James thank you so much. My daughter has suffered from major depression disorder since she was 13. She is now 21. She is medication resistant. Has been on numerous meds over the years. Have tried TMS,the list goes on. Her youth has been stolen by Depression. As her mother I feel useless. I have researched this medicine, and believed it would help her, but would never risk acquiring it from street sources. Now I have hope! We are from Australia and I will move heaven and earth to raise the funds to take her to Rythmia. 🙏

Hi Julie, how is your daughter now? I am also treatment resistant, I had 20 rounds of ECT but to no avail. I managed to get off all of my meds thanks to this beautiful plant medicine plus I was also microdosing Wachuma. I am also in Australia. I hope you are all doing well now 🩵

She was in a trial 2 years back for ketamine, didn't help. She has had 12 rounds of shock treatment, same result. She has had 20 odd rounds of TMS, no help. My heart breaks for my beautiful,intelligent girl.

Susan Norman Rythmia is $$$$. Here we have an enlightened multi-multi millionaire running a retreat to “help” people - and charging outrageous prices. To keep out the riffraff? Who knows. I totally appreciate what he’s doing, getting the elites enlightened, but it just isn’t feasible for the average person who really need these plant medicines & teacher experiences. I’m one of these average people but have a following of about 140K on social media, so I could really reach a lot of people after meeting Mother Aya. I wish Gerry, who I LOVE, would take some of his millions and open many other retreats that are in a more “affordable” range, he has the resources. The Shipibo shamans can be found. Imagine if the general population could afford an experience like this. We could change the world. Unfortunately a huge portion of the population will be turned off when hearing a “celebrity” or uber wealthy persons saying Ayahuasca or Ibogaine brought them enlightenment. Which doesn’t help the movement at all. I hope it is something he is considering.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Now that's journalism ! James. I'm new to your channel. Very intetesting conversation and enlightening content. One thing we all know. The plant life on this earth is the real medicine for the people. Many thanks to you both. 👍
Boss interview this. What a lovely man that Gerry is.
First heard about Gerry when he appeared in a ayahuasca documentary 'reality of truth'. Very very insightful and a wonderful documentary. Very pleased he "found" himself.
Video deserves many more views! Powerful conversation with insights of plant medicine
On my bucket list now
Great content James. Something I'd not heard of before. This has me interested.

I feel resistant and afraid, yet I feel this is something I need. I did psilocybin in 1974 when I was just out of high school, and it was a beautiful experience. But this sounds like a whole different thing. Now I have to keep looking in to this. Thank you so much for this talk.

People need to get in touch with their spirituality and this does it!!! We need to know that we have a soul. So many people are not in touch with this. Human beings are so low on the enlightened pole!!! This is the answer to getting up that pole!!!! God gave us these plants. We need to do it!!

Wow, on a journey myself, so nice to read that most are watching this feeling its power, great content and to see you actually in the midst of change visible on the screen is inspiring !! along with many here though I would imagine would be shit scared though !!

Damn this has got me interested. I have been battling my own demons similar to a lot of people such as bi polar disorder and gambling and drug addiction. I wonder if this is for me.

Version entertaining and most important outstandingly interesting. Best so far.
DMT and Ayahuasca is something to approach with full awareness, care, respect and full preparation. You have to ensure that you protect yourself energetically, otherwise you will leave yourself wide open for potential possession and manipulation. It's like entering a den of snakes without any clothes on if you're not protected. If you know that then you might be doing at least some protection rituals beforehand, and meditations. Burning white sage is kind of essential before and during dmt journeys...my friend said he has seen a friend bring something back with him from a dmt world and it shook him so badly he didn't touch it again, last year it was, and he still hasn't had it since ! He took too much too soon and it shot him too fast into a place he'd never been.
Video Number 2. Monday, August 7 - 2023.
Brilliant! Was looking forward to this one! My favourite one of your videos so far. All a did was smile through it.... It brought a sence of peace. Like he said if it interests you but scares you it's for you. I would love to be able to do it. Looked into it here but like he said you need to be careful. How did you feel after it James? Do you feel the benefits? Thanks x

James I would just like to say Gary has been in a dark place for such along time and it looks like by the last hanging thread he held on and managed to turn his life back on track which is amazing and can show other people suffering in the same way mentally you can turn your demons away and have the normal life back if you really work hard at it and that’s what people like Gary Powell has proved to everyone out there just as you have turned your demons around and making positive choices within yourself that get other people with big problems they can’t deal with and see no end to through those moments and I think listening to people on your anything goes podcast proves that not only have they suffered so have you and getting it across to people out there their life’s can change 100% but they need to see the turning point for themselves anyway enough of the malarkey I could go on forever James I am a great follower of your podcasts and guess what you are definitely cut out for these shows you have got a great manner about you and also make your guest feel relaxed and no pressure I take my hat off to you james take care mate 👍🏻🏴🏴👍🏻from mr Colin Corcoran high street Edinburgh

This is taking me back to when we use to pipe DMT, That was very intense but a short amount of time. I don't know if I have the balls to do a 12-hour session lol
only found james channel couple of days ago and it brought me here, I have tried DMT a couple of times and I have thought about trying Ayahausca loads. I think the main thing i've learnt about the medicine is that it is not a recreational thing, but can be of great help to all of humanity. If only we could make all of the worlds power brokers have a few sessions. Great interview.

Great interview, thank you. I have two questions. Firstly, how does Ayahuasca differ from other psychedelics like psilocybin and lsd? I have had similar feelings of emotional soul cleansing from both of those substances. Secondly, lets say the program is very successful and you feel like a new man/woman. How would you go about integrating with a society which is full of jealousy, danger and hate? If you are not careful you could be left feeling very isolated. Thanks again, peace.

It's a psychedelic drug that makes people hallucinate, the hit lasts longer because they way they take it is in a drink, so it's like slow release, other similar drugs like DMT are quicker hits because it's smoked and released in to the bloodstream all at once. It's as dangerous as any drug of it's type. To be honest this o e baffles me, people who need mental health help that's what they should be getting, not hallucination drugs which will ultimately make them worse. I work in mental health and the dangers of these types of drugs which leave changes in the brain are a huge cause of problems we see all the time. This is being lauded as the new save yourself style hallucinogenic drug, when what people actually need is professional mental health help. Even the 2 in the video say mediation is better then taking this drug. Over the history if our species there's always been drugs of this type and I think they're probably always will be, they're the playground of those rich enough and gullible or desperate enough to participate. However the medical benefits, the same as any other drug, shuld be researched, if any of those claims are true they can be looked at to make them safe.
I’m sure I’d have a bad trip lol 😂 was it plants? Or mushrooms they gave you? Bet it was a mad experience 🤪
