THE HEALING POWER OF THE JUNGLE IS GETTING INSIDE THE SYSTEM.
It seems that the natural and therapeutic use of ancestral plants, such as ayahuasca, cannot be stopped or controlled by pharmaceutical companies.
The privatization of seed is a well-known issue following Monstanto, but the problem of pharmaceutical companies patenting plants and various natural products is not something new.
As a matter of fact, there are many complex cases connected to the Amazon, a place that has an endless number of natural assets that fight many diseases and that also have caused regrettable situations, such as the murder of 14 shamans at the hands of unknown individuals. This leaves many people suspicious, given that these shamans had major conflicts with the pharmaceutical companies that get their raw materials from Amazonian plants. These men, being protectors and experts in this ancestral wisdom, become an obstacle for them to take this knowledge and patent it.
The Ayahuasca patent expired on the 17th June, 2003 and cannot be renewed. But, the question remains: why did the International Plan Medicine Corporation patent the use, processing and commercialization of Ayahuasca?
Some experts say that it is the best antidepressant that exists in the world.
Several controversies arise. Why are some substances typified as drugs? Is it possible that they are treated as such until they are patented and converted into medication, so that they cannot be used in their natural form, as is the case of marijuana or San Pedro that have scientifically proven healing properties.
This is not the case of Ayahuasca, but socially it is still considered a drug and cannot be consumed naturally.

PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO REALIZE THE VALUE THAT AYAHUASCA HAS IN ITS NATURAL FORM AND WITHOUT PHARMACEUTICAL CONTROLS PARTICIPATE IN RETREATS THAT ARE SPECIALLY PREPARED FOR THESE EXPERIENCES WITH 100% NATURAL AND PURE AYAHUASCA MADE BY SHAMANS FROM THE JUNGLE.
Do not delay this decision. Once you have tried it you will “know” why it is so powerful.
