What is Kambo

Kambo Medicine stands out as a potent and comprehensive healing modality, encompassing the entirety of the human experience: mind, body, spirit, and emotions. Utilized by tribes like the Mastés and Katukina, it serves as a Universal Healer, addressing various facets of well-being. Kambo's efficacy lies in its ability to rebalance the human biofield and address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects simultaneously. 

A key facet of Kambo's application is its capacity to dispel 'Panema', a concept denoting negative or stagnant energy within indigenous cultures. In modern contexts, where energy dynamics are often overlooked, Kambo emerges as a powerful tool to alleviate such energetic blockages, particularly in societies characterized by rapid pace, overstimulation, and disconnection.

This Frog Medicine is renowned for its cleansing properties, promoting overall well-being and fostering emotional clarity. It aids in overcoming obstacles, resolving traumas, and fostering a deeper connection to the self. Moreover, it can enhance energy levels, focus, and resilience, qualities highly valued in both traditional hunting practices and contemporary lifestyles.

The bioactive peptides in Kambo secretion facilitate not only an energetic experience but also a physical cleansing, targeting the digestive, lymphatic, and immune systems. Despite its brevity, the Kambo experience demands respect and should be approached with guidance from experienced facilitators well-versed in shamanic practices and holistic healing.

Distinct from psychoactive substances, Kambo offers transformative benefits without inducing hallucinations. Its wide-ranging applications extend beyond traditional settings, with scientific research suggesting potential treatments for various health issues, including chronic pain, mood disorders, infections, autoimmune diseases, and more. Individuals with diverse health concerns, from chronic pain to addiction, report profound positive effects from Kambo, often describing it as life-changing.

For those already in good health, Kambo serves as a catalyst for personal growth, elevating every aspect of life, from relationships to career pursuits. In essence, Kambo emerges as a versatile and profound 'medicine' for modern times, offering holistic healing and transformative potential to individuals seeking balance and vitality in their lives.

'MEDICINE' FOR MODERN TIMES
Outside of the Amazon, Kambo has been the subject of decades of scientific research. Researchers believe that the secretion (Kambo) from the Phyllomedusa Bicolor Frog could open up a new world of treatments for:
Chronic pain and inflammation
Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety
Digestive disorders
Heavy metal poisoning and mold
Lyme’s Disease and co-infections
Herpes and Epstein Barr Virus, STDs
Corona Virus and the flu
Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Epstein Barr Virus

KAMBO PEPTIDES
The main families of bioactive peptides identified in the Kambô secretion so far include:
Phyllomedusin – such as tachykinins (which also act as neuropeptides) – produce contraction at the smooth muscle level and increase secretions of the entire gastrointestinal tract such as the salivary glands, stomach, small and large intestine, pancreas and gallbladder. These are the main parts responsible for the deep purge produced by the administration of Kambô.

Phyllokinin and Phyllomedusins – both are potent vasodilators, increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier both for their own access as well as for that of other active peptides. Within this family are the medusins, which also have antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

Caeruleins and Sauvagines – They are peptides with chains of 40 amino acids with myotropic properties on the smooth muscles, producing a contraction of the colon and urinary bladder. They produce a drop in blood pressure accompanied by tachycardia. They stimulate the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland, contributing to greater sensory perception and increased resistance. Both peptides possess a great analgesic power, contributing to the increase of physical strength, the capacity to confront physical pain, stress, disease and diminish the symptoms of fatigue. In the medical field this family of peptides contributes to improved digestion and has analgesic properties against pain in renal colic, pain due to peripheral vascular insufficiency and tumour pain.

Dermorphin and deltorphin – These are small peptides composed of 7 amino acids. They are selective agonists of the opiate delta receptors, 4000 times more potent than morphine and 40 times more than the endogenous endorphins.
Ceruleins – Stimulate gastric, bile and pancreatic secretions, and certain smooth muscle. They could be used in the paralytic ileus and as a diagnostic medium in pancreatic dysfunction.

Tryptophilins – are neuropeptides consisting of 4 to 14 amino acids, which are opening up new perspectives on how the human brain works.

Adenoregulins – discovered in the 90s by John Daly’s team at the National Institute of Health in the United States. Adenoregulin works on the human body through the adenosine receptors, a fundamental component throughout all human cellular fuel. These receptors may offer a target for the treatment of depression, stroke and cognitive loss diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and also Parkinson’s.

Antimicrobial peptides: Dermaseptins, including adenoregulins (with 33 amino acids), plasticins and philloseptins form part of a family of a broad spectrum of antimicrobial peptides involved in the defence of frogs’ bare skin against microbial invasion. These are the first vertebrate peptides that show lethal effects against filamentous fungi responsible for severe opportunistic infections which accompany the immunodeficiency syndrome and the use of immunosuppressive agents. They also show lethal effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria both large+ and large-, fungi, yeasts and protozoa. Several years of research carried out at the University of Paris have shown that peptides Dermaseptin B2 and B3 are effective in killing certain types of cancer cells. Research at Queens University in Belfast recently won a prestigious award for his ground-breaking work with cancer and Kambô. Its action mechanism is produced by inhibiting the angiogenesis of tumour cells, with selective cytotoxicity for these cells.

Bradykinins – such as phyllokinins and tryptophilins. They are peptides with structure and properties similar to human bradykinin. They are important sources of scientific study as they are hypotensive and due to producing vasodilation, contraction of the non-vascular smooth muscle, increase vascular permeability, also related to the mechanism of inflammatory pain.

Bombesins – these peptides stimulate the secretion of hydrochloric acid by acting on the G cells of the stomach, regardless of the pH of the medium. They also increase pancreatic secretion, intestinal myoelectric activity and smooth muscle contractibility.
