Because there is no funding for studies coming from big pharmaceutical companies who normally fund medical research and that most ibogaine treatments would have been conducted in an underground setting.
Means that there haven’t been many studies into the effectiveness of ibogaine.
But luckily there have been some!
ibogaine appeared to be effective in opioid detoxification, and about one-third of subjects reported abstinence from opioids for periods of 6 months or longer following treatment.
A retrospective study on 75 subjects, a subset available from a group of 195 individuals who have been treated or cocaine dependence, almost none of whom used opioids, reported a median relapse-free interval of 5.5 months following single doses of ibogaine of 7.5 to 20 mg/kg
Medical professionals who have used ibogaine to treat people recovering from methamphetamine addiction report 50-80 percent success rates; however, long-term recovery and relapse avoidance depend largely on entering a rehabilitation program after taking ibogaine with a doctor’s supervision.
Long-term recovery and relapse avoidance depend largely on entering a rehabilitation program, after care or change of environment.
One doctor reported a 70-80 percent success rate with effective aftercare; he added that, when people recovering from meth addiction took ibogaine but returned to the same environment where they had originally abused meth, there was a 90 percent relapse rate.
In a study of opiate addicts 50% reported being clean still at 30 days and 33% at 3 months.
Comparatively, Suboxone treatment for opioid addiction shows an 8.6 percent success rate once the person no longer needs to take Suboxone.
Standard 12 step and CBT based rehab centres typically only have a success rate of around 17.5% at 30 days.
The statistics speak for themselves! Ibogaine is far more successful at beating addiction than the alternatives.
But it’s still up to you to change your life after!
Bastiaans study of the long term effects of ibogaine treatment on drug addicts posed the following questions:

Most of this website content was written by Rich Hughes, as well as the website creation itself.
In the photo to the left, he is the man on the right hand side.
He worked and volunteered for more than 5 years at various ibogaine detox clinics in México and Portugal before striking out on his own in Spain, his clinic is called Madera Sagrada which is Spanish for sacred wood, the indigenous Bwiti name for iboga.
During this time he has experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of ibogaine treatment; from the countless dozens who gained their freedom and even witnessing a death whilst working as a volunteer. This drove him to better understand the health and safety aspects, including how to read an ECG/EKG and an advanced first aid course.
It is with his hard won information, and a desire to see ibogaine knowledge distributed around the world, saving lives, as it has saved his life from Crack and heroin addiction.
