“Every time a Shaman dies, it is as if a library burned down.”
I hope you will join me in reading, Tales Of A Shaman’s Apprentice, by Mark J. Plotkin, PHD. Dr. Plotkin goes to the Amazon Rainforest in search of plants with medicinal value. This book discusses his interaction with the indigenous people and the study of their culture before western culture bemoans them. On Dr. Plotkin’s first trip in the early 1980’s, he is greeted by men wearing loin cloths. During his last trip in the 1990’s he is greeted by the same men but they are now wearing Levi’s. That transformation was brought about by the pharmaceutical industry, who paid for some of Plotkin’s trips and research. Interesting.....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/014012991X/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0J84VA2Z2VS95JSTER7H&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
