So this was back in 2013, who had taken Ibogaine for addiction, and they were telling him that it really helps them.

So Alan figured like, okay, let's study this because he was on the hunt for something that could really help people struggling with opioid addiction.

So what did he do?

So he like went out and found a clinic, an Ibogaine clinic in Mexico that was willing to team up with him and do a study on Ibogaine together.

Oh, was it the same one that Retz went to?

Yeah.

No, it was in Tijuana, but it was a different clinic.

This one had been around for a while.

It was one of the first clinics to treat people for addiction with Ibogaine.

And the clinic kept all this contact information of the people who had gone there.

So it was kind of perfect because then Alan and his team could get in touch with them and get them to fill out a survey about what happened.

Well, so they got 88 people to do the survey.

Here's what he found.

80% of them said that it was like way better or gone?

if it was like just finding the people where it worked.

Okay.

So in this study, they reached out to 285 people and only 88 of them got back.

So yeah, valid concern.

But there have been other studies too that didn't seem to have this issue to me.

Uh-huh.
