This is the email I sent to Rep Cliff Stearn, a Republican in my area. I hope we can vote in at least a Democrat next time around. Local communities should decide how best to fight the spread of HIV. Syringe exchanges are proven to help reduce HIV & Hepatitis C infection and also provide important links to drug treatment. As an RN who has worked in drug treatment, and contracted Hep C through a needle stick, I would like to see more citizens protected from blood borne disease It's time to lift the federal ban on syringe exchange funding. Will you sir, please sign the Cummings/Castle letter? For what it costs to care for one person with HIV, 30 cases could be prevented by this program. This is a health issue, not a moral one. Most voters in my area, once they are educated on this issue, support needle exchange programs. Thank you your time in the consideration of this important issue.

That in principle people could cultivate their own psychedelics if they wished to, and get informtaion as to how to have a Tryp. Ie., there is no need to be relying on being part of some 'mystery school', or going to a shaman, or medicine man. Regarding the rest of your post. Yes the so-called 'mental health movement' it is all a shambles. This is because the whole ediface is built on a myth of mental illness. The very institutions really function as social control. And usually it has always been the poor that have been the main victims. So for example we have a VERY brutal oppressive system that is not just harsh physically for many, but also psychologically. But that ,especially, the latter brutality cannot even be acknowledged by the victims of it, because the paradigm that breeds brutality is being said to be the reality A good example is Soviet Russia (and this has never really gone away): IF an individual did not accept the 'communist' ideology they would be dragged before the psychiatrists and deemed to be 'mentally ill' and forcibly incarcerated and drugged against their will. Because the paradigm, 'communism' was believed to be the 'reality', and to question it in whatever way was deemed to be not-normal! Now if the person accused doesn't know anything BUT that system then even s/he may feel they are 'not-normal', right? So compare that terrible scenario with ours. We have the 'capitalist' system which includes consumerism, and so on. IF you show distress about this, and any rebelliousness against the injustices, and abuse, of this system you too can be classed as being 'mentally ill', which can include being incarcerated and drugged against one's will, and/or stigmatized as an 'out patient' who needs to be 'on medication' because of 'mental illness', and all that that means in the community. How others think and behave with you, and how you think about yourself. Really the question is not who is going to fund this myth, it is how to EXPOSE this myth. Show the roots of this evil myth. Because not only are people and children being abused by it, but planet Earth is now under attack by mindsets totally disconnected from the web of life! regarde Juliano ----- Original Message ----- From: simon loxton To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 3:33 AM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] ianyone heard from buscit boy lately (randy) I need to read your entire email and really take it in because I want to say some thing about the fact that you said "these secrets need to be told" which I will get to; but first lets look at the state of psychiatric care around the world. Most of the people who should be receiving in-patient care are on the streets or stuck with their families all due to excuses like lack of funding etc. Where I am about 25% of the main psychiatric hospital is in a semi-working condition and the patients that really need it are not receiving the care that they need. The same happened or is in the UK. I have seen dozens of documentaries on the way these people are treated in whats left of the facilities as well as first hand. So even if there was a change in the approach to the type of care or medication these people got where would they get it? Who would fund it? Who really cares and what percentage of any budget is currently allocated to these people? The only people that would possibly have access are the ones who have families to foot the bill. Its quite a change discussing psychiatric issues and it opens a lot of doors for conversation but I honestly see it as something that's in a state of decay outside of private health care. In private health care it is just as I got the impression of what is trying to be said and thats to prescribe the nearest thing at hand to deal with the symptoms. ----- Original Message ---- From: Melanie Gutierrez To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Sunday, 1 June, 2008 3:55:36 AM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] ianyone heard from buscit boy lately (randy) This is the most powerful of statements, One doesn't need to give psychedelics to people who are experiencing powerful visionary experiences. Most likely would be superfluous. But to be there with them