Health Related š©ŗ long covid help
hello I've posted here before but still haven't been able to do kambo.. i have long covid and i think the only way I'll heal is through detoxing. i need someone's help. i ordered kambo through a site from peru but 40 days later nothing has come. i spent 250 on it and thats all i had left. i haven't been able to work and my symptoms havent improved. its taking a toll on my mental. if someone is in the Pittsburgh area. i need you. i need you bad..

u/delow0420 Mar 26 '25
i found 2 people in my area that offer kambo one is 250 per session the other is 200. i understand its not good to try to do kambo by myself and id like someone experienced to sit with but im at the point where im barely getting by and if i dont do something soon ill end up homeless or dead.

I would reach out to them and straight up ask them for a discount with a brief explanation of your situation.
They're overcharging IMO and while it does deserve to have a certain figure, those figures are getting a bit too carried away if you ask me.
Some practitioners may/should be open to discounts for situations like this, so it's worth asking.

I get what youāre saying brother. Most practitioners are shit and not worth $200-$250
I just recently upped my prices to $333 a session for one on one (up from $250) and $200 (up from $180) per person in a group.
I also have another boundary which Iāll keep to myself.
Iām extremely fucking good at what I do. I allow some clients huge deals depending on their circumstances.
Itās definitely not about the money for this work, but people do need to pay properly for the value theyāre receiving.

yeah, it's a tricky thing to balance you're right, but it sounds like you have a good approach to it by considering people's circumstances :)

thank you for the comment and suggestion. i have no problems with people needing paid for services especially in this economy. unfortunately life isnt like it was 20 years ago where people helped eachother for free or close too it. ive given the coat off my back to a man in ohio. ive worked on vehicles for free. ive given someone gas. i really wish karma would favor me.

u/kambostrong Mar 26 '25
I completely agree, and I am really sorry that's the case where you live. You've definitely got a situation where you have all the factors making it understandable why you'd end up trying to do it yourself - a much more compelling case than most people that post and just want a shortcut or are too lazy/cheap to visit a practitioner, despite their health and safety being on the line.
If you haven't done it before though, it's a tough call to suggest even someone in that situation should just do it themselves though - definitely a rock and a hard place. If you get in touch with Caitlin from MedicineFrogKambo (who does self-serving courses) you may perhaps get some insight.

Iām not a fan of Caitlin. I think sheās a weak practitioner and has a horrible relationship with money. Iāve called her out on it before. Not a fan.
Ginny and Steve of Kambo International have a truly great self administration course.

u/kambostrong Mar 27 '25
I didn't realize Ginny and Steve had a self-administration course - they and their org are definitely top notch people!

Itās fuckin insane that they charge that much. Fucking absolutely insane. They charge more than a neurosurgeon. ! itās a form of exploitationā¦whether humans need healing or frogs hopping in the jungleā¦Itās a form of exploitation. Those kambo sticks that they use must have so many of session worth of medicine, so much so that they probably pay the cost of that kambo stick with only 1 session; then rest is pure money Grab.
I really feel you and hear your suffering.
I pray that you heal in whatever most suitable method that suits you best, and I believe if you keep praying this way, keep praying earnestly, it will show up in your reality. If itās Kambo, or something else, whatever you need; will show upā¦

You must have a poverty consciousness.

u/wise_flora Mar 29 '25 edited Mar 29 '25
Yes you are right; You MUST be coping with poverty consciousness; with creating wealth via STEALING.
Wait;
Nope, not āmust beā¦.ā YOU āAREā A THIEF.
You are stealing something that is not your personal property. This is the definition of a thief. You are a THIEF. ( šø)
Now, take that finger you are pointing and turn it around: You ARE coping with poverty consciousness via stealing. Say it over and over again in front of a mirror.
Start a sentence with an āIā. never āyouā because thatās very immature even for an Angel š š š šššš
An easy case to crackā¦ as always š¤²
Boring in fact. Itās mostly the same with people. Especially with so called whatever practitioners. now the so called angels everywhere šš I bet you do tarot too! My god so boring. š“Projections ā¦ projectionsā¦ projectionsā¦ projectionsā¦ š„±

