Ibogaine

IbogaineDuring my show on 27 September 2007 on Talk Radio 702 the topic of Ibogaine was briefly discussed following a call relating to hallucinogenic substances in discussing Graham Hancock’s book Supernatural.

I have since been contacted by listeners wishing to know more about the substance, especially with regards to its apparent success rate at curing heroine addiction.

Ibogaine is called ‘The Tree of Life’ in its native territory of the Congo. It supposedly has a 60 percent success rate in curing addiction, but since the drug is illegal in most countries I doubt this number has been derived from any serious study.

There are two websites dedicated to the plant at www.ibogaine.org and www.ibogaine.net both containing a wealth of information.

Please note that I am not advocating the use of Ibogaine. It is a powerful psycho-tropic substance and could pose a huge health risk. For help with drug addiction please visit Narconon’s website at www.stopaddiction.co.za

    Ibogaine does deserve much more study. The people that i’ve talked to who have taken it, seem to say that it can be very effective against many types of addictions.

    For attention: The Principal and staff of the school.

    I am writing out of concern over the involvement of the Scientology organization in your school. Scientology has many front groups; Youth for Human Rights, Narconon, Applied Scholastics, Drug-Free Marshals, and several offshoots of these. As the link to Scientology becomes known, they reshuffle and change their names.

    Their goal, however, remains the same. To expose new people to Scientology principles and gain public acceptance.

    In the United States, particularly where Scientology has a concentrated presence, these front groups are well known.

    Scientology's “drug education” outreach was expelled from public schools in California, Hawaii, Boston, Massachussets and Buffalo, New York after a review by a panel of medical professionals determined it was inaccurate, misleading, and based on L. Ron Hubbard's junk science.

    Indeed, the man dropped out of college to pursue a career writing pulp fiction before he founded Scientology.

    I am sure that you found the representatives to be friendly, affable people who convinced you that they only want to help.

    However, the fact is, their goal is a sinister one. In Scientology, all roads lead to L. Ron Hubbard; and if infiltrating schools and providing programs can further that goal, they will do it.

    The problem is, they hide their true intentions behind a friendly facade. Even a cursory search online will return hundreds of horror stories, court documents and media coverage.

    Indeed, if people would only do a little research before making a decision to allow Scientology front groups in their schools, in no time these groups would wither away.

    The fact is, Scientology is a destructive cult, a fraudulent organization that actually drills its representatives in lying effectively. People have wasted their whole lives in Scientology. Some quit school. Others gave up their families and life savings to further Scientology's goal of “clearing the planet.”

    I have assembled an informational booklet which can be downloaded here:
    http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1198812
    You can download it free.

    'Anonymous and Scientology' contains first hand accounts of Scientology abuses, quotes from L. Ron Hubbard which expose their true intent, and information on the Scientology organization's infiltration of government and community.

    Scientology is currently focused on South Africa. It has invaded schools with programs that, on the surface, seem quite benign. These “free” programs are funded by Scientologists in an effort to disseminate the Word of Ron to communities at all levels; from school children to police departments to local government officials.

    Information is free. Scientology is not. Inform yourself. This is a dangerous, fraudulent organization which is facing a number of court dates around the world. France recently brought the organization up on charges including fraud and practicing medicine without license. Belgium has a similar case in the works, and Germany is still collecting evidence.

    Amnesty International is investigating human trafficking within Scientology.

    Scientology has a 50 year history of espionage, human rights abuses, and criminal behavior. These are the last people you would want to have access to your children!
