I took Ayahuasca in Cusco - Ask me a question!?!

The dieta has nothing to do with purging. I have had more than 70 nights of ceremony in the past 11 years (four of my friends are shamans who lead ceremonies) and I probably purge at least half the time. I follow the dieta for 2 weeks before ceremony - no white sugar, coffee, meat, spicy foods, bread. I have had ceremonies that were physically pleasant, only to spend an hour or so purging hours or a day after ceremony. I have been in ceremonies where everyone purged and others where none of the 150 plus participants purged that night.

There are some great healers in Peru - and some who just want your money.

Ayahuasca is considered an anti-parasite among soem groups in South America. As uncomfortable as purging can be, I ALWAYS feel better and am grateful for eliminating whatever toxin/dark energy was stored in my body.

I drank in Peru only once, with a Swiss man who studied to be an ayahuascero for 11 years before I met him. Six weeks before the ceremony, I was a victim in a violent home invasion. My husband was shot with a .38 (8 1/2 inches from entry on arm to exit on his back, but the bullet didn't hit a nerve, bone or artery, thank God) and I was strangled three times, pistol whipped and beaten. I had already booked the flight to Peru before the home invasion.

Five days before the ceremony, I couldn't eat or drink water. The only thing I could stomach was coca tea. I coudln't eta a bite of rice. I had no body fat by the time I went to the ceremony, but I had tons of energy. I did 2 hours of yoga, hiked Machu Piccho twice. I was probably 115 lbs and I am 5'6'. I thought I was going to die from the purging. Not to be gross, but I went through two full buckets and out the other end, even though I had no eaten in five days. I fainted in the bathroom. I begged the medicine to stop the purging. She told me that we store trauma in our fat cells and she had to make sure I had no fat so she could do her work. She said I would never have a flashback. I still fought it in ceremony, but 12 hours later, I felt better than I had in years. 11 years later, I have never had a flashback, fear or PTSD from the violent incident.

I took five cups when all the others took one. It was with a Shaman at night time. Yes, I purged from both ends.

Ask me a question..
