I'm more likely to believe a story of spontaneous integration than one which was forced by a doctor or other third party. I've heard of, though never known personally, a very few systems who said they integrated spontaneously and it stuck.
We've also known systems who could temporarily integrate at will if they had to. I think we did that ourselves earlier in life, although it was not pleasant. Perhaps for some groups it can be part of a natural process or cycle-- I think it wasn't natural for us, which is why it was unpleasant and people started to try to break out after a while.
