But you can have addicts coming from good families in the true sense (although I am sure you would have to define what is meant by good) So lets just say for argument both parents are present and the child grows up realising that they are loved by both parents unconditionally and both parents love each other. All that needs to happen is for some one from that family to go through certain experiences to create or bring out an addictive type behaviour. To give an example they took twins and separated them for the day. One started the day listening to upbeat music the other sentimental. Then they each watched a separate movie. The one was a sad and sentimental and the other a comedy. They then sent them shopping to see how they would behave and the differences were obvious. The one who received the upbeat music and saw a comedy enjoyed her self and bought some thing she normally would not so she became a bit more inspired and adventurous. The other bought nothing. To me it just shows how you can take any person and expose them to a set of experiences and these experiences can have an affect on that persons life. So you can have a person from a loving home who has a bad day or even not, but for some reason the addictive personality starts and has nothing to do with where you are from or what your background is. The only thing I can say in defence of the loving family situation that they may have possibly spent time educating the child on how to avoid developing destructive behaviour patterns. ----- Original Message ----From: Luke Christoffersen < luke.christoffersen at gmail.com>To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Wednesday, 26 September, 2007 9:13:13 PM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] The War on Consciousness , Marc EmeryHi Simon, There's one thing I've noticed about the strangeness of addicts or other messed up people coming from so called 'good homes'. People/Parents often don't behave the same way when other people are around than they do when children are at home when there's no one to see what the dynamic is really like. I've seen it in my own life and in things I've heard from others. What my look like a happy home from the outside could be miserable and lonely for the child. Then when people grow up they can't remember it, don't know there was anything wrong. Most people bury the memories Often I think the idea of a traumatic childhood is thought of as someone who was sexually abused or other of the extreme ends of this area but years of little things like being criticized or not being allowed to express oneself build up to cause terrible lifelong damage. I think there's many things that take place in 'good' homes that destroy the child from being the person he or she needs to be allowed to be. I didn't come from a broken home or poor home or anything like that, there was a lot of enjoyment in my childhood too, but I still grew to be miserable and twisted and suffering with self hatred because of negativity during my early life but once I'd grown up I had long forgotten and and no idea understanding of what was wrong inside me even though the hurt was still inside me.

This one and Howard's were both blank. But if you google that plant name that Howard sent you will find that it contains some iboga alkaloids, unfortunately however it does not contain ibogaine from what I saw anyway. This post reminded me of Ron/Grasshopper who used to post blank messages every once in awhile, to keep us on our toes I guess. Wonder whatever happened to him.

Maybe I'm being cynical, I've just seen and heard so much of the way people can be ignorant towards children without being aware of the damage they can do. I hope there are, I guess there must be. I still think that there's mostly likely some painful trauma in the addicts background. Maybe if the parents are loving someone might be abused by an outsider, babysitter, relation, priest, teacher. Such things happen, as say here, no matter what. People are abused, its not always the parents, yadda yaddaa.... I remember reading about a local man who killed himself because he was abused by a local man, his other brother was picketing the abusers place as he was abused too. Never heard what became of him. There are probably other things that happen in circumstances that aren't the parents fault but will still cause a child damage. It's hard to know what could happen to cause problems. Let me interject here also biological factors, that we don't blame anyone for, because they are more concrete and "explainable". Things like, Autism, mental retardation, serious emotional problems.....the list goes on. I recall reading that Arthur Janov said that people having traumatic births has being more susceptible to addictions later because they have heavy pain imprint at such a crucial stage it makes other pains seem more extreem. All the way down to birth. But what if, we actually choose our destiny before birth? Chose to live THIS life with I believe environmental influence. Thats where I'm at, but why is the unanswerable for me. I'm just starting to learn that every experience is worth just as much weight as the previous one. I had traumatic birth but I know my mother did too but she wasn't ever addicted to anything. I could see where it caused a lot of problems though. Luke On 9/27/07, simon loxton wrote: HI Luke, So what you are saying is that some families only look like good families only from an outsiders point of view and I agree with this. But you can have addicts coming from good families in the true sense (although I am sure you would have to define what is meant by good) So lets just say for argument both parents are present and the child grows up realising that they are loved by both parents unconditionally and both parents love each other. All that needs to happen is for some one from that family to go through certain experiences to create or bring out an addictive type behaviour. To give an example they took twins and separated them for the day. One started the day listening to upbeat music the other sentimental. Then they each watched a separate movie. The one was a sad and sentimental and the other a comedy. They then sent them shopping to see how they would behave and the differences were obvious. The one who received the upbeat music and saw a comedy enjoyed her self and bought some thing she normally would not so she became a bit more inspired and adventurous. The other bought nothing. To me it just shows how you can take any person and expose them to a set of experiences and these experiences can have an affect on that persons life. So you can have a person from a loving home who has a bad day or even not, but for some reason the addictive personality starts and has nothing to do with where you are from or what your background is. The only thing I can say in defence of the loving family situation that they may have possibly spent time educating the child on how to avoid developing destructive behaviour patterns. ----- Original Message ---- From: Luke Christoffersen < luke.christoffersen at gmail.com > To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Wednesday, 26 September, 2007 9:13:13 PM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] The War on Consciousness , Marc Emery Hi Simon, There's one thing I've noticed about the strangeness of addicts or other messed up people coming from so called 'good homes'. People/Parents often don't behave the same way when other people are around than they do when children are at home when there's no one to see what the dynamic is really like. I've seen it in my own life and in things I've heard from others. What my look like a happy home from the outside could be miserable and lonely for the child. Then when people grow up they can't remember it, don't know there was anything wrong. Most people bury the memories Often I think the idea of a traumatic childhood is thought of as someone who was sexually abused or other of the extreme ends of this area but years of little things like being criticized or not being allowed to express oneself build up to cause terrible lifelong damage. I think there's many things that take place in 'good' homes that destroy the child from being the person he or she needs to be allowed to be. I didn't come from a broken home or poor home or anything like that, there was a lot of enjoyment in my childhood too, but I still grew to be miserable and twisted and suffering with self hatred because of negativity during my early life but once I'd grown up I had long forgotten and and no idea understanding of what was wrong inside me even though the hurt was still inside me. Drink and drugs allowe d me to free myself for a time.

