And me who was expecting a full debunking...
It is interesting to see that there are some recognized effects in the kambo stuff, and it is even more interesting that the good component of it is not widely used. Please write an appendix to this post if you find the reasons :)
well, sometimes one can find a splinter of truth in a sea of charlatanism. I think the lecture here is to stay open-minded...not in a way to blindly adopt shamanism and other alternative medicines, but in a way to use science to test their methods. From time to time, we might find something of value.
Should I find out why dermorphin is not on the market yet, I will keep you informed. It's probably a trivial reason though. Maybe pharma corporations are on it already, and they usually don't publish results until their product is FDA-approved, else they would give valuable information to their competitors. And clinical trials can take much time, especially when you have to account for toxicological long-term effects.
Yeah, maybe this will come with time. We should not be over-excited :)
