What are peptides?

Peptides are short chain amino acids, or proteins, and their healing implications are nothing short of miraculous. There are many different types with a vast array of functions in the body. They awaken the body’s organs, endocrine system and other defense systems and restore their natural function. Neuropeptides act as chemicals in the brain. Structural peptides maintain healthy tissues, such as bones, muscles, skin, hair and nails. Hormonal peptides serve as messengers between systems and cells. Enzymatic peptides function within the metabolic process. Transporter peptides facilitate the transport of substances within the body.

Bioactive peptides

Italian Two-time Nobel prize winning scientist, chemist, and pharmacologist Vittorio Erspamer was the first to conduct studies on kambo in a lab setting. He was responsible for the discovery of the neurotransmitter serotonin and its precursor 5-HTP and the classification, synthesis, and pharmocological studies of 60 new chemical compounds. He describes kambo as, “a fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequaled by any other amphibian”.

The implications for kambo and its plethora of peptides are truly astounding. Containing 139 known peptides, its capacity for healing a diverse array of illnesses is unparalleled. Like most sacred medicines, it lacks ample funding for extensive scientific study. The peptides listed below are only a few of the peptides found within this magical concoction, but they are the most studied and relevant during the purgative process. Some have even been found to be effective for killing cancer, gram-positive and negative bacteria, viruses, tumors, and regulating neurotransmitters and the Vagus nerve in lab studies, and those studies are linked in the "scientific studies" section HERE.

 

Main Peptides Found In Kambo

Dermorphin– Dermorphin has an opiate like effect on mu-opioid receptors, making it a very potent painkiller with effects 4000 times stronger than morphine.

Deltorphin– Deltorphin is also a powerful painkiller and delta opioid agonist.

Phyllomedusin– A neuropeptide that has a powerful effect on intestines and bowels, contributing to the purging often experienced when taking kambo.

Phyllokinin– This neuropeptide can cause a long lasting reduction in blood pressure. Both Phyllokinin and Phyllomedusin are potent vasodilators, increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier for their own access, as well as for that of other active peptides. Both also possess antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

Phyllocaerulein and Sauvagines– Potent painkillers that reduce blood pressure and affects thermoregulation. They stimulate the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland, contributing to greater sensory perception and increased resistance. Both peptides contribute to the increase of physical strength, the capacity to confront physical pain, stress, disease, and diminish the symptoms of fatigue. 

Adenoregulin– A 33 amino acid peptide that works with the adenosine receptor. This antibiotic peptide can reduce the harmful effects of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, including cancer cells. They work on the human body through the adenosine receptors, and offer a target for the treatment of depression, stroke, and cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s.

Dermaseptin– Shows powerful antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeast, fungi, protozoa, and enveloped viruses that often cause severe opportunistic infections. Many clinically studied and scientifically backed studies proving its effectiveness in cancer treatment.

Tryptophyllins– Highly potent against the yeast candida, may have potential in cardiovascular, inflammatory, and anticancer therapy.

These are only the most studied aspects of the medicine. Many more studies have been done and the findings are nothing short of profound.
