A few years ago, someone tried to patent ayahuasca. It's a strange idea, patenting a plant and trying to make it your own... like saying "i own beetroot. i know it was around on the planet for a few million years before i was, so i didn't exactly 'invent' it, but i like it, so i think i'll take it as mine".
As strange as it sounds, however, the patent was awarded. Thankfully, the patent was challenged and, as a result, ayahuasca is, once more, a 'Plant of the Gods' instead of a plant owned by one individual or corporation.
You can read the story here:
A number of people email me to ask if the ayahuasca healing experience, such as that offered on the Magical Earth trips (http://www.thefourgates.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=39) i run to Peru can "cure" various infirmities, illnesses, and diseases.
Of course, no-one can offer guarantees of any cure, or even tell you what a "typical" ayahuasca experience might be, because so much depends on other factors: the nature of your illness, your personality, your relationship to spirit, the shamans you work with, the amount of ayahuasca you take, the number of sessions, how the ayahuasca was prepared.... and much else besides.
i did, however, recently come across this personal account of cancer healing with ayahuasca. Again, it offers no guarantee to cure all cancer sufferers or people with any other condition, but it may be interesting in itself:
