Trump’s Pick For Surgeon General, Casey Means, Recommended Using Magic Mushrooms To Find A Romantic Partner

President Donald Trump‘s new pick for U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Casey Means, recommended using magic mushrooms to find a mate in her latest book.

Means was selected after Trump withdrew his first nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat. The withdrawal occurred after journalist Anthony Clark wrote an article addressing fabrications in her record.

According to Clark, Nesheiwat lied on her resume. “Over the last 15 years, [she] falsely represented or obfuscated facts about her medical education, board certifications, and military service,” he wrote. This sparked controversy and ultimately led Trump to pull the nomination.

On May 7, it was announced that Means would replace Nesheiwat as Trump’s pick. Trump stated that Means will work with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans.” He noted that Nesheiwat now holds a different position at HHS.

Means became a prominent name in Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign over the past year, thanks to the publication of a book she co-wrote with her brother, Calley Means, who closely advises Kennedy. Their bestselling book, Good Energy, discusses the country’s failure to address the roots of chronic illness and aims to teach readers how to optimize their ability to live healthily. Both siblings have been known to criticize the pharmaceutical and food industries in the U.S.

Means notably recommended guided psilocybin-assisted therapy. Psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, is illegal under federal law. Only Colorado and Oregon have legalized its use. 

Means has made her stance on vaccination and immunization clear. Once, she claimed that administering the Hepatitis B vaccine to infants is “absolute insanity and should make every American pause and question the healthcare system’s mandates.” She has referred to this as “corruption” in the FDA.

Means attended Stanford Medical School and Oregon Health and Science University before dropping out to establish a functional medicinal practice that allows users to track their glucose levels with an accompanying app.
