Treating Traumatic Brain Injury with Ibogaine | Dr. Nolan Williams ~ ATTMind 188
Dr. Nolan Williams joins us to talk about brain injury, ibogaine, and the incredible results of his study on ibogaine for treatment of traumatic brain injury, "concussions" in particular.
We also talk about ibogaine as an oneirogen; the cardiac risks of ibogaine; how ibogaine compares to other treatments methods for brain injury, including other psychedelics; microdosing ibogaine for traumatic brain injury; and that ibogaine can seemingly “de-age” the brain.
Additionally, we talk about context vs pharmacology in the healing benefits of psychedelics; separating high-technology from time; and how and why using the vehicle of capitalism to fund psychedelic research may be a good thing.
