   There ARE in fact clinical trials currently being conducted with Ibogaine, the active ingredient in the plant Iboga which comes from Africa (not Mexico), for the purpose of being used as a treatment for addiction. It’s amazing and not well-understood yet, but most certainly real, and quite promising.There are a few good documentaries on the subject; you can find them on Google Video.Someday, Ibogaine treatment will hopefully be conventional medicine right along all the others. It works.

   Hopefully is the key word. Don’t count on the FDA approving a Schedule I hallucinogen for use in addiction treatment. It may work wonders, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll ever see it in a clinical setting in the US, as unfortunate as that might be.

   If you’re going to mention Ibogaine at all, just tell people you don’t know anything about it and for them to research it themselves. It’s not good to spread misinformation about any of these subjects, especially when saving people from addiction is the goal.

   Agreed. Just because ibogaine isn’t available in the US doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. There are vested interests involved here. Pharmaceutical companies make a great deal of money from Suboxone and Methadone. Anything that only needs to be taken once or twice is going to have a hard time getting approved by the FDA.

   Hello Tyler, love the videos dude! Its awesome your helping people to understand how truly life saving this drug is.Ive been prescribed Subutex for 9 moths. Then, when everything seamed very stable with next to NO cravings, my doctor doubled my dosing.Do you think this could be normal, something everyone goes through and apart of the program/healing process.Ive had a hard time finding information on this specific topic. Thank you in advance and I will be looking foreword to your reply.

   Damn! 200 mg of methadone per day? That must have been hell on earth. How long did it take you before the withdrawals went away like a month?

   Doctors will tell you anything to make money for there mortgage, and if telling you suboxone has no withdrawls, then yeah… But its common sense, it DOES have withdrawals, maybe not as bad if you taper correctly, but its an opiate and its not an exception from the rule. Ibogaine = Ibo-crap
