daily work of the shaman - not in a closed quiet room :-)

I've read a few accounts of the situation you're talking about in your comment, and sadly, most anthropologists seem to just play off whatever success such treatment has as the placebo effect in action. Ethnocentrism seems to prevail, especially when results cannot be quantified in a data set of some sort.

@autumnenergy See: Breggin dot com Watch his testimony before Congress, check out his books. Then see the film "Healing Cancer: from inside out" (it covers much more than just Cancer). Check out the books "When Healing Becomes A Crime" and "The Gerson Therapy" And learn to distrust the so-called experts. Follow the money.

Not always true. I always hope and try not to believe in them remedies when I got the flu. Unfortunately they work when I don't want them to :(
