Could Natural Treatments Have Helped Amy Winehouse?

This is not an endorsement to venture forth and consume psychedelics. But there is unquestionable promise in the careful and judicious use of some psychoactive plants for the treatment of drug-related problems. Combined with other lifestyle approaches including counseling, detox, diet and exercise, the psychedelic drugs may eventually occupy a distinguished spot in the full pharmacy of addiction treatment options.

The value of ayahuasca is that it can produce a spontaneous TRANSFORMATION of some of “initial conditions” in our Life Algorithms. These “initial conditions” include hardwired beliefs about “how life is,” and they play out again and again in our lives. I call these repeating patterns “stress fractals.” And yes, if the stress fractals associated with the drug life-style are transformed, the person can experience that their cravings have dropped. Other methods that can produce a spontaneous transformation include breathwork (such as Holotropic Breathwork and re-birthing), sweat lodge rituals, and anything that “heats up the emotions” enough combined with the intent for healing.
I’ve developed a system to rapidly decode these stress fractals, and to facilitate a “conscious transformation” of the codes. Clients have dropped cravings from chocolate to crystal meth .. and alcohol and sex. Further, they see themselves in a different light, stress is reduced and they are happier. While such a shift CAN occur spontaneously in the context of therapy, usually it does not — because 1) they are not using a model that produces transformation (instead it produces better COPING) and 2) the intensity of emotion necessary for rewiring these beliefs is not reached. Ayahuasca and the ceremony in which it is used is about healing. I’ve known people who have experienced it. However, the results are not so much about the substance that is used. Results derive from intent for healing combined with intensity of emotion … and it helps to understand the model of transformation.
