‘Western arrogance’: how the wellness movement co-opted an Amazon frog toxin with deadly effects
“#Kambo rituals aim at physical and spiritual improvement..."

Forensic pathologist "describes the adoption of kambo and other indigenous rituals by so-called wellness healers in Australia and other countries as “an example of western arrogance”.

“The techniques of shamans and healers in Indigenous communities have been used for hundreds of years and they have been trained to safely use these substances for certain, specific situations.

“A lot of these western wellness practitioners are exploiting people’s gullibility and exploiting those who are sceptical about western medicine."

"Kambo use has now been implicated in deaths worldwide, two of them in Australia."
