I generally agree with darkdantedevil.

I'm not the most seasoned psychonaut, but I've been around the block once or twice.

At the very least, if you follow their regime of abstaining from sex, meat, dairy, salt, and drugs, you'll know during your trip that you gave it your all, that you fully committed. I'm not saying that it would be easy to do, and I'm not saying that it physically matters, but the mind reigns supreme over the body, and that tidbit of reassurance ("I followed the shaman's advice verbatim!") can really give you an edge. Especially when you're tripping balls.
