THERE IS HOPE FOR PEOPLE WITH DRUGDEPENDENCE...


IBOGAINE is a plant alkaloid found in the root bark of the West African shrub Tabernanthe Iboga. It has the unique property of removing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings from substances that cause chemical dependence, such as heroin, cocaine, alcohol, etc. It has a long history of traditional use as a medicinal and spiritual tool in West Africa. For the last 40 years, it has increasingly been used in western society as a tool in addiction therapy and psychotherapy.
IBOGAINE is not a maintenance drug and it can't be owned as it is a naturally occurring molecule. Enough reason for the pharmaceutical industry to turn their back on IBOGAINE...






With our documentary we try to educate as many people as possible on Ibogaine's potential as a tool in the treatment of drug-dependence. The more people share this information, the more people will be able to choose for this alternative if they need it and the more professionals worldwide will be informed about Ibogaine. Interest and funding is needed for its further development and until the day it is officially accessible, more treatment-providers outside of the official medical world are needed, as well as more education towards drug-users. Ibogaine is legal in most parts of the world, except for Belgium, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia and the US.
Watch the documentary now!


Our vision of saving the many lives of people with a chemical dependence is only as strong as the people supporting it: TAKE ACTION NOW!


There are several ways to help;
1. Educate yourself; watch the film or buy a copy
2. Talk about it in your environment;
3. Share information on Ibogaine with professionals working in the field of addiction treatment.
4. Setup a screening or presentation. Email us for more info.
5. Send relatives/friends/colleagues with a chemical dependence a DVD of our film.
6. If you have financial means, please donate; your help is needed to continue our work. Donations are exclusively used for financing screenings, presentations and conferences as well as financing our follow up film on the Ibogaine documentary of which we hope to start the production soon.
