Funnily enough I just googled 'shamanism' and 'Parkinson's' and found references to ibogaine. There are many more references to ayahuasca though. What do you already know about ibogaine? I read a very good book about it called 'Breaking Open the Head', it's a very powerful psychedelic and should only be used with supervision. I used a lot of psychedelics in my 20s but I would be quite nervous about taking ibogaine or ayahuasca, even with very experienced guides. But I'm sure the insights gained would lead to healing of some kind even if PD symptoms didn't improve. although it seems according to what I have read today that these herbs increase GDNF too. Hmmm, got me thinking - I have a friend who is practising shamanism, might delve deeper into this...
