Piri-piri airibenqui (en la etnia machiguenga)
En la Amazonía hay varias plantas de la fam. de las Ciperáceas que llaman piri-piri con propiedades medicinales específicas, al uso de las diferentes etnias amazónicas. El piri-piri, como todas las plantas que tienen tan amplio uso medicinal, es considerado mágico; dicho de forma más propia y acorde a su cultura de selva, estas son consideradas plantas maestras. Por encontrarnos en territorio de la etnia machiguenga, suponemos este es el que ellos llaman piri-piri airibenqui. Todos los piri-piri Cyperus spp. son hierbas que pueden alcanzar más de 1 m de altura. El piri-piri airibenqui es el que utilizan contra enfermedades de la vista y, en general, para mejorar la visión; usan el jugo del bulbo directamente sobre los ojos o bien lo cuecen y lo toman como agua del tiempo, con el mismo fin medicinal.

Los temas de discusión / MARIA SABINA (DOCUMENTAL)
« on: May 01, 2016, 06:46:05 AM »
María Sabina Magdalena García (Huautla de Jiménez, 22 de julio de 1894 -- 23 de noviembre de 1985) fue una curandera de la etnia mexicana mazateca, ejerció su profesión principalmente en el poblado de Huautla de Jiménez ubicado en la sierra Mazateca, al sur de México, en el estado de Oaxaca.

Luego de que sus conocimientos tradicionales sobre el uso ceremonial y curativo de los hongos alucinógenos, que ella llamaba "niños santos", los cuales crecen en su región, fueron difundidos por el banquero y micólogo amateur Robert Gordon Wasson, María Sabina fue convertida en una celebridad nacional e internacional, sobre todo entre las personas que pugnan por el uso abierto y legal de sustancias psicoactivas

Maria Sabina - Spirit Woman
Maria Sabina was a mushroom curandera. This is a beautifully insightful and poetic documentary about shamanism through mushrooms.

"I am the woman who was born alone
I am the woman who fell alone
I am the woman who waits
I am the woman who seeks
I am the woman who looks inward
I am the woman who looks under the water
I am the sacred swimmer
Because I can swim in greatness.

I am the moon woman
I am the woman who flies
I am the meteor woman
I am the woman of the sandal constellation
I am the woman of the cane constellation
I am the star woman
God
Because I've gone to these places since the beginning.

I am the woman of breeze
I am the woman of fresh dew
I am the woman of dawn
I am the woman of twilight.

I am the woman who blossoms
I am the woman who was uprooted
I am the woman who cries
I am the woman who whistles
I am the woman who makes noise
I am the woman who plays the drum
I am the woman who plays the trumpet
I am the woman who plays the violin
I am the woman who cheers
Because I am the holy clown.

I am the sunstone woman
I am the daylight woman
I am the woman who makes things revolve
I am the woman of heaven
I am the woman of good
I am the pure woman
I am the woman of spirit
Because I can enter and I can leave the kingdom of death.

I am the woman who draws out
I am the woman who cleanses
I am the woman who cures
I am the woman who sets right
I am the woman of herbs
I am the woman wise in language
Because I am the woman wise in medicine."
-Maria Sabina

Black Cohosh is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), found to be non-estrogenic and anti-estrogenic at receptors in the hypothalmus, bone, liver, brain, and arteries primarily.

Synthetic SERMS are usually taken with prohormones and steroids by bodybuilders to minimize effects from excess testosterone being converted to estrogens.

Usually SERMs are estrogenic at some receptors and anti at others and the point is to get the benefits of estrogen and none of the negative effects by blocking the receptors from the free-flowing estrogens in the body. The fact that they bind at estrogen receptor sites still makes them estrogens (they still have estrogenic effects).

Natural black cohosh doesn't. It can be used all the time and to greater effect.

Black cohosh binds at these estrogen receptor sites but doesn't cause any estrogen-like effects and is anti-estrogenic, which would mean it would clean any natural estrogens in your body from effecting you by blocking the receptors. Like those artificial estrogens/hormone disrupters like those that are leached from plastic water bottles.

N-Methylserotonin is found in plants, animals, and fungi. These include the plants, Actaea racemosa (black cohosh)[1] and Zanthoxylum piperitum,[2] the Green and Golden Bell Frog, Litoria aurea,[3] and Amanita mushrooms.[4] The compound binds to several serotonin receptors, including the 5-HT7 and 5-HT1A receptors, with high affinity (IC50 ≤ 2 nM) and selectivity, and displays agonist activity; besides its direct interaction with the serotonin receptors, N-methylserotonin also acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.[1]

Quote
United States
N-Methylserotonin is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States,[5] but could be considered an analog (of Bufotenin), in which case, sales or possession intended for human consumption could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act.

