You dont need ketamine or any other drug. Just go for a walk or a bike ride in a nice green place. Above all avoid SSRIs. A significant number of male and female patients who take them are plagued by sexual dysfunction after them. Some find this a persistent problem, long after they stopped taking them.

Since the covid medical mitigation procedure, there have been many cases of turbo cancer, especially the unusual cancers like penis cancer. I'm lucky because I didn't receive the medical procedure, so when I caught it, instead of turbo penis cancer, I just got the turbo penis.

Joking aside - there is no rise in cases of cancer not easily explained by the fact that we have more old people than ever before, and that cancer is mostly an illness of advanced age.

Sad to say, my old Border Terrier (14 years old) has just been diagnosed with cancer in his jaw. A fortnight later he is coughing hoarsley and the vet says he has lung cancer now. It only took a week.... Is that turbo cancer? He has not had a covid jab, or any jab for the last 13 years as far as I know.

Probably the dog food. I had some friends that were vegans. They had two lovely unrelated dogs. They decided to make their dogs vegan too. Both dogs died of mouth cancer at roughly the same time at a relatively young age. Unfortunately, I was not able to interrogate them on exactly what food they were giving the poor dogs.

You only get the turbo cancer if you've had the medical procedure. I can be certain that it's true because the BBC, Reuters and the Guardian say it isn't.
