Not that it's gonna do much but I signed as well. Still 9,122 signatures needed


After signing and before posting the above sentence, I decided to look for what happened to her. It seems some of our signatures (including mine which was posted way too late) weren't needed after all.

Her her site is still up and all the links work. I tried contacting whomever reads the messages through the automated "contact form" but the database did not accept it.

She was actually released on November 12 of 2012 and this topic started in July of 2012. She was released on November 13 from custody, pending the trial's conclusion. She spent 119 days in prison and the guy actually died 56 hours he left her clinic.

Her facebook page hasn't updated since July 12 but that's the part that's visible to the public. She was on a radio show in February 2013 so I assume she made it out fine.

I think the topic may be moot since she was released in November 2012 and there are no news of her going back to prison or being found guilty.

Signed! Wish I could sign it 10,000 times myself. So sad so many people on this forum and so few signatures.:thumb_dow This poor woman needs help.

I just read last post on here about her being released, after posting myself glad she made out ok.

I have very mixed feelings about this petition. Even though this woman might have a long track record of helping hundreds of people cure their addiction, she's responsible for the death of some one who trusted to be safe with her.

What bothers me most is that she just continued to carry out Ibogaine treatments after the department of justice told her to stop giving treatments until after the trial. By doing that she not only endangered herself, her clients but also the legal status of Ibogaine. She has a responsibility to keep both her patients and the medicine safe.

Signing this petition will most likely be a futile attempt. Someone died as a result of her actions and she'll has to answer to a court for that, regardless of all the good work she has done. It's a shame this had to end so badly for her, especially since she was doing such important work.

I would politely disagree with the idea that she is at fault for the death. If she had the legal power to keep him in treatment, i am sure she would have. He had the legal autonomy to leave after treatment, against recommendations, so i think he is at fault. He probably signed himself in to treatment and could sign himself out. Legal safe-guards should be put into place to prevent the voluntary discharge of patience who sign themselves in to treatment when chemicals that have significant impact on brain function are involved in treatment. If he was legally allowed to leave against strong recommendations and urges to stay, then i don't see how she should be legally liable for that when she had no way to stop it. Please feel free to argue this opinion as it is only mine and i enjoy nothing more than healthy discussions :d

** Posted this before i read that shes out and all that stuff, but feel free to argue the principle still

It seems like this case IS actually still going forward. Not that it will do much good but I signed it anyway. There is an update on the petition as of June 12th, 2014 saying the case is going forward in court. This is a topic very close to my heart, I wish I had access to ibogaine when I was recovering from heroin addiction. Alas, all I had was suboxone, which is better than methadone in most regards but still a chemical crutch. Maybe I wouldn't have lost so many friends if this was available in the US. Especially at a time when heroin use is staggeringly high, my northeastern states are reeling from opiate addiction, as well as everywhere else.
I think every little bit helps, and I don't want to see this amazing woman put away for helping people.

Peace and love, always!
