In a dramatic turn of events that has rocked the psychedelic wellness world, Dr. Carlos Silva, Internal Medicine Specialist and medical director at New Path Specialized Clinic, has published a response video to the recent Joe Rogan Experience episode featuring guest W. Bryan Hubbard.
“The way Ibogaine was presented in that episode is dangerously misleading.” Dr. Silva warns.
What Did Rogan’s Podcast Say?
In his April episode, Rogan and Hubbard discuss ibogaine—a powerful psychedelic alkaloid derived from the Tabernanthe iboga plant—praising its effects in addiction treatment and trauma relief. Despite Rogan’s enthusiasm and Hubbard’s eloquence, the lack of medical nuance raises serious red flags in the professional community.
Contrasting Rogan’s casual tone, Dr. Silva emphasizes that Ibogaine treatment is a medical procedure, requiring cardiac monitoring, pre-screening for contraindications, and clinical oversight throughout the entire process.
“Podcasts shouldn’t guide your health decisions”, says Dr. Silva, who has treated thousands of Ibogaine patients over 15 years.
As Ibogaine gains traction in mainstream media, Dr. Silva urges the public to seek medically supervised treatment and avoid “psychedelic tourism” traps.