Then there are the addicts that are very motivated and good in business you just don't hear about the last two because they manage to keep things covered up quite well and have the finances to keep them out of trouble and out of the public eye. As an example, the guy who I developed a habit with was a Dutch school teacher, he still had a good relationship with his family and had a "normal" life other than the fact that he was addicted to heroin. _____ 24 FIFA World Cup tickets to be won with Yahoo!

Maybe I'm being cynical, I've just seen and heard so much of the way people can be ignorant towards children without being aware of the damage they can do. I hope there are, I guess there must be. I still think that there's mostly likely some painful trauma in the addicts background. Maybe if the parents are loving someone might be abused by an outsider, babysitter, relation, priest, teacher. Such things happen, as say here, no matter what. People are abused, its not always the parents, yadda yaddaa.... I remember reading about a local man who killed himself because he was abused by a local man, his other brother was picketing the abusers place as he was abused too. Never heard what became of him. There are probably other things that happen in circumstances that aren't the parents fault but will still cause a child damage. It's hard to know what could happen to cause problems. Let me interject here also biological factors, that we don't blame anyone for, because they are more concrete and "explainable". Things like, Autism, mental retardation, serious emotional problems.....the list goes on. I recall reading that Arthur Janov said that people having traumatic births has being more susceptible to addictions later because they have heavy pain imprint at such a crucial stage it makes other pains seem more extreem. All the way down to birth. But what if, we actually choose our destiny before birth? Chose to live THIS life with I believe environmental influence. Thats where I'm at, but why is the unanswerable for me. I'm just starting to learn that every experience is worth just as much weight as the previous one. I had traumatic birth but I know my mother did too but she wasn't ever addicted to anything. I could see where it caused a lot of problems though. Luke On 9/27/07, simon loxton wrote: HI Luke, So what you are saying is that some families only look like good families only from an outsiders point of view and I agree with this. But you can have addicts coming from good families in the true sense (although I am sure you would have to define what is meant by good) So lets just say for argument both parents are present and the child grows up realising that they are loved by both parents unconditionally and both parents love each other. All that needs to happen is for some one from that family to go through certain experiences to create or bring out an addictive type behaviour. To give an example they took twins and separated them for the day. One started the day listening to upbeat music the other sentimental. Then they each watched a separate movie. The one was a sad and sentimental and the other a comedy. They then sent them shopping to see how they would behave and the differences were obvious. The one who received the upbeat music and saw a comedy enjoyed her self and bought some thing she normally would not so she became a bit more inspired and adventurous. The other bought nothing. To me it just shows how you can take any person and expose them to a set of experiences and these experiences can have an affect on that persons life. So you can have a person from a loving home who has a bad day or even not, but for some reason the addictive personality starts and has nothing to do with where you are from or what your background is. The only thing I can say in defence of the loving family situation that they may have possibly spent time educating the child on how to avoid developing destructive behaviour patterns. ----- Original Message ---- From: Luke Christoffersen < luke.christoffersen at gmail.com> To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Wednesday, 26 September, 2007 9:13:13 PM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] The War on Consciousness , Marc Emery Hi Simon, There's one thing I've noticed about the strangeness of addicts or other messed up people coming from so called 'good homes'. People/Parents often don't behave the same way when other people are around than they do when children are at home when there's no one to see what the dynamic is really like. I've seen it in my own life and in things I've heard from others. What my look like a happy home from the outside could be miserable and lonely for the child. Then when people grow up they can't remember it, don't know there was anything wrong. Most people bury the memories Often I think the idea of a traumatic childhood is thought of as someone who was sexually abused or other of the extreme ends of this area but years of little things like being criticized or not being allowed to express oneself build up to cause terrible lifelong damage. I think there's many things that take place in 'good' homes that destroy the child from being the person he or she needs to be allowed to be. I didn't come from a broken home or poor home or anything like that, there was a lot of enjoyment in my childhood too, but I still grew to be miserable and twisted and suffering with self hatred because of negativity during my early life but once I'd grown up I had long forgotten and and no idea understanding of what was wrong inside me even though the hurt was still inside me. Drink and drugs allowe d me to free myself for a time. Luke On 9/23/07, simon loxton wrote: This maybe true, but being an addict or ex addict I have had plenty of friends who came from very good homes. Then there are the addicts that are very motivated and good in business you just don't hear about the last two because they manage to keep things covered up quite well and have the finances to keep them out of trouble and out of the public eye. As an example, the guy who I developed a habit with was a Dutch school teacher, he still had a good relationship with his family and had a "normal" life other than the fact that he was addicted to heroin. 24 FIFA World Cup tickets to be won with Yahoo!

