As for the burns, i didn't really have an issue.
Cool was just giving an fyi.

Yes, the heart pounding thing is quite normal for kambo, and feeling the pressure in your hear of every heartbeat.

It shouldn't be hard to from the globules. drip some water onto the stick and rub back and forth on a section of it with a knife, then just work it into balls.

Yes, it does hit you straight away, and that is intense, nevermind if you have no experience with it or a guide. All in all I would say for your first time you did fine. You learned from the experience and you probably got a pretty good detox out of all the sweating. Seems like you came close to a purge, though sweating is also a form of a purge as well as shitting, if which doesn't happen after application, will happen later, and which you can usually tell seems to be more toxic and putrid. Sweating, puking, shitting, even burping are all forms of purging, though we find it to be more beneficial to have a strong purge right after application, so that toxins which are surfaced are not reabsorbed back into the body. Though some people tend to purge differently sometimes.

Maybe there is a reason some sweat profusely or have diarrhea instead of puking. I have had it occur in people I have applied kambo to. I had someone I could not get to puke, I applied point after point after point and losing count of how many. He was sweating and then just shit. But hey, it's still detoxification.

Wiping the kambo off is no big deal, except that we usually wait till we want no more of it. Make sure when you burn that you scrape the top dead layer of skin off, sometimes a burn may be too light, and if the top layer isn't penetrated or removed, the kambo won't be absorbed at that point.

After you apply, have some quiet calming music on and lie or sit down, whichever is more comfortable, so that you don't end up crawling across the floor with anxiety or disorientation.

although it was hell when i was in it.
I hear ya, it's an intense experience which never seems to get much easier, except for the fact that you lose some of the shock and fear once you have experienced it.

Although you did not get the puke, the kambo is still doing work on you.

Exercise too is a good way too boost energy levels. 6 dots is good for the first time. I wouldn't try more for the first time unless you can't purge off 6. In the beginning you learn how to multitask and/or do the steps consecutively and consistently. and handling the stuff you will use. smudge, knife, spray bottle, bucket, burning smudge, making globules, burning skin, keeping the end of the burn stick flat, applying kambo, drinking water, etc.

Is it important to use to light up the stick that makes smoke?

It's Palo Santo and can be substituted with plants like white sage. If you have it, just light it. It is part of the ceremony. The Palo Santo is an ally. It smells beautiful and clears the energies and malignant entities and protects the space. The smell doesn't stick to fabrics and furniture in the house. Don't mind it, it is safe for you to breathe and it's intention is good.

Best to you, and the worst is in the beginning, before the purge. Unless your the type that has a hard time purging, I always felt better from it.

Welcome to the forum!  :D
And I hope this helps.
Keep us update after the session.

Madagascar Periwinkle

Extracts of Catharanthus roseus have significant anticancer activity against numerous cell types.
The greatest activity is seen against multi-drug resistant tumor types which suggest that there are compounds in Vinca rosea that are synergistic or additive with anti-neoplastic elements by inhibiting resistance to them.

Anti-cancer: Rosy periwinkle

This pretty plant from Madagascar gives us two very important cancer-fighting medicines: vinblastine and vincristine. Vinblastine has helped increase the chance of surviving childhood leukaemia from 10% to 95%, while vincristine is used to treat Hodgkins’ Disease.

Traditional Madagascan healers used the rosy periwinkle for treating diabetes. This led to its study by western scientists who then discovered its anti-cancer properties.

Bitter Melon

Quote
Bitter melon has also long been used as a herbal remedy for a range of ailments, including type 2 diabetes.

The fruit contains at least three active substances with anti-diabetic properties, including charantin, which has been confirmed to have a blood glucose-lowering effect, vicine and an insulin-like compound known as polypeptide-p.

These substances either work individually or together to help reduce blood sugar levels.

It is also known that bitter melon contains a lectin that reduces blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and suppressing appetite - similar to the effects of insulin in the brain.

This lectin is thought to be a major factor behind the hypoglycemic effect that develops after eating bitter melon.

Scientific evidence

A number of clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of bitter melon in the treatment of diabetes.

In January 2011, the results of a four-week clinical trial were published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, which showed that a 2,000 mg daily dose of bitter melon significantly reduced  blood glucose levels among patients with type 2 diabetes, although the hypoglycemic effect was less than a 1,000 mg/day dose of metformin. [68]

Other older studies have also suggested an association between bitter melon intake and improved glycemic control, while a report published in the March 2008 issue of Chemistry and Biology found that bitter melon increased cellular uptake of glucose and improved glucose tolerance. [69]

However, research published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology in 2007 failed to show any benefits of bitter melon for poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, while another clinical review published two years later in the British Journal of Nutrition stated that more, better-designed and clinical trials are required to confirm the fruit’s role in diabetes treatment. [70]

Cinnamon

Quote
This study demonstrates effects of low levels (1–6 g per day) of cinnamon on the reduction of glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The study design serves to replicate the results because there were similar effects at the three doses tested. It is not clear whether even less than 1 g of cinnamon per day would also be beneficial. The data are also reinforced by the observation that there were no significant changes in any of the placebo groups. There were also no problems with compliance or problems associated with the consumption of ≤6 g of cinnamon per day.

