The Landmark Study
Stanford 2024:
The Ibogaine Study That Changed Everything
In 2024, Dr. Nolan Williams and his team at Stanford University published a landmark study in Nature Medicine. They treated 30 special operations veterans — Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Green Berets — with ibogaine in Mexico. These were men who had exhausted every VA treatment available.
The results were unlike anything seen in psychiatric research in decades: 88% reduction in PTSD symptoms. 87% reduction in depression. Significant improvement in cognitive function, including in veterans with traumatic brain injury. Effects that persisted at the one-month follow-up.
Dr. Williams described ibogaine as "the most dramatic effect I have ever seen in psychiatry." This is not fringe science. This is Stanford, published in Nature Medicine, funded in part by DARPA.

The Medicines
What the Research Shows
For Veterans Specifically
Ibogaine
The most studied medicine for combat PTSD and TBI. The 2024 Stanford/UCSF study of 30 special operations veterans showed 88% reduction in PTSD symptoms, 87% reduction in depression, and significant improvement in cognitive function — results that no existing VA treatment has come close to matching.
Legal in Mexico. Trump Executive Order (April 18, 2026) created a Right to Try pathway for veterans.
Rosarito, Mexico — Pō a Ao programs available now.
MDMA-Assisted Therapy
MAPS Phase 3 trials showed 71.2% of veterans no longer met PTSD diagnostic criteria after 3 MDMA sessions. MDMA reduces amygdala reactivity (the brain's fear response) while increasing trust and emotional openness — creating a therapeutic window to process trauma that would otherwise be too overwhelming.
Schedule I federally. Legal for therapeutic use in Colorado. Australia approved for PTSD (2023). FDA review ongoing.
Available through licensed practitioners in Colorado and internationally.
Psilocybin
Studies at NYU, Johns Hopkins, and Imperial College London show significant reductions in PTSD, depression, and moral injury. Psilocybin increases neuroplasticity for weeks after a single dose — the critical window for integration and rewiring trauma responses.
Legal for therapeutic use in Oregon (2023) and Colorado (2024). Decriminalized in several cities.
Licensed therapeutic centers in Oregon and Colorado. Ceremonial context available in Arizona.
Ketamine
The only FDA-approved psychedelic-adjacent medicine. Rapid reduction in suicidal ideation — within hours. Available legally at ketamine clinics in all 50 states. Spravato (esketamine) is covered by VA in some cases.
Legal in all 50 states at licensed clinics. Spravato FDA-approved.

Voices
From Those Who Have
Been Through It
"I did three tours. I came back with TBI and PTSD that the VA couldn't touch. After ibogaine, I slept through the night for the first time in 11 years. I'm not saying it fixed everything — but it opened a door that had been locked shut."
Army Ranger, 3 tours
TBI & Combat PTSD
"My husband came back from his second deployment a different person. I spent four years trying to reach him. After his psilocybin retreat, I got my husband back. I don't know how else to say it."
Military spouse, Arizona
Supporting a veteran
"The VA gave me 11 different medications. I was a zombie. One ibogaine session did more than 8 years of VA treatment. I'm not anti-VA — they do what they can. But this is different."
Marine, 2 deployments
