I'm a physician so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for burnout that had become something closer to depression. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological wor...

Polydrug addiction finally addressed at its root

My addiction involved oxycodone, Xanax, and alcohol in various combinations at various points, often simultaneously. 6 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed f...
