Kambo Background Kambo medicine is sourced from Amazonian tree frogs (phyllomedusa bicolor) - commonly known as monkey frogs. The indiginous shamans of the Amazon are the only people who should collect Kambo. The Matses tribe was gifted Kambo to help them survive their hostile environment. They claimed that it helped them hunt, heal, and improve their vision. Kambo is obtained by gently scraping the venom off the back of the frog. It’s important that when you order Kambo to make sure that it was ethically sourced and the frogs weren’t injured. Kambo Administration Kambo medicine is administered typically on the...

Ayahuasca (B caapi) does more than allow someone to process DMT. It’s therapeutic properties are independent of DMT. “They have some very interesting properties on their own, and I think beta-carboline chemistry and pharmacology may be a new frontier, a so far neglected frontier, that is gonna attract a lot more attention. For example, tetrahydroharmine, it turns out, one of the major components of Ayahuasca, it has the properties of an SSRI, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, as well as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.” - Dennis McKenna @ 4:30 Banisteriopsis Caapi elevates serotonin levels “Tetrahydroharmine upregulates the serotonin transporters.

The “Ayahuasca diet” or “dieta” stems from two places. First is the traditional idea of purity. For instance, shamans frequently fast and abstain from excess fat, spicy foods, heavy seasoning, caffeine, salt, citrus, and even sex before an Ayahuasca ceremony. They prepare physically in this way to calm their mind and preserve energy for their journey. The other consideration results from Tyramine interacting with MAOIs - which have caused hypertensive issues in some people. However, some Ayahuasca groups like the União do Vegetal in Brazil don’t believe the risk is significant and don’t follow a specific Ayahuasca diet. Ayahuasca Diet...
