Why this resource exists
Plain Compass 76 exists to make clearer the systems of care, the practical questions, and the safety-focused practices surrounding ibogaine in Mexico. Our mission is simple: reduce confusion by publishing plainspoken, evidence-aware material that helps people and families weigh risks and options.
Our editorial approach
We collect and summarize publicly available information, registry entries, clinical literature, and official guidance to chart what is known and where gaps remain. When describing procedural or safety-related topics we cite authoritative sources; for instance, we reference established clinical registries and peer-reviewed summaries as part of our vetting process, not as endorsements.
We also cross-link to practical pages within the site where readers can find structural details; our overview pages link naturally to our explanation of offered programs on the services page, and readers arriving from program pages can follow an editorial thread back to our mission statement on the main site at Plain Compass 76’s site.
How information is sourced and vetted
Content is drawn from a mix of registries, peer-reviewed literature, and institutional guidance. For background on evidence-synthesis methods we reference high-level resources such as the National Library of Medicine's PubMed guidance on literature reviews (nlm.nih.gov) and general clinical trial registration norms described by the World Health Organization (who.int/clinical-trials-registry-platform).
What we cover
We organize material into thematic sections: care pathways and dose discussions, safety considerations, practical resources for travel and aftercare, and a short FAQ. Our pages aim to explain care processes and point to primary registries or documents rather than to give procedural instructions.
Editorial principles
- Independence: We are not affiliated with clinics or providers and publish without commercial influence.
- Risk clarity: We prioritize frank explanations of known harms and uncertainties.
- Plain language: Material is written to be usable by non‑specialists.
- Evidence humility: We note limits in the data and avoid overstating conclusions.
- Informed choice: We aim to support decision-making, not to direct clinical care.
Independent by design
Cochineal Thread is an independent information resource, not a clinic, medical provider, or licensed treatment center. Its content is not medical or legal advice.
Readers sometimes ask where to look for directories of providers; we preserve links to existing registries when present on program pages, and where programs list external directories we link to those pages directly — for example, institutional listings are sometimes referenced on sites such as Wikipedia's medical regulation overview to provide context on licensing norms.
