Entheogenic Medicine Documentaries
« on: January 29, 2013, 04:10:38 AM »
Stepping Into The Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0ommNRJeMQ
STEPPING INTO THE FIRE is a feature length documentary that tells the story of a seemingly successful man living an unfulfilled life and his journey towards truth and happiness. What if the thoughts, values and philosophies that guided our lives were at the root of our misery and there was ancient and time honored knowledge that could truly heal our soul. This compelling film provides insight into ancient shamanic practices from deep in the Peruvian jungles, and a thought provoking commentary on human spirituality and wellness.




The Jungle Prescription
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/84400/Canadian_Doctor_Uses_Ayahuasca_to_treat_addiction/
The Jungle Prescription is the tale of two doctors treating their addicted patients with a mysterious Amazonian medicine rumored to reveal one's deepest self.
Dr. Gabor Maté has a revolutionary idea: to treat addicts with compassion.Dr. Gabor Maté had a revolutionary idea: to treat addicts with compassion. His work as the resident doctor in Vancouver’s Portland Hotel – a last-chance destination for lifelong drug abusers – has been courageous, but incredibly frustrating. Maté hears of an ancient medicine beyond his imaginings: one that could provide his patients with a solution. Its name is ayahuasca: the vine of the souls.
Deep in the Amazon jungle, French doctor Jacques Mabit is using this medicine to treat hardcore addicts. Mabit runs a detox centre in the Amazon (Takiwasi or “The House That Sings”), using the plants and methods of traditional medicine. Ayahuasca is a visionary formula that unlocks emotional memory; causing life-changing catharsis in those who drink it. The reported success rates for curing addicts at Dr. Mabit’s detox centre are quadruple the average.




Metamorphosis
http://youtu.be/KlKAXTMlIQk
A film documenting the experience of a group visiting an ayahuasca clinic in Peru. The clinic, Blue Morpho, www.bluemorphotours.com, was opened by an American from California who went to Peru in his early twenties to become a shaman. This is one of the best documentaries I've seen on the topic thus far.




Manifesting The Mind
http://www.documentarywire.com/manifesting-the-mind
Bouncing Bear Films is proud to announce our first documentary film. This film is the first in a series of three films discussing various aspects of shamanism. This first film, Manifesting the Mind, is a broad look at psychedelics in general. Why are psychedelics so brutally suppressed in our culture? What exactly are some of the psychedelic plants and chemicals and how can they benefit us? With philosophy and insight from Dennis McKenna, Daniel Pinchbeck, Alex Grey, and many others, this film is not to be missed by anyone interested in psychedelics and shamanism.




Shamanism - Other Worlds - Ayahuasca Documentary
http://youtu.be/wE0sDm5ba-4
Ayahuasca is used largely as a religious sacrament. Those whose usage of ayahuasca is performed in non-traditional contexts often align themselves with the philosophies and cosmologies associated with ayahuasca shamanism, as practiced among indigenous peoples like the Urarina of Peruvian Amazonia. The religion Santo Daime uses it.

While non-native users know of the spiritual applications of ayahuasca, a less well-known traditional usage focuses on the medicinal properties of ayahuasca. Its purgative properties are highly important (many refer to it as la purga, "the purge"). The intense vomiting and occasional diarrhea it induces can clear the body of worms and other tropical parasites, and harmala alkaloids themselves have been shown to be anthelmintic. Thus, this action is twofold; a direct action on the parasites by these harmala alkaloids (particularly harmine in ayahuasca) works to kill the parasites, and parasites are expelled through the increased intestinal motility that is caused by these alkaloids.




IBOGAINE - Rite of Passage
http://youtu.be/r-Ap5lyYcI0
A Revealing documentary about the most promising treatment modality for drug dependance available. It is the only substance we know, which is capable of blocking acute withdrawal in opioid addicts as well as cocaine and alcohol. Although the FDA decided in 1993 that Ibogaine showed enough signs of being an effective tool in the treatment of addiction, money is the problem; this natural occuring molecule cannot be patented and is not a maintenance drug with addictive properties; reason for the pharmaceutical industry not to invest in its development... Educate yourself about this unique tool!




