Introductions / Re: Absence
« on: October 25, 2018, 02:59:55 AM »
Glad you're back! You reminded me that I actually had a dream last night of talking to you in person. I wrote a response to your last post but don't think I ever posted it.
I've been away for a while now too and was wishing someone was here to at least moderate the forum. And it's time for me to reprioritize my life and get back onto the right path. So hopefully we'll both have the time to come back stronger. Prefer you to help peoples answers with kambo, as you have more experience, and I have been away from it for a while. Plan to do it within the next couple weeks, after a spring water, herbal enema, herbal tea, juicing fast.

Kambo needs a proper forum, I find the facebook group pages to be too frustrating. Too many people get egotistical and belittle those looking for help; And declare how things should be when it might not be the only or best way.

Kambo & Other Sacraments / Re: Kratom
« on: August 12, 2018, 03:34:14 AM »
There's no reason to believe it would be a good combination in the first place.
Kratom sedates the nervous system with opiate effects and kambo is a purgative cleanser that gets blood / circulation going.

Diabetes / Berberine vs. Metformin
« on: July 29, 2018, 06:14:01 PM »
"Best known for its natural antibiotic activity, berberine deals a serious blow to common infectious organisms— organisms like “staph,” “strep,” Chlamydia, diphtheria, salmonella, cholera, diplococcus pneumoniae, pseudomonas, gonorrhea, candida, trichomonas, and many others.

The researchers wrote, 'Compared with metformin, berberine exhibited an identical effect in the regulation of glucose metabolism, such as HbA1c, FBG [fasting blood glucose], PBG [blood sugar after eating], fasting insulin and postprandial insulin [insulin level after eating]. In the regulation of lipid metabolism, berberine activity is better than metformin. By week 13, triglycerides and total cholesterol in the berberine group had decreased and were significantly lower than in the metformin group (P<0.05).'

Insulin resistance dropped by 45 percent!"

Precautions / Re: Skin around dots start to swell..
« on: July 06, 2018, 04:56:20 PM »
Just a histamine reaction. No big deal.

https://www.webmd.com/allergies/what-are-histamines#1

Could be caused by the kambo, a slight allergy to the "Bejuco" burning stick, or because of not being 100% sterile.
It is just a response to protect you from foreign contaminations.

Anti-Cancer / The Cancer Thread: Horehound
« on: July 06, 2018, 04:42:46 PM »
"Horehound

Contributes to cancerous cell death:
A study performed in January 200 took a look at horehound leaf and its effects on colorectal cancer cells. Aware of horehound's traditional use for anti-inflammatory conditions exhibiting symptoms such as cold, fever, and sore throat, scientists, wanted to examine its potential on other cell lines. The study indicated that not only did horehound help inhibit human colerectal cancer cell growths, but it also seemed to increase apoptosis, or cellular suicide."

The Reality Of Truth

https://youtu.be/gDG-bOIQUOw

This highly provocative documentary explores the relationship between spirituality, religion, and plant medicine. Featuring top thought leaders including Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Marianne Williamson, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and hosted by Mike “Zappy” Zapolin, the film explores how to access the true reality through plant medicine, Ayahuasca and meditation.  It includes first of its kind interviews with top spiritual gurus, celebrities, and people of all faiths, about this intriguing connection and their personal experiences with spirituality and transcendence.

Throughout history human beings have searched for gateways to spirituality that have included meditation, prayer and plant medicine. The Judeo Christian religions, Vedic traditions, and Shamanistic rituals all incorporate techniques focused on transcending the physical reality. These ancient techniques have been uncovered and are now available to society, enabling our ability to tap into our true reality and awakening.

Interviews with leading scientists validate the merging of spirituality and science.

The worldwide awareness of the film is meant to break through the “illusion of reality,” and allow viewers to move forward toward a more meaningful and peaceful future. The filmmakers are conducting interviews with today’s thought leaders from around the globe, while capturing the culture and energy of some of the most spiritual places on earth, including Peru, Rome, Maui, Costa Rica and the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.

Alzheimer's disease is the world's most common neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of dementia.

One feature of Alzheimer's is a buildup of protein tangles called beta amyloid plaques, in certain neurons in the brain.

A study in mice showed that a substance in olive oil can help to clear these plaques from the brain (35).

A human controlled trial showed that a mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil had favorable effects on brain function and reduced the risk of cognitive impairment (36).

Herb Info and Use / List of Alkaloids Identified in Kratom
« on: April 11, 2018, 10:55:46 PM »
https://www.kratomscience.com/forums/topic/list-alkaloids-identified-mitragyna-speciosa-kratom/

Kratom's constituents and their properties

Quote
Concentration percentages given come from different studies of alkaloid concentrations in Mitragyna speciosa– Kratom leaf. Some of the alkaloids given in this list still need to be studied more specifically in order to determine their potential activity.

Speciophylline: Indole alkaloid. Anti-leukemic. <1% of total alkaloid contents of Kratom leaf.

