Celebrated neurologist, psychiatrist and plant-medicine expert Dr. Dan Engle brings years of understanding of psychedelic medicine into research with Mind Cure.

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) ("Mind Cure" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the engagement of Dr. Dan Engle as Mind Cure's Primary Investigator Consultant. Dr. Engle is Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, with a clinical practice that combines functional medicine, integrative psychiatry, neuro-cognitive restoration. He is celebrated for contribution to understanding of traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery with his book The Concussion Repair Manual. Dr. Engle is transitioning from his previous role as an advisor to Mind Cure.

Mind Cure has identified traumatic brain injury ("TBI") as a priority indication which shares important biological pathways1 associated to pain.2 Mind Cure will investigate the therapeutic potential of psychedelic compounds for TBI and related conditions. Dr. Engle will facilitate the translation of Mind Cure's traumatic brain injury research from pre-clinical to clinical.

"Mind Cure is fortunate that Dr. Engle has chosen to bring his expertise and clinical experience with trauma and head injury to lead Mind Cure's research efforts," said President and CEO Kelsey Ramsden. "Dr. Engle is a trusted resource whose guidance will be pivotal in leading this transformative research program. TBI issues not only affect individuals but also can have lasting effects on families and communities".

Traumatic brain injuries are a major cause of death and disability in North America and are increasing in number. From 2006 to 2014, the number of TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths increased by 53%. An average 32,000 people in the United States have died each day from injuries that include a traumatic brain injury. Those who survive can face effects that last a few days or the rest of their lives, and can include issues related to emotional functioning (e.g., personality changes, depression) along with impairments related to thinking or memory, movement and sensations, such as vision or hearing.3
