This review is from: Amazon Healer: The Life and Times of an Urban Shaman (Paperback)
Slim volume (164 pp.) about a healer in Pucallpa, Peru. Actually he is her father-in-law. Not terrific, since she reports on all this psychic healing at face value, without really tieing it to any substantive facts. These people all believe in witches and evil causing them bodily harm as a way of pushing off the problem to somebody else, much as we are so prone to lawsuits. I do think there is a definite connection between mental soundness and physical well-being. These Peruvians seem to view the world they live in as full of evil witches and people who wish them harm. Does jungle living make people so paranoid? There probably is something in psychic energy being able to heal, and people's auras telling of their illnesses; but this author does not really have enough empirical data.
