One of the main concerns surrounding ibogaine treatment is its safety. However, David reassured us that in his extensive experience, he has never encountered any health problems or complications with his patients. He emphasized that while individuals may experience dizziness and a few days of recovery, the treatment itself is not painful or dangerous. In fact, many patients feel well enough to go home after just a few days. David also addressed a specific case that often comes up in discussions about ibogaine safety - the unfortunate death of a businessman in Mexico. He clarified that this incident had nothing to do with ibogaine treatment itself, but rather with the individual's misuse of heroin. It is crucial to separate such isolated incidents from the overall safety profile of ibogaine treatment.

David Dardashti explains the nature of trauma and its profound impact on individuals. Trauma can result from a single event or a prolonged period of distress, such as witnessing intense conflict between parents as a child. Unlike physical wounds that heal over time, trauma becomes deeply embedded in the subconscious or soul, causing long-lasting pain and affecting one's behavior and relationships. Traditional mental health treatments often fall short in addressing trauma, as they fail to reach the depths of the subconscious. David's Ibogaine treatment and neurostimulus technique offer a unique approach to healing trauma by accessing the subconscious and allowing individuals to confront and process their traumatic experiences. This comprehensive treatment addresses both the physical and mental aspects of trauma, providing relief and long-term healing.

Defining trauma is no easy task. While numerous books have been written on the subject, none seem to fully capture the essence of what trauma truly is. In today's episode, we will delve deeper into the concept of trauma and its lasting effects, as well as explore a holistic approach to healing that addresses both the physical and spiritual aspects of a person's being. The transformation that occurs when trauma is healed is nothing short of remarkable. Individuals who have carried the burden of trauma for years, even decades, find themselves released from its grip.
