As people realize that opioid addiction is a crisis, ibogaine has been attracting more attention around the world. If you’ve been wondering what exactly ibogaine is, read on to learn why it’s a totally unique solution to addiction.
Ibogaine: the big pharma landscape
- Although pharmaceutical companies take a leading role in the drug addiction landscape, they actually offer few true solutions
- Pharmaceutical drug “treatments” are basically legal drug replacements and do not cure addiction
- Profitable maintenance medications ignore the underlying psychobiology of addiction and substitute one highly addictive substance for another
- Ibogaine is not a replacement addiction
The history of ibogaine
- Ibogaine occurs naturally in the wild in plants
- It is a psychoactive indole alkaloid that has traditionally been used by indigenous people in Western Africa
- Low doses don’t produce “drug trips,” but fight thirst, hunger, and fatigue
- Higher doses are used for coming of age and spiritual initiation ceremonies
- Ibogaine hydrochloride (ibogaine HCl) is the plant’s active ingredient
- Ibogaine HCl was first extracted in 1901
Traditional spiritual use of iboga and ibogaine
- Traditional spiritual iboga use includes ingesting large quantities of iboga root bark for a psychoactive effect
- Side-effects include “purging,” similar to Ayahuasca
- Ibogaine is one of many active compounds that can be found in the wild, which means results in non-clinical settings can be unpredictable
The clinical ibogaine treatment
- In a clinical setting, “ibogaine” means ibogaine HCl
- Ibogaine HCl actually interrupts addiction
- At Clear Sky Recovery, we use ibogaine HCl from a cGMP lab, that is 99.8 percent pure.
- Our protocols call for staggered doses of ibogaine
- The first dose is a higher “flood” dose
- Two additional ibogaine boosters ensure no withdrawal or craving remains
