Ketamine & Kambo
Ketamine addiction is rising — and Kambo can help heal the root cause
If you are suffering with ketamine use, or you love someone who is, this matters.
Ketamine addiction is rising fast. Across the UK and globally.
Not because people are reckless. But because they are trying to survive how they feel.
Why ketamine use has increased so sharply
Ketamine has moved from underground use into clinics.
It is now used as:
Assisted psychotherapy
IV infusions for depression
Treatment-resistant mental health support
For many people, ketamine does something nothing else has.
It gives:
Temporary relief from emotional pain
Neuroplasticity
Reduced rumination
A sense of meaning
A feeling of connection and belonging
For someone who has lived in despair, that can feel like oxygen.
They are not chasing a high.
They are chasing relief.
When use becomes overuse
The problem is not ketamine itself.
It is what happens next.
Without deep integration and nervous system healing:
The relief fades
The dose increases
The frequency increases
The body takes the hit
Psychological reliance forms
Overuse and addiction is dangerous.
Ketamine misuse can lead to:
Bladder and kidney damage
Cognitive impairment
Emotional instability
Dissociation from the body
Increased risk of overdose and death
What began as survival slowly becomes another source of harm.
Addiction is not the root problem
Ketamine addiction is not the illness. It is the signal.
Underneath, we often see:
Trauma
Long-term depression
Emotional suppression
Nervous system dysregulation
A body stuck in survival mode
Until the root cause is addressed, stopping the drug alone is rarely enough.
How Kambo supports ketamine recovery
Kambo heals what Ketamine can’t. Kambo offers a permanent life shifting healing unlike Ketamine.
Kambo works in a completely different way to Ketamine.
It is not a psychedelic.
It does not dissociate you.
It brings you back into your body.
Kambo supports recovery by helping to:
Reduce cravings
Interrupt compulsive drug-taking patterns
Reset the endogenous opioid system
Regulate the nervous system
Clear inflammatory and stress load
Reconnect you to embodied safety
Many people report a natural loss of desire to use substances after Kambo.
Not through force.
Through regulation.
Healing the cause, not just stopping the drug
What makes Kambo different is depth.
Kambo works on:
The body
The nervous system
Emotional processing
Trauma held below conscious awareness
This allows the system to address:
Why ketamine was needed in the first place
What the body was trying to escape from
Where safety was lost
When the root heals, the behaviour changes.
Ketamine has a place — with care
Ketamine is an interesting and powerful medicine.
In controlled settings, with proper support, it can help some people.
But when it becomes the only way to cope, the body is asking for something deeper.
Relief is not the same as healing.
A different path forward
Kambo creates deep change.
At The Kambo Clinic, we work with people who:
Want to stop ketamine use
Feel stuck in cycles of relapse
Are exhausted by fighting cravings
Want to heal rather than numb
Want to discover their purpose and find meaning in life again.
This work is trauma-informed.
Grounded.
Held with care.
The peptides in Kambo — and how they support lasting healing
Kambo works because of its bioactive peptides.
These peptides communicate directly with your body’s systems.
Not by forcing change.
By restoring balance.
This is why the effects are often long-lasting, not short-term relief.
Below are the key peptides in Kambo and how they support permanent healing when combined with proper preparation, therapy, and integration.
Dermorphin
Endogenous pain and emotional regulation
Binds to opioid receptors naturally
Produces deep pain relief
Supports emotional calming
Does not create dependency
Why this matters
Ketamine overstimulates relief pathways from the outside.
Dermorphin helps your body remember how to self-regulate pain and emotion.
This supports long-term craving reduction.
Deltorphin
Mood stabilisation and emotional resilience
Works alongside dermorphin
Enhances mood regulation
Supports emotional grounding
Improves stress tolerance
Why this matters
Many people use ketamine to escape emotional overwhelm.
Deltorphin helps stabilise mood from within, reducing the need to escape.
Sauvagine
Stress response and nervous system reset
Regulates the HPA axis
Supports cortisol balance
Helps shift the body out of fight-or-flight
Encourages parasympathetic activation
Why this matters
Addiction often lives in a chronically stressed nervous system.
Sauvagine helps the body relearn safety.
This is foundational for lasting change.
Adenoregulin
Inflammation reduction and cellular protection
Powerful anti-inflammatory peptide
Supports immune modulation
Protects cells under stress
Improves recovery capacity
Why this matters
Chronic ketamine use increases inflammation and cellular stress.
Reducing this load allows the brain and body to heal properly.
Phyllomedusin
Gut–brain communication and detox support
Influences smooth muscle function
Supports detox pathways
Impacts gut–brain signalling
Why this matters
Addiction is deeply linked to gut health and emotional processing.
Healing the gut helps stabilise mood, cravings, and cognition.
Phyllokinin
Circulation and oxygen delivery
Vasodilator
Improves blood flow
Enhances tissue oxygenation
Why this matters
Better circulation supports brain recovery, emotional clarity, and nervous system repair after substance overuse.
Caerulein
Digestive regulation and appetite balance
Stimulates bile flow
Supports digestion
Helps regulate appetite and satiety
Why this matters
Substance misuse often disrupts appetite and digestion.
Restoring gut function supports emotional stability and long-term wellbeing.
Why this healing can be permanent
Kambo does not override the body.
It re-educates it.
These peptides:
Reset dysregulated systems
Restore natural opioid balance
Reduce inflammatory drivers
Support nervous system safety
Improve gut–brain communication
When the body no longer lives in survival mode,
the craving loses its job.
That is how change lasts.
Bringing it back to ketamine recovery
Ketamine helped many people survive unbearable emotional states.
That deserves respect.
But survival is not the end goal.
Kambo supports:
Stopping cravings
Interrupting compulsive use
Healing trauma held in the body
Rebuilding regulation and resilience
Addressing why ketamine was needed in the first place
This is not suppression.
It is resolution.
If you or someone you love is struggling
Ask this:
What is the body still trying to protect itself from
What would change if safety was restored internally
What happens when healing replaces coping
At The Kambo Clinic, this work is done slowly, safely, and with deep support.
You are not your addiction.
You adapted.
And your system can heal.
