One Spirit Medicine: Ancient Ways To Ultimate Wellness Paperback – 5 May 2015

Fantastic review from MysticJaguar!I just wish I'd bothered to read the US reviews before buying the kindle version in the UK.I was a bit hesitant to buy another book by Alberto Villoldo after becoming disillusioned with his previous ones many years ago... but I thought his experience of being seriously ill and being forced to practice what he preaches sounded really hopeful. After a promising start my reservations were confirmed at the mention of all kinds of weird and wonderful supplements, many of which I have never heard of, that may or may not be available here and I was worried about the recommended daily dosages of simple things like Vit. C etc.I do have brain fog due to CFS and Fibromyalgia so forgive my review for not being as specific and well supported as MysticJaguar's but I am hoping the simple fast (without all the supplements) I have started will help. I think the basic nutritional advice is good and rings true with my own experience and previous reading and pulls together a lot of "new" scientific theories nicely but the writing jarrs slightly with the visionary overlay.Even though I am very interested in shamanism and healing, I do find his synthesis of eastern, western and southern traditions bizarre and confusing. I think he is trying to cover far too much territory in this book. I think he felt he had to try to sum up a whole philosophy to newcomers to shamanism in order to appeal to the widest audience possible, while trying to combine very detailed scientific nutritional detail but it reads more like a two separate books forced into one.After the introduction about his own health crisis I should also like to have read the truth about his personal experience of, presumably, being healed and or cured. This aspect, despite the inclusion of so much else, was much missed.Having read his book I now realise that the other writer he worked with has also published various books, some co-written with Villoldo, and I feel they are both covering similar ground as are many other writers on the subject of recreating "new brains".To sum up, I think the information about nutrition, short periods of careful fasting and basically listening to your body and having regular rests from the internet! and other electronic stimulation worth repeating. But for me sadly it was not quite enough to justify buying this book.

Such useful wisdom. I read and reread parts and just generally following the diet has made massive improvements in my life already. My understanding of how my body works and what I put in it has been greatly improved with this book. I recommend it to everyone.

Great Book great tips advice & wisdom on all pages! Easy to read and brilliant for anybody looking for wellbeing improvement in their life.

Absolutely astounding book. Read, digest, trust, have faith and watch you become the 'real' you again. At peace and at One with all that is. As above so below, as within so without. Thank you thank you thank you

I am a follower of Alberto Volloldo's teachings. The concepts he puts forward here are totally fascinating.
