Ibogaine Product

Safe and effective anti-addiction measure

Ibogaine has been described as an effective cure for addictions to heroin, morphine, methamphetamine, alcohol, tobacco, and even prescription drugs. While some see ibogaine as a magical cure, media attention has focused on the deaths caused by its use. Ibogaine and its use have been banned in many countries around the world. So… what is all the fuss really about? Is ibogaine a safe and effective anti-addiction measure or something that will kill you?

What is ibogaine?

Ibogaine is derived from the African Iboga plant, with natural psychoactive properties. For centuries it has been used by many African tribes – especially the Bwiti tribe and Pygmy communities – for both ritual and medicinal purposes. Although some say it's a recent discovery in the western world, ibogaine was originally discovered as having healing properties back in 1962. At least a century before that, it was marketed in France as a stimulant.

Uses Of Ibogaine Product

People take iboga for fever, influenza (the flu), swine flu, high blood pressure, drug abuse, HIV/AIDS, and nerve disorders. They also take it for preventing fatigue and drowsiness, for increasing sex drive, for fighting substance abuse and addictions, and as a general tonic.

How does it work?

Proponents believe that ibogaine helps cure drug addiction by stopping withdrawal symptoms immediately and reducing the body's cravings for narcotics. Also, during treatment, it seems to give the patient better insight and understanding about their reasons for relying on drugs.

This is experienced during a hallucinogenic episode, which can last for several days. For some patients, just one dose of ibogaine is required to get the desired result; others may need up to three doses. Although many countries are concerned that ibogaine could become a drug of abuse, most people who have taken the drug do not find the experience entirely pleasurable. Therefore, there are three stages of hallucinogenic treatment by ibogaine.

First stage – Abstinence

Those suffering from drug addiction are more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms first thing in the morning, so treatment is usually given next. Withdrawal symptoms usually go away within an hour of taking the drug, making it fast-acting. This is also known as the acute phase, and movement can induce vomiting, so the patient will normally try to lay down as much as possible. The acute stage can last four to eight hours, and the patient must have someone with them. Up to three-quarters of patients experience very vivid dreams or hallucinations during this time. This is a very intense experience, but when the eyes open, the hallucinations disappear.

Second stage – Evaluation

After the sleep stage, the patient will begin a period of between eight and 20 hours, during which they will become evaluative. This is often when the patient thinks about what happened during the acute phase, and those thoughts and experiences lead to introspection. This often enlightens the patient as to why the choices they made in the past were made or why specific actions were taken. This stage is said to have the most significant impact in ridding the patient of her addiction.

Third stage – Stimulation

This particular phase can last up to 72 hours or even longer. Most patients find this the unpleasant phase, as their body is exhausted, but they cannot sleep. Many patients need sleep medication to help them rest, but the mind is so stimulated it can be very difficult to initiate sleep. This inability to sleep can last for weeks or months, with many only getting as little as two hours of sleep a night.

Adverse effects of ibogaine

Aside from the inability to sleep, several side effects are associated with taking ibogaine. Often the first symptom is experiencing nausea and vomiting, which can continue for several hours. This can take a heavy toll on the body and lead to dehydration if not carefully controlled. The second most commonly experienced effect is ataxia, where muscle coordination is affected, making it very difficult to walk or even stand unaided.

Because ibogaine is illegal in many countries, it is difficult to get clear reports on the effects of taking ibogaine. Unfortunately, it is the associated deaths that are generally reported. This has already been estimated at 1 in 300, but the figures are not exact due to the clandestine nature of many of the ibogaine clinics. However, animal studies have been done to determine what adverse effects may occur.

Medical contraindications

If you suffer from pre-existing medical conditions, great care must be taken before undergoing ibogaine treatment due to the severe physical effect of this type of therapy. These conditions include, but are not limited to:

• heart problems or illness
• Epilepsy
• neurological disorders
• high blood pressure
• Crohn's disease
• kidney disease
• liver failure
• unstable diabetes
• psychiatric disorders

The pregnancy

Any clinic offering ibogaine treatment should have the medical team to deal with an emergency should it arise. Therefore, as well as monitoring the patient visually, it would help if you also had the following on hand:

First aid kit

• blood pressure monitor
• Oxygen monitoring equipment
• Cardiac monitoring equipment
• portable defibrillator
• oxygen supply

The legal side of ibogaine

It is illegal to possess or sell ibogaine in most countries, for example, in the USA, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden. Countries that allow ibogaine clinics to operate include Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, some countries in Europe, and South and Central America.

To take or not to take?

If you suffer from drug or alcohol addiction, many other treatment options are safer and regulated by an authority. However, if you want to try ibogaine, the choice is yours, but you may be restricted depending on where you live. Keep in mind that you may be better off traveling to another country where the clinics are legally operating rather than risking your life with a clandestine clinic that may not have the knowledge, training, and experience to keep up.
