Howard Lotsof was a 19 year old heroin addict in 1962, completely by accident, he stumbled upon the cure to addiction.
This subject means a lot to me because I have seen what it does to people, and the benefits are far beyond what I can say in a video. I encourage EVERYONE to do even the smallest amount of research on Iboga, and Ibogaine HCL. It is amazing!Howard Lotsof was a 19 year old heroin addict in 1962, completely by accident, he... more

We're now in the midst of a worldwide renaissance in psychedelic research, after decades of political suppression. Scientists from around the world will present their new findings at the largest psychedelic conference to take place in the US in 17 years, on April 15-18, 2010, in San Jose, CA (http://www.maps.org/conference/ ). Even media reports, which usually mention in passing the widespread use of psychedelics by the counterculture in the 1960s, are more hopeful than alarming. In this talk, we'll review the factors which led to the backlash and the lessons to be learned, discuss how the FDA opened the door to research around the world, how the ghost of Timothy Leary was buried at Harvard, and how Burning Man struggles to respond to people who have difficult psychedelic experiences. We'll conclude by explaining how non-profit drug development, initially of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can transform psychedelics into FDA-approved prescription medicines and can lay the groundwork for the successful, long-term integration of psychedelics into the mainstream of medicine, religion, art, creativity, and celebration.
Rick founded MAPS in 1986. His dissertation [http://www.maps.org/dissertation/] (Public Policy, Harvards Kennedy School of Government) was on "The Regulation of the Medical Use of Psychedelics and Marijuana," and his masters thesis [http://www.maps.org/docs/doblin-mt.html] (Harvard) focused on the attitudes and experiences of oncologists concerning the medical use of marijuana. His undergraduate thesis [http://www.maps.org/research/cluster/psilo-lsd/goodfriday.pdf] (New College of Florida) was a twenty-five year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment [http://www.maps.org/books/pahnke/index.html], which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He has also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Tim Learys Concord Prison experiment [http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v09n4/09410con.html].We're now in the midst of a worldwide renaissance in psychedelic research, after... more

Mind-altering psychedelics, or hallucinogens, are back in the research labs, where their therapeutic applications -- rather than the illegal use -- are being explored. Studies are looking at psychedelics to treat a number of otherwise intractable psychiatric disorders, including chronic depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and drug or alcohol dependency.
The past 15 years have seen a quiet resurgence of psychedelic drug research as scientists have come to recognize the long-underappreciated potential of these drugs. In the past few years, a growing number of studies using human volunteers have begun to explore the possible therapeutic benefits of drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, ibogaine and ketamine......

I for one have experienced the healing and awaking of a good experiment into the brain via the helping hand of a psychedelic. Our society has been putting great tools on the back burner and keeping us from the truly healing potions that have been used for thousands of years.
Have you had a healing experince?
Why are some substances "drugs" while others are "medications?"Mind-altering psychedelics, or hallucinogens, are back in the research labs, where... more

Ibogaine is derived from the root bark of Tabernanthe iboga, an African shrub that has an ancient tradition of ritualistic use by indigenous peoples. It causes drawn out, spiritual Hallucinations.

Researchers are working on a vaccine that could stop the effects of narcotics, like cocaine, from having an effect on the patient. Human trials for the nicotine and cocaine vaccines are already well under way and have yielded good results. The National Institute for Drug Abuse in the U.S. has put $15 million toward research.

Hello,
My first CURRENT TV commission... so I thought I'd share the joy with you as it unfolds.
A few years ago, I read a story of how an African natural root bark used for psychoactive rituals, had an unexpected side effect in that it helped with Heroin withdrawal, amongst other addictions. The ability of Ibogaine to interrupt chemical dependence was first noted in the West by Howard Lotsof, who for 30 years battled to bring the drug to public attention.
Being classed as an unlicensed, experimental medication here in the UK, I looked to Holland for more information, and found Sara Glatt - self proclaimed 'Iboga Mother'. Sara is a single mum of five kids, and has an open house to a variety of addicts, with many people travelling from all over the world to be cured of their particular addiction.
The side affects can be severe, with vomiting and nausea, but through an intense emotional journey, many people claim to have kicked their habits.
I travel to Holland next week, where we'll see the process through characters undergoing the treatment... pop back and see what unfolds.
Will be posting pictures... No vomit I promise.
You can see that when the pod's finished.
Wish us luck.Hello,