Stipulatine

Tetrahydroalstonine: Hypoglycemic, anti-adrenergic (at alpha-2)

As previously mentioned, Mitragyna speciosa Kratom alkaloid content varies quantitatively from geographical location, and from month to month, at different leaf harvest times, which has lead some teams (Shellard et al. in the 1970s) to conclude that there may be different geographical variants within the same species.
The Chelsea College Pharmacognosy Research Laboratories collected thirty samples of Kratom from Thailand, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea between 1961 and 1970. All contained mitragynine, but also proved to have considerable variation in the alkaloid makeup. For red and green/ white leaved plants of Thailand, the most common alkaloidal profile was mitragynine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, paynantheine, traces of ajmalicine, traces of (C9) methoxy-oxindoles, and traces of other indoles.
Yet other Thai plants contained distinct alkaloidal profiles, some with many more alkaloids. In the Malay specimens, one contained mitragynine, speciofoline, and other indoles and oxindoles, while others contained mitragynine, ajmalicine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, paynantheine, traces of indoles, and (C9) methoxy-oxindoles. Specimens from Papua New Guinea contained mitragynine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, paynantheine, specionoxeine, and isospecionoxeine.
Prior to the late 1990’s, nearly all chemical studies of Kratom activity focused on mitragynine with the assumption thatmitragynine was the main active alkaloid. With 7-hydroxymitragynine now clearly identified out as the principal psychoactive alkaloid in Kratom, many elements of these studies need to be revised.

Takayama et al. also found that Thai and Malay Kratom had the alkaloids mitragynine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, paynantheine and 7-hydroxymitragynine in common. In both Thai and Malay samples, mitragynine was the most abundant alkaloid, yet it made up 66% of the total alkaloid in the Thai Kratom sample, while it made up only 12% of the alkaloids from the Malaysian sample. The Malay Kratom sample had mitragynaline and pinoresinol as major components, as well asmitralactonal, mitrasulgynine and 3,4,5,6-tetradehydromitragynine.
Working with the leaves of Malay Mitragyna Kratom plants, the Houghton and Said team found 4 new types of indole alkaloids (corynantheidaline, corynantheidalinic acid, mitragynaline and mitragynalinic acid), in very young leaves.
These new alkaloids were reported as having an unusual skeleton, with a carbon function at the C14 position (in comparison with previously known monoterpenoid indoles), but another research team, lead by Pr. Takayama, later revised the structure of the mitragynaline and corynantheidaline alkaloids, showing that there was actually no substitution on the 14 position.

The variety of alkaloids discovered in diverse Kratom samples to this day still calls for further studies and experimentation, investigating their specific activity, effects and potential applications.
Through its makeup and tradition of use, it is clear Mitragyna speciosaKratom is much more than a simple opioid-like narcotic and mild stimulant. Many of the secondary chemicals found in Mitragyna speciosa Kratom are present in small yet appreciable quantities, and their synergetic role and activity in the general pharmacology of Mitragyna speciosa Kratom is not yet fully understood, as thorough research has only just begun.

Not sure about the salt. Maybe that would've helped the piri-piri grass solution I made from burning.
The seal cracked and I ended up discarding it anyway.

Just a note of caution for sterility for the eyes.

https://www.amazon.com/Christophers-Formula-Herbal-Eyebright-Fluid/dp/B000S86VC0/
This product has some pure grain alcohol in it. Even Cayenne.
I've used it as an herbal eyewash before,
which might be a suitable method for you since your solution is more dilute?

The directions for that product:
Quote
Shake Well. Place 3-5 drops of the herbal eyewash extract into each of the two CLEAN & STERILE eyecups, one for each eye (left and right).
Pour boiling distilled water in each eyecup almost filling it to the rim of the eyecup glass.
Let the two full eyecup glasses cool normally to room temperature. (Do not use until the eyecups and eyewash solution have returned back to room temperature. Do not use if either eye cup glass cracked during this process.)
With contacts removed and once the eyecup and eyewash solution cooled, tip head forward, put the eyecup with solution up to the eye and press it gently against the face with the eyecup surrounding the eye.
Tilt the head backwards, blinking the eye as though swimming under water. Blink a few times. There will be a burning sensation (during and slightly after this process), which will turn the eye red when using the eyewash, THIS IS NORMAL! (the burning sensation will go away)
Repeat the same process with the other eye, using the clean solution (do not use the same eyecup for the other eye). The best time to do this procedure is before retiring for bed.

General Discussion / Re: Kambo and Sabboreah Dermatitis (skin fungus)
« on: February 04, 2018, 08:12:35 AM »
Liver detoxification is important. Kambo should be helpful but for sure I would look into getting some anti-fungal herbs.
http://www.candida-cure-recipes.com/antifungal-herbs.html

Like Black walnut, garlic, pau d'arco, neem, tea tree, etc.

Will respond more when I get some time.

« on: February 04, 2018, 07:55:08 AM »
Hmm, how's your appetite been. Any nausea or feeling crappy after eating at all? Or in general.
 Is the color of your urine very yellow or dark? Are the whites of your eyes at all yellowish?
Wondering if it could be related to liver detoxification related to your body trying to eliminate toxins you didn't purge.
