Dana,

I don't understand how we can be reliably informed on whether ego death or
the lack thereof can be determined on a receptor level, particularly in human
subjects, using today's technologies. Concerning preclinical research, how
do you make such an inquiry as to ego death of a rat, mouse or monkey?
However, if you or others can provide information on any of these matters I
would await same with excitement.

My question was directed not to cause but, to seek a confirmation from those
who have experienced both ibogaine and LSD as to the presence or absence of
ego death as part of the experience of the respective substances.

Thanks for any light you can shed on these matters.

Howard
