About

Still Threshold 52 is an independent information resource focused on helping Australians and their support networks ask safer questions about ibogaine and related treatment pathways. Our work emphasises clear evidence, known risks, and practical navigation — not clinical advice or treatment referral.

Mission: Wattle Cipher helps Australians understand ibogaine's uncertain evidence, significant medical risks, legal context, and safer evidence-based options.

Why this resource exists

We exist because people in Australia are seeking straightforward, evidence-first guidance about complex and potentially hazardous treatment options. Still Threshold 52 publishes clear summaries, decision-oriented explainers, and practical signposts so readers can make informed choices. Our public mission explains why Wattle Cipher focuses on independent explanation rather than clinical promotion.

Our editorial approach

We assemble information from primary literature, official health guidance, and clinical registries, then present it in plain language for non-specialist readers.

We aim to source claims to authoritative records where possible — for example, clinical trial registries and peer-reviewed summaries — and we check procedural safety points against recognised standards such as those found in government health advisories and university guidance. A general example of authoritative clinical guidance is the Australian Government Department of Health (https://www.health.gov.au) which we consult when discussing policy implications.

What we cover

Content is organised around the questions people ask: evidence summaries, safety considerations, legal context, and practical navigation of services and research. For an introduction to the broader evidence-evaluation process we follow, we reference established summaries such as the Cochrane approach and general clinical evidence principles found on Wikipedia's page about evidence-based medicine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence-based_medicine).

Note: this page describes the organisation. Topic-specific content appears on our home and topic pages.

Editorial principles

  • Independence: We avoid promotional content and do not accept clinical referrals or sponsored endorsements.
  • Evidence before claims: We mark uncertainty clearly and favour peer-reviewed evidence and registered trials over anecdote.
  • Harm reduction: Practical safety information is prioritised where clinical or legal risks exist.
  • Plain language: We write for people directly affected and their support networks.

Who this is for

This resource is designed for Australians affected by substance dependence, family members, and support people who want clear, safety-focused information. We explicitly do not operate as a clinic or treatment provider; instead, we offer orientation and documented questions to bring to medical professionals.

For those exploring policy or legal developments that inform service access, we sometimes link to legislative summaries and advocacy pages; when relevant we reference external coverage such as the Texas ibogaine legislative conversation at the site documenting state bills, for context on how jurisdictions vary in their regulation: state-level ibogaine bill reporting.

How to use this site

Start with our curated topic pages for evidence summaries, then consult safety pages for clinical risk checklists. If you want to explore services, our services overview describes types of supportive services (not clinical endorsements) and links to general navigation resources on pathways to care, including registered clinical trial listings and referrals to recognised health services such as university research groups and government sites like the Department of Health (https://www.health.gov.au) for official guidance.

Independent by design

Wattle Cipher is an independent editorial resource. We are not a clinic, medical provider, or licensed treatment centre, and our content does not constitute medical or legal advice.

Sourcing & corrections

We cite primary literature, registered clinical trials, government advice, and academic summaries. Corrections are logged in article footers and are incorporated when new evidence emerges. For methodological context on evidence appraisal, see authoritative guidance such as the U.S. National Library of Medicine's clinical trial registry pages (https://clinicaltrials.gov) which illustrate how trial records are used in synthesis.

Practical notes & links

Navigation between our pages

Every major guide links to related pages inside Still Threshold 52 so readers can move from evidence summaries to safety pages and services. For example, our services overview provides contextual links back to the organisation's overview and to topic pages; explore the services page to see that structure: services overview and scope.

Authority and transparency

When we reference clinical outcomes or procedure risk, we anchor claims to registries and peer-reviewed literature. For general background on how clinical evidence is curated, readers can consult broad reference material such as Wikipedia's entry on systematic reviews (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_review), which describes the methods we lean on for summaries.
