How Ibogaine Gave Tony Torres Back His Life
Note* It was just about one year to the day from when Tony had his Ibogaine session, until he wrote this. During this time I've witnessed Tony go from an extremely talented musician that could barely tie his own shoes in life, to one of the most confident, capable, exciting. and vibrant bandleader, friend ect.. He is still growing in every aspect on a daily basis. Tony claims that his Ibogaine experience was the most positive life changing experience ever, as my session was for me, also. Click here for my story. There's a lot of info about Ibo on the bottom of this page. Tony wanted to share his story, so that anyone in a similar situation can learn about Ibogaine and consider it for a possible cure. Good luck & much love!
I
struggled with depression all my adult life. Couldn't seem to break free from my
past. I had no idea whatsoever that my spiritual quest was being hampered by my
own attitude and approach.
37 years of bad decision making leading up to a
tumultuously failed marriage and eventual suicide attempt found me in a five day
stay at the local psychiatric ward.
During my stay, Dave (D.C. of D.C. & Co.) visited me every night and gave
me the spiritual support that I wasn't getting anywhere else. He mentioned
ibogaine and I said, "Let me give these new meds a chance first." And for
a while I could feel the meds doing their work.
Meanwhile, my divorce had left my life in tatters...I
met the love of my life and still couldn't seem to get it together spiritually.
My failed marriage had done what seemed like irreparable damage to my psyche.
Also, the meds eventually stopped "working".
I started resorting to my defenses that I had
developed over the years to protect my inner self. Any situation could send me
down the broken spiral staircase that my mind had become.
One night, in a desperate moment, my fiancé
called Dave and asked him what to do. Dave said, "Put him on the phone". Through
a lengthy conversation, we both agreed that the time had come.
I had no idea what a beautiful moment
that tear soaked, gut wrenching decision was to reveal itself as several days
later when I received my treatment.
It changed a life that I and
many others were beginning to think would never change.
I won't go into detail of
my treatment as I know it's different for every individual that receives
treatment. What I will share is this, if you humble yourself to the resetting of
the ego, ID, and neurological transmitters of your brain, you will undergo a
most profound change in your way of thinking...but you must give yourself a
chance.
I found this new inner strength, or maybe
not so new, more like recognizable strength to face any challenge that
comes along. Instead of resorting to old defenses, you find an intense
calm that allows you to give every moment it's proper attention and an ability
to focus on the end result instead of all the "what ifs" and possible failures
along the way.
The biggest difference for me has
been that I now live every moment as though it were my last and I am finally
able to receive love, recognize it and know it for what it is. I can now give
love "by the boatload" and never tire or grow weary.
Focus is the end result result for
me. Anyone who would do a biography of my life for the last decade, would
clearly see the difference ibogaine has made for me.
Don't get me wrong, I still have my
ups and downs, my bad days/nights just like any human, it's just that I am now
able to face any challenge, receive any "gift" and experience any moment in a
much more positive and focused manner than I've ever known.
P.S. It helps immensely to listen to
what your Ibo provider has to offer as far as insights and advice before, during
and after your Ibo treatment in order to fully implement your new self, back
into this crazy world that we call life. Tony Torres 2/11/15
Ibogaine is an extract from a natural root bark grown in Africa. It reboots the mind, body & soul to a pre-trauma state. it’s very effective in drug interruption with minimal or no withdraw. There are Ibogaine clinics in most countries, but it’s illegal here in the US. As far as the mind and the soul they compare an Ibogaine session to 10 years of therapy.
