TRADITIONAL USE

Kambo, which comes from the secretion of the Giant Monkey Tree Frog, has been used for thousands of years in various regions of the Amazon jungle to clear away Panema which is often described by the indigenous people as a dark cloud of energy or negative thoughts surrounding a person’s aura. Panema can manifest as a result of past experienced traumas, heavy emotions and ancestral patterns. When an individual is experiencing Panema they may feel weighed down, depressed, disconnected, out of alignment and emotionally heavy.

It is believed by many that when you allow Kambo into your being you are allowing it's essence, wisdom and strength to scan your energetic bodies, and to collect and purge out physical, mental and emotional toxins that no longer serve you or may be causing blockages resulting in some form of dis-ease. Also, traditionally kambo is used as a hunting aid among the indigenous people as it is believed to increase strength, stamina, perception and to neutralize body odor thus becoming less detectable to their prey.

THERAPEUTIC USE

Although the effects of Kambo may appear adverse in nature we now know that all the symptoms can be attributed to the pharmacological activity of the peptides found in Kambo, and thus the symptom-complex can be directly related to its pharmacological effects. Kambo peptides work on various functions of the human body and brain and may be a possible treatment or preventative measure for various conditions, some which may include:

  • chronic pain
  • inflammation
  • cancer
  • fungal infections
  • viruses
  • microbial infection
  • protozoal infection
  • fertility problems
  • hormonal imbalance
  • blood circulation
  • organ disease
  • lyme disease
  • autoimmune disorders
  • hepatitis
  • vascular insufficiency
  • anxiety, depression, ptsd & addiction
  • low energy levels

PEPTIDES FOUND IN KAMBO

Peptides, which are found naturally in the human body are short chain amino acids which play a vital role in our brain and body's cellular processing. All cells in our bodies come accompanied with peptides and are responsible for ensuring that our cells continue to carry out the function they were designed to do. Introducing peptides into our bodies can re-awaken cells which have begun to slow and are no longer carrying out the process they were designed to do and help to restore our bodies to homeostasis.

  • Caeruleins Family – Phyllocaerulein

    Phyllocaerulein stimulates the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland while causing gall bladder contractions and secretion of gastric and pancreatic juices. Phyllocaerulein and phyllokinnin contribute to hypotensive effects of kambo and why some people’s blood pressure drops, causing temporary fainting.

    A neuropeptide which produces strong smooth muscle contraction (heart, gut and vascular), reduces blood pressure, modifies satiety, sedation and thermoregulation. It is also a potent analgesic. During a Kambo treatment, it is this substance that is largely responsible for nausea, vomiting, palpitations, sweating and abdominal discomfort.

  • Bradykins Family – Phyllokinin

    Phyllokinin interacts with the bradykinnin system, which causes relaxation of smooth muscle. It is also a vasodilator and may influence blood-brain permeability. This peptide causes a rapid drop in blood pressure.

  • Tachykinins Family – Phyllomedusin

    A neuropeptide which strongly affects the salivary glands, tear ducts, intestines, and bowels. It is a powerful Vasodilator which stimulates gastric secretions and contributes to violent purging and defecation. The fast dilation of the blood vessels causes the ‘rushing’ or ‘pounding’ sensation that Kambo sometimes produces.

    Phyllomedusin is a peptide that interacts with the tachykinin system in mammals. This system is important for regulating the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Phyllomedusin also causes the rapid contraction of intestinal muscles and is a potent vasodilator, which may also lead to an increase in vascular permeability through the blood-brain barrier.

  • Bombesins Family - Phyllolitorin, Rohdei-Litorin

    neuropeptides that are active in the central and peripheral nervous system, stimulates gastric acid secretion and smooth muscle contraction.

  • Sauvagine

    Sauvagine influences cortico-releasing-hormone system and the pituitary-adrenal axis, which is important for modulating stress, mood and impulsive behavior. Sauvagine also causes intense tachycardia, or increase of heart rate.

  • Sauvagine Family – Dermorphin

    Dermorphins and Deltorphins are opioid-like peptides contained in kambo with Dermorphins having a high binding affinity for Mu opioid receptors, and Deltorphins having a high binding affinity for delta opioid receptors. Both of these classes of peptides have strong analgesic, pain-blocking properties and have a potency of up to 1000 times that of native endorphins and 30-40 times the potency of morphine.

    Despite their potent opioid receptor activity, neither dermorphin or deltorphins show evidence of dependence or abuse potential. This may be attributed to the strength of the peptides reducing the necessary dosage. In one human study , dermorphin outperformed morphine as a post-operative pain drug. Dermorphin has been used illegally in horse racing for its ability to block pain in injured horses. Deltorphin shows evidence of having gastroprotective effects that are mediated by interaction with the vagal nerve implying that this opioid peptide may have neuroregulatory properties.

