At least fees aren't mentioned explicitely.

AndreasWinsnes:
Incredible that you took the time to translate these text! As Leudar wrote: "I Respect your zeal to uncover frauds." Thanks.

But when the text mentions savages, it might be better to translate it as "the wild ones". At least it makes me laugh...

Ingeborg:


There are not too many German language sites about P.G., but here's some more.

http://www.ceteem.info/ayahuasca.html

This is a report written by a woman who participated in an Ayahuasca 'ceremony' with P.G. as a shame-on in Austria.

This is about the camp run by PG - and here money does get mentioned, however, there's no amounts specified.

"'Camp Don Pedro' is right in the middle of the rainforest on Rio Tamshiyacu [sic], about 20 minutes by boat from the Rio Amazon. 'Camp Don Pedro' in 2005 was the special place where shamans from various continents met. A documentary film about this meeting was done by well-known Swiss filmmaker Orsa Pinkus.

SPIRITUAL CEREMONIES IN THE JUNGLE

Don Pedro guides the nightly ceremony with his mystic songs, the icaros. Amazonian plants support the deep cleansing of spirit and body.

"Camp Don Pedro" offers the unique possibility to explore the jungle every day in a canoe without risk. It enables a vital deepening of the spiritual experience in the rainforst.

Laundry will be done by personnel. The water used for the laundry is taken from a well built for this purpose. The water is of best quality.

STUDYING MEDICINE PLANTS

Close to the camp there is a huge medicine plant garden. Don Pedro plans to extent this garden to 1,000 different plants. For the project of "1,000 medicine plants", he is looking for friends who can show enthusiasm for this idea. Don Pedro presently still is very inclined to share his knowledge with visitors.

DIETS FOR CHRONIC CIVILISATORY DISEASES
The effectiveness of the powerful healing plants will be intensified by the diet. There are special diet houses which enable retreat into loneliness. Food will consist of fish, yucca, and bananas. The complex phyto-therapeutic treatment offers new hope with some diseases viewed as incurable by Western standards. The preparation of many plant medicines is included in the price per day.


SHAMANIC DIETS....

In special guarded 'diet houses', it is possible to do the ascetic diet usual in Amazonian curanderismo, directly under Don Pedro's personal protection. Every possible week of this diet with Don Pedro was seen as an elementary and existential experience by persons from our culture. Nature spirits here are very open for dialogue and gladly help the soul to grow wings. This ambitious way to a development of senses as a spiritual discipline opens the path to shamanic power dreams of our human existence.


CURANDERO TRAINING
A training to become a curandero means an at least one year's retreat into the jungle with a special limitation of foodstuffs. The aim is to achieve at a vivid contact with the spiritual beings of nature as personal teachers. In former times there were masters who went on this diet for up to 15 years. They were called 'Sumis'. Don Pedro's uncle, Don Eleutherio, was a "Sumi". It is said that he did not die but transformed and now continues to live in Rio Tamishiyacu.

A list of recommendations for those who decide to go on this diet:
- don't use conventional toothpaste. There are biological ones like [brand names omitted].
- don't use shower gel/soap or hair shampoo
- don't touch humans and animals
- don't throw rests of the diet into the garbage and don't feed animals with leftovers
- avoid direct sunlight, take an umbrella for boat trips
- don't sell/buy stuff during the diet
- sexual abstinence is a must
- talk about all medication prescribed to Don Pedro

Depending on the plant(s) eaten during the diet, not keeping these recommendations may have unpleasant consequences. A high degree of responsibility and ability to agree are a prerequisite for achieving the aims desired.
Contra-indications for a stay:
Dependence on drugs/medication/alcohol
A stable psychic situation is a prerequisite."
