Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."


Page Update: Did you konw that Silene capensis(also known as Silene undulata) also produces Ibogaine? along with harmala and harmaline, and related MAOI constituents also found in Banisteriopsis caapi vine?!


Nicknames: Iboga;


Classification: Grey area Ethnobotanical; (Barely legal); Psychedelic; Medicine used to treat drug addiction, PTSD, anxiety, and more;[?]


Precautions: It's important to note that substances can be harmful or beneficial depending upon the dosage administered. There's a medical rule known as the Arndt Schultz Law that states: Small doses stimulate, moderate doses inhibit, large doses kill.[37] While I do cite a source below that tells us that Ibogaine stimulates neuroplasticity in the brain(that's a good thing), large enough dosages of it can have a negative effect on the mind.[38] That's why it's important NOT to think of medicine as something that becomes more beneficial the more of it you consume. Dosage is a critical part of the practice of medicine, because it can mean the difference betweeen a substance behaving as a medicine, or a poison.[37] "Neurotoxic effects of ibogaine may not be directly relevant to its anti-addictive properties, as no signs of neurotoxicity were found following doses lower than 25 mg/kg intra-peritoneal in rats."[38] This study implies that when the dosage exceeds 25mg/kg, something that was once beneficial to the brain, becomes neurotoxic. Keep in mind, I cite another study below that claims that Ibogaine induces neuroplasticity.[31] Based on what I shared in this paragraph however, we can see that its benefits or detriments are solely dependant upon the dosage of the drug that's administered! Remember these facts, because they're a critical part of learning and practicing medicine!


Neuroplasticity: Studies show that Ibogaine, a phytochemical isolated out of the Iboga tree's bark, induces neuroplasticity in the brain![31] Here is a direct quote from that study: "Ibogaine is extracted from the root bark of a West African plant and has shown to have neuroplastic effects in the brain"[31] In case you're wondering, What is Neuroplasticity, PubMed defines it as: "Neural plasticity refers to the capacity of the nervous system to modify itself, functionally and structurally, in response to experience and injury."[32]


Iboga and Ibogaine's Anti-Addiction Properties: Academic research tells us that: "Ibogaine found in the Iboga plant(Tabernanthe iboga) is known to attenuate abstinence syndrome in animal models of drug addiction."[33] The source goes on to state that: "Since the anti-addiction effect lasts longer than the presence of Ibogaine in the body, some profound metabolic changes are expected."[33] By learning about the pharmacology of ethnobotanicals such as Iboga, and hundreds of other herbal supplements, Americans can essentially take their health back into their own hands. You can make use of the modern knowledge of phytochemistry to create your own tinctures, medicines, and become a self taught apothecary. More scientific research tells us that: "Ibogaine has been shown to modulate the dopaminergic system acutely and one day later."[34] The dopaminergic system: "The dopamine system is involved in the regulation of brain regions that subserve motor, cognitive, and motivational behaviors."[35] Does anyone else see a pattern emerging in regards to Iboga, and Kratom? Both Kratom and Iboga are used to treat addiction and replace addictive drugs with natural remedies that are far less addictive, and both are the target of prohibitions and big pharmaceutical operations.. This just illustrates my point again that the socialist take the real medicine away, and replace it with a tainted pharmaceutical version of the drug. Another scholarly source has this to say: "Studies in this laboratory have used animal models to characterize ibogaine's interactions with drugs of abuse, and to investigate the mechanisms responsible. Ibogaine, as well as its metabolite, noribogaine, can decrease both morphine and cocaine self-administration for several days in some rats;"[36] This means that the rats stopped using morphine and cocaine as much after being given Ibogaine. Combine that with the will to quit, and you got treatment.


Ibogaine For PTSD: "Ibogaine has primarily been studied with respect to its clinical efficacy in reducing substance addiction. There are, however, indications that it also may enhance recovery from traumatic experiences."[39] An academic source that I chose to cite on this subject, also tells us that: "Our results indicated that several cognitive domains improved either post-treatment or one-month post-ibogaine treatment, suggesting ibogaine’s therapeutic potential for cognition in the context of traumatic brain injury and mood disorders. Potential explanations include neuroplastic changes, reduction of PTSD and mood-related effects on cognitive functioning, and practice effects. No evidence of negative cognitive consequences of Ibogaine use, for up to one-month post-single-ibogaine treatment was found."[39] This is why people like using psychedelics in micro-doses for PTSD, because it doesn't produce a high that way, and yields psychological benefits.[40] In micro-dose form, there would be no toxcicity either.


