	Ibogaine Detox and Treatment
		Since ibogaine aides in the cessation of addiction, it started to be used to deal with opiates and other substance addictions.
		At therapeutic doses, ibogaine has an active window of 24 to 48 hours, is often physically and mentally exhausting and produces ataxia for as long as twelve hours.5 Nausea that may lead to vomiting is not uncommon throughout the experience.
		Ibogaine enables the patient to focus on the underlying causes of addiction without going through the intense withdrawal symptoms that accompany most types of detoxification.

		Ibogaine is a psychoactive indole alkaloid derived from the rootbark of an African plant - Tabernanthe iboga.
		Both scientific studies and widespread anecdotal reports appear to suggest that a single administration of ibogaine has the ability to both remove the symptoms of drug withdrawal and reduce drug-craving for a period of time after administration.
		Ibogaine's current legal status in the UK, and much of the rest of the world, is that of an unlicensed, experimental medication, and it not therefore an offence to possess the drug, though to act as a distributor may be breaking the law.

	The Ibogaine Dossier. Sacred African Plant found Effective in Treating Addiction
		Ibogaine research then moved to the United States where its complete chemical identification was the result of research by W. Taylor of the Ciba pharmaceutical company.
		The research into understanding how Ibogaine worked and exactly what it did was performed by researchers under the direction of the Ciba scientist Jurg Schneider who went on to become the President of Dupont's Biochemicals division.
		In the early 1980s Lotsof decided Ibogaine's effect of interrupting drug addiction was too important not to be made available and began the journey by which he dedicated his life to bringing relief to addicts.

	MAPS - Volume 5 Number 3 Winter 1994-95 - ibogaine in the treatment of chemical dependence disorders
		Ibogaine is not a substitute for narcotics or stimulants, is not addicting and is given in a single administration modality (SAM).
		Ibogaine's effects on dopamine and the dopamine system (dopamine is a substance hypothesized to be responsible for reinforcing pleasurable effects of drugs of abuse) were found by Maisonneuve et al.
		The advantage of Ibogaine is that it allows patients time periods free of craving during which the psychiatrist, social worker, therapist, paraclinician and the patient often bond into a cohesive working group to ac-complish a state of long-term non-dependence by the patient to the drug(s) of abuse for which the patient is under treatment.

	I Begin Again, Ibogaine Treatment Center: How Ibogaine Works
		Ibogaine and its studies have had a renewed interest in the past decades due to the interest in effects that ibogaine has on cessation of drug addiction.
		Ibogaine is also thought to reduce addiction because it can inhibit naloxone which will precipitate the blockade of NMDA channels.
		Ibogaine was also found to lower the self-administration of morphine and alcohol.

	What is Ibogaine
		Ibogaine is a naturally occurring medication obtained from the root bark of the shrub Tabernanthe iboga.
		Ibogaine displays anti-addictive properties, interrupting the symptoms of the drug withdrawal syndrome and reducing drug craving for extended periods of time -- allowing an addict to detoxify with minimal symptoms.
		Ibogaine is non-addictive, although it interacts with the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain that are related to addiction.

	Conference on Ibogaine, NYU School of Medicine, Nov. 5-6, 1999.
		Ibogaine does not appear to be a conventional dopamine or opioid agonist or antagonist, or an amine re-uptake inhibitor and is not a substitution therapy, such as methadone (Glick and Maisonneuve, 1998; Popik et al., 1995; Popik and Glick, 1996; Popik and Skolnick, 1999).
		Ibogaine effects are relatively more evident in animals with prior exposure to amphetamine (Blackburn and Szumlinski, 1997) or morphine (Pearl et al., 1995; Pearl et al., 1996), which is also consistent with an effect of ibogaine on neuroadaptations acquired from drug exposure.
		Ibogaine is particularly unattractive, because its mechanism of action is complex and incompletely understood, and its patent is close to expiration.

	IBOGAINE II: DOWN MEMORY LANE
		Ibogaine is derived from the roots of Tabernanthe iboga, a shrub native to equatorial Africa, where tribes have long used it in small doses to remain alert while hunting and in larger amounts during sacred rituals.
		"Ibogaine was used as a rite of passage in Africa," says Lee Hearn, laboratory director of the Metro-Dade Medical Examiner's Department and a member of Mash's team.
		Anecdotal reports indicate that while on ibogaine, he or she is detached from childhood recollection, but is reexamining, coming to grips with it, perhaps understanding it for the first time.

