Last weekend I did 2 kambo sessions after each other. Due to it being new moon and this thing called mercury retrogade I took it easy. However the feeling was there to do it, so I did not postpone.

First sessions I took 5 dots. The stick I used proved to get me on the verge of bile purge with only 3, so I reckoned 5 would be enough. To my surprise it was nice  it wasn't uncomfortable in any way though I did feel the kambo doing it's work. I realized that I wasn't going to puke so I just lied down and let it wear out. So I felt confident a second take was to be done.

Second take again 5 dots. I was almost puking of the load of water I drank, more than 2 liters. When the kambo kicked in it was much stronger than the first dose. However I stayed in the comfort zone, if there is any with kambo, it was just not enough to make me purge. I could feel the tingling sensation, heat and release of bile in the stomach. Even triggering vomiting with a finger in the throat didn't work. So I laid down again and let it wear out. There was the urge to go for a third time.

Though I felt very good. A little nausea because of the water, but that was all. Decided this was not the time to force it, since it being new moon and mercury retrogade. Better wait some 2 weeks and then do it again.

Between the two dosings I felt a lot of emotional turbulence of the past months. I kinda relived certain issues and they were removed. Interesting how feelings, tastes and smells came up connected with these issues.

Though kambo didn't set joints and ribs in their right position, it did tackle the emotional and mental aspects that those physical obstructions posed. As I posted earlier, I came to realize that problems in the body that create a vicious cycle also reflect on other levels.
So I am having a few ribs, vertabrates and the hips that have slight dislocations and combined they create a situation in wich pain is constantly generated. When I try to avoid the pain by way of positing the body this or that way, it get's worse cause the dislocations are being worsened. This pattern I came to see on almost all levels. It made me realize that very often I have to refrain from doing what seems natural, as is avoiding pain for example. When you are in a good cycle, just to name it, like kambo promotes, what you feel is good for you will further the cycle and strengthen it. On the other hand, if you're in a vicious cycle things that feel right are very often actually furthering and strenghtening that cycle. So to break it is very important.

The kind of problem with the body as base for a vicious cycle can be seen as a knot. A tight knot, not unlike a gordian knot. If you force it in any way it will tighten up more. So it has to be right, not too less and not too much. But also on the right moment etc.
The knot can have a physical base as well, for example I have this place behind one shoulder were the muscles have hardened because of the stress generated by the dislocated hip. The interaction of hip and shoulder furthers this hardening cause feeling it's painfulness all day is difficult, so the body adjusts and this adjusting makes it more tight.

Well I've simplified things for arguments sake. These matters are more related to feeling than thinking. But a strategy is needed so thinking it over has it's function. The process keeps going and positing new viewpoints almost every week.

This depends from person to person. I don't do snuffs very often, so have no idea how long in particular. But it may be that this is less addictive than smoking tobacco. A friend was snuffing for two weeks or so, daily, and then he quit - the snuff ran out.

Usually when the fun is departing and it get's boring, that's when addiction is arriving.

Hello people, I've been on this forum before and am trying to find some help and or advice. I'm in the middle of a very deep process and have a lot of trouble with it. Doing Kambo is part of the treatment, but there's a lot more and I got the feeling I might find some people here who have gone through similar ordeals or are facing them right now.

Basically I can't ground. It's from the physical level up. My joints won't fit that well and in time this has created a twist in my body and get's worse all the time. I'm in pain from the moment I arise each day till I go to sleep. Each time I adjust my body to find some relief I'm only making it worse. This then causes the not being able to ground. The problem has been with me since birth, it's embedded in my genes.

On other levels things get stuck all the time. To be plainly blunt, I've never been able to achieve anything wordly and am always struggling to keep my head above the waves. Just like when I try to find relief for my body it makes it worse, so to on the other levels: each time I try to find a way to get out or over it, things get worse.  Also there is something vexing about all this: each time I find some healer that can do something, getting there proves an ordeal itself. Somehow I have a knack for choosing my path so that it always present unexpected obstacles that prevent from getting there. It's only with the utmost effort I am able to make it - sometimes -. So I feel healing is not really granted, but I don't understand why.

