In February 2016 i went to Pucallpa, Peru, for a 2 week shaman’s diet. The one hour boat ride got us to a Shipibo settling of 1000 called San Francisco. Road access ended when the bridge got detroyed by the rain. For 2 weeks we dieted in quasi isolation, eating the same oil-free & salt-free vegetarian meals, and attended 5 Ayahuasca ceremonies, whilst dieting on another master plant for about 10 days. Never has Ayahuasca been this intense. Bufo Alvarius was not far off.
For the whole duration i took notes, as some deep shit hit my fan. These are the highlights from my dieta diaries.
May you be well !

I was asked in a comment on my YouTube channel to make a video about the difference between Bufo Alvarius and Ayahuasca.
I forgot to mention something very important in the video : Ayahuasca requires thorough and lengthy preparation and also has many contra indications, Bufo Alvarius does not have so many (keep off anti-depressants, though). Intention, however, is still required and/or recommended.
May you be well !

The Coffee Enema : why ? how ? does it work ?
27 Jul 2015 1 Comment
[See video at the bottom of the page]
Yep, it’s weird having a tube stuck up your butt. I had never thought i would have to do this. After some research, however, it seemed like my best option.
Pancreas problems ? Diabolical diabetes ? Tired of feeling tired ? This enema is right up your alley.
Why ?
After being diagnosed with pancreas issues a short while ago, with roller-coaster style blood pressure readings and a total lack of energy that various naps during the day couldn’t cure, i decided to look up solutions for my pancreas problem. Of course, i had already reduced or eliminated the most problematic foods. But coffee was just too hard to get rid of. Or maybe i didn’t try. I used to really enjoy my morning coffee with cream/milk. Two things you should avoid in my case.
Before Ayahuasca n°6 on July 11th 2015 i hadn’t given up the coffee. And i would often feel pain in what i guess was my pancreas, as well as pain in the heart and sometimes the left arm. Scary shit. Part of the Ayahuasca preparation is to go off coffee & other things, and that applies a few days afterwards as well. Three days went by after the ceremony and i had my first sip of coffee. I immediately felt it very strongly in my head, as if i had developed a hypersensitivity to caffeine or something. Didn’t feel well.
As part of my findings, coffee enemas left me optimistic. The science behind it is that it triggers your liver to make bile and detox the body, something like that. Apparently that is hard science and not presently questioned.
Dosage & how to
I tried it with a couple of spoons of organic coffee in 1 litre of water. I use the coffee machine to prepare it : i set the water level to 4/12 and then add filtered water to the top, which is about the required litre. That cools it down to a roughly adequate temperature : you want it at body temp, ie 37°C, which will feel warm when you immerse a finger or hand in it. Of course, don’t immerse anything in the liquid you will be using unless that object is perfectly clean. You don’t want to mess about with dirty stuff up your bum, believe it or not.
You need to do this after going to the toilet, otherwise you will not get much in there and whatever was stuck up there might not stay there long enough for you to get back on the toilet. By the way, you perform this useful but slightly barbaric act lying on your back, preferably with an old towel spread on the floor. Don’t do it on your bed or you will stain it. Do it on a tiled/easily washable floor, as close as possible to the toilet. Do not under estimate the urgency of matters when they start to manifest.
You will need some lube to make that nozzle manageable ; applying lube to both parties is a good idea. You don’t want to rip anything, ok. Be gentle, and try twisting if it won’t just slide in. Two to three inches is what you’re aiming for.
Place the douche-bad / enema cup / whatever you are using about 12 inches above your level. I place mine on the closed toilet seat.
Performing this in two stages can be a good idea : during stage one use about 2/3 of the coffee and then go to the toilet to let it out. This may take a while but, believe me, it shall come. Phase two leaves you with 1/3 of the coffee to wash out whatever came down with phase one. Remember to lube the nozzle again, and also the other party involved.
Don’t expect any enjoyable smells from this, but the coffee should cover the worst of it.
I add a bottle top of colloidal silver to the coffee as an anti-bacterial.
The effects
From day one, immediately after the ordeal, i felt energized and in a much better mood. Hadn’t felt so energetic in months !
