Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century - Second Edition Revised and Updated for 2012

Most allopathic medicines have side effects that can range from mild to severe. The reason for this is that most of these chemicals have certain toxic properties especially when taken long-term. This is why there have been many cases of prescription drugs getting pulled out from the market even after enjoying several years of FDA approval. 

This is one reason why so many people are daily turning to herbal therapies. One good thing about herbal remedies is that they move an individual towards a lifestyle more geared toward prevention and cure in the early stages of any affliction.

Herbal medicine is a very old folk medicine that uses plant extracts in its purest, natural form in order to provide good health. Plants and chemicals have a strong and historical relationship going back to several hundred millions of years. The chemical interaction in a plant’s metabolism, offense, and defense procedures is very complex. There are innumerable types of indigenous plants that have been used by people for centuries in the treatment of many ailments.

Herbal medication has been around for a long, long time. This healing technique has been helping people through countless generations. There are genuine herbal cures out there which have mostly benefited humanity.

In the age-old shamanic tradition, it took a near-death experience for the message to get through to him. Though still a young man, he was wracked with debilitating arthritis. Unable to handle the physical and psychic pain, he set out into the wilderness determined to kill himself with an overdose of drugs and alcohol. But before downing the substances, he approximated a Native American ceremony as best he could, sending a heartfelt prayer for assistance to the Great Spirit. He woke up--alive--the next morning and received a message from Eagle, telling him to seek help from Wahsek, a medicine man in the northern mountains. And so Bobby's apprenticeship began. Forbidden to reveal Wahsek's secrets until 10 years after his death, Bobby is now free to share this fascinating story with the world.
