Dr. Barker: As of 2013, there had yet to be any examination of pineal glands or their perfusates from any animal species for the presence of DMT. Thus, Dr. Rick Strassman’s hypothesis that DMT was released from the pineal gland had yet to be subjected to true scientific inquiry. However, Rick was aware of the work of Dr. Jimo Borjigin (University of Michigan) who had developed a rat pineal gland perfusion or microdialysis method for examining the release of melatonin as well as other compounds from the pineal in free moving, living animals. Jimo agreed to collaborate on a project to examine these perfusates for DMT and provided me with samples. My laboratory applied the most stringent and sensitive analytical criteria to the analysis, using advanced mass spectrometric methodology, in an effort to determine whether DMT was present in the samples or not. From more than a dozen samples, we found five that, according to the criteria, matched all of the parameters to unequivocally identify DMT as being present in pineal gland perfusates from living rats. I have been doing DMT research since 1976 and, other than data from animals known to be administered DMT, this was my first time to see proof of endogenous DMT in such a biological sample. In fact, it was the first time anyone had seen DMT in such a sample. My reaction to our results? It changed me. The change that occurs in one’s psyche from scientific discovery, especially after a long search, or from proving a hypothesis, whether your own or, in this case, Dr. Strassman’s, is an indescribable and unique physical and emotional experience.
