Baal, also known as Dr. A, is the visionary founder of the Bufo Alvarius Sanctuary and serves as the instructor and host of the Bufo Academy. This academy offers a hands-on training program designed as a follow-up to an online course.

Baal's journey with Bufo Alvarius began a decade ago with a profound spiritual awakening. Six years ago, he established his Natural Healing Center in Tulum, where he has successfully operated without incident. During the high season, this center employs eight dedicated facilitators and conducts up to a dozen sessions daily.

Baal's pioneering approach, branded as Bufo Alvarius therapy, has significantly boosted the popularity of this powerful natural medicine, thanks in part to endorsements from celebrities, television coverage, and documentaries. His work has transformed Tulum into a hub for this entheogenic medicine and inspired other facilitators to follow in his footsteps.
