Tabernanthe Iboga - A God Sent Miracle for those Addicted to Opiates

Today I learned of a plant that has been used medicinally for many thousand of years and one that I've never heard of before yesterday. The plant is called Tabernanthe Iboga and those who have used it speak of miracles. Right now there is a major epidemic that at the bare minimum is taking a choking hold within the United States and I can only imagine that this epidemic reaches far beyond these borders. ![Tabernanthe-iboga-3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNabemGAgGCfWSsfj4xznM1YT57Jkq9GimkGUra2uMuAV/Tabernanthe-iboga-3.jpg) I've been spending much of my time researching opiate addiction as someone very close to me has become one of it's victims. This person who has been struggling to escape it's powerful grip and deserves to be freed from this plague. He has a loving heart and soul and has been stripped of several of his young years like so many of our youth. Yesterday while trying to find and answer I happen to come across what many say serves as a reset button for the brain, returning it to it's original programming before any addiction ever set in. The experience is intense to say the least and it's not an easy process but, the end result is reported to be the same across the board, the deletion of addiction to all substances and a cure for anxiety and depression at the same time. I've not used iboga personally and I'm not a doctor so I am only sharing with you the research I've learned so far in an effort to enlighten you to a possible answer for yourself or someone you care for. As I understand Iboga allows you to see visions not in the same fashion that hallucinogenics do these takes you into a "walking dream" or lucid dream state during which you will experience intense feelings and visions that explain to you why you are addicted. Some describe intense feelings of electricity. The experience seems to last for many hours and most say it is not a pleasant during the experience. they also say that it seems to go on forever, extremely intense is often used to describe it. During the experience you will be confronted with and face your deepest concerns, ones you may not be so willing to do in daily life, you will face what you may suppress. After the experience people report similar experiences, there are reports of healing from addition, illness, depression, anxiety and many many more positive outcomes. There has been some science done to explain what is actually happening during the experience. In 2007 Iboga made it's way to the headlines like so many wonderful cures and treatments do but then as so many before it quickly disappeared never to be reported on again. Regarding addiction and as they mention in the video above it seems to reset switches that have been turned on to addictive substances and at the same time deletes the process of withdrawal from the drug. The Ibogaine Alkaloid is metabolized into an enzyme identified as Noribogaine and this seems to be the compound that has the ability to reset chemical switches in the brain that cause addiction. Iboga is Illegal in the United States but is legal in many other countries. in North America it is legal in both Canada and Mexico. Again I have no personal experience with this and I share this with you as a possible lead for you to research and with your own due diligence Thanks for reading and I hope this provides some hope if you or anyone anyone you care for is dealing with addiction.
