Lamar Odom recently revealed that ketamine therapy has played a crucial role in aiding his battle against addiction issues. This revelation comes in the wake of the controversy surrounding Matthew Perry’s death, where it was disclosed that ketamine was present in his system at the time of his demise.

“They got to be prescribed by a doctor. You can’t do it on your own… After I get my Ketamine treatment, It’s not even safe for me to drive a car… It’s helped me, it’s helped many other people… It can help you with PTSD, addiction.”

Speaking to TMZ outside Oxy Dental, a dental facility he owns in Lomita, CA, Lamar shared insights into the efficacy of ketamine therapy, emphasizing its positive impact on his own struggles with addiction. However, Lamar highlighted the significant caveat that individuals undergoing this therapy should refrain from driving due to its effects.

Ketamine, traditionally used as an anesthetic in surgical procedures, has gained attention for its potential applications in treating depression and anxiety. Lamar’s endorsement of its therapeutic benefits sheds light on the multifaceted uses of the substance beyond its conventional role in medical settings.

The discussion around ketamine therapy gained prominence following Matthew Perry’s tragic passing. The renowned actor, famous for his role as Chandler Bing on the iconic sitcom “Friends,” was found in his jacuzzi in October, with high levels of ketamine in his system, leading to unconsciousness and, ultimately, his death.

While the coroner’s report pointed to ketamine’s presence, medical professionals like Dr. Zaid Fadul have cautioned against solely attributing blame to the drug. Dr. Fadul, who prescribes ketamine to his patients, emphasized that the coroner’s conclusions might be misleading.

Amidst Lamar Odom’s personal endorsement of ketamine therapy, he remains actively engaged in his dental business, Oxy Dental, which accepts all insurance and extends assistance to those in need. Additionally, Lamar continues his commitment to helping others through several rehab facilities, showcasing his dedication to both professional ventures and contributing to addiction recovery efforts.

Kobe Bryant’s legacy extends beyond his basketball prowess, showcasing his generosity and willingness to support those in need. Lamar Odom, Kobe’s former teammate, recently shared a heartwarming story illustrating the depth of their friendship during a challenging period in Odom’s life.

Odom opened up about his struggle with a gambling addiction that resulted in a substantial debt exceeding $100,000. Despite being aware of Kobe’s reputation for frugality, Odom reached out to his friend in a moment of desperation. Kobe, known for his intense on-court demeanor, surprised Odom by scolding him for his mistake but ultimately stepping in to help.

Kobe’s actions demonstrated not only his financial assistance but also the depth of their friendship. Despite scolding Odom, Kobe’s willingness to step in and clear the substantial gambling debt showcased a level of camaraderie that goes beyond the typical teammate relationship. It highlighted the compassionate and generous side of Kobe Bryant that often remained hidden behind his fierce competitiveness on the basketball court.

This gesture speaks to Kobe’s character as a true friend who, despite any differences or challenges, was there for Odom in a time of need. Beyond the intensity of the game, Kobe’s off-court legacy reflects a person who, as Odom emphasized, would go out of his way to help a friend navigate through life’s difficulties.
