Every article names its author. Every page in a medical section also names the clinician who reviewed it, and the date they did.

The desk

Iris van den Berg

Science journalist, ten years on drug policy and psychedelic medicine. Edits this site and writes most of it. Her working test for any claim about ibogaine is simple: who benefits if I believe this, and what would it take to check?

Marcus Adeyemi

Physician in addiction medicine. Reviews what this site publishes on withdrawal, drug interactions and the treatment pathway. Has spent enough years in opioid dependence to be sceptical of any single-session cure, and enough to know why patients go looking for one.

Hélène Mercier

Cardiologist. Reviews the pages on QT prolongation, pre-treatment screening and contraindications, the questions on which ibogaine kills people. Insists that the cardiac section state the risk in the proportion the literature gives it, not the proportion that reads well.
