KAMBO/SAPO TREATMENT

WHAT IS KAMBO?

It has potent effects on the whole human body, mind and soul. Traditionally it is used for:
* Healing and cleansing of the body
* Physical strength and stamina
* Spiritual and mental clarity
* Luck and zest of life.

​

WHAT IS KAMBO USED FOR?

Kambo is used for various reasons. First of all, it is a natural detox treatment, so it cleanses the body in a purgative way, strengthens the immune system and activates self-healing within the body. Kambo is a natural antibiotic, antiviral and anti-fungal and thereby kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is anti-inflammatory, cleans the blood and can improve general well-being. 

Studies show that some peptides in the Kambo can be very effective in dealing with Alzheimer, Parkinson's Disease, infertility, hepatitis, cancer, AIDS and other serious conditions. Although there is no doubt of the wide range of uses of Kambo, it is necessary to find the right treatment specific to each person and condition.

There has been no modern clinical research done on humans to illustrate its curative nature, however, there is a large number of people that have experienced the potency of the Kambo. Kambo can help many people with a variety of conditions including allergies, skin diseases, asthma, rheumatism and joint disorders, chronic pain and infections, malaria, diabetes, hepatitis, epilepsy, depression, post-chemotherapy, disease prevention and many more.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 

The Kambo secretion based on human use was first researched and described by western scientists John Daly, Vittorio Erspamer and their team, published in 1992. Vittori Erspamer already published an article based on his studies of peptides in Phyllomedusa skin “a huge factory and store-house of active peptides” in 1985.  

Those bioactive peptides are also the reason why the pharma industry is so interested in it, developing a new medication from one of the peptides could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and there are already several patents existing on some of the peptides.  

Here are some of the peptides found in the secretion:

* Adenoregulins

* Bradykinins

* Tachykinins

* Qcaerulein

* Sauvagine

* Tryptophyllins

* Deltorphins

* Dermaseptins

* Dermorphins

* Phyllocaeruleın

* Bombesins

THE FROG 

The Kambo/Sapo frog lives in the trees and generally have no natural enemies. Kambo frogs are nocturnal and can be easily located by imitating the mating sound. The frogs are particularly active during the rain and around the new moon. Sometimes one would need to climb a high tree to get the frog. Kambo frogs are tranquil and do not try to escape, so it is very easy to move them onto a large wooden stick or a branch from where they can be transported to the place where then the extraction happens.

SECRETION EXTRACTION  

No Kambo frog is ever hurt during the extraction nevertheless, the whole act is a little uncomfortable.

Four wooden sticks are put into the ground shaping a small square. The frog gets tied with four separated strings by all of his extremities to the wooden sticks in a way so that it does not move. 

To make the frog excrete the poison he needs to feel in danger, so keeping him tied on the strings makes him excrete a white, slimy secretion on his legs and the side of his body. This substance is scraped off with a small piece of wood and then transferred to another flat wooden stick, on which it later dries out and can last for a long time.  Once the extraction is done, the frog is released into freedom and his natural surroundings.

LEGEND

A Kaxinawá tribe legend tells that the Indians of the village were very ill and the Shaman “Kampu” had done everything that was possible to cure them. All medicinal herbs known were used, but none helped his people’s agony. Kampu then entered the forest and under the effect of Ayahuasca, where he received the visit of the great God. He brought in his hands a frog, from which he took a white secretion, and was taught how to apply it. Returning to the tribe and following the guidelines that he had received, the Shaman Kampu was able to cure his tribe. After his death, the spirit of Kampu has started living in the frog and the Indians began to use its secretion to stay active and healthy.
