I officially banned Kambo Peru for not being transparent with his practices and for a very dirty background history. I gave him plenty of opportunities to answer the questions I had and he answered none of them and only accused me of trying to keep people from getting Kambo.
Here is what I know from an extremely reliable source...
Also, I notice on facebook that you are friends with Medicine Kambo. This is Jaun Chavez. He is an ex Monsanto employee working out of San Martin. They had a company there called Seare that were involved in a biopiracy controversy a while ago. He's been writing to my friends and clients offering them cheap kambo and telling them that because it comes from a lab it is free from pathogens unlike normal kambo. He also says that the Indians are very cruel to the frog but he is not. The photos on his page look well dodgy, lots of latex gloves, plastic trays and test tubes - not the kind of environment I like to see the frog in and it doesn't even seem to be a bicolor. amir says the same - Looks like some strange mutation!
Jaun told me that he wears gloves because of DB fungus but that doesn't affect humans and he also says that wearing gloves means that his kambo is pure! Figure out that logic! I'm not happy about him at all so I've asked everyone to unfriend him and block him.
my concern too - profit from kambo harvesting should go to the tribes who use this medicine not to people like Jaun whose comments prove that he knows nothing about the frogs beyond what he copies from other sites. I also have an issue with him messaging my friends. He contacted several of my fb friends who were also friends with _________ including a friend _____________. He tried to sell her kambo telling her it was pathogen free and scientifically harvested in a hygenic lab without using the cruel techniques that the indians used. When she declined his offer, he halved the price. She passed his email onto me and when I first wrote to him asking about his operation, he sent me a link to a non existant website and nothing else - I thought it was strange that he should be trying to sell kambo to my friends but didn't want to communicate with me when i told him I was a _________.
Since then I've done a bit of research on him with the help of another ________ friend. He posts on lots of cancer websites and says that his company is called Biotech Peru or Kambo Peru. We checked out Biotech Peru and its not him and Kambo Peru doesn't exist. Then he said he was called kambo peru on fb - again didn't exist, then he said his new website was kamboperu.com - guess what? - didn't exist. Then a friend contacted me and told me about medicine kambo on fb.
I left words out where it could potentially give away sources. Here's a bit more from another source...
for everyone receiving this message, I will point out that this Medicine Kambo is certainly someone to be weary of for several reasons - one of them being his use of latex gloves to handle the frog (completely unnecessary, and contrary to native use), and the use of pietry dishes, again not in alignment with kambo practice. _______ has been in limited conversation with him, but he is refusing to share who he is, where he works, his purpose and relationships. Best option at this point is to unfriend and possibly block. He is misleading people and mistreating frogs. We do not want to support this behavior. ~
Just to let you know, there is someone on Facebook calling themselves Medicine Kambo who is involved in some very strange practices with our frog.
It appears he has already requested your friendship, and that you have friended him. He has done this via our facebook without knowing us, knowing you, or responding to our requests to know more about him, his practice and his knowledge - which is very suspicious. We highly suggest that you unfriend and block this individual.
We don't want to encourage his practice nor behavior. Thank you.
Love and blessings to you all. xxx
There you have it now you all have been informed.
