Heart Medicine: A True Love Story - One Couple's Quest for the Sacred Iboga Medicine & the Cure for Addiction, Paperback

Two longtime lovers: spray paint artist, Chor Boogie, and yogini and performance artist, Bast.

One shocking drug relapse--after more than a decade clean.

Then the disheartening discovery: 90% of narcotics addicts relapse in the first year in our Western medical system.

The lovers navigate the treacherous labyrinth of addiction and ultimately chose to pursue treatment with an obscure indigenous African sacred plant medicine called iboga, used since ancient times for shamanic initiation and spiritual healing, and proven to have powerful addiction breaking effects. It sounds too good to be true, but it's seems to be worth the try, considering the alternatives.

This medicine is only available well beyond the borders of the United States. There is hope for healing, if they can both make it to the shaman in time.
