As I watch my parents memory decline drastically from this death shot, I sometimes investigate to see what could possibly be done for them.
I've come across something interesting, probably a long shot, but been focusing on substances that increase neurogenesis.
Psychedelics have been shown to increase neurogenesis. One that is really serious and surprisingly effective is ibogaine.
Ibogaine has been used to get people off of heroin, alcohol, and other addictive substances in one treatment. It is being researched in Parkinson's disease. It really is miraculous if you look at the data.
Now, it is incredibly taxing on the body. If you have anyone suffering from addiction, you should look into this. It is pretty expensive and kind of dangerous if done alone, so there are clinics in Mexico that do this under strict medical supervision.
But it is being used for Parkinson's because it increases GDNF, which can help the brain grow new dopaminergic cells. Addicts come out of the treatment feeling pretty damn good. Veterans are starting to go for PTSD- Sean Ryan did this exact treatment.
The question I have is if anyone uses this, especially us God-Fearing people, is this a sin? I know psychedelics are entering into other realms, other entities, and is something God has warned about. There is definite spiritual danger in messing with psychedelics.
Using it strictly for medicinal purposes, not to speak with entities or to get high, but to help PTSD, neurogenesis, etc. What's your opinion on the nature of this. How do you think God views this?
There are some great Christians in this place, smarter and better than me. Would love to know what you guys think from a sin perspective.
Psilocybin has helped bring me closer to God. It was a gift to me, and I believe it's helped to decalcify my pineal galnd.
The research on ibogaine is incredible. We have an opiate crisis right now, and people are basically skipping the withdrawal and dealing with their trauma. The success rate is pretty damn high.
Of course, it is illegal in the US because this demonic entity wants to profit off of addicts. This could be a huge step forward in combatting this epidemic if it were legalized and priced into an affordable package for anyone to receive this therapy. I was blown away when I read about it.
It is a bit dangerous, but with proper medial staff, very safe. Heroin addicts are flirting with dying every single day from fentanyl.
But there are the ethical questions that have me wondering about if this is acceptable by Christ. It is a plant made by God. I'm still debating this as I've seen other Christians saying it is sinful and unacceptable.
I think they might be wrong.. Who knows. Im glad mushrooms helped you
Many Christians do not believe in drinking Alchohol at all and getting drunk a sin. It is not in the 10 commandments and Jesus drank wine and at that wedding he probably got drunk. Most of my family were addicted but still followed Christ. They stayed clean but still had to battle it.
Over indulgence of almost anything is going to be bad for you and gluttony is looked down upon in God's word.
