Description
The iboga bush grows in central West Africa. The active ingredient it contains, ibogaine, is considered the world's most powerful psychedelic, and a "golden remedy" for treating various types of addiction, from alcoholism and nicotinism to cocaine and methamphetamine addiction and heroin addiction. The visions it induces, often of a telepathic nature, also promote deep mental transformations extremely helpful in recovery from depression.
In the book Ibogaine. The Healing Power of Vision, Peter Frank introduces the reader to the world of this still very little known substance, tracing its history in African bwiti cults, and in the world of Westerners, looking at the typical structure of a psychedelic session using ibogaine, discussing its remarkable healing properties and complicated legal status in the modern world. This book is an exceptionally clear compedium of knowledge about this "miracle drug" that is yet to discover its full potential.
Peter Frank is an American lecturer, radio producer, and long-time host of Ibo-radio, a program dedicated to ibogaine and other psychedelics.
