Doctor discloses horrific effects of daily 6g ketamine use after Emily Willis left 'permanently disabled'

After former adult industry actress Emily Willis had locked-in syndrome, a specialist explained what six grams of ketamine per day can do to the body.

Willis, 26, (real name Litzy Lara Banuelos), has been unable to move her body except her eyes after a cardiac attack in a rehabilitation center in February 2024.

This is because it robbed her of oxygen for an extended length of time, leaving her 'permanently disabled'.

In May, following the tragedy, her family released an update on her condition, stating that she had emerged from a 'vegetative coma'.

Her family penned the following note: "Recently, Emily's world, and ours, was turned upside down when she was admitted to the hospital, marking the beginning of an incredibly tough and unforeseen battle."

Unfortunately, Willis' condition means she can only move her eyes and is effectively paralyzed.

It occurred after she was taken to the Malibu Rehabilitation Center in January 2024.

According to a recent lawsuit filed by her family, she had a heart arrest and went into a 'vegetative coma'.

However, it claims Willis suffered 'permanent physical and mental impairment' and charges the institution with 'abuse of a dependent adult, professional malpractice, carelessness, and fraudulent business operations'.

The lawsuit states that Willis was brought to the treatment center after using 'five to six grams [of ketamine] each day for a year'.

According to the complaint, Willis was discovered unresponsive after being brought to rehab, and nurses and paramedics did CPR for 30 to 40 minutes before restoring her heartbeat.

However, she now suffers from locked-in syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that prevents her from moving or speaking.

Filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, her family allege that she did not get adequate care throughout her stay.

She has previously been diagnosed with mental health disorders such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

How does taking six grams of ketamine a day affect the body?

Dr Suzanne Wylie, a GP and medical consultant for IQdoctor, has spoken openly about the effects of a steady dose of ketamine on the body.

Dr. Wylie said that, while the anesthetic has both medical and recreational uses, it may have' significant and perhaps permanent impacts on both physical and mental health' if used in excess over an extended length of time.

The bladder

She explained that excessive ketamine usage can lead to'severe' bladder damage.

This is referred to as ketamine-induced cystitis.

"This can cause intense pain, urinary frequency, incontinence, and, in some cases, permanent damage requiring surgical intervention," the physician said.

Stomach troubles

It may also induce recurrent nausea, stomach discomfort, and a condition known as 'K cramps'.

For people who suffer from it, eating and digesting might be uncomfortable.

Liver, kidney, heart, and lungs

Also, extended ketamine usage causes toxicity and organ malfunction, which impairs liver and kidney function.

Ian Budd, pharmacist and medical consultant at Chemist4U, added: "The kidneys also suffer, as ketamine impairs their ability to filter toxins, increasing the risk of infections and kidney failure." Similarly, the liver, which processes the medication, might become inflamed and damaged, limiting its capacity to operate normally."

He said that persistent ketamine use weakens the heart and lungs by increasing blood pressure and pulse rate.

Budd explained that some people who use ketamine in excess may have difficulty breathing, especially if they combine it with other substances such as alcohol.

Cognitive difficulties

Dr Wylie went on to say that persistent ketamine use can impair a person's cognitive ability.

She said dependence and tolerance might develop, resulting in increasing usage and an increased risk of mental problems such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

"Some users also report experiencing persistent dissociative symptoms or hallucinatory episodes even when not using the drug."

According to Budd, it can also lead to disorientation, paranoia, and mood changes.

"Over time, ketamine users may struggle to concentrate, process information or even feel connected to reality," he said.

However, it can have an impact on people's overall well-being and relationships.

"Given the serious health risks associated with such high levels of consumption, it is crucial that individuals struggling with ketamine dependence seek professional medical support as soon as possible," Dr. Wylie said. PA
