Iboga

[Guest guest]

Dear Robyn and ,

I have done some background on this herb - African, shamanic, thought to work on

the addictive centre of the brain via dream like rite of initiation - most

research has focussed on the drug " ibogaine " which has somewhat different action

from the whole plant - Surprise surprise!! Also the traditional use is within

the context of a very supportive setting and highly ritualised, both of which

are absent in western research settings... research license required for legal

purchase in the US and I believe here, but available over the internet. I think

Gateway in London may have done a trial with it but not sure. One of my medical

students did his disertation on it which he agreed could be shared with a drug

clinic co-ordinator friend of mine, need to finish reading it myself first and

then double check with him about further sharing. Alan attended a

conference in London about it a few years ago, will try and jog him into sending

some info.

Lots of love
