The shared biology
One mechanism, many conditions
Neurodegenerative diseases differ in their targets: dopamine neurons in Parkinson's, myelin in multiple sclerosis, memory circuits in dementia, motor neurons in ALS. But they share a common biology: chronic neuroinflammation, the loss of neurotrophic support that keeps neurons alive, and a nervous system struggling to compensate for damage.
Ibogaine acts on exactly those shared pathways. It robustly upregulates GDNF (Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a protein central to neuronal survival and repair. It reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha and IL-6 that drive the neuroinflammatory cascade. And it dramatically increases neuroplasticity, the brain's capacity to form new pathways around areas of damage.
This is why one carefully supervised approach can be relevant across the neurodegenerative spectrum. It is complementary to conventional care, not a replacement for it, and it is grounded in mechanism rather than hype.

Neurodegenerative conditions
Our clinical honesty
What we do, and do not, promise
We do not claim to cure neurodegenerative disease. No ethical clinic can, and anyone who tells you otherwise should be treated with caution.
What we offer is a medically supervised, mechanism-based program that supports the biology of neural survival and repair. Some guests experience meaningful symptom relief and improved quality of life, and some do not. Every response is different, and we measure it honestly against your own baseline.
Our medical team will review your neurological history, disease stage, and medications and tell you candidly whether our program is appropriate for you. Clinical honesty is not a marketing line here. It is how we practice.
The protocol
An extended neuroregeneration program
Medical & cardiac screening
Before arrival, a thorough neurological and cardiac screening confirms whether the program is safe and appropriate for you.
Booster priming phase
Twice-daily ibogaine TA booster doses over consecutive days begin anti-inflammatory and neurotrophic priming before the primary session.
Primary supervised session
The main medically supervised session under continuous cardiac monitoring by our medical team.
Integration & aftercare
Structured integration and outcome measurement against your baseline, continuing after you go home.
Measured & safe
Recovery you can track. Safety you can trust.
Our proprietary data system measures your progress before, during, and after your stay, and monitors your safety at every step. The same data that keeps you safe is the data that proves it worked.
Validated instruments build your baseline before you travel.
Cardiac and vital monitoring around your session, read in real time.
Your progress re-scored against your baseline, in your portal.
Every MindScape treatment program includes a guided 5-MeO-DMT (Bufo) ceremony — part of the all-inclusive price, not an add-on.
Questions
Neurodegenerative treatment, answered
Precision dosing
Your main dose is measured, not estimated
Before the main session, we give a short series of low, sub-psychoactive ibogaine TA boosters. Each one is a measurement. Ibogaine and its long-lived metabolite noribogaine both affect the heart's hERG potassium channel, and that effect is dose-dependent, so instead of predicting how you will respond we observe it directly at doses far below a full session. Your main dose is then chosen from your own cardiac response and the margin you have left.
No ibogaine given. 12-lead ECG, electrolytes and liver panel establish the starting point. A baseline outside safe limits stops the programme here.
These are the measurements the protocol is built around. The trace above is a schematic used to explain the method; it is not a recording of a patient, and the values shown are illustrative rather than results.