	Ibogaine Summary
		Ibogaine is an indole alkaloid, a strong hallucinogen which has gained attention due to its application in the treatment of opioid addiction and similar addiction syndromes.
		Proponents of ibogaine treatment for drug addiction have established formal and informal clinics or self-help groups in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, France, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa, the United Kingdom and New Zealand where ibogaine is administered as an experimental drug.
		Although the full nature of Ibogaine is still emerging, it appears that the most effective treatment paradigm involves visionary doses of ibogaine of 10 to 20 mg/kg, producing an interruption of opiate withdrawal and craving, followed by intensive counseling and therapy during the interruption period.

	Medical Information : Ibogaine
		Ibogaine is a slightly psychoactive indole alkaloid derived from the Tabernathe iboga plant native to Central Africa.
		In the West, Ibogaine is usually administered in the form of the hydrochloride - a fine off-white powder either synthesized or chemically extracted from the root bark in a laboratory.
		Ibogaine is not itself addictive, and may thus be administered in monthly or similar doses over a period of time to help preserve a drug-free state.

	Chapter 9 Inhibitory effects of ibogaine on cocaine self-administration in rats
		Ibogaine, an indole alkaloid found in the root bark of the African shrub Tabernanthe iboga, has been used in Gabon (West Central Africa) in low doses as a stimulant (combat fatigue, hunger and thirst) and in high doses for its hallucinogenic properties (religious rituals).
		Ibogaine is also claimed to interrupt cocaine and amphetamine abuse and it was suggested that series of four treatments may be effective for several years (Lotsof, 1986).
		Although the mechanism of action of ibogaine remains to be established, the present results suggest the presence of an anti-addictive and long-lasting metabolite(s) of ibogaine or its irreversible/longlasting derangement of an addictive mechanism in cocaine-dependent animals.

	MindVox : Ibogaine : Anti-Addiction Drug in Limbo
		Ibogaine was purified from the root bark around the turn of the century, and low doses were sold in France from 1939 to 1970 as a tonic for fatigue and depression.
		The latest news on ibogaine comes from a clinic on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, where the drug is being used with addicts who weren't helped by conventional treatment.
		Ibogaine also shows effectiveness against withdrawal and craving with alcohol dependence, with less evidence for help in kicking crack cocaine and no sign of an effect on smoking, she said.

	HIV+ Prevention Report
		For years, advocates have pushed for clinical trials to prove ibogaine's benefits but instead have encountered public hysteria and opposition to using "psychedelic gateway" drugs in any way.
		Die-hard ibogaine fans feel confident that planned human, clinical trials of the root bark will begin soon in ex-Soviet bloc nations, where heroin addiction is rising fast.
		Having tapped out $3,000 on the fl market for her first ibogaine ride, Amy says, "If I could have been treated four to six months after, it would have been great." Instead, ibogaine's effects have worn off, and she's still battling her addiction today.

	Ibogaine \| Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Behavior
		In the early 1900s, some medical researchers in France recommended ibogaine for use in treating neurasthenia and asthenia (syndromes that would probably be diagnosed in the 1990s as depression or fatigue syndrome).
		Although the drug was part of a proprietary medication marketed in Europe in the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s, ibogaine attracted little medical or scientific attention until the emergence of interest in indole alkaloids that accompanied the use of reserpine in the 1950s.
		He subsequently remained drug free, completed law school, eventually obtained a patent on the use of ibogaine for the treatment of addiction (brand name ENDABUSE), and became active in seeking funding to further develop the drug and to obtain FDA approval for its medical use in treatment of addiction.

		Current ibogaine therapists and researchers understand that while ibogaine is an effective detoxification tool for reducing withdrawal and is useful in addiction therapy, it is not a “cure” and works best in conjunction with well-defined therapeutic goals, adequate preparation, proper monitoring during the experience and integration into existing treatment options for aftercare.
		Ibogaine is a very potent psychoactive that used in an appropriate context of specific therapeutic intention and in a safe setting may provide an experience that can be very healing and cathartic on many levels.
		Ibogaine facilitates a sort of visionary waking dream experience that provides a conscious ‘mirror’ of the deeper levels of the psyche and may facilitate an awareness of the unconscious or subconscious processes that may be blocking ones’ personal development.
