Subject: ibogaine and methadone presentation
Dear Dr. Dole,
I will be presenting during the NAMA workshop at this years AATOD conference
in Washington, DC on the subject: "Methadone and Ibogaine: A comparison
of
Patient Status and Advocacy Issues".
As you may recall I was a patient in your system between 1970 and 1973 and
later went on to perform work with ibogaine upon which we had a number of
personal meetings at Rockefeller University.
It is my opinion and the intent on my presentation to discuss the advantages
of both the early period methadone patients and the early period ibogaine
patients compared to later patients that followed.
As a member of NAMA's Board of Directors I had the opportunity to review the
NAMA grant application for which you wrote a letter in support where you
reviewed the benefits of the relationship of early methadone providers and
patients but, recognized that "it is too late to return to the practices
of
thirty-five years ago,..." It is somewhat the same for ibogaine.
I would very much like to meet with you at your convenience to discuss early
methadone patient status issues as well as, my hope that you may have some
photographs that I can transfer to slides for use in my AATOD presentation
that can historically document the period. These may be photographs of
yourself, Dr. Nyswander, Rockefeller University, or patients with their
authorization or other subjects you may consider relevant.
The presentation and photographic material would then be placed in an
archive on the Dora Weiner Foundation web page for historical purposes after
the AATOD conference.
I hope this meets with your approval and I am looking forward to be able to
meet with you hopefully by mid February so that I can incorporate your
interview and photographic material in my presentation.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter and thanking you personally
for all of the good work you have done to benefit patients including myself.
With warmest regards,
Howard
