Alternative Treatments

In my initial post I mentioned alternative drugs.  I want to focus on Ayahauasca in this article and will be posting several sites that you can investigate.  Keep in mind that I am learning right along with you all.  It would be great if in your own reading you could post things that you find of interest.  Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot known about this vine and it is usually administered in South America.  I am NOT suggesting that we start having mass Ayahuasca parties to treat our loved ones, however, I do think that it should be researched.  Now that will mean some Dr. trekking down there and learning how to make it.  There are a few Drs. I know that I would pay good money to see doing that.  One in particular admitted to being in the Air Force, an officer, in Germany doing field exercises and the officers burned down their tent trying to start the wood stove.  The Drs.

If the research can be done, I don't see why it shouldn't be like any other drug.  Even if this is something that would have to be administered in-patient to monitor vitals.  There would also have to be a protocol for how to counter-act the effects, if needs be.  Also from this first article, I would think they would need to learn from several of the medicine men.  This would account for mild to severe reactions to the ayahausca ceremony.  I suppose then it would be a matter of finding the effective median range.  AND, for Gods Sake keep it out of big pharma's ability to charge 100's of thousands of dollars for it.  Well, enough of my random thoughts, let me know yours.  Updates will follow.
