Elena,

Years ago, when my son was doing drugs, I discussed the idea of him going to a place in Belize that offered a treatment using Ibogaine, an hallucinogenic extract from a shrub that grows in Africa. He never did go and quit anyway. However, for some reason I decided to do a web search on Ibogaine this morning to see what the latest is on research. Here’s the link to a place in Mexico (it’s illegal in the US) that’s treating people for drug addiction and the psychological issues that often force people into self-medication with drugs. Here’s the link: http://ibogaineclinic.com/iboga/.

The website has many recent videos of people who’ve entered the program. If you’re interested, give it a look-see. Google Ibogaine and it will bring up lots of information on what this natural substance is and how it works. Good luck to you and your son. Hopefully, he’s willing to help himself.

One thing about any substance we become ” addicted to” and that includes ideas as well, is that they have their appeal because they focus the mind. Perhaps only on how the next ” fix” will be obtained, but a focus nevertheless. We all suffer when our minds are not focused on that which brings us satisfaction and joy, and so we ” naturally ” seek out something that will. There is an inner joy based on transcendental experiences that provides all we need, but our society doesn’t teach those means, and so we resort to chemical substances or other stimulants. It is our innate nature to experience the fact that we are spirit/souls, independent of our physical bodies, but since our experience doesn’t provide examples of that, we look to physically based ( temporal ) means . What we lack is our understanding of ourselves as spirit/souls, and as a part of All-That-Is, by whatever name you choose. And that is something that transcends our physical experience.

And, for what it’s worth…..been there…done that!nn1
