INDIGENOUS CULTURES / HERBAL HEALING "Plant Spirit Shamanism takes readers into realms that defy rational logic and scientific theory, showing graphically that we humans are not the only intelligent life on this planet. From their extensive travels to indigenous cultures that understand life very differently from those in the 'developed' world, the authors reveal a wealth of plant knowledge that has been lost to Western civilization. This book is both a fascinating read and a considerable challenge to the orthodox mind." --Leo Rutherford, author of The Way of Shamanism and Your Shamanic Path In Plant Spirit Shamanism, Ross Heaven and Howard G. Charing explore the use of one of the major allies of shamans for healing, seeing, dreaming, and empowerment--plant spirits. After observing great similarities in the use of plants among shamans throughout the world, they discovered the reason behind these similarities: Rather than dealing with the "medical properties" of the plants or specific healing techniques, shamans are communing with the spirits of the plants themselves. From their years of in-depth shamanic work in the Amazon, Haiti, and Europe, including extensive field interviews with master shamans, Heaven and Charing present the core methods of plant shamanism used in healing rituals the world over: soul retrieval, spirit extraction, sin eating, and the Amazonian tradition of pusanga (love medicine). They explain the techniques shamans use to establish connections to plant spirits and provide practical exercises as well as a directory of traditional Amazonian and Caribbean healing plants and their common North American equivalents so readers can explore the world of plant spirits andmake them allies of their own. ROSS HEAVEN is a therapist and workshop leader specializing in personal development, healing, and shamanism. He offers indigenous medicine retreats and workshops worldwide. His books include The Spiritual Practices of the Ninja, Darkness Visible, and Vodou Shaman. Howard G. Charing is a director of the Eagle Wing's Centre for Contemporary Shamanism, has taught at Dr. Michael Harner's Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and leads workshops and medicine retreats in the United Kingdom, the Peruvian Amazon basin, and the Andes. Both authors live in England.

Malinger (feign illness)? Even many people suffer from various pains, discomfort, disease, all kinds of tests show normal. What's wrong? 1. Modern medicine may treat less than 30% of various diseases, but the general population believes medical doctors treat 80-100%. 2.Most tests can't find the cancer cells less than 5mm. Then there is no cancer. Now you see the picture. Factors that cause cancer 1.Damp heat As far as I know, I am the first one who has claimed the damp heat is the cause of cancer. If we don't know the real cause, we are not able to prevent and fight against the cancer. I would like to receive the Nobel Prize based on this fact. If everyone follows and keeps the contents of this book, cancer can be prevented very easily. 2.The lack of immune system When the immune system is low, cancer cells would grow and the body can't best the cancer cells. How to increase the immunity? 3.Chemical and environmental causes This is true, but it is almost impossible to cope with them as an individual.
