El Mes De Los AMARRES | Especial Del AMOR Y LA AMISTAD

The 'Doc' recounts his experience with a 'curandera' who allegedly extracts physical objects from people's bodies during spiritual cleansings. In one instance, large pieces of dirt and dry stones, smelling like a cemetery, were pulled from a nurse's head, indicating an 'entierro' (burial spell). In another, small black stones were removed from a skeptical doctor's abdomen, suggesting a spell ingested through food. The Doc also recorded a session where stones were 'fished' from a man's back, who immediately recovered from incapacitating pain.

Doc's personal eyewitness accounts, corroborated by a skeptical doctor, and video recordings of objects (dirt, stones, bone-like material) being extracted from individuals during cleansings. The curandera claims to have removed bones, nails, glass, and even a 'live collarillo' (small snake/worm).

The episode extensively warns against 'amarres' (love spells), especially those involving the ingestion of unknown substances. Doc, from a medical perspective, explains that ingredients like Toloache are neurotoxic, causing obsession and dependence rather than genuine love, and can lead to severe organ damage. Burundanga (scopolamine) can strip a person of their will, historically used in criminal acts. The hosts emphasize the profound negative karma associated with these spells, which can affect not only the individual but also their children and future generations.

Doc's medical expertise on Toloache and Burundanga's effects (neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, renal damage). An anecdotal case of a young man who, after being 'amarrado,' suffered severe depression and attempted suicide, later vomiting 'pieces of flesh with human remains, blood, and hair' upon liberation. Paco's anecdote about a strawberry ritual for 'amarres' and the common practices of 'agua de calzón' and 'té de bolsa' (using bodily fluids) are cited as highly unsanitary and dangerous.

In response to a question about consuming human flesh, Doc explains prion diseases, which are caused by damaged proteins affecting the brain. He cites Kuru, or 'the laughing sickness,' found in a tribe where women and children consumed the brains of deceased relatives as a ritual. This practice led to uncontrollable laughter, loss of mobility, and death. He also links this to 'mad cow disease' and warns that consuming raw or undercooked meat can lead to bacterial infections like meningitis or parasitic infections like cysticercosis.

Doc's medical explanation of prions and their effects on the brain, citing historical examples like the Kuru disease in tribal communities and 'mad cow disease.' He also mentions the risks of bacterial and parasitic infections from consuming raw meat.

A taxi driver, who regularly transports a sex worker, recounts a late-night encounter at a motel. A young woman approached his taxi, asking him to deliver a message to her mother at a specific address, giving him a 200-peso bill. After a brief distraction, she vanished. The next day, when he went to deliver the message, he was arrested by police. The girl had been missing for a week, and her body was later found. Forensic evidence proved his innocence, revealing the girl had died days before their encounter, implying he had encountered her ghost.

The taxi driver's personal account, the 200-peso bill with dirt on it, the police investigation, and forensic findings (autopsy, phone records) that confirmed the girl's death occurred prior to the driver's encounter with her.
