THE SCIENCE OF KAMBO
Did you know that there are currently over 90 patents lodged to synthesize the secretion, mainly here in the USA?
"A COCKTAIL OF PEPTIDES!"
Kambo is an incredible and unique chemical cocktail that contains dozens of peptides (short chains of amino acids). Some of these peptides are bioactive which means they have an affinity and selectivity for binding to cell receptor sites in humans. A receptor is like a lock that, when opened with the right key, the bioactive peptide triggers a chemical reaction in the body.
​
As far as we know thus far, Kambo contains around 139 peptides known to be crucial to the health, function, growth, and repair of our systems; from breathing, circulation, digestion, nervous system functions to cognitive function, like attention and memory, Kambo contains a truly remarkable spectrum of building blocks.
​
The properties of the peptides found in Kambo also cover a wide range of potential medical uses ranging from cancer, addiction, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Candida, fibromyalgia, depression, PTSD, anxiety, chronic fatigue, acute pain, migraines, blood circulation problems, vascular insufficiency, organ disease, skin and eye issues, fertility problems, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, etc.
LIST OF PEPTIDES
Phyllomedusin
A neuropeptide which strongly affects intestines, salivary glands and bowels helping to flush deep toxins.
​
Phyllokinin
Produces a long-lasting reduction in blood pressure. It helps widen the blood vessels, increasing permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Also Increases the rate and flow of a layer of specialized cells around the brain that protects it.
Phyllocaerulein
A natural pain killer that reduces blood pressure, modifies fulfilment, helps with sedation and thermoregulation (regulation of body temperature). Stimulates the pituitary gland and the adrenal cortex conducive of heightened sensory perception and increased stamina.
​
Phyllolitorin
A neuropeptide that stimulates gastric acid secretion and smooth muscle contraction.
​
Dermorphin
A neuropeptide that produces a powerful opiate-like effects on certain Opioid receptors. It has been known to be up to 40x more potent than morphine.
​
Tryptophyllins
A neuropeptide that has anti-microbial properties which have been found to inhibit the growth of yeast Candida Albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
​
Deltorphin
A heptapeptide that binds to the opioid receptors. Currently being researched for its ability to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumor cells.
​
Dermaseptin & Adenoregulin (B2)
Anti-microbial peptides that exhibit lethal effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoa. There is growing research on the effectiveness of these peptides killing certain cancer cells. The effects that these peptides are having on the human brain are opening treatments for depression, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
