the Renaissance of medicine

the Lord created medicines out of the earth and a wise man will not abhor them ~Ecclesiastes

Street drugs are revolutionizing the way science looks at disease. As we speak studies are underway across the globe to understand the amazing powers of these drugs hold. And while mainstream society terms them drugs, I believe the correct terms are medicinal herbs or healing plants. These are medicines that come from the divine. They grow under the ground on which we walk. For example, marijuana come from the Cannabis plant. LSD is created from the LSD-60 compound found in the morning glory flower. Magic mushrooms grow naturally in nature. Ibogaine is derived from Iboga, a rainforest shrub.These medicines are sacred and help us heal.

Army Veterans are taking Ecstasy to treat their PTSD

In a study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology the drug MDMA commonly known as Ecstasy has shown that the drug when combined with Psychotherapy can cure, can CURE post-traumatic stress disorder in army veterans returning from war. An excerpt from Medicinenet.com is as follows:

“PTSD treatment involves revisiting the trauma in a therapeutic setting, but many patients become overwhelmed by anxiety or numb themselves emotionally, and so they can’t really successfully engage,” said study lead researcher Dr. Michael Mithoefer, a psychiatrist in private practice in Charleston, S.C. “But what we found is that the MDMA seemed to temporarily decrease fear without blunting emotions, and so it helped patients better process their grief.”

Psychedelic Drugs are Back

Doctors at top hospitals and universities in Canada, the U.S. and abroad are experimenting with LSD, MDMA (“ecstasy”) and psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound in “magic mushrooms,” as treatments for, variously, tobacco addiction, cluster headaches, obsessive-compulsive disorder and suicidal thoughts — as well as anxiety and depression in people with end-stage cancer.

Other research is being conducted with the prescription sedative ketamine, known on the street as “Special K.”

Doctors are testing these drugs because effective treatments either don’t exist or simply don’t work for some patients. “It’s basically an unmet need in medicine,” says Dr. Pierre Blier, Canada Research Chair in Psychopharmacology at the University of Ottawa.

He’s been conducting pilot studies with ketamine which have so far proven successful with the severely depressed who might otherwise be subjected to electroconvulsive — or shock — treatments.

LSD and Ecstasy fight cancer anxiety and PTSD

Hallucinogenic drugs including LSD and Ecstasy are being used by doctors in tests to treat conditions including cancer anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Scientists are once again striving to prove that psychedelic drugs can be of medical benefit more than four decades after authorities clamped down on their use for both recreational and research purposes.

There are a handful of studies currently taking place across the U.S. with drugs like LSD, MDMA (Ecstasy) and psilocybin, the main ingredient of ‘magic mushrooms’.

While the research is still preliminary, early results from a New York University study suggest that participants are less fearful of death and have less general anxiety. They are also said to have greater acceptance of the dying process with no major side effect.

Magic Mushrooms ease Cancer Anxiety

A study from the Archives of General Psychiatry found benefits from the use of psilocybin in treating anxiety and depression common with stage 4 cancer.

Late-stage cancer patients given a moderate single dose of psilocybin were less anxious and significantly less depressed six months later, compared with patients given a placebo.

Ibogaine ends Addiction

I wrote previously how Ibogaine can cure addiction in individuals. This psychedelic plant has brought upon the creation of clinics in Canada, Europe, Mexico, and Latin America. It works however it is illegal in the United States. Charles Shaw, the author of Exile Nation, expounds on one of many gems from his book during his investigation into the healing powers of Ibogaine:

here’s how the miracle works. The conventional approach to treating opiate addiction is to employ a substitution therapy like methadone or suboxone, maintenance drugs that keep the addict addicted to a less potent, more manageable opiate analog. This means that the only available treatment does not actually stop the addiction. So what’s the point?

Ibogaine works, it is believed, by filling in the receptor sites that the opiate molecules once sought, ending the craving for the drug, while at the same time metabolizing in the liver into noribogaine, which is thought to have powerful detoxifying and anti-depressant properties. The million dollar jackpot is that ibogaine can eliminate the exceedingly painful and dangerous opiate withdrawal process, sometimes in a single dose. In effect, it has the power to hit the reset button on the brain’s neurotransmitter mechanism.
