Kambo - Phyllomedusa Bicolor

All of the above names refer to the waxy secretion of a tree frog living in the northwestern part of the Amazon rainforest (in Colombia and on the border between Peru and Brazil).

Due to the presence of nine extremely powerful bio-active peptides, kambô is one of the strongest natural antibiotics and anesthetics found in the world and one of the strongest, natural ways to empower our immune system.

The properties of kambô peptides cover a wide range of potential medical uses: 

• Treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s,
• Depression, migraines, blood circulation problems, vascular insufficiency
• Organ diseases
• Skin and eye issues
• Fertility problems in women and men
• AID’s, hepatitis
• Cancer and much more
• Other interesting medicinal properties of this secretion are its anti-inflammatory effects
• The capacity to destroy microbes and viruses and heal infections

According to the indigenous people, kambô is first and foremost a Spirit of the forest who is to be treated with respect. 

When combined with the water that is drunk before the treatment, an alchemical transformation happens and old toxins are released through vomiting or urgent defecation. This cleansing process works not only on a physical level but also on a spiritual one. The frog, connecting us with our natural wisdom, mirrors our negative habits, showing us what we should avoid and what we could do in order to improve our condition.

During the kambô treatments, we may receive insights and messages.

RESEARCH

Scientific research on the secretion of this frog started in the 1980’s. Nominated for the Nobel prize, Italian scientist Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome wrote that this secretion contains a ‘fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequaled by any other amphibian’.

So far, researchers have found nine bio- active peptides that have a potent effect on the gastrointestinal muscles, gastric and pancreatic secretions, blood circulation, and on the stimulation of the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland.

Among the several dozen peptides found in kambô, up to 7% are bio-active.

 They bind with receptor sites situated in the brain, triggering chemical reactions in the human body.

• Phyllomedusin strongly affects intestines, bowels and contributes to deep purging.
• Phyllokinin and phyllomedusin are potent vessel dilators, increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. This facilitates access to the brain of these two, as well as the other active peptides. 
• Caerulein and sauvagine cause a fall in blood pressure accompanied by tachycardia. They stimulate the adrenal cortex and the pituitary gland, contributing to heightened sensory perception and increased stamina.
• Both of these peptides have a strong analgesic effect, enhance endurance, increase physical strength and in general, enhance the capacity to face pain and stressful situations. 
• They possess medical potential as digestive aids, and have demonstrated analgesic effects for those with renal colic, pain due to peripheral vascular insufficiency and cancer pain. 
• Dermorphin and deltorphin are potent opioid peptides 4000 times stronger than morphine and 40 times stronger than endogenic b-endorphines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the effects & benefits of this medicine?

Short term:

• A state of alertness
• Good mood, enhanced resistance to tiredness, hunger and thirst
• The capacity to easily concentrate and focus, and a still mind which can last for several days or weeks.

Long term:

• Kambô empowers the immune system, overcomes fatigue and improves one’s state of health.
• With kambô, we have the opportunity to wake up the body to its full natural potential. 
• The people who regularly receive this ‘vaccine’ tend to not get sick and have plenty of energy.
• Restoring a natural balance, it prevents the onset of complaints induced by viruses. Even cancer does not have a chance to grow, in some cases

What is "Panema?"

• Panema is said to be the stored energy that is purged from the body in the form of bile during the session.
• Removing the panema is the main reason to take kambô - which is translated as bad luck, depression, laziness, sadness, or a condition attracting difficulties and disease.
• Removing the cloud of ‘panema’ around our energy field, we become more open to receive from Spirit. 
• With kambô, a natural wisdom is taking over our healing process. We know without thinking what we have to do or not to do in a certain situation. We become able to drop unhealthy habits and fixed ideas. In my experience, ideas are often the main obstacle, blocking us from our healing. Kambô affords us the energy we usually don’t have but that we need for our spiritual path.
  

How often should a person take this medicine?

• A traditional treatment implies 3 kambo sessions within a lunar cycle (1 month)
• For best results and continued health, it is advisable to receive kambô regularly.
• In the case of heavy diseases, addictions or accumulated toxins from pharmaceutical medicines, it may be helpful to double the treatments for awhile. In this way, the cleansing effects of the kambô treatments will build on one another and will last longer. 

How does it work to help the body?

• During a treatment, kambô immediately scans a person’s energy field and starts to work exactly where it is needed. 
• The process is different for everyone and the course of treatment should be planned accordingly. I have witnessed some people getting healed in one treatment, especially those with eye or ear problems.
• For people with addictions, results can also happen fast. 
• Complicated cases may take longer.
• We may call this frog secretion a medicine, but it doesn’t actually work as a typical medicine nor as a drug. It simply wakes up the body’s organs, endocrine system and defense systems to their natural functions. 

How does it feel during the process?

• The ‘medicine’ is applied by burning tiny holes in the skin with the tip of a glowing stick.
• The effect is immediate, as it runs in the body through the lymphatic system.
• The body becomes warm and the heart beats faster than normal until the person vomits the water they had been drinking in advance. All this lasts about 30 minute
