Apocynaceae Apocynaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family,[1] (Greek for "away from dog" since some taxa were used as dog poison).[2] Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members.[1] The family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical rainforests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Description[edit] Growth pattern[edit] Leaves and stems[edit] There is no stipule (a small leaf-like structure at the base of the leaf stem), or stipules are small and sometimes fingerlike.[3] Inflorescence and fruit[edit] Gallery[edit] Taxonomy[edit] Distribution and habitat[edit] Ecology[edit] Toxicity[edit]

Alstonia The type species Alstonia scholaris (L.) R.Br. was originally named Echites scholaris by Linnaeus in 1767. Description[edit] Alstonia consists of about 40-60 species (according to different authors), native to tropical and subtropical Africa, Central America, southeast Asia, Polynesia and Australia, with most species in the Malesian region. These trees can grow very large, such as Alstonia pneumatophora, recorded with a height of 60 m and a diameter of more than 2 m. Alstonia trees are used in traditional medicine. Many Alstonia species are commercial timbers, called pule or pulai in Indonesia and Malaysia. Alstonia trees are widespread and mostly not endangered. Species[edit] Alstonia has five distinct sections, each a monophyletic group; Alstonia, Blaberopus, Tonduzia, Monuraspermum, Dissuraspermum. Accepted species[1] Alstonia actinophylla (A.Cunn.)

Alyxia Species[edit] [edit] References[edit] Middleton, D.J. (2000): Revision of Alyxia (Apocynaceae). Recovered Definition: Oneirophrenia - Wikipedia Persons affected by oneirophrenia have a feeling of dream-like derealization which, in its extreme form, may progress to delusions and hallucinations. Therefore, it is considered a schizophrenia-like acute form of psychosis which remits in about 60% of cases within a period of two years. It is estimated that 50% or more of schizophrenic patients present oneirophrenia at least once. Oneirophrenic patients are resistant to insulin and when injected with glucose, these patients take 30 to 50% longer to return to normal glycemia. Oneirophrenia was studied in the 1950s by the neurologist and psychiatrist Ladislas J. Psychoanalysts, such as Claudio Naranjo, in the sixties have described the value of ibogaine-induced oneirophrenia for inducing and manipulating free fantasy and dream-like associations in patients under treatment.

Cerbera Cerbera is a genus of evergreen small trees or shrubs, native to tropical Asia, Australia, Madagascar,and various islands in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.[2][3][4] Three trees of this genus are mangroves, Cerbera floribunda, Cerbera manghas and Cerbera odollam. The genus is named after Cerberus because all its parts are poisonous : they contain cerberin, a cardiac glycoside, a substance that blocks electric impulses in the body (including the beating of the heart). The genus is related to Cerberiopsis,[5] endemic to New Caledonia.

Manual for Ibogaine Therapy "Regarding the manual I would disagree with some of the exclusion criteria," says one author. "By excluding patients that are depressed or bipolar you exclude a sizable portion of the addict population. Because ibogaine's metabolites have been shown to have an antidepressant effect it would probably help these patients. Proper treatment for psychiatric conditions can be administered afterward. You will find below some of the experience we have had with patients taking antidepressants prior to ibogaine and since many patients have psychiatric conditions, we don't consider it prudent or necessary to suspend psychotropics for longer than 24 hours before treatment. Below are presented three examples of such patients. "Since most patients are depressed, a fast acting antidepressant can help in the days after ibogaine. Commenting on the exclusion criteria, another author states, "I don't think depression should be taken as a contraindication. return to contents 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. by
Researchers Have Found 15 New "Cosmic Whistles" Unlike Any We've Detected Before In Brief A team of researchers from the Breakthrough Listen initiative has detected 15 new fast radio bursts, flashes of energy that we pick up as radio chirps. All 15 of these signals came from a single source — FRB 121102, the only FRB to ever repeat — and they were at a previously undetected frequency. Extra Weird Signals Since we first started “listening” for cosmic sounds, we’ve picked up all manner of signals, from the truly remarkable to the downright strange. To date, scientists have only detected 20 or so sources of FRBs. While we know the general location of FRB 121102 — a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years away — we don’t quite know yet what generates these sounds. Out of This World The goal of the Breakthrough Listen initiative is to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, so could these 15 new FRBs be coming from E.T. phoning from somewhere? However, as much as we’d be delighted — or maybe terrified?
EROWID : Ibogaine - FAQ Erowid Note: This FAQ was not authored by Erowid. It may include out-of-date and/or incorrect information. Please check the version date to see when it was most recently revised. Ibogaine is not a substitute for narcotics or stimulants, is not addicting and is given in a single administration modality (SAM). Ibogaine, a naturally occurring alkaloid found in Tabernanthe iboga and other plant species of Central West Africa, was first reported to be effective in interrupting opiate narcotic dependence disorders in U.S. patent 4,499,096 (Lotsof, 1985); cocaine dependence disorders in U.S. patent 4.587,243 (Lotsof, 1986) and poly-drug dependence disorders in U.S. patent 5,152,994 (Lotsof, 1992). Prior to Ibogaine's evaluation for the interruption of various chemical dependencies, the use of Ibogaine was reported in psychotherapy by Naranjo (1969, 1973) and at the First International Ibogaine Conference held in Paris (Zeff, 1987). Ibogaine's actions breaks down into three component parts.
