Source: Indiegogo (via ICEERS) Publication Date: September 1, 2013 The source link is the new crowdfunding page for the new project created by Dr. Brian Rush (Dept. of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada). Quote:We are initiating a research project of a topic and magnitude that has never been done before. The Ayahuasca Treatment Outcome Project (ATOP), will take place over several years, beginning this autumn, and will compare, contrast, and determine the efficacy of Ayahuasca, a millennia old plant medicine indigenous to the Amazon jungle.

As an international team of experts with extensive clinical and research backgrounds and personal experience with ayahuasca, we will draw upon our collective experience to develop a cutting edge research protocol that involves thorough follow-up and a longitudinal assessment of treatment efficacy.

The team is being led by Dr. Brian Rush, Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada and Scientist Emeritus at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Canada. Other team members include Dr. Dartiu Xavier da Silveira and Renato Filev at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Brasil; Anja Loizaga-Velder, Director of Psychotherapy and Research, Nierika A. C., Chalmita, Mexico; Dr. Jacques Mabit and Dr. Fernando Mendive from Takiwasi Centre for Addictions Treatment and Research on Traditional Medicines, Tarapoto,Peru; Dr. Marcelo Mercante, visiting scholar at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brasil and Dr. Luís Fernando Tófoli, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil. Members of healing centres across Latin America, as well as researchers and curanderos from Europe, US, Costa Rica, and Australia are also invited to be part of the beginning stages of this research.
(...)
We are aiming to raise $22,000 to cover the cost to bring up to 30 researchers, healers, and other staff to be able to attend the first research design meeting in Tarapoto, Peru, in the Autumn of 2013. The goal will be to meet face to face, to collaborate, to share information, and to ultimately design the research protocol for the project.
The centre in which this meeting will be held, Takiwasi, is an established centre of plant medicine that has been assisting people with addiction and mental health challenges, for 20+ years. "The Menu is Not The Meal." - Alan Watts

Interesting. Suppose it about time. Thanks for posting this Vodsel. "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha

As a healer who has 29 years ago in Mexico developed the Bio-Cosmo-Energy treatment (see www.alloneness.com/treatment) I was now in 2013 interested to know more about ayahuasca and its possible effect on DNA and a possible interruption of cell-memory in case of former accidents etc. This has brought me in connection with native ayahuasqueros in the region around Tarapoto. I had not looked for any center what works with ayahuasca at a big (and often expensive) scale compaired to the living costs in Peru; I looked for the original and heartful ways of the natives. To my surprise I heard about Takawasi as a center what seems to have strange practices: Its founder claims to get from the native ayahuasqueros, where he has originally learned everything about ayahuasca and gotten many plants for the biological garden of his Takiwasi-center for free, multiple kilos of collected plants without any payment, just for the payment for the transport to deliver them to him. Takiwasi-Center writes about itself in its website to be a place of "low costs", but it charges adults for 13 days (without room and board) Soles 4000 = US$1480. That means in clear text: Takiwasi with its french-peruvian founder, Dr. Jasques Mabit, is a place where exploitation of the knowledgeable native ayahuasqueros is the practise while charging people who come for treatments to the center quite a high amount of money (= double exploitation). Above of it: Takiwasi writes about itself to be a non-profit organisation..... ...a good label for tax-purpose....

About time indeed. Looks promising as well. Am looking forward to what the outcome of the research will be.
