Having seen the Youtube documentary by the BBC I feel that Peter Aziz was a rather vulnerable target. He has beliefs (fairies and gnomes, for example) which border on the ridiculous, and healing methods which call on water spirits. I don't believe it is up to me to question whether he is right or wrong because he is free to have his own beliefs, and good on him.

However, he was stupid to allow the BBC to film him. He was stupid to allow footage of him brewing Ayahuasca in his kitchen to be captured. He was stupid to be filmed trying to treat a patient with a terminal case of cancer. He was stupid to be caught on film ranting on about fairies and gnomes and water spirits.

Couldn't he see that this would NOT endear Joe Public or the Regulatory Authorities (Police, Judges, Medical Specialists et al) to what very many people globally DO know -  which is that the sacred plant medicine - as documented by Dr Charles Grob and many others by and large provides many many positive benefits to the individual.

In the final scene of the documentary it was clear that the BBC reporter had some compassion and sadness in what he was reporting about Peter Aziz. Of course they would have had to have a doctor present to validate the storyline that silly things were being said about cancer. What really annoys me is that we now have a situation of case law in the UK re Ayahuasca.

There is another court case going thru' the system in the UK and the argument is/was being meticulously prepared for the defence of Ayahuasca. IMHO Peter Aziz has stupidly and recklessly jeopardised this.