Day two i went running, something i had not done in months either.
I am now onto day 5 or 6 and every time i took it i have felt energized and in a better mood.
My pancreas no longer seems to hurt unless i actually drink coffee or ingest other things i shouldn’t be ingesting. I have found that since Ayahuasca n°6 i am no longer attracted to alcohol or things are probably bad for me. Meat, especially red meat, is now almost disgusting to me. I require something fresh in everything i eat. I have become sensitive to these things like never before. Until a week ago becoming a vegetarian was something i hadn’t even considered, now it seems very likely. Becoming a vegan is def a possibility.
I am off milk & dairy, even eggs are losing their appeal, sweet stuff is just a no-no now…and i thoroughly enjoy fresh fruit & vegetables. As if i were more in contact with my body and its needs. No doubt in my mind that i have Ayahuasca n°6 to thank for that.
Warnings
Some folks say these things are dangerous, very dangerous. Even more people say they are harmless. Well, i don’t know, but so far i feel a whole lot better. What you do is up to you. Check what you need with who you want, i am not responsible for your actions, and wouldn’t be even if i had urged you to perform them. Do your homework and be responsible.
I have found that a good dose is 1 spoon (conical plastic coffee dosage spoon) and that 2 can give me a long lasting coffee buzz. So start low and see how it goes. Filter properly, you shouldn’t have any actual ground coffee in the water, so using a good paper filter and a machine works well. Plastic filters let through more residue. I use a paper filter over the plastic filter. If you don’t have paper filters, use paper napkins, that works just fine.
Duration
I think the recommended duration of the “treatment” is 4-6 weeks but i would be careful and do it for less time than that. Again, do your homework.
While Gerson used to recommend up to 6 enemas per day for his cancer patients, 1 is plenty for me. I can see how 2 could be useful, however it does require time and some organisation. You will also be in the bathroom quite some time, which can cause conflict with other members of the household as well as make you look like a freak.
Is it working for you ?
If you have tried this, then please post your testimony in the comments section so that others may benefit from them. Thank you.
Râpé : what is it ? what does it do ? how do you use it ?
24 Jul 2015 Leave a comment
Back in October, during Ayahuasca n°4, i bought a small box of râpé (that means ground, in French), which is ground tobacco, supposedly Mapacho from the Amazon, and in the case of mine, it has a bit of menthol added to it. You self administer it by blowing it up your nose. Gets you breathing like never before, and comes in very handy before ceremonies/sessions with so-called sacred medicines, such as Ayahuasca, Iboga, Peyote, toad secretion (Sapo BUFO, Sapo Kambo), etc., where breathing is essential.
In this short video i show what it looks like, how to administer it to yourself, how to save money on the required pipe, and say a word or two about what you can expect.
I paid quite a high price for the small box you see on the video : 200 Pesos (MXN). I would recommend buying a bag of Mapacho and grinding yourself in a coffee grinder. Probably a thousand times cheaper. I bought mine from Andres, a guy who accompanies these Shamans & Taitas all over the world. The guy has what seems like a pretty good job. Travel + Ayahuasca every week…can’t be bad. 😉
I hope it’s of some use to you.
Peyote ceremony 1 — Cold wind & warm feelings | 2014-08-02

in Peyote Tags: Ayahuasca, Einstein, Max Planck, Peyote, Quantum physics, science meets spirit, we know nothing
A week ago i attended my first ever Peyote ceremony. I didn’t seek it out as i had done for Ayahuasca, it fell in my lap.
A neighbour of mine happens to be an “open-minded” biologist. She’s into Reiki, Chakras and higher vibrations. Stuff that, to me, still sounds a bit much, but i’ll tell you what : i’m changing my mind surprisingly quickly these days as i discover more and more things. If you’re lost for words reading my last sentence then look up some vibration experiments on water. In fact i stumbled upon an amazing compilation about this just a day or two ago on Vegter Animus’ blog. If that doesn’t awaken you to the idea that there is something going on then maybe nothing will! You can dismiss it, it’ll still be there.* Anyway, back to the issue at hand : Peyote. What is it??
