Metabolic passage – its costs and benefits summarizes research on the metabolic effects of ibogaine. The document discusses how ibogaine influences diverse receptors, enzymes, and transporters. It also influences neurotrophin synthesis and gene expression. Studies show ibogaine increases the availability of ATP and impacts protein synthesis. Ibogaine facilitates metabolic adaptations and shifts the epigenetic landscape in a stable manner. The influence on metabolism is neither species nor tissue specific and does not act through known ibogaine receptors. Ibogaine may help treat addiction by accelerating detoxification and eliminating cravings.
Cell culture refers to the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their subsequent growth in a favorable artificial environment. The cells may be removed from the tissue directly and disaggregated by enzymatic or mechanical means before cultivation, or they may be derived from a cell line or cell strain that has already been established.

We are motivated with the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to be free from the chains of addiction and so therefore we make it our goal to make that a possibility for all. Our passion is fueled by our own experience of the miracle that is Ibogaine treatment and through that we are driven to bring this knowledge to all. We have consultants located in Los Angeles and San Diego with our treatment center in Playas, Mexico. We are easily accessible through either phone or email communication, so please don’t hesitate and experience the miracle that is being reborn free of addiction.
Our team of 8 undergrads spent a summer conceiving, designing, constructing, and testing a new system for sensing and reporting alternative fuel source concentrations. We were lucky enough to be invited to the world championship jamboree at MIT in Cambridge, MA, and this was our presentation for our 20 minute talk. Let me just say, I absolutely love how these slides turned out. However, it definitely makes more sense with our explanations, so check the whole talk out at the iGEM results website: http://2011.igem.org/files/video/Wisconsin-Madison_Championship.mp4

24. Why do you need narcotics Mr. Lee?
I need junk to get out of the bed in the morning, to shave
and eat breakfast. I need it to stay alive.
William S. Burroughs, Junkie
25. It is not that a warrior learns shamanism as time goes by;
rather, what he learns as time goes by is to save energy.
This energy will enable him to handle some of the energy
fields which are ordinarily inaccessible to him.
Shamanism is a state of awareness; the ability to use energy
fields that are not employed in perceiving the everyday-life
world that we know.
Carlos Castaneda
26. Increased energy availability
• accelerates metabolic turnover,
facilitates metabolic adaptations -
detoxification and reversal of tolerance
• enhances mental agility, elevates mood
and life will
• facilitates introspection and insight into
one’s own pathology, helps to locate
and solve the problem
• eliminates cravings and protects against
recidive
27. Study showed that ibogaine’s influence on
metabolism is neither species nor tissue specific
Effect is not mediated by binding of ibogaine to
receptors previously described in the literature
Ibogaine shows remedial effect in different
pathological conditions, while in health it helps to
resist stress in the adaptogene manner
