Endogenous DMT with John Chavez

John Chavez is the founder of DMT Quest, a nonprofit organization. He is the producer of the documentary DMT Quest. He is also author of the two volume set, Questions for the Lion Tamer: Delving Into the Mystery That Is DMT. His website is https://dmtquest.org/

Here he points out that DMT, the most powerful psychedelic known, is produced naturally in the human body, throughout the brain, in quantities comparable to other neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. However, the function of DMT within the body still remains a mystery. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are typically included in native ayahuasca brews and have the effect of magnifying the impact of DMT during ayahuasca experiences – thus the psychoactive effects can last for several hours.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