Peyote is a cactus you find in North America and possibly elsewhere, i really haven’t researched it yet : i just checked it was safe before taking it and figured i would finish off the research later. It is loaded with mescaline, something that can cure depression & addictions and, i think, things like post traumatic stress disorder, ie “soldier syndrome”. Maybe not a coincidence, eh ? I mean think about it : Ayahuasca, Peyote, and “Magic Mushrooms” all have this sort of properties to them. And you know what else? They make you smarter. 😉 Ok, ok, i can’t substantiate that last claim but they certainly do help you “elevate” your awareness and conscience. I’d argue that is a form of intelligence improvement. Discovering such notions as unconditional love make tremendous sense when it comes to preserving life. And making this place better for us all, and i don’t mean just us fancy monkey types.
Peyote is something you’d normally eat fresh, raw. You chop the top off this cactus, eat it, cover it with earth & let it grow back. Well, mine came in the form of powder, white powder. Had no smell to it other than a vague planty smell. You put it in a cup & add water. Stir and enjoy the bitterness. And it was freekin bitter, no kidding. I had a hard time finishing it, but it’s child’s play when compared to Ayahuasca (see ‘The Brew‘ page for more on that).
Now you know Ayahuasca requires a hefty preparation, right. Well this doesn’t. Or so it seems. Now i don’t know if that is completely wrong or what, but what i saw were people drinking beer & Coke before the ceremony, and we were even offered coffee by our Huichol Indian hosts. Sweet Jesus are they nuts!?! 😯 Ayahuasca forbids coffee, sodas, alcohol and a whole bunch of other things — a week out already. So imagine my surprise when i see this shamanically dressed dude with his huge Coke bottle and other attendants sporting a can of Modelo Especial in their hand. Wasn’t all this supposed to be about ‘wisdom’ ? I can’t remember reading that ingredient on the side of a Coke bottle.
There is quite a bit of ceremony. Too much for me? I’m an atheist. I think. Quite frankly i don’t know why things form when you vibrate sand or water. Things with the exact same specific proportions, from a grain of sand to a galaxy. Science has a long way to go if it wants to explain these things, and i think that when it gets far enough it will join up with what it desperately despises : ‘spirit’. The so-called ‘spirit world’ and science are just two views of the same thing : all this conscience “shit” is real and science will just have to live with it. It will try to explain things that probably can’t even fit inside our minds. It is pretty arrogant to think you can explain everything — and indeed Ayahuasca teaches you that you know nothing. Especially when you’re stuck inside a silly little body on a pebble in space. Conscience sits out there, in there, all around and everywhere in between…not just in the brain. The brain receives like a receiver will. Tune out and silence is all there is to hear. Yet the signal is still there. Tune in and…’your’ “reality” becomes irrelevant. Hmm, where was I ? Oh yeah, i’m an atheist.
Too much ceremony doesn’t work for me because it all seems like bollocks, if you see what i mean. I don’t mean to be rude, only to get the message through. Traditions, cults…they don’t appeal to me. So when i am told i cannot drink water after taking the Peyote because water is a pure element and god knows what, but i can drink Coke if i want cos it’s not pure…well that soft lump of fat in my skull kicks in and a ‘BS’ warning light goes on on the dashboard. Today i spoke with a banker and he had tried Ayahuasca. Imagine that. And he told me the same thing, but with different words : the ceremony can distract you from your own experience. Other people dancing around the fire can impede on your experience. Now, when in Rome do as the Romans do, i know. Yeah well they almost wiped themselves out, remember, so screw that. 😉 Naaah, all this ceremonious lark, it just ain’t for me, sorry. Or maybe i just don’t want to make the effort. Overcome my misplaced pride when it comes to dancing : i just don’t. There’s judgement for you. Judgement of me, you, them, heck bleeding everyone. So i “can’t” dance. Stupid. One day i’ll get over myself. Twat.
