An actress died during a bizarre spiritual cleansing ritual at a retreat in Mexico, when she took the venom of an Amazonian frog and suffered severe vomiting while being denied medical treatment, report said.
Marcela Alcázar Rodríguez, 33, died on Dec. 1 after ingesting Kambo — a gluey, poisonous substance produced on the skin of the Amazon’s giant monkey frog — during a toxin cleansing ritual in Durango.
Though Rodríguez suffered a sever reaction to the poison, she initially was denied medical attention by the retreat before finally being taken to a Red Cross hospital, where she died, witnesses said, according to local reports.
The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Durango has launched an investigation into the actress’ death as authorities searched for the shaman who ran the retreat.
**SNIP**
Kambo is a traditional medicine used by indigenous tribes of South America. It’s poison is harvested by locals who capture frogs and place them bound near a fire, causing the stressed-out frogs to secrete the kambo from their skin.

In all seriousness, there are quite a few former Special Ops guys who have gone through a psychedelics treatment. It’s quite interesting when you get into the details. What I hear though is “Ibogaine”. It flushes toxins from your system too. I do not know if the drug (or frog venom) in this story was used in their treatment, but from the testimonials I have seen, they swear by it. One vet was hooked on a number of pills, drank everyday, and had been in and out of treatment centers for years. He tried suicide. He went through this, lost something like 20 lbs in one week, and hasn’t had a pill or sip of alcohol since.

To cleanse oneself of toxins one must take toxins. Makes perfect sense.
What better way to detox than by ingesting an actual lethal toxin.
>>causes immediate and severe short-term symptoms including projectile vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate and a swollen face.
“Safe and effective”, just like the covid shots.
Good riddance to bad genes. I am sad about the CEO. Not about her.
Looks like you first “gently burn” the victim with a cigarette and then apply the venom. I was taught to just lick the toad.
Pagan worship can kill you.
Actors in the last 60 years have been known to fall for weird things like this. Actors really went for the fake humbug religion “scientology” and other nonsense. Sadly too many young people also follow them.
Anyone remember “The First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine?”
Stupid is as stupid does...
I heard this toad licking stuff packs an awesome buzz.
The shaman told her it was “safe and effective”.
Lol.
Late in the year candidate-—ONLY 25 days left.
None of those symptoms sound good. Why would you do this?

“Common sense” just isn’t that “common” anymore.
Well, that’s it. No more Amazonian Giant Monkey Frog slime for me! I’ll just have to get my projectile vomiting, diarrhea, and tachycardia somewhere else.
