My time in Peru has been full of new experiences and this morning was certainly no exception! I participated in a small Kambô frog medicine ceremony to cleanse my body and nervous system. Taking frog medicine is a little like a long detox squished into just one small hour so you can just imagine how intense my experience was.

The process of the medicine is intense in itself, and I can guarantee that you’re going to think I’m crazy when I tell you what this process actually involves. So let me first tell you how I feel now, just hours after the medicine.

I feel a little bit like a superhero. Not so much in strength but more in clarity, awareness and strength of my “outer body” or energy field. It is recommended that after the medicine has passed that you have a shower to continue the cleansing process. Late this morning as I was standing in the shower shortly after the medicine has passed, I was taking note of how amazing I felt. In fact I’d go as far as saying that I felt better than I have ever had in my entire life. That is a big call.

What the medicine does to cleanse the body and system is a little too complicated for me to try and describe it in this article, so I’m going to refer you to a great article by Marcelo Bolshaw Gomes at Ayahuasca.com. It’s definitely worth a read to find out more about this detoxing medicine – Kambô, The Spirit Of The Shaman

As I said earlier in this article, the application and process of the medicine itself is quite intense and it was something that I was very nervous about leading up to the ceremony. The practitioner begins by burning points in the very top layer of your skin, usually with an incense stick. For my first time I received four points or burns to the skin. I was actually very worried about this process but now that I’ve been through it, I can safely tell you that this burning of the skin hurts less than getting an injection or needle. And I received my burns on my leg which is supposed to be one of the more painful areas. Continue reading →

Over the last four days I traveled with a friend away from the coast and into farmland area of Eastern Australia. We first visited my friends parents farm which is a five hour drive south west of my home city, Brisbane, then moved on for a further three hours to her brothers property. These two farming areas were calm, peaceful and absolutey stunning. I had no idea that such oasis’s existed amongst bushland Australia.

The friend I traveled with needed a break, in fact we both did. Since returning home from overseas I’d been working my butt off to get High on Health back on track which had taken a toll on my health. Last week I developed a big ball of tension in the back of my head just above my neck, which I hadn’t had for almost 15 years. My energy was also a little off, I was floating between super hyperactive and dead exhausted. This was made worse by plenty of self medication of theobromine in the form of cacao and yerba mate tea. I was a bundle of stress and roller coaster of emotion and was heading towards a fast crash and burn. Continue reading →

Wow, this is day four of my super strict 100% raw anti-candida cleanse, and it feels like the easiest cleanse I’ve done so far. I don’t even feel like I’m on one to be honest.

It feels kind of strange because I launched myself into this without knowing much about it, and with very little preparation. It’s almost like I was gently pushed into the cleanse by some external force! I guess something bigger than me knew what they were doing because two days into the cleanse as I was skating along the river thinking about what I’d got myself in to, I realized that every part of my body, every little physical and energetic cell was screaming “This is right!!!”. And so here I am, on another detox :)

This is a three month Candida, fungus, yeast and mold cleanse. I’ll be following the raw food guidelines in Dr Gabriel Cousens Phase 1 of the Rainbow Green detox, or cleanse, or diet (whatever you want to call it really). And to make it even more powerful I’ll be taking homeopathic and herbal treatments to get rid of that Candida overgrowth.