offering loving support, yes. And that is totally where the medical community gets it wrong. Where most people get it wrong. I've spent quite a moment thinking how to approach this particular email. Because, there are so many concurrent discussions going on right now that make this all very whole for me. There is a science behind, and tests for psychiatric illness. Now saying that, putting your example of Psychosis aside, because everything you said about psychosis is correct. Its only a catch all term for the weird and bizarre unexplainable behavior that people some times display. I say people because on this list at least most have had at least one type of break that is indescribable for them for what ever reason. And the main line of treatment for Psychotic episodes is Anti- and benzo's, thats what I see in the medical community. Just knock um out till its over. 10 of Haldol and 2 of Ativan standard ER care for someone freaking out. Thats the truth. I see the truth. http://www.icd9data.com/2008/Volume1/290-319/290-294/291/291.3.htm So there is alcohol physchosis. Of course there is, we all know what alcohol does to the body in not moderated forms, when your initialy on, then when you initially stop a chronic useage. Other psychatric D/O are very testable, treatable on a holistic level with out the chemical masking making people fit in to the "norm" of what "should be". But the medical community refuses to look at the whole picture. Good little link on Biological psychiatry in a mini e-textbook format. http://www1.lf1.cuni.cz/~zfisar/bpen/default.htm I picked the page on Affective disorders, because that is my "label" that was given to me oh so long ago. Bi-Polar, it was just manic depression when I was labeled with it, but now they even have levels on that. Bi-Polar I and II. Brillant, keep breaking it down and not treating the person still. Anyhow, there I rant. Holistic Medicine is what you (Juliano) basically are describing and it is the way the medical community needs to go in order to truely treat people. Which brings me to Body, Mind and Soul/Spirit Every medical scientific community for the most part refuses to look at Spirit and how that fits into the works. The concurrent discussion of Ibogaine going on with Howard, Simon, Sara and others. Bwiti want to preserve the custom/religion of their practice. Of Course they do, has western society proven to conserve and validate those practices that are Sacred to people. NEVER have we. Point taken there. Now in the evolution of things, I feel Howards point of, They NEED to, because even when we treat addiction with Ibogaine with out the spiritual aspect that has worked for the Bwiti, we are still failing the sacred use of the plant, and just using it as a drug. Much the way the medical community has failed to treat people. Well I just proofed and this has went on longer than I wanted already. But I must mention one more time, Newagism shit. I've seen it called, new newagism even. Ridiculous honestly IMO how much time we spend labeling. Its a form of scientific based sprituality that works for me, I choose to call it Mine. Sharing common threads with people like Matt who right now is in a huge struggle and is winning is what I'm here for, Not to argue benign points with likeminded people who are all here for the better good of humanity. Watching the evolution of Matt in his quest to figure this out for himSELF is a beautiful thing, I support his self on a very personal level. Thats what I'm here for currently. And where I have been currently trying to make a difference on a very 1:1 level. My dream job, working in the holistic energy center treating addiction/beh health issues that are real for people. Yet being able to be real with people with out it being unprofessional. Practicing modalities from all the cultures, reki, hypmotism, all that newagish shit. :) Maybe even the Bwiti if they will let us in. Keep on Keepin on, Juliano. The global fight continues. I'm glad your helping fight it. Mel On Sat, May 31, 2008 at 3:53 PM, Juliano wrote: Hi Simon, I will try and answer you questions best way I can: For a start there is no actual proof that mental illness is a biological disease. There are no tests. Of course there are human behaviours deemed disturbing and unacceptable by the prevailing authorities, but this doesn't make them diseases. rather, what is going on is a very serious game which is oppressing people. Ie., when people are accused of being 'ill', and then drugged, and/or electrocuted with ECT, and locked up, and tied up, and all the abuse of that, this means that the bigger picture--the community, society, culture, world, is conveniently not being looked at. So I encouage us to look directly at what is going on, which means the whole picture. And to do this means looking at the pharmaceutical industry and its relationship with the military industrial complex!....the whole schbangle. Otherwise, you can only be apporaoching this problem in a very superficial way. No matter how arduous it may be to look! We have to look. Not only because people are suffering under this oppression, but the