The effects? Hmm. A bit of nausea, no visions, a bit of that familiar vibration in the hands, arms & legs. That healthy feeling the medicine is working its way through your veins. Oh! And guess what! I had that all day today. A week after. Yep, that’s right, a week later. Because i got a massage yesterday, a really good one. And i think the oil she used has Peyote in it, not sure, will check. I mentioned it to her and she said that the Peyote got reactivated because i really let myself go during the massage. She does massage pretty much everything except your private parts. It was nice. Better than previous massages with other people. She’s into this stuff too.
The ceremony took place in the mountains, above Guanajuato, about 2500m above sea level. We were fortunate, the sky was clear, the stars were amazing. They all joined up an hour or so into the experience : it became obvious they were all linked, like the branches of a tree. By smaller stars, constellation : the “bigger” brighter ones weren’t any different than the ones “behind” & less bright, everything was joined up together, all of these stars were of the same, brightness was irrelevant. The big embracing mother of a tree next to the stars proved a reliable source of inspiration, i am sure.
Lying down inside my sleeping bag, with the wind travelling right through it straight at me, i engaged in a battle against cold for hours. Why didn’t i bring more blankets ?!? A plastic cover of some sort ?! Oh hell this is going to be a long night. We arrived around 18.30 and we drank 2 hours behind schedule, at 23.07. By 3 or 4am i was starting to imagine myself making my way back to the car and back home : after all, my warm comfy bed full of blankets was just a 5 minute drive down the hill.
After a few hours it became evident i wasn’t going to be offered a second dose, no one was. Not consistent with what i had been told, not promised. I was hoping for it, if not expecting it. How these other guys could be so out of their minds on just one silly dose hours ago was beyond me. After a few hours i crawled out of my cocoon and stood by the fire with some other folks, which was nice & warm on one side while the other side of me got cold. Then i’d switch. This one guy was staring at the stars and repeating over & over a-bloody-gain (in Spanish) ‘wow! how cool!’, ‘the stars!’, ‘going back & forth in time’, ‘so cool!’…i wanted him to shut the fuck up. I still do. I’ll let you guess my reasons. This was bullshit! No effects, apart from that weird star stuff, and now i’m stuck here till this thing ends at 9am ! FUCK ME !
When the ceremony fiiinaaallllyyy ended, the master of ceremony & the other shamanic types hugged each & every one of us. I was last in line and when he arrived to hug me i could really feel he wasn’t doing it out of pleasure. He seemed disappointed with me. Later on he & the other Huichols were talking and he was crying. I felt it had something to do with me but probably didn’t, heck the world doesn’t revolve around you, Yann ! Jesus, what was i thinking.
Just give me the bleeding cactus, mate, and let’s skip all the dancing around the fire and the feathers & fancy dress. I will try Peyote again. What happened here is that i realized it was the same family as Ayahuasca : the same vibrational feeling in my veins, the same feeling it is doing me good, working its way through me. The same “better” feeling the next day. More peace, stronger resolutions, feeling your conscience slowly elevate one step further. A step further on the road i have chosen. Mushrooms, San Pedro and who knows what else are just around the corner. I am seeking out a provider of Ayahuasca, i am pretty sure i will grow my own mushrooms at some point, and i am going to ask around about a cactus or two. A greenhouse might not be too far away.
This is one weird experience. If i signed up for it i must have been out of my mind. What is the point of all those sperms who don’t make it, i wonder. How the hell did i get through that, and why did i want it so bad? We are all winners here. We won that battle before we even grew a brain.
Oh, Peyote is a male spirit, i have been told. Ayahuasca is feminine. I can’t really confirm that yet but i will let you know if i find out.
Price : 400 Pesos, plus 45 Pesos to camp in the national park.

Mediapart sur l’Ayahuasca : cet article qui tue tous les jours la conscience de ses lecteurs
05 Aug 2014 Leave a comment
Je viens de tomber sur un article de Mediapart intitulé ‘L’Ayahuasca, la drogue Amazonienne qui tue chaque année plusieurs touristes en mal de sensations‘.
Voilà un article bien objectif ! Premièrement, on ne dit pas ‘malgré que’, Caro Nashoba. Ensuite, la seule chose qui ressort de votre article est une évidente (pour moi, en tous cas) méconnaissance du sujet et mêmes des “faits” relatés. Tristement, cela n’est pas évident pour les lecteurs qui commentent parfois ‘intéressant’, etc. Effrayant et vraiment triste.
