At the end of the Amazon 00:43am on 23 Sep 2008 Sorry, chacruna isn't the MAOI it's the DMT, the ayahuasca vine is the MAOI. :)
At the end of the Amazon 00:38am on 23 Sep 2008 I do enjoy your shows Bruce, well done. I really hope that your interest in the shamanic side of things will help in some way to counteract the ignorance and oppression that the British and other governments show against shamans, both abroad and in the UK. Like the 'witches' of the Christian persecutions, those of us with knowledge and reverence for plant sacraments live under the shadow of persecution. I only hope that raising awareness of the as yet unscheduled visionary sacraments will not lead to their scheduling and further oppression of natural spirituality.

As for the subject of Ayahuasca, I would like to point out firstly that there are strict dietary rules for the use of an MAOI such as Chacruna. If these are not followed, then a person can get SICK, just like they would do if they were being prescribed an MAOI by their doctor and did not follow the dietary regime. I really hope that silly kids watching your programme don't start fooling around with Ayahuasca without taking the necessary precautions, causing kneejerk government reactions against it. Ayahuasca is an amazingly enlightening religious sacrament, an experience during which you can literally see god with your own eyes, and learn how you must change to become a better person. This is why it has been legal in Brazil for decades and is now legal in Holland and Spain. However, in other countries practitioners are forced to keep their spirituality a secret. Government studies showed that Ayahuasca use by the Santo Daime church in Brazil turned the members into better people, which is why it was legalised there.

Here's hoping for an end to spiritual oppression! :)
