I am amazed at what I’ll do to regain health. I never thought I would eat an insect in my life. But that was before I had been stricken with a persistent cough for seven days my first week in a remote part of Manu Park in the Amazon Jungle. The natives told me about a natural remedy, so I wanted to try it.
They told me it was SURI — which means beetle larvae. You see the picture above? That’s what I had to eat. They told me that if I ate that, my cough would get better. Perhaps they were trying to fool the dumb foreigner.
But I ate it, and it worked. My cough went away the next morning. I am a believer in suri. There’s nothing worse than hacking up a long all night long, which caused me to not fall asleep and then be nervous and scared the whole night wondering if a jaguar was going to eat me.
Watch me eat suri below.

I see you having your own TV show and I would watch it! Fun to watch. Were you drinking? LOL
I see me having my own show too! More to come on this in the months ahead…And the only thing I was drinking was the oil from the suri.
