Ibogaine has proven to effectively stop all substance addictions in the majority of patients
- Cocaine (normal and freebase)
- Opiates
- Alcoholism
- other chronic substance abuse
Ibogaine can also be very beneficial to former addicts. Unless one is clean for at least a year or more one is just clean but not craving free. More time has to pass to "forget" the drug.
These cravings are caused by deformed biochemical receptor sites in the body induced by the original drug of abuse and they only return to their original healthy state very slowly.
Ibogaine can help to eliminate these cravings for the drug thus diminuishing the risk of relapsing considerably.
As long as the former drug addict still has these hardwired desires for the drug it is very easy for him to fall back into his old pattern of abuse as soon as he gets confronted by a stressful situation in everyday life.
