Does Ibogaine work?

[jj5577]

I have read many articles for the supposed "wonder cure" for addiction, ibogaine.  I was wondering if there could possibly be any truth to it.... although I highly doubt it because it sounds too good to be true.

I was hoping that if there is even a grain of truth to it, it might help my fiance so he could detox off of 90 mg of methadone, which he has been taking for about 5 years.

Does anyone know anything about ibogaine for real?

Iboga is totally safe when used correctly. The problem is too many people are trying to use it without knowing how to use it properly. There are tribes in central West Africa who have been using this plants safetly for over a millenia. I have been to Africa and lived with them and eaten Iboga.  The reason it is not being used in the US is because it actually works and drug companies prefer to make more money by keeping people on perscription drugs. And No natural plant can been patented..which equals no money for those who would like to control it.I have taken Iboga and it worked for me and I have witnessed over 100 other people take Iboga and it worked for them too. Make note I am saying Iboga and not Ibogaine. Ibogaine is merly an extraction and it is void of all the healing properties of the plant.
There is a Bwiti Shaman (Iboga guide) from Africa in the west providing safe treatments. Google Bwiti Shaman to learn about the truth of this natural and safe medicine that can not be patent by the US med companies and should not be used by the unexperienced.

I took iboga and it was the worst experience of my life. I hated it..I had so many hallucinations, I got crazy. Am back on suboxone now. I paid a lot of money for this treatment to no avail, I still had it in the back of mind to crave. Its only about getting the withdrawals out but many OTC meds can do that. I thought I was going to die no joke. Please people don't risk your lives with this.

I've taken it, it worked for a 20 year alcohol addiction, and really helped with shame and self perception.
I've given it, and within 45 minutes the opiate w/d sx slip away. It's a great thing to see, color come back, skin get warm, visibly relax.
Most providers will want you to be on a short acting opiate for a bit before jumping off with ibo, because sub and methadone are so long acting. Ibo can do it w/ sub and meth, it just takes longer and uses more medicine. A heroin habit, though, boom. 3 days and done in most of the treatments. You want to have a week or two off of your life after to integrate the experience. It is huge, you are like a baby, tabula rasa, get to rewrite so much and it takes time.
Pygmies have been taking it for THOUSANDS of years in very large doses. So it's dangerous? Tell the pygmies. If westerners take certain precautions, it's safe.
It changed my life for the better, I am continually evolving. Hi all, I was actually trying for info on lamictal and found this. :)

Similar to this , the US goverment did experiments and a film about detoxing and curing alcoholicswith LSD in the 1950's. It appears to have worked for some but must have had some baleful results in other cases because they abandoned the trials. There are no miracle cures for addiction. There are no drug solutions to drug addiction. Detox is only the first step.

I believe the guys name is Pincner - something like that..... Daniel or David -  And there is no real danger that you could end up liking the stuff. Its not that kind of thing. More like datura or jimsonweed - that kind of stuff. Dont waste your time on it. I have to agree with steveo - - you have to want it - no "get out of jail free" cards are available for this one.
