A few of you were asking about this and to be sincere I had such a transformative experience utilizing these therapies I wanted to share. Hopefully they can guide some of you along your path as well if you so need them. To the Mods, this is not meant to be the discussion of narcotics nor regarding the abuse of illicit compounds. I fully understand this may be a grey area, for that I apologize.

Pick Up – Monday, February 30th
Disembarkation – Friday, February 3rd
Day One
Pick up is completed from a Marriott hotel near San Diego Airport. Two vehicles will arrive to pick your cohort up at approximately 10AM. Drive to the San Diego/Tijuana border takes approximately 20 minutes. From there it is an additional 30-minute drive to a private residence in a secure side of the city. Ambio runs three different residences. You will be assigned your room, everyone will get together for a walk through of the schedule and a meet and great with the staff.
Lunch will be served, and everyone will get into a singular large SUV and drive approximately one hour to a Temescal (sweat lodge). Lodge includes a ceremony from indigenous persons before, during and after. The sauna is approximately 190 degrees. You will do four sessions, each of 20 minutes in length. During this experience you will consume a “Salvia” drink. After completion back to the residence – after showering IVs will be administered and EKGs.
Day Two
Labs completed in the morning. Unsure of the data they are collecting, no labs were ever presented to me. Blood and urine collected. Day starts with breathwork, an explanation of Ibogaine and modalities to control your experience, massages and then the ceremony.
You will write a list of things you wish to destroy, things you want answers for and which you want to be better. Everyone will meet at the fire pit in the back yard. We present to one another what we wish to share and then throw the list into the fire. The first dosage of Ibogaine is ingested (capsules). Second dosage is consumed one hour later, third is thirty minutes after and the fourth is fifteen minutes subsequently. Everyone will then go to the treatment room together.
Day Three
Grey Day – IVs administered in the morning and Reiki is performed.
Day Four
Yoga is performed in the morning – This is a light movement session focusing predominately on breath work through various ranges of motion. Group circle where the 5MEO is explained in depth by the provider. 5MEO is then utilized in the residence. One individual at a time with the facility owner and medical staff.
Day Five
Departure Day – Leave the residence shortly after breakfast.
Professional Background
35-year-old male: 18 years in the special operations community. Diagnosed with “Operator Stress Syndrome” in 2019. Multiple TBIs resulting in a tangible decline of neurological function ranging from cognitive decline, ability to process time, memory and CNS patterning issues.
Personal Background
I have never struggled with depression but over the past several years I have had a deep sadness about me. Zero diagnoses of PTSD and I sincerely do not believe this is an applicable diagnosis to myself. Not a rough childhood but I was an “accident”, and it was apparent I was unwanted throughout my childhood. This is something I have struggled with even throughout my adult life. This need to prove myself to those that simply were not interested. Thinking of my parents I wouldn’t cry but frequently tear up and have a pain deep under my diaphragm with a deep sense of loneliness.
My wife and I married in 2020 after seven years of dating – we have a relationship that I cannot put into words. She is my best friend, the love of my life and hopefully soon the mother of my children. I became addicted to her, however. When with her all my issues, pain, etc. would cease. When I was not with her, I would feel akin to how I would when thinking of my parents. Almost as though she was a drug I needed.
Personal Experience w/ Narcotics + Psychedelics
In high school 2004-2005 I utilized marijuana no more than four times. Outside of that I have no experience utilizing any form of illicit substance to change my mental status except for in 2022 I utilized a THC gummy three times in totality. Any use of opiates was for surgical procedures, prescribed by a physician and stopped when no longer necessary. No addiction issues or withdrawals. I have zero experience with psychedelics.
History with Spirituality
In all sincerity I never understood it. I considered myself a loose follower of Judeo-Christian ideals more focused on my behavior than anything else. When thinking of spirituality, I would think of the weird lady with her crystals reading palms.
