Kambo Protocol's > Diet before and after

hydration is key for the full experience

  You MUST be well hydrated.. I burnt myself unnecessarily 7 times, one big one...I was not hydrated at all.. in the three times I tried Kambo, only once was I hydrated enough ... it can be scary, but truly have had the best luck since!  Oh, and even though ut did not affect me so much the last time I did it, it wiped out this nasty chest cold I felt like I was getting..

caiano:
I agree on hydration, but for what i have read in these years on kambò, this idea to drink water is not in the natives' tradition. The reports I read speak they eat a soup or broth of manioca, preferibly.
Manioca (also known as cassava,  tapioca, mandioca, yucca) is a palatable white tuber  rich mostly in carbohydrates.
Someone has more precise infos on the traditional recommendations ?

However I think that vegetal juices are more suitable  to hydrate than water, at least if this water is NOT very pure and light, without minerals in solution, because these minerals are in the inorganic form and they tend to obstruct and  engage the body in a further process of elimination. The organic water of fruits and raw herbs is instead rich of minerals in ionic form, easy to absorb by kidneys and mucoses, contributing to a good electrolytic balance and support to neurons and organs.

To drink too much water in a short time is not  very safe as commonly thought.
I feel one liter in my belly is enough to be tolerable, more creates discomfort.
And in every case i suggest it's better to drink water in small sips.

interesting theory about fruit juices.

would def be a lot more palatable. i have only experienced the 1.5-2ltr drinking of water. i understand the liquid wont be in your stomach for very long, but does feel quite uncomfortable, but can help the vomit as you feel quite queasy from the amount of water you have drank, and as the liver discharges it's bile into your stomach it is good to have it diluted in water or some sort of liquid because tastes awful.

Kambogahuasca Panacea:
I have heard that the Katukina consume a great deal before of a fermented beverage made out of corn I believe, I need to find that article. 

I consume a great deal of water within the 2 hours before treatment and find it to help a lot.  I also do 3 full enemas with very healing and purifying herbs directly before the Kambo treatment.  This really helps the fluidity for me. 

There was one time when I was drinking water before treatment, but not enough.  I was also keeping a fire and working on the fire made me sweat a lot.  Directly before the treatment I forgot to drink more water.  That Kambo treatment was really harsh and difficult, not pleasant at all to be honest.  It seemed to get stuck and wasn't allowed to flow so much.  This being said I personally opt for a lot of water.  I also see where your coming from though caiano, and I know for some the drinking of so much water is a trial in itself. 

Personally I like to be as fluid as possible.  For a while along with the enemas I was also drinking a lot of Guayusa tea (an emetic in large amounts) but I found the purges to not be as pure.  Because of this factor the Water in itself before Kambo is a sacrament to me as well.  I get it from the best sources and I never drink second rate water. 

Bless the water, it has an eternal memory.

my sense around the question of hydrating is that it is most important to listen to my body.
during my first two traditional applications in the Matses tradition i dutifully drank the 2 litres i was told to.  my body went into shock due to the amount of cold water it was having to hold.  this added to the intensity of the experience.  looking back it may have been unnecessary.  the third time i took notice of my body and drank a large glass of lukewarm ginger tea. my body clearly had had enough - and i was very firm in refusing to drink any more.  the venom was quick and thorough - the results intense but minus the 'water traumatisation' of the first two sessions.

now when i microdose i do not drink extra.  i have some herbal tea awhile beforehand, no breakfast.  and a couple of dots around 8 -10 am.  crash for a while then some broth for lunch, a cup of tea (caffeinated) and on with another beautiful day.   :)
