"I received a flood dose of ibogaine, and saw visions, heard buzzing, purged, and awoke with a new energy and a peacefulness I’ve never had... I left treatment free of anxiety, fear and depression. Waking up feels so good, I never knew I could feel so naturally happy."

If you are questioning the effectiveness of and considering the use of Ibogaine, my advice is go for it."

Source"For the past 3 years my life has revolved around snorting fentanyl... But when tripping on the Ibogaine, I had these voices inside me... And when I woke, there was a sense of complete separation from the emotions not allowing me to love again. I felt love for myself, I felt acceptance from my past, and it was without a doubt the most profound spiritual experience of my life."