Le titre en dit long sur le biais de l’article, c’est un peu comme Fox News qui met toujours ‘terroristes’ dans ses titres sur les Palestiniens. Le manque d’objectivité est flagrant : quid de la comparaison avec les substances non seulement légales mais préscrites par nos ‘médecins’ en France et en occident ? Combien de morts chaque année en France pour le médicament X ? Ah mais cela, tout le monde s’en fout, hein ! Peu importe que des milliers de personnes meurent suite à la consommation de produits préscrits par nos médecins, mais un ou deux morts liés de près ou de loin à l’Ayahuasca et là c’est un scandale. Essayez donc, Caro, de titrer avec la même ferveur un article sur un “médicament” sorti des labos…j’attends avec impatience un article 1000 fois plus féroce puisqu’on parle de 1000 fois plus de morts.
Prenons Kyle Nolan, ce jeune Américain mort au centre Shimbre, depuis fermé. L’auteur de l’article, elle, est certaine que sa mort est dûe à la consommation de l’Ayahuasca. Etrange, car même l’autopsie n’a conclue à rien de tel. Auriez-vous des dons supernaturels, Caro Nashoba ? Même le père de Kyle, Sean Nolan, dit ‘je crois qu’on a assassiné mon fils car personne ne meurt d’Ayahuasca’. On a donc ses proches et les autorités qui concluent que ce n’est pas l’Ayahuasca, ou en tous cas qu’il n’y a aucune raison de croire que sa mort fut causée par l’Ayahuasca, mais l’auteur, elle, nous affirme que si. Vous appelez ça du journalisme, vous ? Moi j’appelle ça de la propagande ou de la désinformation, au choix.
L’Ayahuasca est utilisée depuis des milliers d’années par des communautés bien plus intelligentes que vous et moi à bien des égards. Des scientifques de tous bords ont testé cliniquement l’Ayahuasca et la DMT (cherchez ‘The Spirit Molecule’ et Dr Rick Strassman, entre autres) et ce qui en ressort est formidable : guérison d’addictions et de dépressions, même chroniques. Personnellement j’ai eu des effets miraculeux au niveau anxiété qu’aucun “médicament” occidental n’aurait jamais pu produire sans détruire mes neurones et annihiler ma conscience, sans parler de toutes sortes d’effets secondaires pires que le mal initial.
Quant au Français Patrice Champion, il n’était apparemment pas préparé, or la préparation est indispensable. Il faut se sevrer de TOUS LES “MEDICAMENTS” jusqu’à 6 semaines à l’avance (surtout les anti-dépresseurs et anti-psychotiques), éviter l’alcool, éviter la viande, les produits laitiers, le sucre, les sodas, le café…et ne manger en résumé que des choses naturelles telles que légumes et fruits. L’auteur de ce triste article s’est-elle demandée si ce n’était pas l’interaction avec certains médicaments qui avaient causé le décès ? S’il avait pris d’abord l’Ayahuasca et ensuite les médicaments occidentaux, serait-ce alors la faute des médicaments qu’il soit mort ? Comment accuser l’un sans accuser l’autre ? En fait, si ce fut à cause d’un tel mélange, ce ne fut ni à cause de l’un ni à cause de l’autre mais à cause de Patrice Champion qui n’a tout simplement pas fait la préparation nécessaire. Cette responsabilité était la sienne, à lui de se renseigner avant de partir.
Ma recommandation à vous, Caro Nashoba : venez faire l’expérience de ce dont vous parlez au lieu de parler de choses qui vous sont inconnues et de manière malhonnête ou tout au moins biaisée. Vous ne le regretterez pas et je peux vous recommander certaines personnes. Votre vie changera et jamais plus vous n’écrirez dans l’obscurité de l’ignorance sur l’Ayahuasca, un vrai médicament du corps et de l’esprit, contrairement à ces médicaments qui ont fait de la France un des pays les plus malades au monde.
