03 · Claims and context
Match the claim to the evidence and the person’s situation.
No provider can responsibly promise an outcome. That is particularly important when a person is seeking help connected with alcohol addiction, exploring ibogaine for PTSD treatment, or looking at therapy-oriented PTSD approaches. These are distinct situations, each requiring careful medical and mental-health consideration.
Ask providers to separate what they know, what they believe may help, and what remains uncertain. A useful question is how long an effect is expected to last and what a person should do next; claims about how long ibogaine lasts should not be used to imply durable recovery without continuing support.
Mexico’s setting also deserves practical attention. Ask which aspects of care are handled on site, how records and medications are managed, and what continuity looks like once someone returns home. The ways Citrine Keel organizes practical evaluation questions can help turn broad concern into a more disciplined comparison.
