Default discussion of ibogaine/ibocaine potential has been around

thanks for bringing this topic up again!! perhaps this time around some research will be done on its use in PD. madelyn

there are several others-the search feature lists many of them.
a long time ago, when first researching ibogaine, I found a neuroscientist at the Univ of Florida, Dr. Deborah Mash, who had established a clinic on St Kitts using ibogaine to treat addictions. the drug was administered IV at the time, though I read that she had distilled the active ingredient in ibogaine , eliminating the hallucinatory effect and that it was now in pill form. I corresponded with her about the use of ibogaine for PD, though she was not willing to use it for PD since she was dealing with too much using it for addiciton. I have no idea if her clinic is still in existence or if she is still working at the Univ of florida. Just another one of those avenues I dropped because i had too little time and energy to break thru the barriers that are keeping the drug from use in the US. I still believe the reason behind its banning is the fear it could revolutionize the treatment of addiction.
