Combat Veteran Recounts Healing Journey from Trauma with Ibogaine

When Jay Kopelman, a Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel, returned from several tours in Iraq, he was mentally unstable. He was short-tempered and angry. He felt guilty. And he didn’t know how to relate to his family. He sought help.

“I was diagnosed at the VA with multiple traumatic brain injuries and severe post traumatic stress disorder,” he said.

Jay tried therapy, ju jitsu, therapy, sleep medications, and antidepressants, but he wasn’t able to feel back to his former self. He drank heavily.
