Ancient Ways to Ultimate Wellness
By Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D.
One Spirit Medicine offers readers a multi-layered wellness guide for the 21st century in the form of an easy-to-understand synthesis of ancient wisdom and recent research.
Initially trained as a psychologist and medical anthropologist, author Alberto Villoldo studied traditional healing practices of the Amazon and Andes for more than 25 years. He masterfully interweaves the essence of these practices with the latest healing information in nutrition, supplementation, detoxification and neural stem repair.
Villoldo’s enjoyable and coherent presentation begins with his own journey through a life-threatening health crisis that required application of all he had learned about energy medicine throughout his career. He later added a nutritional plan provided by Dr. Mark Hyman, author of The Blood Sugar Solution, and a neural cell repair strategy he co-created with Grain Brain author Dr. David Perlmutter.
One Spirit Medicine presents a master plan for vibrant mind and body that utilizes specific shamanic techniques to clear our energy fields of imprints for disease while upgrading our capacity for cellular repair; dietary and nutritional guidance for healing the “second brain” in our digestive tract; and methods for eliminating toxins in the gut and replenishing beneficial bacteria. It also includes guidance in use of the medicine wheel for cultivating the stillness and awareness that will allow us to let go of old ways of thinking to discover a new personal “mythology.” A comprehensive book on self-healing, it provides an accessible strategy for attaining the kind of health most of us aspire to, all within a compact and readable 200 pages.
