General Discussion / post-kambo and hot/cold water on fresh scars?
« on: May 04, 2015, 10:46:21 AM »
Later this month I'm planning on self-applicating kambo. At the same time, half-a-week after that point, I had plans on being at a hot springs, and using the water (including potentially the very cold and the very hot pools). Is there a conflict here with either the physical open wounds being exposed to the water, or just unpleasant sensations for myself?

General Discussion / kambo soon after aya?
« on: April 08, 2015, 11:17:24 PM »
I am planning on partaking in an aya ceremony. While I prefer to have kambo before the aya to put me in a clearer state for the medicine, the current logistics arranged are such that there is a great kambo ceremony offered the day after (and another one four day after) the aya ceremony. Would there be a particular benefit that I may not be away of to having the kambo the day after the aya?

General Discussion / how long does the puffy face last for?
« on: March 17, 2014, 02:26:27 AM »
after an intense kambo treatment, how long is your face inflamed for? i noticed this effect can last at least a few days sometimes, and i'm a little paranoid there is a permanent effect in this regard.

General Discussion / please HELP - could this be from kambo?
« on: December 29, 2013, 06:47:26 PM »
My lymph node under my chin is inflamed and has been for at least the past six months.  I'm trying to think what things I was doing around the time I began noticing it that may be responsible, and honestly, kambo was the only lead I could think of. Six months ago I was doing a lot of kambo - and even though right now I exclusively stick to and prefer the traditional burn method - six months ago I was insufflating fairly often. Right now I'm afraid to do more kambo (burn method only) in fear that I would exacerbate the condition that may (and very may not) be caused by the kambo. (In fact I want to do it tonight before my Iboga booster / mini-flood session as I now it would help put me in a grounded state, but wondering if it may be a bad idea for my overall help.) What do you think? Am I mistakenly connecting dots (after all it could have been from an entirely different cause) or should I avoid kambo (even burn method)?

I still have iboga in my system (it's been close to but less than a month since), and I'm finding I need a lot of strength this next month. I feel kambo may be good, but I just want to make sure the kambo won't purge any of the iboga. (I've read that iboga stays in some of the fat cells of the body and is converted by the liver to nor-ibogaine, and a lot of whole-body purging is done with kambo, including that of yellow bile.) Any thoughts? A possibly warranted concern or not at all?

General Discussion / exercise before kambo ok?
« on: July 17, 2013, 02:24:51 AM »
Is it a bad idea to do aerobic exercise soon before kambo? Or could it possibly be helpful?

General Discussion / how long till puppy face fades?
« on: July 07, 2013, 12:36:13 AM »
It's been over a day since a kambo administration, and my face is still puppy... It's never stayed this puppy for so long for any of my many kambo treatment, and I am worried by the duration. Is this indeed strange or should I be reassured by a common occurrence of a prolong period of frog-face for others?

General Discussion / is kambo+caffeine dangerous?
« on: January 07, 2013, 02:46:08 AM »
Is it dangerous to have kambo if I have some caffeine (from a cup or two of green tea) in my system?

I know kambo is effective in strengthening immune function, but is it effective for any autoimmune disorders?

Hi all,

I am considering soon involving myself with kambo for a period of time to get myself back on track...

I've actually initiated with kambo already, and in total had 6 sessions (the largest at a given time was 26 dots and my last session was almost two months ago). I won't lie - the effects weren't night-and-day, panema-is-gone-or-anything - but I also have a feeling based on past experiences it may really help now.

Last 3 weeks I've been in a state of high anxiety and disorganization and things appear to be spinning out of control. This is compounded by poly drug abuse, right now the main/only substance being phenibut. Quick note - I know Iboga in indicated for this type of situation, but I'm considering kambo instead since A) I don't have the minimum 4 days of trip+integration and B) Iboga is best with opiate addiction and while helpful isn't necessarily to go-to medicine for gaba-focused-disruptive substances. I'm also in a position now that I'm trying to remain as functional as possible, which is slipping more and more by the day. Part of me feels it's best for me to drop everything and just take it really easy, but I'm also attached to not losing my job and other opportunities.

Any thoughts as to what the best medicines are for this situation? As far as kambo, any ideas as to the ideal protocol? (I'm not sure 3x method is sufficient... and the getting rid of substances in my system is really only the first layer.)

With kambo, I'm thinking of going pretty extreme by doing it daily for at least a week and seeing what that does. Even though I don't have too much of a problem with the skin-burning, I'd really prefer for daily use to use an alternative method, but unless someone can tell me exactly how, I feel at this particular juncture I don't have the time/energy/capacity to figure this out and will just go straight with the burns.

Any thoughts about my approach?
I'm also curious, if I do do it daily, if I should worry about tolerance and thus having to apply more dots than I'd appreciate? I remember I did kambo a couple weeks after doing several back-to-back high-dose kambo sessions, and the same amount of dots that I originally purged from had barely only threshold effects.

Lastly, since I'm planning on doing this ASAP, can anybody tell me a good source for the kambo/sticks/etc that also delivers quickly to California? I've actually never applied to to myself but I'm sure I can figure it out.

General Discussion / how important is setting?
« on: August 03, 2012, 11:21:14 PM »
how important is setting for kambo?

there is the obvious importance of having some amount of privacy and freedom to purge and express (scream or cry or laugh). but in terms of the degree to the setting shapes the experience and healing outcomes - the ways it makes a huge difference with entheogens, for instance - are these factors as important (nature, psychological comfort settings of environment)? (or does it work more like, say, a medicine that cures a flu or like a psychical surgery where having the medicine and the doctor right is what does the trick?)

General Discussion / any kambo contraindications?
« on: August 01, 2012, 07:24:02 PM »
are there any substances (opiates, etc) that one should make sure to be totally clear from to keep kambo as a safe experience or even let it do its thing optimally? from my readings, based on it's mechanism of action, it seems like it doesn't interact with anything particularly negative (unlike most powerful healing agents), but i'd like to confirm this? thanks :)

Introductions / hopeful about kambo
« on: August 01, 2012, 07:21:26 PM »
hi all,

i'm very exciting about kambo, never having done it myself but having read about it in the eboka forum and elsewhere.

i'm interested in the medicine based on hope that it may jump start a process or itself may help in helping with anxiety, depression, and more. For those that have worked with it... is this hope a fantasy or does it capture a realistic promise?
