Episode 11 - Thomas Kingsley Brown - Results of Long Term Ibogaine Studies

"The opiates were stealing my life bit by bit," she confided. For years, she had been eating very little and her nutrition was abysmal, and in more recent years the opiates hadn't even provided relief from pain. But then, as she put it, "ibogaine gave my life back to me." She went on to tell me about the importance of the ongoing support and care she received at Clare's clinic and at another clinic in Mexico, and how she'd realized that what had happened after the ibogaine treatment was nearly as important as the treatment itself. This presentation is an overview of the MAPS-funded study of long-term outcomes for ibogaine-assisted treatment of opiate dependence for patients at two clinics in Baja California, Mexico. Beginning in September of 2010, the study enrolled thirty US residents seeking ibogaine treatment for opiate dependence at the clinics. Tom Kingsley Brown, PhD started his research on ibogaine treatment in November of 2009 when he conducted interviews with ibogaine patients at ibogaine clinics in northern Baja California, Mexico and collected data for the purpose of studying changes in Quality of Life for those patients.  The Ibogaine first person experience blog that was read can be found here: http://www.paijealexandra.com/prose/2016/5/2/the-world And to visit host Zach Leary's site please visit - www.zachleary.com
