Other people’s work
Keeper Trout has done the most thorough work on these cacti that exists, and much of it is free at troutsnotes.com.
An alkaloid list is only as long as the analysis that made it, which is worth holding on to before comparing one plant with another.
Javier Regueiro came to Peru in 2004, built a healing center of his own by hand, and wrote four books. The first of them is one of the most honest written in English about this plant.
