El Suri: Gusano comestible en la Amazonía

El Suri es un gusano que crece en las palmeras como la Shapaja o el aguaje, cuando estas se caen y se llenan de estos gusanos que se comen entre los naturales de nuestra amazonía. Se comen preparados como chicharrones, en una comida típica que se llama la patarascha o como pinches o especie de anticuchos. Dicen que son muy sabrosos. En algunas chacras privadas dicen que se hacen unos huecos en el tronco de estas palmeras caídas y orinan dentro de él para que los gusanos se establezcan allí. Pero normalmente se encuentran en el "monte", adonde los buscadores de esta delicadeza, van a buscarlo y emprenden una dura labor para colectarlos y luego venderlos en los mercados. Aqui van dos videos que ilustran lo dicho.

Documentary Film about IBOGAINE (Full Version)





From Top Documentary Films:

Ibogaine is a substance that is derived from the root of an African plant that grows in Gabon. This plant is originally used during initiations of the Bwiti culture, but in the sixties the anti-addictive properties of this psychoactive substance were discovered by Howard Lotsof.
Ibogaine is surrounded by controversy. The decisions about the use of Ibogaine in the treatment of addiction appear to be made on political and economical, rather than rational basis.
Despite the results that show the efficacy of Ibogaine, the pharmaceutical companies and the government show no interest and stay skeptical. Ibogaine has provided us with more insight in the mechanisms of addiction and the question if it needs to be used for treating this huge western problem gets more and more acknowledgment.
Cy (34) has been using a mixture of heroine and amphetamine for about 11 years, but his three children and his ambitions are more valuable to him. Kicking his addiction is a tough job for him. It reveals all his suppressed emotions.
Moussavou (22) lives in the village Mitoné in Gabon. For her the traditional African initiation is part of healing process. She suffered from an illness for more than a year and she hopes that eating the holy plant will be the starting point of a new phase in her life.
This 50 minute documentary shows the different aspects of this special substance by means of personal experiences and explanations of ex-addicts, treatment providers and experts.

Todo Dios Cabe en Internet: Sor Lucía Caram

Hay veces me alcanzan algunos mensajes que me parecen de suma importancia para crear reflexión de quiénes somos y adonde debemos de ir.  En esta oportunidad aparece el mensaje de esta monjita que nos da un "rezondrón religioso" en 5 minutos: Sor Lucía Caram es una monja que no tiene pelos en la lengua y que nos habla de encontrar a un Dios cuya cara se refleja en todos nosotros, nos habla de servicio, compromiso y amor con los desposeídos, con los que tienen menos que nosotros, nos habla de una propaganda auténtica de la doctrina de Jesús; de una doctrina que no es religión, que no es un grupo de creencias enclaustradas, sino un modo de vida.