When I let it be and take the pain it's so overwhelming I will make it worse as well. The only relief I have is keep moving on all levels. This has exhausted me so much that right now my body won't even heal itself anymore. It's partly due to this vexing: I am never in peace at home, neighbours, insects, heavy construction - you name it. For years the one succeeded the other and right now for the first time I am having a month of rest. But after this month a new construction project will start and this will mean heavy drills and the like. Meanwhile I can't find a place to go... So problems have been stacking over the years and right I now it's black/ white: either I find a way or perish.

So I do my own kambo treatments and what else. I prefer it this way. My experience with group sessions, like ayahuasca have been such torments. The time that I still feel every day is the one I attended an amazonian shaman and experienced so much pain, but at the same time couldn't cry out anymore or call for help. For 8 hours straight I laid contorting and moaning, no one even took a look. So I rather do my own sessions, however I feel like this won't help me either.

I am in urgent need I feel and well am going to post some things here in the hope to find some help or advice.

Right now I have a question: there is a spot on my left shoulder, slightly below the blade near the spine, where the muscles have hardened and these need to be loosened. Is kambo an option there?

Went to a shaman two weeks ago. Had a session on this panema, wanted to try it out.

It turns out my ancestry on both sides has problems with the women, in my case both grandmother. This in turn is what causes it.

Shaman told me women weren't something that went well for me. That's absolutely true, but more than that, he showed me that those ancestors won't leave me alone - not for a single day.

It was horrible to hear this, since I already suspected something like this. But not that both sides would be so serious.

Since I had this consult more negativity come down on me. Grinding on the bones. Suffering like an ayahuasca experience that won't go over.

I got a nasty food poisoning a week ago and puked so much stuff that'll have to wait with kambo.

But if anyone wants to know: This is panema and I have to suffer it alone...

A question for Kambogahuascangapé: What triggered you to become such a fiery promotor of Kambo?

This plant grows in West Afrika and is known as 'the healer herb'. It leaves are used for tea and contains a lot of aromatic compounds.

Basically it makes you piss a lot. It's said to be beneficial for the gums. Also it has anti-microbial properties. In a nutshell, the worse you are the better it makes you feel.

It has a great taste and when large quantities are ingested, it makes one feel very nice. I tell people it's herbal coke when they see the beverage I make.

Does anyone know more about this plant? I have been drinking for some years now. Lucky, I know a local importer where to buy it.

My interest now is if it can be used for enema's.

I would like to go deeper into this subject. Especially because I am so full-on into this. It's very important to sort this out...

There are different kinds of panema I guess. It's a word that bundles a collection of different afflictions and conditions. Physical sickness is the most profound and easy to address. Next there is a kind of emotional/ mental panema as grief, depression, shame & guilt and hardheaded thoughtpatterns.

Then there's a kind of spiritual panema. That's the one I would like to address here, in this post. It's the one that feels like I'm dealing with it most. People so often tell me just think positive and be happy - it'll all be okay. But the thing is that some things just happen, whatever you think or believe. The real is raw and doesn't conform to pretty thoughts and desires.

My guess is that there are two kinds of decisions that are being made by you: The conscious and unconscious one's. You bear responsibiltity for both. But you can only be blamed for the conscious one's.

Some people are just dumb lucky bastards. They just have to walk somewhere and boom there's a pot of gold waiting for them. The opposite of this is that you walk into a pile of shit, whatever you think or want to do. These are unconscious decisions.

What I want to say is that whatever people may believe, living in the 21th century, there are still people who are being attacked every day by this kind of panema. They didn't ask for it, nor are they guilty of something for they are being punished.
I have come to believe that it is the collective ignorance of humanity that creates these 'clouds of hungry ghosts, damned souls that have no rest and remember'. They come to some, whatever they are being chosen for.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if the general populacy would take some responsibility for their actions, but since they don't - someone must take the consequences. And that's how spiritual panema becomes agony beyond words.
If you are under attack from it day in, night out, you'll learn to fight.... and to accept as it is. There's no escaping it, just facing it and hope of belief it won't kill you - only make you stronger.

Sometimes I see a bigger picture and a way that it will work out. The one thing it already has done to me, or for me, is that I am no longer capable of taking part of this society we live in, at least not in the ignorant way. My eyes will never shut again from the raping we've done to this earth. I would rather die in agony than live the sweet bliss of ignorance that is so forced up your throat these days...

Man... I feel like an old man at times. I often speak to my last grandmother about it. It's in the family so to say. I work with that. By asking the right questions I adress the unconscious and engage it in sorting out. That is my weapon besides Kambo here.