The mechanism of the effects of cinnamon on glucose and blood lipids must be determined. Symptoms of insulin resistance include decreased stimulation of muscle glycogen synthesis as well as defects in glycogen synthase activity and glucose uptake (18). In addition, altered enzymatic activities, such as an increased phosphatase activity and/or seryl phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrate by glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), have also been shown to be involved in some cases of type 2 diabetes (19,20). Dephosphorylation of the receptor β-subunit is associated with the deactivation of its kinase activity and, therefore, is associated with insulin signal downregulation (21). Maximal phosphorylation of the insulin receptor is associated with increased insulin sensitivity, which is associated with improved glucose and lipid levels. Extracts of cinnamon activated glycogen synthase, increased glucose uptake, and inhibited glycogen synthase kinase-3β(11,12). Extracts of cinnamon also activated insulin receptor kinase and inhibited dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor, leading to maximal phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (12). All of these effects would lead to increased insulin sensitivity. We have shown that extracts of cinnamon also function as potent antioxidants, which would lead to additional health benefits of this substance (unpublished data). Dhuley (22) showed that cinnamon displays antioxidant activity in rats fed a high-fat diet.

Fenugreek

Quote
Fenugreek seeds (trigonella foenum graecum) are high in soluble fibre, which helps lower blood sugar by slowing down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. This suggests they may be effective in treating people with diabetes.

Multiple studies have been carried out to investigate the potential anti-diabetic benefits of fenugreek.

Of these, several clinical trials showed that fenugreek seeds can improve most metabolic symptoms associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in humans by lowering blood glucose levels and improving glucose tolerance.

In one study, researchers in India found that adding 100 grams of defatted fenugreek seed powder to the daily diet of patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes significantly reduced their fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance and also lowered total cholesterol, LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol and triglycerides.

In another controlled trial, incorporating 15 grams of powdered fenugreek seed into a meal eaten by people with type 2 diabetes reduced the rise in post-meal blood glucose, while a separate study found that taking 2.5 grams of fenugreek twice a day for three months lowered blood sugar levels in people with mild, but not severe, type 2 diabetes.

Gymnema

Quote
The leaves of the Gymnema sylvestre plant contain gymnemic acids, which have been shown to slow the transport of glucose from the intestines to the bloodstream. This, in turn, helps to:

Lower blood sugar
Lower hemoglobin A1c
Some research also suggests that gymnema sylvestre extract can help repair and regenerate the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

Research has shown that Gymnema sylvestre extract is an effective therapy for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

In one clinical trial, 22 people with type 2 diabetes who were taking oral diabetes drugs also took 400 mg of Gymnema sylvestre extract (as GS4) daily. Participants experienced significant reductions in blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c and glycosolated plasma protein levels.

More remarkably, at the end of the 18-month study, the participants were able to reduce their drug dosages, and five of the study subjects were able to effectively maintain normal blood sugar levels with the GS4 alone. The researchers concluded, “the beta cells may be regenerated in type 2 diabetic patients on GS4 (Gymnema sylvestre) supplementation.”

In another study, researchers gave 27 people with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes 400 mg of Gymnema sylvestre extract (GS4) daily. After 10 to 12 months, Gymnema sylvestre extract conferred a number of benefits, including reductions in fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c and glycosylated plasma protein levels. Insulin requirements were also reduced.

Onion

Anti-diabetic properties of red onion

Researchers from the department of pharmacology at the University of Gezira published the results of a preliminary study on the anti-diabetic properties of red onion (allium cepa) in the journal, Environmental Health Insights [1].  The purpose of their study was to investigate the hypoglycemic properties of red onion in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

The study itself included two groups of 21 patients each consisted of patients with either type 1 diabetes (group 1) or type 2 diabetes (group 2).  The patients included in this study were under the age of 50, not taking medicine for other health conditions, and did not smoke or consume alcohol.  The participants were given 100 g of red onion either while fasting or following an oral glucose tolerance test.

Type 1 diabetes results:

Fasting blood glucose was lowered by 145 mg/dl in response to administration of insulin (4 hours later).  In comparison, 100 g of allium cepa (red onion) resulted in a 89 mg/dl reduction in fasting blood glucose levels (4 hours later).

