I lived with Ayahuasca shamans in a few different locations.... I even knew a formally trained Ph.D doctor who was also a shaman, who used natural medicines primarily in conjunction with crystals and other electromagnetic healing techniques... I watched this doctor heal cancer within a day using electromagnetic therapy and shamanic techniques.... I have taken the medicine myself a number of times myself and have experience... it is profound medicine, it will give you what you need to heal so long as you use it in the right way.... I also advocate LSD and Mushrooms as ways to glimpse profound spiritual states and communion with nature.... especially when used ceremonially or during mediation!
The realization is that the shamans in the amazon who are giving ayahuasca have healing techniques which are beyond that of western medicine, which is primarily limited to the use of external aids or substances aside from basic health advice which is natural......
The shaman can just sit with someone and take them into other realms of consciousness, even without external aids... you just sit there in trance and it happens, it is far outside of the boundaries of western medicine which survives only by destroying other life forms through the use of synthetic medications or aids which deprive the natural balance of life.... as a shaman I would tell you that western medicine itself is dangerous, and that using prescribed medications or entrusting your health to anyone outside of yourself or a qualified holistic healer is probably going to kill you in the long run, because you choosing a system which is based off of death instead of the forces which are harmonious to life..... all synthetic medications are coming from the destruction of the natural world and the rape/pillage of the earth....
If you want to do ayahuasca you could check out the Temple of the Way of Light which is a center in Peru where there are some number of qualified shamans who are giving dedicated ayahuasca ceremonies, which are female healers... in any event, it is a good medicine...... it helps you... you have to be in balance with nature, the reason people get sick on ayahuasca is because you are out of balance with nature.... Ayahuasca is a medicine because it shows you these imbalances, and brings them to the surface... if it kills you, then it is time to die... it is just like this... it won't kill anyone who is harmonious with nature..... it is only the people in the west who get sick from life that need ayahuasca to die.... it is like this....
The reality of course, is that it will most likely only make you vomit so long as you are intelligent and void the foods which are going to cause reactions which include anything containing Tyramine.... I can find a link for you of a list of foods which promote reactions... advertising links removed by Moderator, the second link here has more scientific explanations of the interactions with the MAOI chemicals and such which are contained inside of the brew..... it is best to eat very simple for some number of days before hand... at least 1-3..., or even fasting is ok... juice/water.... the traditional diet says plain fish without seasoning, yucca root, plantain, and rice are good foods which are indigenous to the regions in the amazon where it is growing.... normally never more than 4 foods combined, no seasonings, and all from the local areas which are prepared.... Of course most of the amazon is busy being butchered and slaughtered as we speak..... I have a non-profit charity which I am using as a vehicle to alleviate such things you can donate money by private messaging me....
In any event, most of these tribes which practice the natural Ayahuasca traditions were systematically eradicated by people who chose to feed their life into a machine instead of nature.... touche' computer.... eating the soul alive, gotta love it!