very planet and its species are suffering under the onslaught of this oppression. it is ALL connected to this problem we are discussing. So to understand we need NOT compartmentalized thinking, which is the usual western scientific model, but a more Indigenous integrated vision. In my own person experience I was given LSD when I was very young, 15. I had no idea what the tiny pill was. But the experience, and others to follow brought me back to Nature. Ie., in that short speace of time from being a small kid into Nature and faeryland to a school-hardened young lad into the 'big city', LSD dissolved all of that conditioning. Now you claim that people have been pushed into 'psychosis' via psychedelics? This is very complex because what this prevailing culture classes 'psychosis' is not an exact category and is very subjective. In the UK kids who smoke a very strong cannabis called Skunk had been daignosed as being 'psychotic'. And I am sure many people who drink alcohol can seem the same, but usually we dont hear it about drinkers. So, is there such a condition as 'psychosis'? Wel...yes, --not using that psychiatric term if possible--but it is not physical disease but a process! Of? To understand we have to again understand the vast enormous pressure we are under. For some, things become so pressurized that the 'ego''s boudaries--if you like--give up to a healing energy that takes over. And the person may experience mythical visions etc etc. What the shrinks usually want to do then is suppress these visions. Drug them away. And the person is given nervous-system damaging 'medication'. But THAT is not mentioned!! As long as they can suppress it is all they want. Because to deal with this challenges their worldviews. One doesn't need to give psychedelics to people who are experincing powerful visionary experiences. Most likey would be superfluous. But to be there with them offering loving support, yes. THE most important thing to consider with psychedelics is Set & Setting. And this includes loving open helpful advice. Not a culture that classes all forms of behaviour deemed not 'normal' as psychotic. it is somewhat of a coincidence that another member of this forum I am with that is about psychedelics has recently shared his terrible experience from the pharma-shrinks in Germany. For simply saying things they are not familiar with they diagnosed him 'psychotic' and locked him up!! If this discussion continues I will ask his permission to copy his posts here.. See thing is Simon. the SECRET IS OUT! Unlike secret society's of past, etc. many people can if they desire cultivate their own psychedelics etc. So surely the most intelligen thing is to encourage and try and explore the most resepctul and intelligent and benevolent ways to exeperience with psychedelics. This must, in my opinion go hand in hand with UTMOST respect for the Land, and animals, all other species, and community. regarde Juliano ----- Original Message ----- From: simon loxton To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2008 11:01 PM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] ianyone heard from buscit boy lately (randy) I just wanted to comment Juliano; on some of your mails; they seem to me to carry the sentiment that psychedelics are the answer to mental disorders. If I have missed the point I apologize but I have to bring up the number of cases of psychosis that psychedelics or psychotropic substances have caused. I cant comment on cases occurring in controlled circumstances or approached medically. I would just like to get your comment on how you propose psychedelics are to be used in this respect. I only mention this as I see a possible danger from the drugs creating psychosis possibly in people that have borderline personality disorders or mental imbalances. I apologize That I can come up with any other description other than mental imbalance and personality disorder but is the only two terms I can use to describe the type of persons where this type of medication would be contra indicated in my opinion, again I am only going with my limited understanding of mental illness but have witnessed these types of problems in people and especially instances where these conditions were aggravated or worsened by taking mind altering substances. But as I said earlier this was not anything to do with cases where the drugs were administered by a doctor or in a clinical environment. I am just trying to get to an understanding of what it is you are advocating. I do believe in mental illness and think there is enough evidence to support its existence; which is why I think I may be misunderstanding some of the sentiments you are bringing across. I look forward to your comment. I just saw a documentary that noted Carey Grant took LSD about 80 timed for alcoholism which I found interesting. This was at the stage where they were trying to figure out what LSD was useful for. ----- Original Message ---- From: Juliano To: The Ibogaine List Sent: Saturday, 31 May, 2008 10:07:11 AM Subject: Re: [Ibogaine] ianyone heard from buscit boy lately (randy) Hi Randy, Sorry to hear about your son.

