I turned bright yellow like an emoji in my last 2 ceremonies; 6, then 8 points on my lower back. I also got very bad uterine contractions on my last ceremony. How does kambo effect the liver or gallbladder? Was mine underfunctioning hence the yellowing of my skin and eyes? I also felt resentment to the facilitator afterwards and have lost most of my femininity after that ceremony. Not much info online about kambo and yellowing of the skin. No one turned yellow but me.

Three people had mentioned it in literature, with one saying he witnessed a ceremony. But he could not identify the frog and his entire experience of experiencing it was two lines long. Not the basis of any factual information. My reports, even though I was not trying to be the first, were the first ever of this medicine's use, the frog, the collection, etc. So anyone claiming it prior to 1986 is just talking with no substantiation. Crazy, but true.<br />Peter Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010025416629344748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-61447659620911639492018-11-07T20:41:59.489-08:002018-11-07T20:41:59.489-08:00Apologies.

I should not have written the word "later" as it makes it sound like I'm saying that the matses learned the word from kambo practitioners which is obiously not the case. The Matses may have used the term sapo before you brought the medicine out of the jungle but the word was erroniously adopted by the matses by spanish speakers. The matses and kambo as a medicine predates the matses own use of the term sapo. So the term was adopted by the matses by outsiders for the purpose of communication with said outsiders.

When I brought it out of the jungle in 1986 it was the first known use of it anywhere. There are three mentions of it in the literature but none of those three people ever saw it used, ever saw the frog, or ever used it themselves. When I wrote about having it used on me in 1986, that was the first mention in literature of it from someone who had used it. So the Matses did not adopt it later, they were the first users that we actually know used it.Peter Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010025416629344748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128951.post-36763310095063025322018-10-30T12:31:51.171-07:002018-10-30T12:31:51.171-07:00The term sapo for kambo (of any type) is a misnome...The term sapo for kambo (of any type) is a misnomer perpetuated by Kambo practitioners and later adopted by the Matses by virtue of spanish not being their first language. While the term is widely used and accepted by practitioners trained in the matse's preparation it is a misnomer and has the potential to be confused with another amphibian medicine (bufo alvarius).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980937058898398059noreply@blogger.com