  • Dermaseptin Family – Dermaseptin

    The Dermaseptins may be the most fascinating of all the peptides found in kambo. Dermaseptins have incredible antibiotic activity and have been found to be effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Studies have explored Dermaseptins ability to destroy on contact pathogens such as E.coli, salmonella, gonorrhea, herpes viruses, HIV, candida albicans, and even malaria-causing protozoans. Dermaseptins have a promising future as medications given their ability to kill pathogens selectively without harming animal cells.

    Dermaseptins are also extremely effective at killing cancer cells and inhibiting their growth. Some dermaseptins such as adrenoregulin have also been found to affect adenosine agonist activity and may increase permeability of the blood brain barrier, making it of interest to drug delivery development.

  • Deltorphin Family – Deltorphin

    Dermorphins and Deltorphins are opioid-like peptides contained in kambo with Dermorphins having a high binding affinity for Mu opioid receptors, and Deltorphins having a high binding affinity for delta opioid receptors. Both of these classes of peptides have strong analgesic, pain-blocking properties and have a potency of up to 1000 times that of native endorphins and 30-40 times the potency of morphine.

    Despite their potent opioid receptor activity, neither dermorphin or deltorphins show evidence of dependence or abuse potential. This may be attributed to the strength of the peptides reducing the necessary dosage. In one human study, dermorphin outperformed morphine as a post-operative pain drug. Dermorphin has been used illegally in horse racing for its ability to block pain in injured horses. Deltorphin shows evidence of having gastroprotective effects that are mediated by interaction with the vagal nerve implying that this opioid peptide may have neuroregulatory properties.

  • Tryptophyllins

    biological activity somewhat obscure but recently found to be highly potent against the yeast Candida Albicans.

  • Adenoregulin

    (also named Dermaseptin B2) is a 33 amino acid peptide that interacts with the adenosine receptor, a fundamental component in all human cell fuel and has now shown to be highly effective in killing cancer cells.

MORE KAMBO SCIENCE

WORKING WITH KAMBO

Kambo is applied through minor burn marks on the surface layer of the skin removing only the epidermis creating an entry gate of which the kambo secretion is applied to. Typically, 3-4 gates are opened in an introductory treatment while starting with a single test point as a safety precaution. The client will be asked to drink .5 – 1 litre of water prior to the secretion being applied and may be asked to drink more throughout the treatment if required. Clients may or may not purge during a kambo session, either way one will still experience most of the benefits of allowing kambo peptides into the body as the magic in kambo lies in both receiving kambo peptides and in the purge.

Upon applying the kambo, clients will very quickly begin to feel heat moving throughout the body accompanied by a noticeable acceleration in heart rate and even slight throbbing in the head. Sensations in the lips, ears and tongue are common along with light-headedness and general discomfort. Flu-like symptoms will eventually follow, and one may feel the need to purge. After about 20-40 minutes the intensity of the experience will subside, and the client may wish to rest for 30 minutes or so. Soon after the client will return to a normal state and may even begin feeling the benefits of kambo right away. It is important that clients speak with their practitioner about effectively integrating their kambo experience for maximizing benefits. Sananga & Rapeh’ may also be offered throughout the session.

  • I had the honor of having Carson guide me through two Kambo sessions, my first experiences with this ancient and powerful medicine. He was a caring and considerate guide, ensuring that I was properly prepared for the ceremony, and making me feel comfortable before, during and after. 

    The second session was incredibly profound and powerful, and later in the day I felt calmer and more grounded than I had in a long time. My mind was focused, and my body felt relaxed and strong.

    I would highly encourage you to have a conversation with Carson if you are considering experiencing Kambo.”

  • Thank you so much again Carson. I was feeling a little shaky and tired this afternoon but now I feel fantastic! Aside from the blessing of the Kambo medicine I want you to know how much I appreciate your facilitation. Your energy was calm and reassuring and I felt very well cared for throughout the process. And damn do I feel like a bad-ass with these dots on my ankle and arm!!!

  • It’s been two weeks since my Kambo session with Sacred Frog Kambo in Kelowna and I have since experienced an intensely positive shift in my life. During the ceremony I felt a release of toxins down to a cellular level and no longer have a desire to consume harmful substances. Kambo provided the re-set I needed to completely abstain from alcohol after struggling to do so for a very long time. It was an honor to witness Carson in his element and answering his call to a higher purpose. I felt comfortable, cared for and very safe. I would recommend him and Kambo to anyone seeking transformation. I have immense trust for the process and for his gift as a facilitator.

    Tammy S.
