    Some thousand miles south/west Toronto Shamans and Doctors work together and succeed healing people in a way that none by itself alone could. They hold different wisdoms and knowledges…. Any way, it is the quality of the person behind the “doctor” or shaman, what really matters. Shamanism is not a synonym of improvisation and lies.We have another name for that : it is “curandero”… curar means also to heal, or “brujo” closer to sorcerer, … well, in a world so rich in fantasy and beliefs we can get lost among charms and spells and beverages and potions…. the lines that sepparate one term from another are so thin…….. but it is true that many doctors act as “curanderos” …. pretending to know what they do not.

    Yeah, it was a bit of a pointless tirade against the medical profession (and religion, for good measure). Tomorrow, after the test results, I’ll hopefully be more positive and more coherent. And more useful.

    well, you might rework it a bit to be more friendly, still it contained a lot of truth.And a lot of things people need to hear, so they take responsibility for their bodies back.
