Kolya Iboga Testimonial (UK)

Why you should choose Harambe Ibogaine Detox Centre?
I fully recommend the ibogaine experience with Bilal and Cathy. I had a preconception that they might be two crazy hippies who would encourage me to talk to trees and denounce myself as an animal murderer, but they are just two lovely, knowledgeable and down-to-earth people. As soon as I arrived and got chatting to them and their kids, I felt relaxed and I really enjoyed getting to know the whole family over the course of five days. They also have the loveliest and most well-trained (Ridgeback) dog: Jamma.

They live in a beautiful part of the world and after I recovered from the Ibogaine experience, I spent my time either lying in a hammock in their botanical conservatory, sunbathing on the roof or walking with the dog through the orange groves and eating delicious oranges. By the end of my stay, I felt fully recharged and ready to face the world again.

I fully recommend Cathy, Bilal and this setting over staying in a clinic. They have all the relevant knowledge to ensure you have the experience you need, and probably twice the compassion (compared to clinic doctors).

How was my ibogaine experience?
Cathy picked me up from the airport and took me to their house; when I arrived, Bilal gave me a drink which cleared out my system. Then I just relaxed on my bed and watched films on my laptop and went to sleep. The next morning Bilal gave me the first ibogaine capsule, then another an hour later but nothing was happening. However, I lay there a little longer and I started to enjoy the shard of light coming through the blind turning into a hallucination of a beach. This was just the beginning. Throughout the following few hours as things got more intense, Bilal and Cathy both made regular checks on me without disturbing me (which was perfect). The whole time I was also fully aware of who I was and where I was; I even tried to test myself with thinking of scary stuff and it was fine because I knew that I was in control. As others have said, you do get more sensitive to noise. I would recommend bringing ear plugs because you are in a house and there naturally will be some noise, but for me it wasn’t really a bother.

I cannot really recall any of the visions I had. They were not linked in any emotionally relevant way to me, nor did they show me anything revelatory. However, I was able to think deeply about who I was as a person, the things I said to people and why I said them. It was like, for the first time, I was able to think without all the other opinions and influences from outside casting doubt on the truthfulness of my thoughts and beliefs. I discovered some stuff that really struck on a visceral level, and this was stuff I had already known on an intellectual level but it had never penetrated to motivate active change.

This stuff was mainly my need for attention and focus on myself. I kept remembering snippets of conversations I had had over the past few months and all of them were showing me that the stuff I was saying was designed to draw attention to me (both positive and negative), and the focus was always on how I was presenting myself to the world. The ibogaine also revealed a false self I had developed to mask a fragile ego. This false self was opinionated, controversial and somewhat obnoxious.

After a few hours, the ibogaine began to subside in strength. This is the hardest part because you lay there with your thoughts for the next 24-48 hours and it is really really boring. However, it is vital because you can still think in a creative way and it helps cement and clarify new insights. The next morning after the experience, Bilal brought me fruit, granola and yoghurt (after no food for about 40 hours). I was sooo happy and I definitely felt Stockholm syndrome towards him J.

How do I feel now (3 weeks later)?
In some ways I am not much different. My personality has not changed drastically. I still drink more than I should and I love meat just as much as before. However, I feel like I scraped out a negative and false feeling inside myself. I feel calmer and more compassionate towards my friends and family, and I also feel this more towards myself. I can see aspects of myself that I really like more clearly and I feel less attached and ashamed of my negative traits. It’s like I’ve detached the negative traits from my identity and now they just live in my mind, ready to be slowly destroyed (no rush). Finally, I feel motivated to make active changes towards self-improvement in the form of therapy.

Final advice?
Don’t be afraid to undertake this experience. It will give you what you need.

It is incredibly dificult to comprehend what Kathy, Bilo, their amazing family and iboga have done for me. The beauty of working with Bilo and Kathy is not only that they are ‘just amazing people’ but that their approach to administration Is bespoke and holistic, they curate a very safe environment which is imperative when undergoing such a powerful treatment.

It is tremendously labour intensive work Kathy and bli do and the amount of care and attention they place on your well-being is munificent, they are real humanitarians, the conversations I had with bilo about B B king, roasted peanuts and the pueblos Jovenes (surprisingly therapeutic), how present and attentive Kathy was to my relaying of my traumas, it all meant so much to me , so thank you for that.