Florida
N-Methylserotonin is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.[6]


Another name for N-Methylserotonin is Norbufotenine! Bufotenin (5-HO-DMT, N,N-dimethylserotonin) is a psychedelic.

Harmine and Other MAOIs / Harmine and Exceptions to Synthetics Rule
« on: April 27, 2016, 09:11:56 PM »
For now talk of naturally derived chemicals in their pure form will be allowed on the forum so long as the pure chemical is legal.

Harmine, harmaline, possibly tetrohydroharmine, and maybe harmalol are vastly superior to rue and caapi tea which cause nausea and confusion.
Pure harmine is on par with traditionally used entheogens like mushrooms and lsd.

Experimental Research / Kambo + Lymphagogic Herbs
« on: April 27, 2016, 05:58:15 PM »
We know that Kambo works on the Lymphatic system.
I was thinking of a complementary modality in which herbs which treat the lymph
are taken before kambo.

Deep breathing also gets the lymph moving.

Herbs that treat the lymph system include Cleavers, Poke Root, Marigold, and Blue Flag.

Poke Root

Quote
Poke root is indicated in the treatment of the lymphatic system. Supporting this system is basic in most anti-cancer treatments as well as cleansing programs for a whole range of health problems. As an alterative, Poke root plays a role in helping to maintain the healthy functioning of the lymphatic system. It is especially indicated in mastitis, where it can be used internally and as a poultice. It is also an indicated remedy in the treatment of adenitis.

Changes can be induced in lymphocytes by certain plant mitogens, one of the most important being phytohaemaglutinin (PHA). It is termed a polyclonal T-cell activator because it reacts with the T-cell surface nonspecifically (i.e. not as an antigen) and produces the same series of cellular events as does antigen, locking onto its specific surface receptor. Unlike the situation with antigen stimulation where only a small fraction of the cells are sensitive, PHA transforms a major portion of the T-cells. Additionally, some B-cells are affected although their response appears to be T-cell dependent. The picture is emerging that helper T-cells are preferentially stimulated by PHA> Poke weed activates both T- and B-lymphocytes.

It appears from the above discussion on the effect Poke root has on lymphocytes that its beneficial role in cancer is a legitimate one. It may be surmised as well that a number of other opportunistic infections and diseases, such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may also be beneficially treated with Poke root as one of the therapeutic agents. In lymphatic disorders, Poke root is often used in conjunction with Cleavers or Blue Flag.

Poke root has a wide range of uses and is very powerful so it is used in 1/4 of the normal doses. Poke root:

is a remedy for the lymphatic system where it promotes lymphatic drainage and circulation. It cleanses, clears toxins and fights infections. It is recommended for breast lumps and cysts and it:
  • relieves lymphatic congestion,
    swollen lymph glands,
    swollen breasts, and
    mastitis.

Cleavers

Quote
The primary benefits of cleavers revolve around this herb's ability to tone the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for the drainage and cleansing of fluid from cells, tissue, and organs, as well as for part of the body's natural anti-microbial activity, which occurs in the lymphatic glands. Therefore, lymphatic well-being is a foundation for overall well-being. Drinking a cup of cleavers herb tea, blended with marigold or echinacea, is a perfect remedy for swollen glands, tonsillitis, or any other ailment that would benefit from lymphatic drainage support like respiratory infections. Cleavers have also been traditionally used as a lymphatic tonic to alleviate ulcers and tumors, possibly because of the stimulation of fluid drainage.

Cleavers herb tea can be drunk up to three times a day during healing. It blends well with poke root, echinacea, and marigold to tone the lymphatic system

Blue Flag

Maintains and cleanses lymphatic system and reduces fluid retention.


Calendula / Marigold

Reduces lymphatic congestion and swollen lymph glands.

"Its potential preventive effects are due in part by its enhancement of chemotaxis" (movement of cells in response to chemical stimulus)", phagocytosis" (the ingestion of a smaller cell or cell fragment, a microorganism, or foreign particles)", and increased total lymphocytes and T helper cells when extract G 115 or an aqueous extract is given in 100 mg doses twice daily for 4-8 weeks (PO in human clinical study)."
