Dr. Brandon Porter: Compared himself to Spock, improved with ’emotion’, courtesy ESP

In his testimonial for NXVM/Executive Success Programs, Dr. Brandon Porter M.D.disclosed how Executive Success Programs (ESP) helped him.

Dr. Porter was still in Med School when he began ESP.

It is reported that his experiments on human fright and measuring ‘integrations’ during ESP intensives, with an EEG machine, are under investigation by New York State authorities. Dr. Porter was asked to resign his position at St. Peter’s Hospital earlier this month, following a report about his experiments in the New York Times.

Like many of Keith Raniere’s students, he probably started out with noble ideals and was induced to undertake some questionable and even sinister activities. Then once ESP had control of him, he went along with Keith Raniere’s increasingly crazy ideas.

Here is his testimonial: 

As a physician and scientist, my background is in science. I entered into my MD/PhD program with the hopes of learning the tools of science so I could use them to help humanity. It was during my training as an MD/PhD student that I was first introduced to Executive Success Programs. Initially, I was intrigued by the strength of the intellectual content and the philosophical concepts introduced in the model.
However, with time, I became even more impressed by the emotional strength I was gaining as the result of these unique and innovative tools.
Simply put, prior to taking this training, I was scared of experiencing my emotions (and other people who had emotions). You could say I identified very easily with “Spock” from Star Trek. However, as with Spock, this lack of emotionality made for a sterile and frustrating experience of life. I wanted to be emotionally present, but I felt more comfortable coming from a place of intellect and logic. However, (to my great joy!) with this new toolset I was able to craft an ability to have deep emotional experiences AND hone my tools of logic and scientific inquiry together. (It turns out, unlike in Star Trek, emotional strength and logical ability are not mutually exclusive.)
As a result, I feel more like a living, breathing, compassionate human being and I think my friends, family and patients experience me this way too. I also gained a greater capacity for scientific investigation, but, in hindsight, this seems like a pleasant side effect.
BRANDON PORTER / M.D., PH.D.
Dr. Porter compared himself to the Sci-fi character Mr. Spock.
That a man who desires emotional strength and logic would subject women  to surprise fright experiments, in which he would, without any warning or consent,  show them films of startling horror and monitor their reactions via EEG machines, seems contradictory and reckless.
Dr. Porter may have intended to conduct honest research, but the lack of any protocol for the study, plus lack of concern for the possible emotional damage his subjects would endure, means his conduct was unprofessional and unethical – and possibly illegal,
Was this in any way a product of ESP?

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
