Hi Hunter,

I want to ask for your advice.  In the past couple of months my competition
in the ibogaine community has been posting libelous comments on review
sites.

They are outrageous allegations that most people won't take seriously but
it's damaging to have that kind of info online.

I am afraid it will scare away somebody like Miguel or Megan if they come
across them.  What should I do?

If you search for the reviews on google please don't click on the actual
negative reviews. It only gives them weight according to Google's
algorithm. I attached screenshots of what this person is posting.

This is how I responded online to these postings:

"This posting is ridiculous and if it weren’t such a serious matter it
would almost be comical. To all who read this, let me first respond by
explaining a bit about the ibogaine community.  In the last 15 years,
the popularity surrounding ibogaine as an efficient way to detox has
grown and continues to do so very rapidly. As a natural response to a
spike in demand, many people attempt to start their own clinics with
the sole purpose of making money.  Often times, they will use such
tactics as the one you see here; which is to outright lie in an
attempt to dismantle the more professional and competent competition.
All of these allegations are 100% fraudulent and downright offensive.
Unfortunately, many Ibogaine clinics will take this approach because
they would rather try and hurt the competition than raise the quality
of their own offering.  My clinic is one of the best ibogaine clinics
in the world.  I would encourage a reader considering treatment to get
in touch with us or one our 100’s of satisfied and grateful patients.
You can do so by reaching out to our intake department through our
website.

I generally don't respond to these type of tactics but I have been
advised to do so by my team.  I can assure the reader that comments
like this do nothing but inspire me to continue to improve my clinic
and our patients' experience and outcomes.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.