Tribe: African Vision Quest (Bruce Perry)
http://youtu.be/t2OqhuJm22o
The Babongo of Gabon used to be known, derogatively, as pygmies. They're still treated as second-class citizens by their neighbours. But their expertise and knowledge of the forests is unique and their use of Iboga, a powerful hallucinogenic which lies at the heart of Babongo culture, makes them famous throughout Gabon.




Shamans Of The Amazon: A Timeless Journey
http://youtu.be/w8V9t5smjh0
A personal account of filmmaker, Dean Jefferys, returning to the Amazon with his partner and one year old daughter.

They journey deep into the heart of the Ecuadorian rainforest to meet two Amazon shamans to learn about and experience the ancient hallucinogenic ayahuasca ritual.

The film brings to the viewer an intimate and fascinating look at the shamans of the Amazon, their culture and their rituals that are fast disappearing.




African Iboga: Ibogaine for Addicts Unmasked
http://youtu.be/-quxBMHTh9E
Documentary on the healing properties of a African psychedelic..




Natural Healing - Ayahuasca Documentary
http://youtu.be/XcGydRblvBU
This exciting documentary deals with a natural medicine/drug called Ayahuasca .. which is a mix of leafs and roots - used by indigious people for natural healing, rebalancing all body/soul/systems and "Ego-issues" and known for a very long time. No factory, no lab...pure nature!

Great list of films . . .
I feel an obligation (while not looking for controversy) to bring to peoples' attention that the shaman at the center of this film - stepping into the fire - was recently arrested and charged with murder of an 18 year old from California who reportedly died during a ceremony while at the  retreat center. The shaman led the authorities to where he admittedly buried the body...
google search - the web is full of stories on this case.

Was that the story where the shaman added mapacho tobacco to the ayahuasca as is common down there but with no tolerance, overdosed the person with nicotine? That's a shame as the guy behind the story of stepping into the fire really seemed to be a good person who had seen the light of karma and embraced it. I hope he and his retreat continue to flourish.


EDIT: hmm, i read about the story and it doesn't seem to state the actual cause besides an excessive dose. even their website is closed. my guess would be nicotine poisoning or less likely tropanes. Unless there was a complication with mixing prescription pharmaceuticals.
Whatever the cause, that really sucks.

Same guy (Shaman), honestly I never liked him although intrigued since I heard this interview (HIS EGO IS HUGE!!!)

http://in-a-perfect-world.podomatic.com/player/web/2010-07-07T22_40_30-07_00

In our first bilingual episode, experiential journalist Rak Razam interviews Mancoluto of the Chimbre Shamanic center in Puerto Maldornado, Peru. Mancoluto claims to be one of only five master shamans in the world and descendant from the legendary Chavin shamanic civilization that existed for 100,000 years in Peru, long before the Incas. Listen as Mancoluto recounts the secret history of Antediluvian times and the shamanic connection to Atlantis, Lemeria, and back through the stars... This controversial interview explores human concepts of "love" versus higher universal powers the beings Mancoluto believes possess; our inter-dimensional nature; and Mancoluto's plans to catalyze "future humans" with these higher abilities those with the right genetic heritage once possessed in ancient times, and is now becoming available to us all...

Heaven Earth
http://youtu.be/MG4pDYTuC_c ft. Pablo Amaringo & Alan Shoemaker
The film displays all day activities of Percy, a peruvian healer and another western ayahuasquero, named Ron. Both live near Iquitos and work with ayahuasca.
Participants of ayahuasca ceremonies, touroperators and --guides, as well as western visionquesters recount episodes of their journeys and internal imagery. A growing global pop cultural phenomenon, swinging between psychotherapeutic healing procedure and spiritual sell-out.
Mestizo- and gringo herbalists recount episodes of daily life and their career histories. Amazonian tourists and western visionseekers report about interior spaces, motifs and passages of their journeys.
Representatives of the local tourism industry talk about guided tours, the psychoactive drink ayahuasca, vanishing indigenous cultures, spiritual sellout triggered by "experience consumerism" and also discuss excursions into the surrounding rainforest of a jungle metropole.

Iquitos - a city affected by the change of time, fluctuating between tradition and modernity - a locus of cultural transition facing the impact of globalization and its sequences.
