The development of the neurosciences has been accelerated in the last 20 years. With the emergence of imaging technology and functional images such as brain mapping or functional MRI, we have a better understanding of active regions in our brain in different circumstances and we can explain better different brain diseases and better techniques and medications have been developed to treat them.
Chemical and non-chemical addictions are common in all populations indifferent ethnicity, sex, social status etc. And their understanding has been complex while their treatment queite elusive .. In most cultures the causes of addiction are unknown and are attributed rather to a "moral evil", so that therapeutic models respond to that design and offer options ineffective causing great despair and frustration in addicted patients and relatives.
Paradoxically, research on brain mechanisms of addiction and other neuropsychiatric disorders has led to a better understanding of how our brain works and this has led to a more human and sympathetic treatment of those affected.
With over 15 years of research and hundreds of patients successfully treated we have seen that the alkaloid IBOGAINE is an extraordinary therapeutic tool by allowing painless detoxification and relief "craving" (desire of consumption) in patients addicted to substances that otherwise need to endure tremendous suffering in their eagerness to be free of these conditions. Neuropharmacology Ibogaine is complex and is still being studied, but definitely its correct use produce successful results in most patients. We know they are multi-causal diseases that affects not just a person but better a group, which makes them more difficult to treat. They are chronic conditions because infiltrate the long-term memory, and put apart what is useful and what is not is impossible for now, but these diseases can go into remission as other chronic diseases.
Our therapeutic experience and first-hand IBOGAINE, having used it for experimental and research purposes multiple times allows us to be sure we have one of the best answers until now and we want to share this hope with all people who daily suffer from these ailments.
During ibogaine therapy patients have reported a dose-dependent experience of dreamike states, except that they are awake and can respond to questions. Soon after administration, the patient:
1) first experiences a loud humming or oscillatory sound, changes in visual perception and signs of ataxia when trying to walk;
2) Within 1 to 2 hours this auditiory experience ends and images may appear, especially after eyes are closed. The patient then notices a rapid visual presentation of various images, sometimes specifically reviewing traumatic events or circumstances from their childhood and/or life of addiction for a long period (3 to 8 hours). Distortions of time perception by the patient are also reported, in which the dream experience is perceived to take less much less time.
3) Following the sudden end of dream stage (3 to 9 hours post adminstration), a period of intensive reevaluation of previous life experiences can take place. The stimulant or opiate- addicted patient may then sleep for long periods, and awaken without characteristic withdrawal symptoms.
4) Long term effects of the ibogaine treatment include a reduction in the need for sleep to 3-4 hours per night for up to a month or more and the elimination or amelioration of the craving and desire to do drugs.
This is a general description of the ibogaine experience and many variations in the length, occurrence or quality of stages are often observed.

I couldn't thank you enough if I lived a thousand years Doctor! This is Tito from the testimonial video just wanted to say I am doing great thanks to Ibogaine and the help of the good doctor. I also won my honor society's regional president elections and going on to do amazing things in my community, state, and life in general. For those still suffering out there... I know it's tough, I know you probably have little hope left or none at all that this or anything could possible give you the chance at a normal life back, but please give it a shot. A lot of us have nothing left to lose and an entire life to gain
