This book is not meant to entertain, it was written to shock you! It describes the first encounter between Spanish Conquistadors and the indigenous people of the new world. It is an irreverent and daring book that reflects three years of intensive research. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about the discovery of the Americas and the people Columbus saw for the very first time. It's the indigenous side of the story; filled with mysticism, herbalism, ancient healing, intrigue, psychic revelations, strange phenomena, struggle and war. Indigenous healers had an array of medicinal plants, mushrooms and even toxic fish, which they used to heal. They also used Ayahuasca and Curare to facilitate the transition to the afterlife in terminally ill patients, a practice modern medical science refers to as Palliative Medicine. The Inca performed craneal operations successfully, but all these ancient healers practiced connecting to a spiritual dimension in the healing process by using substances to enhance the trance and vision of that realm. Unfortunately, the first Conquistadors to arrive in the new world deemed them to be witches possessed by demons. Many were burned at the stake and much of their knowledge was lost to time. This book details part of that story along with many of the plants they used, their mystic approach to healing and the strange phenomena which modern science is still struggling to understand.
