So Nicholas Bercel was another researcher who came over fron Hungary in the late 1940’s early 1950’s. He was working with high dose Pstchedelic Therapy with Artists around same time Oscar Janiger was doing his work with Marlene DeRios. The LSD was supplied from the Sandoz office in Hanover, NJ. Theres a film of Nicholas Bercel researching Schizophrenia via high dose study. This video is with a fellow Oregonian Artist named Samuel Udalof, he went by Willam Millarc in the video. Sadly he committed suicide 04/29/1957. I’ve interviewed his daughter and collected some of his personal effects over the years. His Artwork is beautiful yet extremely rare & very expensive. Oscar Janiger knew & worked with Nicholas as did Stan Grof.

fascinating! i was not familiar with Bercel. His story sounds quite interesting, however, and definitely related to what Szára, et al, were involved in. Super cool that you have interviewed his daughter and collected some material. Right on. Thanks for sharing!!
