Kambo (Phyllomedusa bicolor)
Kambo Sapo or Jungle Vaccine . These are all names given to the secretion of a tree frog that lives in the northwestern part of the Amazon rainforest (Peru, Colombia, and Brazil). Its scientific name is*Phyllomedusa bicolor*or “Giant Monkey Frog.”
It is used to free oneself from Panema (name given to negative things) as well as for hunting magic; and as a powerful medicine against malaria, snake bites, yellow fever and other epidemic diseases.
Scientific Research
In the 1980s, Italian scientist Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome, a Nobel Prize nominee, stated that Kambo contains a remarkable chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unmatched by any other amphibian.
Of the several dozen peptides found in Kambo, about 7% are bioactive[GONMAN]. These bind to receptors in the brain, triggering chemical reactions in the human body. To date, researchers have identified nine bioactive peptides that have a potent effect on gastrointestinal muscles, gastric and pancreatic secretions, blood circulation, and the stimulation of the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland.
These peptides have a strong analgesic effect, improve endurance, increase physical strength, and generally enhance the ability to tolerate pain and stressful situations. They possess medicinal properties that aid digestion, and have been shown to provide pain relief for those suffering from renal colic, pain caused by peripheral vascular insufficiency, and cancer-related pain.
In the 1990s, a new peptide, adenosine-regulating peptide (ARP), was discovered by John Daly’s team at the National Institutes of Health in the United States. ARP acts in the human body through adenosine receptors, a key component in all human energy-producing cells. These receptors may offer a treatment option for depression, stroke, and cognitive decline disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientific research on Kambo peptides is opening up new insights into how the human brain works. The properties of Kambo peptides cover a wide range of potential medical applications in the treatment of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, depression, migraines, blood circulation problems, vascular insufficiency, organ diseases, skin and eye problems, fertility issues in women and men, AIDS, hepatitis, and cancer.
Because it contains these nine peptides, Kambo is one of the most potent natural antibiotics and anesthetics found in the world and one of the best natural ways to boost the immune system.
Kambo treatments have both short-term and long-term effects. In the short term, the effects include a state of alertness, good mood, increased resistance to fatigue, hunger, and thirst [GONMAN], the ability to focus and concentrate more easily, and a mental calm that can last for several days or weeks. In the long term, Kambo strengthens the immune system, combats fatigue, and improves overall health.
Other notable medical properties of this secretion include its anti-inflammatory effects, its ability to destroy microbes and viruses, and its ability to heal infections. [GONMAN]
