Message from Mum


Hola Everyone

This is Lakshmi emailing on behalf of Roberto on the eve of my departure to the jungle.

Yesterday, i went into Iquitos to have an interview with a medical doctor that Simon had arranged for Liz to film at a botanical research centre in Iquitos. ( research centre for traditional medicine)
In the botanical garden we were eating and filming the medicinal plants of the Amazon and Northern Peru. I feel this lovely man/medico will feature strongly in the documentary as he has much to share about the medicines in respect to research and treatment of disease. He gave a most lucid and emotional description of his own personal experience with Ayahuasca. He asked for me to come see him at his clinic in a month after i finish my work on a special diet with the female healer Ayahuascera found recently in the jungle.

After driving for hours out of Iquitos with a stop for some coconut juice we finally found where to she studied my breasts and lymph and lung and said i will need to stay up to 3 weeks or longer working hard every day with medicines baths washes and emplastos (herb brassiere and be on a special diet called dieta no salt no sugar no meat!

Hope to let you know more at the end of this treatment.

Love you Lakshmi