Uhhhhhh he said "get it up".............He He Anyway, I've been having a pretty hard time lately, my son got put in jail and I've been having a lot of problems with my back. Other thing too, too many to talk about really. My son got himself in some pretty deep shit, all because of alcohol. If he wasn't on probation it would have been opiates, but then he wouldn't have been all stupid and loud and idiotic enough to get put in jail but that's just supposing. Gatewood got him out of everything but the probation violation so he has to do 32 more days. When I got his first letter I cried like a baby, I mean sobbing and whaling and shit. I'm so glad that my Momma was here to lean on. We've been helping each other out here lately. God I love her so, but I digress. I felt like his upbringing was the root of all of this shit and I damn near lost it. I know better, but he was so descriptive that I was right there in the cell with him and it killed be to think of him in jail like that. He'll do fine, he's a lot like me so he can adapt to just about anything but still.........fuck, my boy is in jail. The way he was brought up was a big part ot this. His mother didn't make him mind, hell she smoked with him when he was 12. We divorced when Randy was 8 years old so I couldn't be there to keep him in line. I saw him on Christmas and shit but that's just not enough to make any difference really. Not that I'm any kind of saint or anything but I think I might have made a little difference anyway. I moved to Erie Pa right after we got divorced, hell the papers were still wet from the ink. That was my fault. I wasn't gonna lay all of this out on the list but I felt like I was gonna bust or something. There were a couple of people slam me for not trying to help in the right way here on the list, a couple of people that I really respect, and it hurt my feelings bad. I guess I'm just too sensitive for my own feakin' good. I mean I didn't think there was a wrong way to do the right thing, but I guess some people don't feel that way, so I kept my thoughts to myself and just read the list. I'm still working on getting treatment reports and accounts together so yall that haven't sent one................PLEASE help a brutha out. There are a few of you that have been here a while now that haven't sent an account, and I think that you all are important to the movement, we need to hear from you. You know who you are. Some of the old timers too. I'll try and write a little more to the list. It makes me feel better and that is what this list is for, not just dry information. We need all the information we can get but dealing with feelings is just as important. My opinion anyway. I think that Patrick would agree. I hope he doesn't mind me speaking for him like that, but I'll take the risk.

What about abused animals that are "unleashed" into the city where their sickness spreads to affect the entire community? What am I talking about? See my videos on You Tube, key words Barking Dog Tujunga Beckett. Last year I took Ibogaine to get free from the anger I felt and the damned prescription pain medications and returned home to this environment where I survive by denying anger so as to not let it get the best of me. No influence from drugs causing the anger this time. It's the scene outside my front door day and night that makes this world seem very cruel. I put up with this after Thankgiving trying not to die from viral meningitus, too sick to hardly move to put a pillow over my ears over the spectacle across the street. Now its been a year and three months in this environment. Peace someday...

I'm gonna save this one for later, but I did get through your first post J. Yes very well presented and yes disillusion is just that deeply a part of our culture. I believe this kids got on to something yall. This is gonna sound stupid, but if you'll indulge me got a couple questions: anybody in your family ever been diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy? and what do you see when you close your eyes to go to sleep at night? And if your buddy doesn't mind I'd like to see what he's had to say about things. I've known a number of mentally disabled people that had artistic ability out the roof. Whats on the outside is def not always whats on the inside.

Cabalistic healing, healing mantra's are also things we can learn, but we are not all capable to do so,then we look for help. when people are mentally ill they don't think about themselves. I have treated a man who thought he was The Messiah, and a lady who heard voices, who were controlling her life, also a person who didn't know where he was and what he should be eating or drinking, just tripping from too much interferon medication. those people couldn't take care of the most simple things kids know how to do. they all got medication after their family couldn't take care of them. this is just to give you the idea that it is not that simple as you think, people are complex being, the good, the bad and the ugly.
