However, what most of us haven't been told is that there exists a drug which has successfully helped people to give up many kinds of addictions, including heroin and cocaine, within 48 hours and with minimal withdrawal symptoms. Ibogaine has about a seventy percent success rate in alleviating substance abuse of all kinds, even cross-addictions, from nicotine, to heroin, to alcohol, to cocaine and meth.
Ibogaine is an alkaloid derived from the root of the African plant tabernanthe iboga.
Ibogaine-containing preparations are used in medicinal and ritual purposes within African spiritual traditions of the Bwiti, who claim to have learned it from the Pygmy peoples.
Ibogaine Treatment
Ibogaine's principle use is its facilitation of a painless detox period for drug addicts. The drug has also been recognized for its removal of the effects of conditioning in addicts and its promotion of long-term drug abstinence. While ibogaine may represent a major medical breakthrough, there is an inherent level of risk with ibogaine treatment. Ingesting too much of the substance, being excessively thin, or suffering from liver or heart problems are dangers associated with this type of treatment. Subjects have reported experiencing muscle tremors, spasms, and feelings of internal energy shifts.
Any treatment provided by an experienced and knowledgeable ibogaine therapist will include a medical and psychiatric review for the patient's safety.
Prerequisites
Generally good health
No past psychotic breaks

No serious liver problems
How long is treatment session?
The effect of ibogaine last between 15 and 36 hours, depending on the dose and the individual metabolism. A longtime addict should allow her-/himself a convalescent period of one to three days after the 2 days dedicated to ibogaine. Methadone users should allow themselves at least a week.
Does it hurt?
Depending on the duration of the addiction and the substance of abuse there can be some withdrawal signs, ranging from 0 to 15%
of what the person would have to suffer without medication. These pains can be well managed with adequate analgesics.
Former addicts may experience some insomnia after the treatment for up to 3 weeks, which is responsive to sleeping medication.
Medication
We do not use an extract, root-bark or other mixtures of substances, but ibogaine-hydrochloride of the best quality. During the treatment it might be necessary or helpful to resort to other medications, chiropractic or acupuncture. To restore the patient to good health the use of nutritional supplements employed after the treatment.
Number of Treatments
Most often once is enough. However a certain percentage of persons greatly benefit from a second session.
Craving
Ibgoaine breaks down in the liver into a substance called Nor-ibogaine. Nor-ibogaine continues to be active on the opiate receptors for several weeks to several months after a single dose. Clinical research has shown that Nor-ibogaine reduces drug cravings, creating a window of time to learn the skills necessary to remain clean from drugs.
