Most of the histories of the West are obsessed with the shoot-em-ups. But what about the patch-em-ups? Who had to deal with all that famous carnage? With all the bloodletting depicted by pop culture historians, it almost seems a miracle anyone survived to settle the West. Prior to World War II regular, or allopathic, physicians trained in mainstream medicine were often outnumbered by alternative practitioners--folk curers, herbalists, faith healers, homeopaths, patent medicine promoters, and medicine showmen. Mystic Healers and Medicine Shows profiles many of the most significant of these healers as well as a few other colorful regular doctors.

This book discusses the perception of disease, healing concepts and the evolution of traditional systems of healing in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, India. The chapters cover a diverse range issues: people and knowledge systems, healing in ancient scriptures, concept of sacredness and faith healing, food as medicament, presumptions about disease, ethno-botanical aspects of medicinal plants, collection and processing of herbs, traditional therapeutic procedures, indigenous Materia medica, etc. The book also discusses the diverse therapeutic procedures followed by Himalayan healers and their significance in the socio-cultural life of Himalayan societies. The World Health Organization defines traditional medicine as wisdom, skills, and practices based on theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness and maintenance of health. In some Asian and African countries, 80% of the population depends on traditional medicine for primary health care. However, the knowledge of these conventional healing techniques and traditions associated with conveying this knowledge are slowly disappearing. The authors highlight the importance of safeguarding this indigenous knowledge in the cultural milieu of the Himachal Himalayas. This book will be an important resource for researchers in medical anthropology, biology, ethno-biology, ecology, community health, health behavior, psychotherapy, and Himalayan studies.

Angels are Holy Spirits (light beings or celestial beings) and are part of ones eternal soul energy. Soul energy is the connection between our minds, bodies and the universe. All humans have an eternal soul connected to their holy breath. Everyones breath is connected to the same universal love and light energy. But he or she must choose to open to that universal love and light energy because soul power (soul guides-angels-holy spirits) can not override our free will from the ego mind. We all must learn to choose our actions through our souls and not through our fearful limited ego minds. The connection between mind and body has been well documented by various scholars, medical doctors, theologians and scientists. Much has been written to suggest that all emotional and physical dis-eases come from prolonged THOUGHTS of fear, sadness, anger, distress, revenge, guilt, rejections and other uncomfortable feelings being buried. Our cells can only handle so much negative energy from thoughts and feelings before they become sick. Whatever we focus on grows. We have forgotten how to go within and hear our own wise loving angels. Kids need to know all drug highs are already inside and can be accessed by learning how to ask (pray) and meditate (listen) to ones own angels. Angels can teach people how to astral travel, time travel to past or future lives and learn that ALL ANSWERS LIE WITHIN YOU. All races and religions have angels. Your angels are waiting for you to help you have a happier and healthier life. You are never alone. Angels Know All contains channeled poetic messages from the angels interspersed with true angelic encounters that have changed peoples lives. Pope St. Leo states that the only advice he would ever give another human being is to get to know your very best friends, your own angel guardians.