Dana, I'm rather disappointed in the negativity of your response. I'm sorry that many of your friends died when you were in ACT UP. But do you KNOW that they were doing LDN as described and it didn't help? I doubt it. So your statement "If there was something to it, about 300 people from ACT UP wouldn't have died while I was going to their meetings." is meaningless beyond being an expression of your pain about all those people dying. Yes, I agree that ibogaine is great stuff. Too bad I have to pay over $2000 a dose if I get lucky enough to find all the hoops that need to be jumped thru to make even that happen. It feels to me that the ibogaine "treatment community" is financially exploiting the pain and desperation of addicts in many cases. I've had experience with ibogaine and it does have some useful effects. I wish I could get more. But it's not some kind of miracle cure with paranormal powers to forever cure whatever ails you and make the rest of your life all peaches and cream after just 1 or 2 treatments. Too bad I had to spend all my savings for 1 dose, the effects of which soon wore off. LDN can be had in the US without a prescription for less than $1/day. To put it mildly, I'm no fan of the pharmaceutical industry or the FDA. This implication that I'm trying to promote DuPont is just ignorant crap on your part. Naltrexone is off patent, available as a generic. And no, the pharmaceutical industry does not have the "resources" to promote LDN. LDN is an unapproved use for naltrexone, and for a pharmaceutical company to promote it is a violation of the law that the FDA would immediately and vigorously prosecute. Being off-patent, no pharmco is going to spend the $100M+ to get FDA approval. The promotion of LDN is a grass roots effort. I would have thought that of all people, someone like yourself would appreciate that. Lastly, I was hoping that some folks might get the point that LDN might increase endorphin levels even in those who do not have cancer, MS etc. Many people become addicts by self medicating chronic suffering due to a constitutionally low endorphin tone. Considering the appalling cost and lack of availability of Iboga, LDN could be a useful option for some people - not for addiction interruption, but to help to live straight more comfortably - by improving the underlying problem that led to addiction in the first place. Ulrich Dana Beal wrote: I don't know. They already had something like this for AIDS when I was in ACT UP. If there was something to it, about 300 people from ACT UP wouldn't have died while I was going to their meetings. That was before the anti-retrovirals. Anyway, I was under the impression Ilah was on methadone the whole time, although I heard at her funeral that she had weaned herself off before her most recent illness. I think the effects we're seeing on hepatitis with ibogaine are a lot more dramatic-- a lot more like the one treatment or several having a really dramatic effect on addiction-- than any maintenance type approach that you seem to be advocating here with trexan. I think ibogaine should be available as a primary treatment for hepatitis C and prophylaxis against development of liver cancer that often results from hep C. I keep trying to get people to try it instead of interferon, which often doesn't work, but wreaks havoc on the body. Trexan is a Dupont product I believe. I think they have all the resources they need to promote it without your assistance.

I took a minute I was going to use researching the ibogaine issues and did a good bit of looking into using Naltrexone in the novel way.Funny thing is that today I also had called a University Study doing work with addicts and (Its paid too)they are using medication for Meth withdrawal and maintenance. I had thoughts of LDn in my brain while asking about their program and accidentally made a brain connection that went beyond my learniing. I asked if it was Naltrexone, the meds they were going to use!! Then I realized what I had done. They are going to use Dexi's and placebos. I commented to the researcher that their study was doomed (laughing but serious) because anyone who gets a placebo is going to go to sleep and never return for the rest. Oh, I am Xristine and have come for knowledge. I have addicts on the left, right and middle if you know what I mean. I am a very functional but yearning for growth for not just me but the left and right (my adult child and a good friend) I am so glad to learn about Ibogaine but was also thrilled to find a pharm suggestion I had never seen and hope that sort of thing is open for discussion also.

