Rich Hughes; ibogaine provider and owner of Madera Sagrada.

Rich speaks both English and Spanish. Rich tried several rehabs and detoxification techniques before he came across ibogaine – he very quickly realised that it was powerful medicine and post his ibogaine detox from crack and heroin addiction he trained in Wales, Mexico and Portugal under more experienced ibogaine providers ranging from shamans to doctors. After more than a decade battling with crack and heroin addiction and trying very hard, to ‘get’ the standard recovery techniques on offer such as methadone, Subutex, CBT, and 12 step programs such as NA and AA. He finally came across psychedelics as a medicinal ‘cure’ to addiction, discovering ibogaine and iboga, he moved from his council flat in a small town near London, England to an Ashram in Wales then onto México and later Portugal to learn more about ibogaine drug detox in centres there. He felt amazed at the almost instant removal of physical withdrawal from opiate addiction that ibogaine provided him (a painful, drawn-out experience under more standard detox techniques) alongside other changes he underwent, he decided to dedicate his life to working with this special medicine. He went on to study, volunteer and work with several ibogaine providers; learning to read ECG’s, understanding drug interactions and more before completing a first aid course and opening his own ibogaine centre in Spain, Europe. The shamanic use of psychedelics provides an important ‘break-through’ experience for an addict seeking freedom, but it’s up to them to ‘see it through’. Guidance will be given on how best to do this. Ibogaine is FANTASTIC medicine for an addict seeking freedom, but it is not a stand-alone solution. Becoming self-aware through a combination of meditation, understanding of the midbrain, and how to take control of your mind and body through breathwork and cold/heat exposure, such as the Wim Hof method amongst others, are invaluable to someone making this journey away from addiction towards deep freedom. Herb-lore he learnt from the indigenous people of Latin America aids this work and the process – providing his clients a natural way to calm themselves without having to rely on pharmaceuticals such as booze, benzos and opiates. These herbs provide a valuable stop gap whilst the ibogaine experience develops and the meditation and breathwork takes hold allowing a deeper change to unfold. Whilst volunteering and working with other ibogaine providers he got to see the good, the bad and the ugly of the ibogaine treatment world. Even witnessing a death, which after some deep reflection about whether to continue this path spurred him onto a deeper understanding and study of ibogaine pharmacological reactions, ECG’s/EKGs, cardiac knowledge, medicine and first aid. Rich has had a rough and ragged journey, in many ways he learnt ‘the hard-way’ but he has learnt, coming through much and ultimately triumphing. His passion is to pass on his hard-won knowledge through ibogaine treatments and supporting techniques to people still suffering from addiction, and training people who feel ‘the calling’ to provide ibogaine. Rich’s dream is to see ibogaine recognised as the valuable treatment it is, becoming common practice for those that need it, he would love to see its use expand, even reaching into the prison system. Here he talks through some of the safety aspects of ibogaine on this video.

Rich trained for longer than 5 years under various shamans, ibogaine providers, doctors and nurse. Learning all the valuable knowledge necessary to carry out ibogaine treatments. His own personal experiences with drug addiction, including his failures, have left him in a postion to pass on this hard won knowledge. Rich works with a team of people who provide things like sweat lodges, and other plant medicine knowledge and supporting therapies that will assist this process. Here Rich gives an outline of some basic health and safety around ibogaine treatment.

 

Rich has flood dosed more than 100 people using ibogaine witnessing its benefits on many and experiencing it himself with the instant removal of his heroin addiction. Many of these people prefer to remain anonymous but several have been kind enough to leave testimonials attesting to the great service we give.
