I'm interested in hearing from those with PTSD who have been helped by Ayahuasca.
I was involved for 30 years in an extreme right-wing christian fundamental church. When I finally saw the light of shamanism and left the church I had symptoms of what a marine coming home from Vietnam might feel. I was suicidal. I lived in horrendous fear that the Christian God was going to kill me and throw me in hell. I smelled smells that weren't even there. I had horrible nightmares. I felt as if each day was miracle because it was a miracle that I made it through the previous day.
I used peyote to help heal myself. I went out into the woods, drank the liquid, and meditated. My relationship with the Divine was restored. All of the Christian guilt was gone and I was new.
I used ayahuasca several times also, although it was too powerful and I was warned by an angel to not take ayahuasca without the accompanment of an experienced shaman.
