Treating drug addicts with Ibogaine
    #17115962 -

Okay. I have written this on my homepage now:

"Tabernanthe iboga is a plant traditionally used by people belonging to the Bwiti religion in mid-west Africa. Iobagine, which is the active alkaloid of this plant, has been shown to stimulate the k-opioid receptor. Stimulation of the k-opioid receptor has been shown to downregulate the reward system in the brain which is involved in addictive behavior. Megadoses of ibogaine have however been shown to increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Drug addicts should therefore be pretreated with aspirin to prevent blood coagulation while being treated with ibogaine. Treatment clinics should also assist drug addicts that have lost their ties to society to integrate harmoniously back into our society."

What do you think?

Would a question on the semantics of the word 'should' pursuade you to adjust your syntax?

"The neurotic person's self is split between an idealized self and a real self. As a result, neurotic individuals feel that they somehow do not live up to the ideal self. They feel that there is a flaw somewhere in comparison to what they "should" be. The goals set out by the neurotic are not realistic, or indeed possible. The real self then degenerates into a "despised self", and the neurotic person assumes that this is the "true" self. Thus, the neurotic is like a clock's pendulum, oscillating between a fallacious "perfection" and a manifestation of self-hate. Horney referred to this phenomenon as the "tyranny of the shoulds" and the neurotic's hopeless "search for glory".[14] She concluded that these ingrained traits of the psyche forever prevent an individual's potential from being actualized unless the cycle of neurosis is somehow broken, through treatment or otherwise."-Wiki

he red flagged "should" and went off on a tangent...
labels and triggers will do that to a person (whether neurotic or not - who is to say?)
