The Man Who Cured Addiction: Howard Lotsof and the Miracle of Ibogaine

Howard Lotsof, the world's leading ibogaine researcher, will be interviewed Larry King-style in an open forum at CUNY-The College of Staten Island. For the first time he will also oversee a simulated ibogaine session, in which individuals experience all the highs and lows of an actual therapeutic dose onstage in front of the audience. Press conference and photo op immediately following. Ibogaine interrupts addiction to heroin, cocaine, morphine and alcohol with one treatment. The stunning nature of Mr. Lotsof's discoveries, and the fact that his patents for the interruption of addiction have been granted by the U.S. government, will be the subject of the presentation. This topic touches the lives of all Americans, as well as people worldwide. Audience members will also have a chance to call in with questions during this session with the legendary Mr. Lotsof. Ibogaine induces a thirty-six-hour period of insight, after which even heavy opiate users find themselves transformed psychologically, and totally free of withdrawal symptoms and drug ibogaine user cravings. Scientists the world over have been amazed by ibogaine's effects. You too will be astonished and entertained by Mr. Lotsof's descriptions of the effects of ibogaine. Come find out why it is legal in most of the world, including Canada and the Netherlands, but illegal in the country that needs it most, the United States, where each year drug addiction costs more than the War in Iraq. This is a serious presentation on a serious topic, but it also promises to be "More entertaining than Timothy Leary." Co-sponsored by the Department of English, Speech, and World Literature. # # # Press contact: Michael Christian Dept. of English City University of New York The College of Staten Island 201-656-7956 (home) 718-982-3640 (English Dept.) 718-982-3650 (office) mike@hiwrite.com FREE ADMISSION. http://hiwrite.com/ibogaine2.html