Legality: 100% legal as long as you don't extract the Ibogaine out of it. We know it is legal because even after Bouncing Bear Botanicals was raided, he wasn't charged with posession of Ibogaine just for posessing Iboga bark and selling it, because it is treated the same as Morning glory seeds. Walmart sells Morning glory seeds that produce a controlled substance called LSA[13], however it is not illegal to own, or sell the seeds, nor is it illegal to grow the plant. The same rule applies to Iboga and Ibogaine, and the Bouncing Bear case proves it. Here is a link to Bouncing Bear's Iboga page on the Way Back Machine, that proves they were the last supplier of Iboga WITHIN the United States. You can still have the powdered Iboga bark shipped to the USA from GardenShaman.eu, and a number of other suppliers will ship iboga seeds to the US. Now is not the time to rely on suppliers, but rather to stock seeds and grow your own everything. Be prepared for the socialist to ban more ethnobotanicals and try to force their pharmakeia on everyone.


Plant Family: Apocynaceae;[1] Genus: Tabernanthe;[1] Species: T. iboga;[1]


Ethnobotany: OCCULT WARNING: Iboga was used by indigenous African Shamans(Witches) to practice necromancy, divination, and other occult practices listed in Deuteronomy 18 that all relate to an open third eye(pineal gland);[2] However, God did not invent Iboga for the enemy to use for his purpose. It states in Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything under the heavens, there is a time, a purpose, and a season." Iboga has spiritual and suprenatural implications, but can also be used in non-psychoactive ways as medicine, and studies confirm this.[3][4][5][6][7] Drugs in general, are versitile, and various dosages play a role in the substances pharmacological effects.[8] This is where the concept of "Micro dosing" came from.[9] Micro-dosing, is the idea that substances like Ibogaine can be utilized in small dosages that won't render the high but will still nudge the subjects neurochemistry in the right direction, thus enabling it to treat things such as depression, anxiety, etc.[9][10][11][12]


Big Pharmaceutical Interest: Here is a news story that illustrates how the socialist robbed America of its Iboga so they could turn it into a pill. UCSF.edu: Ibogaine Inspires New Treatments For Addiction And Depression I believe that local occult groups across the country are in posession of Bouncing Bear Botanical's Iboga bark, because there's evidence that they illegally raided Edens Ethnobotanicals(because the DEA baited me with some of the loot, 400kg worth, and then the local freemasons/odins/satanic temple in the Pensacola DEA, FBI, and SRCSO stole it while trying to pin it on me, so we know there are criminals in the government stealing drugs, and they're with the satanic temple, neo nazi's, and the freemasons, all occult and all into drugs.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] It looks like they're using seized(stolen) drugs to pimp illegal prostitutes with. Check out this CBS news story: CBS NEWS: DEA Agents Held Sex Parties Linked To Drug Cartels( more on 850.NEWS )


Less than ten years after the illegal raid on Bouncing Bear's business, and after they were sabotaged out of operation by being financially discriminated against, the serpent on the side of the ambulance finally decides to come out of the closet on its plans to release pharmaceuticals that are based off of the chemical Ibogaine, a miraculous drug addiction treatment substance produced by the Iboga plan. They will alter Ibogaine and turn it into a synthetic version of the drug, and the results will be really bad. This is why they defame God, and tell everyone his seed bearing herbs are "bad", so they can force you to buy a knock-off version of the drug from them. It makes them wealthy, and gives them power over you. Remember, I've found academic confirmation that it is not uncommon for there to be fluoride in pharmaceuticals[21], and we know that fluoride is linked to lower IQ levels.[22][23][24][25][26]


Natural Habitat: The Iboga plant is native to Africa;[1][2] Iboga produces a bright, vibrant colored fruit, that though edible, is not a pleasant tasting fruit. The bark is psychoactive due to the Ibogaine constituent, but not the fruit.[1][2]


Synergizes with: Tobacco; The Shamans figured out that Tobacco has an effect similar to Banisteriopsis cappi vine, being that it synergizes well with other psychoactives.[27] This would explain why drug users really enjoy lighting up a smoke after they use. Tobacco goes with other drugs like penutbutter goes with jelly on sandwhiches. Alternatively, the common MAOI plants that produce and contain harmala and Harmaline also amplify the effects of, and aid in the metaoblism and absorption of other substances, especially psychedelics and narcotics.[28][29] This is how the actual Ayahuasca brew works, by combinging plants that contain Harmala and Harmaline, the MAOI actions of those substances allow the DMT in the chacruna to absorb into the bloodstream and become active in the user![28][29][30]
