notably Abraham Hoffer, had hypothesized that schizophrenia was the result of a body producing its own toxic compound similar to mescaline; that, they said, caused hallucinations.
		Osmond agreed but later said he did not ``relish the possibility, however remote, of finding a small but discreditable niche in literary history as the man who drove Aldous Huxley mad.'' Huxley, who found the experience mystical and revelatory, wrote about his mescaline use in the book ``The Doors of Perception'' (1954).

		Osmond’s reaction confirmed his belief that doctors could learn from mescaline-induced experiences to appreciate distortions in perception: during Osmond’s inaugural experiment, his body’s reaction to mescaline presented him with a first-hand experience of perceptual disturbances.
		Osmond treated one male and one female patient with a single dose each of 200 mcg of LSD; this rather large dose was used to ensure a strong reaction (D Blewett, personal communication, 2003).
		Osmond recommended instead that experiments should be designed to measure all effects first and to apply controls as necessary, in accordance with the consequent establishment of theories based on experiments.

		Humphry Osmond, the psychiatrist who cohned the word "psychedelic" for the drugs to which he introduced the writer and essayist Aldous Huxley, died on Feb. 6 at his home in Appleton Wis. He was 86.
		Dr. Osmond entered the history of the counterculture by supplying hallucinogenic drugs to Huxley, who as described mystical significance to them in his playfully thoughtful, widely read book "The Doors of Perception," from which the rock group the Doors took its name.
		So in 1953, a day Dr. Osmond described 12 years later as " a delicious May morning," he dropped a pinch of silvery white mescaline crystals in a glass of water and handed it to Huxley, the author of "Brave New World," which described a totalitarian society in which people are controlled by drugs.

		The schoolfriend in question was one Dr Humphry Fortescue Osmond, a scientist who became interested in the field of hallucinogens in 1952 while working on a cure for mental illness.
		Osmond sought to spread the word further and, to that end, he contacted his old friend Christopher Mayhew to see if it was possible to arrange a BBC radio documentary on the subject.
		And the BBC quite rightly thought this was a first class idea for a program, and so did Humphry, and he came down to my home in Surrey, and in front of a film camera he gave me, I think it would be 400mg, of mescaline hydrochloride, sitting in my own armchair at home.

		Introduction: Humphry Osmond is a psychiatrist who participated in the early beginning of Canadian research with LSD and other psychedelic agents.
		Quoting him from below, Dr. Osmond found "these experiences have been the most strange, most awesome and among the most beautiful things in a varied and fortunate life." This understanding prompted to him to seek out the effects of psychedelics when given to approximately 50 persons of recognized abilities.
		One of Dr. Osmond's subjects was Aldous Huxley, whose book the Doors' of perception became a classic source of information on the depth of understanding that could be revealed through the ingestion of mescaline.
