Research and the Future of Kambo

Much work has gone into studying the science of Kambo and the biochemical makeup of the secretion itself, and in scientific terms, the work has just begun. Active research is underway to isolate other compounds found in Kambo that are suspected to be beneficial to medical science. 

Of course, there is more to this medicine beyond what the western lens sees.

This ancestral medicine has been used for centuries, guided by the wisdom and benevolence of nature for the health and well-being of the people of the Amazon.

Current medical science has only revealed the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the true effects and impacts of Kambo for healing and health, and it may never fully reveal the wonder and power of this natural medicine.

There are studies that have been done on Kambo since the first samples were brought into the U.S. by the award-winning investigative journalist, Peter Gorman and anthropologist, Katharine Milton.

Here are a few of those studies:  

Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have discovered proteins in frog skins which could be used to treat cancer, diabetes, stroke and transplant patients by regulating the growth of blood vessels.
