Review "Adventurous, courageous, observant, self-revealing, at times funny and always raging forward, Peter Gorman reminds me that people at the margins define any endeavour. "This is a wonderful account. Peter's portrayal of sapo reminds readers that the wild is very wild indeed. CHRIS KILHAM, author of The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook, The Essential Guide To Ayahuasca Journeying "Unlike ayahuasca, the purgative venom of the Phyllomedusa bicolor tree frog, or sapo, is called "ordeal medicine" by the Matsés natives. Peter Gorman's new book charts his personal rediscovery of sapo, as well as his ongoing love story with the jungles of South America and the people and spirits that inhabit it. Gorman has gone through a tremendous ordeal to bring this timely medicine to the global tribe; reading it will not kill you, but it will make you stronger." . RAK RAZAM, author/producer Aya: Awakenings "This is pure Peter Gorman. Story telling, adventure and science rolled into one enjoyable read." LYNN CHILSON, seeker and former NASA scientist
From the Back Cover "Adventurous, courageous and foolish in fairly equal measures, Peter has drunk, snorted, inhaled and otherwise extensively fed deeply from the ingenious pharmacopoeia of the Amazonian shamans. In his latest tale Sapo In My Soul, he recounts his dramatic discovery of the use of sapo frog among the Peruvian Matsés. Using his well-developed eye for detail and driven by innate curiosity, Gorman shares his early days of sapo discovery, and sets the scene for the examination of sapo's novel peptides by pharmaceutical entities. "Observant, self-revealing, at times funny and always raging forward, Peter Gorman reminds me that people at the margins define any endeavor. Gorman, with his rough talk, his journalist's eye, his seemingly alarming lack of regard for personal safety and his various well detailed mishaps, makes an ideal narrator for this tale. Discoveries are many, and researchers are always coming up with new candidates for drug development. But in Peter Gorman's narration, the use and investigation of sapo simultaneously fascinates and entertains, albeit in an often squirmingly uncomfortable way. "This is a wonderful account. And Peter's portrayal of sapo reminds readers that the wild is very wild indeed." CHRIS KILHAM, author of The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook, The Essential Guide To Ayahuasca Journeying "Unlike ayahuasca, the purgative venom of the Phyllomedusa bicolor tree frog, or sapo, is called "ordeal medicine" by the Matsés natives.

About the Author Award-winning investigative journalist Peter Gorman has covered stories from the streets of Bombay to the heart of Manhattan to the Mexican border and beyond.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. And certainly the subject is as far away from boring as can be -- the blend of adventure By Brent S Peter Gorman is a man of many talents, with storytelling possibly ranking chief among those. He could likely make a recounting of morning oatmeal preparation the most entertaining thing you'd hear that day, which is to say that while a book about Amazonian frog medicine might not seem appealing to a wide audience at first glance, you might just be surprised how engrossing a read it is. And certainly the subject is as far away from boring as can be -- the blend of adventure, anthropology, and guidebook centered around the indigenous practice of using frog venom as a medicine is sure to set your heart racing and get your blood rushing!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Science and adventure woven together by a consummate storyteller. By CEI CEO Pure Peter Gorman.Science and adventure woven together by a consummate storyteller.Peter knows the magic and medicine of the Amazon of Peru. I first experienced Sapo during one of my very frequent trips to Iquitos and the surrounding rain forest in the early part the last decade. I admit I was misinformed and thought I might die believing we were getting ready to put the secretions from the "Poison Dart Frog" into a burn. But what the heck, I had come for adventure.Peter was not with me the first time I experienced the medicine but Julio, Peter's greatest teacher, made it clear what I was about to experience was something extraordinary. This is destined to become an important source book for all who study the medicines and rituals of the indigenous inhabitants of a rapidly vanishing world where humans and nature still live as one conscious organism.You've done it again my very dear friend.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Loved it! By Devon Wright Peter's real life experiences with the Matsés and their amazing medicines had me devouring this book. I was captivated and could hardly set it down, It's filled with great stories about his adventures on the amazon. I would recommend this book to a friend in a heartbeat, besides it being a great story of Peters discovery of Sapo, it's an amazing resource and guide to anyone interested in learning more about Sapo/Kambo and the traditional and potential modern applications of this medicine.
