Kambo for Cancer

Cancer. Ugh.

Let’s wax poetic about Dermaseptin B2, one of many peptides found in the Kambo secretion, blocked the growth of prostate cancer in mice by promoting cell death [R].

Dermaseptin B2 also stopped the growth of many human cancers in cell studies, including mouth cancer, prostate cancer, and brain tumors [R, R, R, R].

Additionally, in cellular studies, Dermaseptin B2 blocked processes that led to new blood vessel growth, which is useful in treating cancer because it blocks the flow of nutrients to growing tumors [R, R].

When nanoparticles were used to deliver dermaseptin to cancer cells, it had a stronger anticancer effect [R].

To be clear, I am not a doctor nor do I make medical claims. Here I am just sharing some of the science behind Kambo, for your entertainment.