Next, this group participated in an oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) in which they were administered 75g of dextrose.  Insulin administration lowered their blood sugar by 152 mg/dl (4 hours later) while allium cepa resulted in a reduction of their blood sugar by 120 mg/dl.  Water alone was also used as a comparison and it resulted in a 77 mg/dl reduction in blood sugar levels fours hours after the dextrose challenge.

Type 2 diabetes results:

For fasting blood glucose levels, 100 g of crude red onion resulted in a 40 mg/dl reduction in blood glucose levels, four hours later.  In comparison, administration of 5 mg of the diabetes drug, glibenclamide, resulted in a reduction of 80 mg/dl.

Following the induced hyperglycemia (GTT), 100 g of allium cepa resulted in a 159 mg/dl reduction in blood glucose levels compared to water 55 mg/dl and glibenclamide 114 mg/dl.

Study conclusions:

The study authors succinctly concluded the following:

“Allium cepa in addition to its nutritional values has hypoglycemic effects that could be beneficial in management of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients of all age groups, especially the level of its safety as reflected by its worldwide use as vegetable.”
Another interesting point made by the study authors was that they observed an increase in blood glucose levels after the first hour following allium cepa administration which they attributed to the glucogenic effects of Allium cepa.  The study authors noted that this could counteract the common side effect, hypoglycemia of many anti-diabetic agents.

Turmeric

Quote
Although no long-term studies have been done specifically in people with diabetes, the bench research shows that turmeric does reduce many of the inflammatory signals known to be overactive in diabetes (i.e. cytokines IL-6, IL-1, and TNF) and improves the action of disrupted insulin-response pathways in diabetes (i.e. PPAR-gamma) (Shishodia et al. 2005)!

Pharmacology

The hypoglycemic activity of alkaloids isolated from Catharanthus roseus have been studied pharmacologically and a natural remedy derived from the plant has been marketed under the proprietary name Vinculin® as a treatment for diabetes.
Alcoholic whole plant extracts at high dose (500 mg/kg) exhibited significant antihyperglycemic activity and has absence of acute toxicity. The extract effectively reverses the changes in the blood sugar level and the beta-cell population. The exact phytoconstituents responsible for the antidiabetic effect are not known yet.

Complementary Modalities / Re: Clogged Sinus Snuff
« on: April 05, 2016, 05:00:18 AM »
Really amazed with how well this works. I have been using an alternative method, just out of convenience of what materials I have.
 I have had a sinus head cold. My left nostril has been completely clogged, sneezing, and my head felt very stuffy.

I give a tobacco snuff nasal spray up each sinus, have a line already prepped of 3 tiny snuff spoons worth of tobacco powder as a base, and 2 of garlic powder, and 1 of cayenne; made into a fine line on a glass cutting board with a razor. After the spray I take a cut straw n sniff a tiny bit up each nostril, alternating sides until it starts to become uncomfortable. I do a hot neti pot rinse, sniff some more, and then do a cold neti pot rinse.

This twice a day has kept my head clear and me breathing at 100%. When normally I'd be totally clogged on the one side.

Ahh feels great! cheers

Not sure what GAD is but in my past I have definitely dealt with panic attacks and especially social anxiety. Being someone that has always learned to self-medicate, I wouldn't think ibgoa microdosing would be something that would effect me negatively in those ways. But I have definitely heard of people saying it has made those symptoms worse or that it has caused things to surface for the person to face and deal with.

Maybe something else would be better for daily therapeutic dosing for anxiety.

Kava, kratom, phenibut, coca tea, etc may increase sociability. Nootropic stacks can give you an edge. I especially find NMDA antagonists useful for depression and anxiety but you should be aware of your domestic laws depending on where you live. Ones with long half lives like Memantine or low dose arylcyclohexylamines like methoxetamine may be helpful.

I'd love to hear more about the bee sting therapy. Who's doing that? What's that like? Does it cause a high?

That's a lot of dedication for kambo in a month, you have a strong spirit =). Glad to see you didn't give up as soon as you felt a bit worse. Sometimes you have to just work though it.

Welcome to the community. Let us know how it progresses from there.

Hello and welcome to the forum!  :D

All I can share on this subject is that I've administered kambo to a friend with psoriasis (an autoimmune disease) on acupuncture points that are useful for the condition.
He had reported to me that after the experience the psoriasis had cleared up a bit. But he never kept up with any forms of treatments after besides whatever prescription drug he's been on.

It's hard to enjoy the Katunkina "camuri", is it spelt cumaru as well? It's hard to enjoy it being that fine, wow it must be a lot of ash.
Do you know if it has tobacco in it? I'm thinking of mixing it with a tobacco snuff which would thicken it up a bit as well.
I prefer it to hit my sinuses and not my lungs.

That made me a little weary about using them constantly as a method of alkalinization.
