The medicinal mixture is obtained from a toad called Bufo Alvarius, which lives in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico. A toxin, which contains the active substance 5-MeO-DMT, is extracted from its glands. The toxin is also present in various types of plants of European and Asian origin, such as Yopo.
No toad ever gets hurt in the process. Organic 5-MeO-DMT is a neurotransmitter that is also found naturally in the human brain. The human body produces it in the pineal gland: in small amounts in positive moods such as joy and euphoria and in greater quantities during deep sleep, at birth, and at death.
It is considered “brain food” because the brain processes it in a similar way to glucose. When you consume 5-MeO-DMT, your body increases the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, melatonin, (tryptamine), and enzymes that promote healing and regeneration of the body, thereby releasing significant amounts of unconsciously accumulated stress and unblocking the immune system. This commences a gradual process that remedies and heals self-inflicted physical, mental, and/or emotional disorders or illnesses.
How is the medicine taken?
By smoking: inhaling, holding the smoke in for a few seconds, and exhaling it.
How long does the effect last?
The ritual or the time to reach the climax with the toad medicine is from 15 to 30 minutes. It totally depends on the person and how their body reacts. The drug continues to work for several days, gradually weakening. In some cases, it it may last for months.
* Conscience, will, environmental influences, habits (food, vices, thoughts, emotions) all play an important role here. These factors can sabotage your progress on the toad medicine path to inner healing; or they can help you enhance your improvement in your healing and inner work if you choose to employ them and you do so to our advantage.
Changes in your life will be gradual. Some people with enlarged ego may fail to see the change but others around them do. All secondary changes resulting from toad medicine use are for the better. Always for the better.
How does it feel to smoke the toad medicine?
Depending on the state of consciousness or level of intoxication, the participant may experience some of the following experiences/sensations during the ritual/culmination of the toad treatment:
- Massive release of pent-up stress (conscious or unconscious).
- Dissolving unconscious cellular memories that cause addictions, compulsions, psychosomatic illnesses, mania, and suffering.
- Partial or complete disconnection from the physical and/or visual reality (because it modifies our perception/point of connection).
- Communion with the environment (being here and now).
- Feeling of being thrown into the void at a high speed (lack of self-control).
- Feeling as if your body exploded into thousands or millions of particles (as some synapse networks are restructuring in your brain).
- Release of emotions or feelings previously repressed in our life(s).
- Communion with your consciousness, as the ego disconnects as the prime mover (especially during the ritual/climax of the toad cure treatment).
What happens when the ritual/climax of the toad cure ends?
Having used organic 5-MeO-DMT, you will experience feelings of deep release of your traumatic emotional burden. In fact, pent-up stress will continue to be released for several hours or even days.
You will find that your ego has been broken, reduced or minimized, allowing you to appreciate and value everyday things more intensely and feel more alive and present.
Is the toad medicine addictive?
It has been scientifically proven that consuming 5-MeO-DMT does not cause any type of addiction. Quite the opposite: it breaks up addictions, dependencies, manias, and compulsions. There is a clinic in Rosarito, Baja California, where drug addicts are treated using the toad medication.
* It should be noted that there is no record to date of consumption of organic 5-MeO-DMT having harmful side effects on the body or adverse consequences directly or indirectly related to physical, mental or emotional health.
* It should also be noted that synthetic DMT exists and is not the same as organic 5-MeO-DMT.
* The toad practitioner works on their own. For them, the ritual is one of accompanying those who want to discover the medicine in order to improve or get to know themselves.