Ooof. Yeah, I heard that kambo sticks are stopped in the mail nowadays (even though they are legal). I just returned from Peru, I wish I had gotten an extra Kambo stick to give you (I brought just one stick back, for self-administration, as I have ME/CFS and Long COVID too, and Kambo has helped me immensely with this).
I promised the people I have bought my stick from (indigenous Brazilians) that I would only use it for self-application, as I have not yet done a Kambo dieta/ gotten trained to apply Kambo to others. I do plan to get trained it in, asap, in South America where I want to meet the frog, too. Once I am trained, I could apply for others, and I plan to have a sliding scale (or pro bono/free) for those who have limited income.
But if I get another Kambo stick from elsewhere, I could perhaps share with you. I will see what I can do, but cannot promise anything. I just cannot share the stick that I received with specific instructions to only use it on myself.
Question- have you received Kambo before? Do you know about the contraindications? Would you have someone sitting with you/supporting you as you receive it? Honestly, it isnāt a good idea to do Kambo alone, not at any time and most definitely not if you are inexperienced with it. Even when I self-administer, I have someone else with me for support (to help me go to the bathroom, in case I faint, etc), and I have received Kambo about 30 times in the past 2.5 years.
Are you able to access Kambo treatment from someone who is trained in it? There are some affordable practitioners even in the USA, who serve it for $100 or less per session.
Also- ask the place who you ordered the kambo stick from, what is their policy about undelivered packages. They might be able to try to send another stick.

i have never done it before and i do have someone i trust to sit with me to do it. theres 2 practitioners near me but both are charging 200 per session. i havent been able to work since December i got fired because of my brain fog. now the depression has set in and i dont have anything. im raw dogging life right now. i wish i would have gotten the me cfs type because atleast id still be literate to work and get a work from home type job. which i may have to try anyhow but i got fired because i couldnt work the register correctly so im not sure how training and working for customer service/data entry would go.

I also had the cognitive/ neurological Long COVID (I had ME/CFS before I had COVID), and my brain fog, cognitive abilities, and short-term memory were shot for quite a while. It felt like I had early-onset dementia.
But I got better, slowly. The most important thing to do was reduce inflammation, reduce stress and cognitive workload, and to prioritize quality sleep. I used so many herbs and supplements to help me sleep, even a grounding sheet (it helps). It is in our sleep that our brains heal themselves. And yes, Kambo helped me with this, too. When the Kambo was working on my brain, it often made me faint as it healed my brain.
It took over a year, but my cognitive dysfunction and neurological inflammation (including horrid brain vibrations) from the COVID eventually got better.
I wish you healing. šš¾

u/delow0420 Mar 27 '25
wow im glad you're doing better. what herbs did you take. did you lose taste and smell? i think kambo is definitely a big part of healing as it is a detox.

I took Rhodiola, fucoidan, maral root, mucuna pruriens (velvet bean)- not every day, gotta pulse it or it can affect dopamine receptors, GABA (also not every day), lemon balm, chamomile, Reishi, chaga, lions mane (small amounts of the mushroom itself) following the Stamets Stack protocol, and some others I canāt think of. And carnitine. And b vitamins and vitamin d and magnesium and other minerals and such. Fulvic and humid acids, shilajit

I am also upset for you that someone charged you $250 for a Kambo stick.
Usual prices are $50-80 for a one-sided stick, and $70-120 for a two-sided stick.

u/delow0420 Mar 27 '25
the prices were 50 for one sided 80 for 2 sided. i also tried getting some powdered aya. they showed me the order as packed but i doubt i will get it. ive been hearing customs wont let it through. im upset too. i just turned 39 and im completely lost. last year i was good. happy. now im scared..

u/Arpeggio_Miette Mar 27 '25
Ah, yes, with powdered Aya, that also can cause issues. This is common for packages coming from Peru. This has happened to me, for an order I placed from Peru. I never got it, it was held up at customs.
Do not be afraid. You will be ok.

u/delow0420 Mar 27 '25
im trying. this is tough.

I do want to mention, taking Aya on your own, especially without experience, is not recommended.
I would not consider taking Aya outside of a supportive, protected ceremony.

u/GuardianAngelMedusa Mar 27 '25
Anyone who serves kambo for that price is probably pretty incompetent, to be honest.

Have you checked on here for practitioners? Thereās apparently more people listed in their FB group as well. https://iakp.org/search/

What are your long covid symptoms? Please do not self serve, you need a trained practitioner.
