ayahuasca it is!! its become abundantly clear after just a couple hours online that the ibogaine treatment industry (cuz its sure not about healing or medicine and cuz Im too polite to call it a racket) at least insofar as the bigger and well known centers are all fraught w/ ***, in the best cases huge egos and in the worst cases purely profit driven fraud and, again sugar coating things a bit, less than full disclosure surrounding deaths. a dear personal friend of mine went to crossroads (aka more than a couple other names, why does a business pay and work to promote a name then abandon it and its subsequent name repeatedly? Its not cuz of their illustrious history of success and happy clients) and died during treatment, this occurred in 2014, Dr Polanco or however its spelled (and like the name of one business he's been affiliated with he's also done personal name changes) was unavailable when some of his family went down to retrieve the body and even after extending their stay in Mexico solely to speak to Dr Polanco, were dodged by him. its Mexico so records and documentation of anything medical including deaths are vague and sketchy at best, Ive heard from one person who was a patient that the claims of full time Drs and emt on site werent their first hand experience but to be fair I wasnt there myself and this person is not always trustworthy. Ive read interviews w/ the Dr and extremely flattering ones of him, not some competitor fabricating things, and even those have him contradicting his own words over and over. I cofounded the center, I joined the center about 2 years after they opened, it cant be both Doc, pick a side. its my baby I created the program, when asked about a death, I wasnt director then. Ive never been to the center nor met anyone involved with it. And clearly its a small little industry with a few players who are pretty dysfunctional familylike, at bare minimum theyre all quite familiar with one another and theres an intertwined work path with lots of them seemingly always ending very badly and confrontationally. I wouldnt trust a single review, either negative or positive, on these type of sites, because as clearly evidenced right here theyre chock full of the various business owners/ employees slandering one another and/ or posting fictitious things. I know ibogaine has some incredible gifts for some people, but at least as far as ANY center alleging ibogaine tratment ANYWHERE in Baja Mexico Id beg anyone debating it continue their search and be most diligent and healthily skeptical of anyone anywhere selling ibogaine treatment. At present Im pretty certain theres nowhere its actually legal, I dont mean in Mexico I mean earth. Not legal tho not criminal in some places, some that sorta look the other way for now, but as far as Ive ever heard or anything I could find in writing, nowhere is it fully above board and legal. Of course theres many valid medical treatments and drugs which arent legalized due to pharma interests and interference and a host of reasons none being that the drug or procedure isnt beneficial. But Im 100% convinced that at least in the baja ibogaine community the best of operators are still a huge risk and its terrifying to consider literally putting one's life in their hands, do as you will