One must consider when undergoing this treatment whom it is they are being looked after by, as someone who as a result of being treated appalling in the past by those who were supposed to be looking after me I find the company of others, especially strangers unnerving- I have never felt so comfortable amongst unfamiliar faces.

I realise now, that before taking iboga there were parts of me that didn’t want to change, to heal, I was able to understand why that was, come to terms with it and now the thought of healing evokes excitement and hope opposed to angst and fear.

Although iboga in and of itself is incredibly healing what makes the medicine so special are its precursory effects, Iboga allows you to not only prosses your trauma but serves as an avenue for hope and an impetus for change.

Understanding that change comes from within and that we are capable of change is no easy task and to go one step further and act on that belief when in a place of severe hardship is almost futile, Iboga altered my entire sense of self – which, prior to taking iboga was very negative, that is no longer the case.

I urge anyone who is struggling in their lives with trauma and addiction to undergo this magnificent treatment, I am absolutely stunned by the e.icacy of iboga.

Le sunt recunoscator din adancul sufletului gazdelor. Sunt niste oameni absolut extraordinari si calzi.

M-am simtit in permanenta un membru al familiei lor. Am beneficiat de atat de multa grija si sustinere cum nu am simtit de muult.

Tratamentul meu a fost cu iboga. A fost pentru prima oara cand am avut o experienta cu psihedelice si vreau sa dau un sfat oricarei persoane care urmeaza sa aiba o astfel de doza, cu orice halucinogen: lasati asteptarile, sperantele in legatura cu modul in care credeti ca se va desfasura experienta deoparte. Uiati toata teoria. Toate trip report-urile citite sunt irelevante.
Experienta este atat de personala si poate varia deosebit de mult.

Eu unul am avut o experienta lipsita aproape in totalitate de vizuale. Nu am vazut decat un tipar arhitectural egiptean in coltul campului vizual care s-a risipit dupa vreo 5 secunde si un televizor pe lampi de moda veche cu antene cu ecranul stins.

Cu toate acestea, trip-ul a fost puternic emotional si m-a facut sa realizez cat de tare m-au afectat niste traume de care credeam ca m-am detasat.

Totodata, nu cred ca as fi putut alege un loc mai bun decat aceasta familie.
Totul s-a desfasurat in conditii de maxima siguranta. Am fost monitorizat in permanenta si repet, sunt niste oameni atat de deosebiti. Ii iubesc din tot sufletul si abia astept sa ii revad fiindca ma voi intoarce deoarece am realizat ca terapia cu psihedelice este un life long journey. Nu este o pastila magica pe care o iei o data si te limpezeste de toate greutatile.

De asemenea, spre surprinderea mea, desi am crezut initial ca beneficiul principal va fi trip-ul vreau sa spun ca experienta comunicarii cu ei a fost in egala masura vindecatoare.
Aaa, si sa nu uit: Malik, fiul lor, este un scump; un baietel atat de educat si atat de saritor. Are 10 ani si spontaneitatea lui mi-a reamintit de simplitatea vietii de copil. Astfel, apogeul trip-ului meu a fost datorat atmosferei de familie. Ma aflam la finalul experientei, dar in continuare puternic sub influenta ibogai, cand am intrat sufrageria lor. Acolo, mama lui, Catherine, asculta o muzica atat de frumoasa, iar Malik se zbenguia si acest peisaj m-a inundat cu fericire.

Cu atat mai frumos, a fost faptul ca in ultima seara Catherine s-a oferit cu tot dragul sa ma scoata alaturi de Malik si de o prietena de-a ei la in Valencia, la un bar, la un concert flamenco. Va dati si voi seama din ce va povestesc cata compasiune au oamenii acestia. Aaa! Si nu numai ca m-a dus acolo, ci a facut si cinste.

In concluzie, am crapat usa vindecarii si nu as putea fi mai fericit ca i-am ales pe acesti oameni. Va iubesc Catherine, Bilal, Malik!

P.s.: portocalele de pe strada de-a lungul careia e si casa lor sunt cele mai bune pe care le-am mancat vreodata. Absolut geniaale!
