Kirsten Cherian is the Stanford neuropsychologist who gave
Special Forces veterans with traumatic brain injuries a single
dose of ibogaine — a psychedelic root used in African shamanic
ritual for millennia — and watched their injury scores collapse
from severe to normal in a month. It's a weak agonist for nearly
every receptor in the body, yet it somehow delivers a tailor-made
result to each person — a form of pharmacology science has never
seen before.

Expect to learn why veteran suicide outpaces combat deaths, how
one dose collapsed PTSD, depression, and anxiety at once, why
users describe their brains being "defragged," a researcher's
12-hour "conversation" with the ibogaine molecule itself, the
bizarre phenomenon of "DMT blocking" by hostile entities, why
ibogaine has no single receptor target — "matrix pharmacology,"
how brain age dropped by over a year in a single month, and why
the results contradict science's leading theory of consciousness.
