Miguel Castro's Ibogaine and DMT Treatment Journey
At [00:05], Miguel introduces his treatment experience after arriving at New Path on December 17. He explains that he underwent both ibogaine and DMT treatment.
Miguel came to the program looking for help with depression and anxiety. His testimonial focuses on the emotional changes he experienced afterward as well as changes in several habits and cravings that had become part of his daily life.
His story represents one individual's experience with these treatments. It should not be interpreted as evidence that ibogaine or DMT will produce the same psychological or behavioral effects for another patient.
Feeling Nervous Before Psychedelic Treatment
At [00:15], Miguel talks about the apprehension he felt before treatment. He says he was nervous because psychedelic treatment was something he had never experienced before.
That uncertainty was an important part of his journey. Despite feeling nervous, Miguel decided to continue with the program because he was seeking help for the depression and anxiety he had been experiencing.
Patients considering psychoactive treatments should understand the proposed substance, possible psychological and physical effects, medical risks, screening requirements, and level of supervision before deciding whether to proceed.
Miguel's Experience With Depression and Anxiety
At [00:25], Miguel explains that depression and anxiety were the primary reasons he came for treatment.
At [00:35], he describes how he felt afterward, saying that he felt more at peace and calmer.
These statements reflect Miguel's personal perception after treatment. Depression and anxiety can have many causes and require individualized medical and psychological evaluation. Ibogaine and DMT should not be presented as established replacements for standard mental health care.
Reported Changes in Alcohol and Smoking Cravings
Miguel also discusses patterns involving alcohol and smoking. At [00:45], he describes how he previously craved alcohol when he felt depressed because he used it to offset negative feelings.
He reports that after treatment this alcohol craving was gone. Miguel also says he no longer felt a desire to smoke.
His comments describe an individual experience rather than a guaranteed treatment response. Substance-use recovery can involve behavioral, psychological, social, and medical factors, and continued support may still be important after any intensive treatment program.
Miguel's Change From Six or Seven Cups of Coffee a Day
At [00:50], Miguel explains that he previously drank approximately six or seven cups of coffee each day.
Following treatment, he says his desire for caffeine had substantially decreased. This change was another part of the broader shift in cravings that Miguel describes during his testimonial.
The Support Miguel Received From the New Path Team
Support from the clinic staff is one of the strongest themes in Miguel's testimonial. He specifically mentions Dr. Silva, David, Steve, and Adia and describes the team as remarkable.
At [01:40], Miguel reaches the end of his testimonial and recommends the location to people seeking relief. His recommendation follows his earlier praise for the staff's support and guidance throughout the process.
For patients researching ibogaine treatment, the qualifications of the medical team are particularly important because ibogaine can carry significant physical risks, including effects on heart rhythm. Medical evaluation and appropriate monitoring should be discussed before treatment.
Miguel's DMT Experience With Isaac the Shaman
Miguel's program included a DMT component in addition to ibogaine. At [01:15], the testimonial transitions from his comments about staff support toward his experience with the DMT portion of the program.
Miguel specifically identifies Isaac the Shaman as the person who supported him during the DMT treatment and describes that experience positively.
The video does not identify the exact form, dose, or specific DMT preparation used. For that reason, it should not be assumed that a particular DMT substance or protocol was involved beyond what Miguel himself states.
Why Miguel Says New Path Felt Like Family
At [01:25], Miguel's testimonial moves into his description of how the New Path team treated him personally.
He says the staff made him feel like family and that he believed they genuinely cared about him rather than viewing him simply as another person passing through the program.
For Miguel, this personal support was an important part of the overall treatment experience. His recommendation was based not only on how he felt afterward but also on the guidance and human connection he experienced during his stay.

What Patients Can Learn From Miguel's Experience
Miguel's story centers on his personal experience after seeking treatment for depression and anxiety while also dealing with alcohol, smoking, and caffeine cravings. He describes feeling calmer, more peaceful, and less interested in substances and caffeine after completing the program.
He also places significant emphasis on the people involved in his care, including Dr. Silva, David, Steve, Adia, and Isaac the Shaman. Their support contributed strongly to the positive way Miguel describes his stay at New Path.
