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.