I saw your post about the opium question and yes I would say it is a plant medicine. I have never in my life experienced a better analgesic than opiates. But (at the risk of putting incorrect words in someone else's mouth) what I think that elfstone was emphasizing in that post was the distinction between what are considered entheogens and what are not. Natural does not an entheogen make. Coffee is from a natural source, tobacco is a plant, but that does not make caffeine and nicotine entheogens. As to the rules about what can be discussed I believe they are: 1)Topic must relate to ibogaine or 2)Topic must relate to P.K. Dick or 3)Post must be a demand to be removed from the list That's pretty much it really. And of course if you don't feel like talking about ibogaine or P.K. Dick you can also discuss pretty much anything else you like.

Actually, I wasn't even advocating anything in my original post about LDN, I was just sharing some interesting information I found that might be useful to someone. I'm glad that you picked up on it :-) About the university study, I have no doubt that dexedrine would help meth withdrawal, just like heroin is very effective in relieving heroin withdrawal ;-) Here's my take on the "sacred" plant - opium poppy thing. Sacredness is not an inherent quality of something, it's an attitude that one chooses to have about something. So elfstone likes entheogens and doesn't like opiates. Both (types) are plants that have been used traditionally for thousands of years and both have useful effects. Now I agree that entheogens are good for the soul and interesting to the mind and don't lead to a physical dependance with horrible withdrawal symptoms, but for someone in severe pain, opium may well be considered sacred in giving blessed relief. And it doesn't really matter if the molecule is synthetic or found in a plant. Synthetic opiates do the same thing as opium, LSD does the same thing as magic mushrooms, amphetamines do the same thing as khat. I hope you enjoy your dinner; keep in touch. Ulrich "Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

I saw your post about the opium question and yes I would say it is a plant medicine. I have never in my life experienced a better analgesic than opiates. But (at the risk of putting incorrect words in someone else's mouth) what I think that elfstone was emphasizing in that post was the distinction between what are considered entheogens and what are not. Natural does not an entheogen make. Coffee is from a natural source, tobacco is a plant, but that does not make caffeine and nicotine entheogens. As to the rules about what can be discussed I believe they are: 1)Topic must relate to ibogaine or 2)Topic must relate to P.K. Dick or 3)Post must be a demand to be removed from the list That's pretty much it really. And of course if you don't feel like talking about ibogaine or P.K. Dick you can also discuss pretty much anything else you like. Actually the real list purpose is here if you really want to know: http://ibogaine.mindvox.com/List/index.html Matt -----Original Message----- From: ibogaine-bounces at mindvox.com [mailto:ibogaine-bounces at mindvox.com] On Behalf Of xristine Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 7:51 PM To: The Ibogaine List Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] LDN and cancer, AIDS Ulrich Thank you so much for your comments as I am quietly assimilating the way this list works. I had wanted to say something quite the same as you did because I did feel the anger and pain of negativity from the post of Dana. Thank you for doing a good job clarifying your good message. I got excited immediatly thinking of exactly what you were hoping to implicate. I took a minute I was going to use researching the ibogaine issues and did a good bit of looking into using Naltrexone in the novel way.Funny thing is that today I also had called a University Study doing work with addicts and (Its paid too)they are using medication for Meth withdrawal and maintenance. I had thoughts of LDn in my brain while asking about their program and accidentally made a brain connection that went beyond my learniing. I asked if it was Naltrexone, the meds they were going to use!! Then I realized what I had done. They are going to use Dexi's and placebos. I commented to the researcher that their study was doomed (laughing but serious) because anyone who gets a placebo is going to go to sleep and never return for the rest. Oh, I am Xristine and have come for knowledge. I have addicts on the left, right and middle if you know what I mean. I am a very functional but yearning for growth for not just me but the left and right (my adult child and a good friend) I am so glad to learn about Ibogaine but was also thrilled to find a pharm suggestion I had never seen and hope that sort of thing is open for discussion also. I notice discussion of other plant medicines. Actually I made a comment in the form of a question to someone who compared plant meds to the use of opium. I said isn't opium a plant med? (or sumpin like that) Time to make dinner but thanks for putting me on your list and a happy hello to all of you; I'll give you our situation later when I sit down again. Meanwhile I am enjoying the variety on this list. Xristine I will be making a doctor appointment and giving my best promotion to get a prescription. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ulrich Hugel" > To: > Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 4:18 PM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] LDN and cancer, AIDS > Beware: The ears have walls! > > Dana, > I'm rather disappointed in the negativity of your response. > I'm sorry that many of your friends died when you were in ACT UP. > But do you KNOW that they were doing LDN as described and it didn't > help?
